Overview: For about a decade I have made an effort to study quadratic forms in infinite dimensional vector spaces over arbitrary division rings. Here we present in a systematic fashion half of the results found du­ ring this period, to wit, the results on denumerably infinite spaces (" ~O- forms") . Certain among the resul ts included here had of course been published at the time when they were found, others appear for the first time (the case, for example, in Chapters IX, X, XII where I in­ clude results contained in the Ph.D.theses by my students w. Allenspach, L. Brand, U. Schneider, M. Stu

Overview: Nach der globalen Finanzkrise 2007/08 herrschte die Handlungsmaxime: Banken müssen mit mehr Eigenkapital ausgestattet sein und dieses Eigenkapital muss von besserer Qualität sein. Dass das Eigenkapital einer Bank sowohl einen quantitativen als auch qualitativen Aspekt haben kann, ist ein besonderes Phänomen der Bankenregulierung. Denn das Eigenkapital einer Bank ist nichts Physisches, sondern ein Residualbetrag. Das Eigenkapital einer Bank kann erst nach Verkauf aller Aktiva und Befriedigung aller Passiva mit Sicherheit bestimmt werden. In der Bankenregulierung existiert ein Vielfach

Overview: Bei der Einführung von Qualitätsmanagement in produzierenden Unternehmen verfügen die Mitarbeiter oft über hohe fachliche Kompetenz, jedoch kaum über die Erfahrung für die Schulung von Personal. Sie suchen deshalb nach praxisnahen und -erprobten Verfahren zur arbeitssystembezogenen Vermittlung von Qualitätswissen. Diese Handlungsanleitung bietet Problemlösungen für den Erhalt von Erfahrungswissen bei personellen Veränderungen, für die Vermeidung von Fehlleistungsaufwand an der Schnittstelle Mensch-Maschine, für die Gestaltung von Kunden-Lieferanten-Beziehungen. Die modulare Anordnung

Overview: Based on the first workshop on quality of protection.Combines security metrics with empirical software engineering.Quality of Protection: Security Measurements and Metrics. is an edited volume based on the Quality of Protection Workshop in Milano, Italy (September 2005). This volume discusses how security research can progress towards quality of protection in security comparable to quality of service in networking and software measurements, and metrics in empirical software engineering. Information security in the business setting has matured in the last few decades. Standards such a

Overview: Volume discusses the latest issues of this hot and demanding topic.Drinking water quality is a vast and complex subject. In addition to the topics already addressed in Volume 5, part B of this Handbook in 1995, this new volume discusses in an authoritative way the current key issues of drinking water quality and its control: - Toxicity tests for assessing drinking water quality - Toxicological approaches for developing drinking water standards - Analysis of organic micropollutants - Algal toxins and human health - Quality changes due to application of ozone and chlorine dioxide. The

Overview: Summarizes fundamental thermodynamic principles.Presents many applications for earth scientists.Contains a comprehensive appendix with equations and functions.This book summarizes recent impressive improvements in the application of Quantum Mechanics, coupled with the significant increase in both speed and storage capabilities of modern computers, that allow to depict the energy and reactive properties of chemically complex materials through first principles and destroy the dogmatic assumption that the natural complexity cannot be modeled. It presents methods of Quantum Chemistry app

Overview: Providing a practical guide to actual calculations.First introductory book for newcomers to the field.Includes supplementary material: .The lattice formulation is at present the most successful approach to Quantum Chromodynamics - the theory of quarks and gluons. This book is intended for newcomers to the field and presents a clear and easy-to-follow path from the first principles all the way to actual calculations. It focusses on QCD and discusses mainly SU(3) lattice gauge theory, both with and without fermions. Numerical calculations in lattice field theory have now become the mos

Overview: Authored by pioneering authors in the field.Self-contained pedagogical introduction and survey.Connects very broadly fundamentals and wide-ranging applications.Includes supplementary material: .The aim of this book is the pedagogical exploration of the basic principles of quantum-statistical thermodynamics as applied to various states of matter – ranging from rare gases to astrophysical matter with high-energy density. The reader will learn in this work that thermodynamics and quantum statistics are still the concepts on which even the most advanced research is operating - despite of

Overview: Applies a queer framework to issues of kinship.Engages with questions of visibility, inclusion/exclusion and family members as allies.Offers important contributions to kinship studies, LGBT studies an.Set against the backdrop of a country which upholds a heteronormative and narrow view of family, this book provides insights into the lives of Hungarian same-sex couples and their heterosexual relatives. Béres-Deák utilizes the theoretical framework of intimate citizenship, as well as findings from ethnographic interviews, participant observation and online sources. Instead of emphasizi

Overview: Clear presentation of the complicated problems of atomic physics.Most parts understandable for advanced undergratuate or graduate students.Contains practical methods for computation of opacity and equIn the processes studied in contemporary physics one encounters the most diverse conditions: temperatures ranging from absolute zero to those found in the cores of stars, and densities ranging from those of gases to densities tens of times larger than those of a solid body. Accordingly, the solution of many problems of modern physics requires an increasingly large volume of information a

It made possible various technical devices like lasers or mobile phone

Overview: Using the successful standard model of particle physics but without clear guidance beyond it, it is a di?cult task to write a physics book beyond the standard model from a phenomenological point of view. At present, there is no major convincing inner space related experimental evidence against the standard model. The neutrino oscillation phenomena can be considered part of it by including a singlet ?eld in the spectrum. Only the outer space - servations on matter asymmetry, dark matter, and dark energy hint at the phenomenological need for an extension; however, there has been theore

Overview: Clearly relating macro level sustainability requirements to micro level eco-efficiency.Bringing precision to the Factor X discussion.Differentiating between win-win as dynamic goal and the optimality .A central asset of eco-efficiency analysis is that it does not depend on a specific evaluation of environmental impacts against economic effects, avoiding the often disputed results of neo-classical evaluation methods. For integrating the different environmental scores several evaluation methods may be used including those based on willingness-to-pay, panel procedures, and public statem
