Overview: Gives a step-by-step derivation of the physical basis of quantum mechanics without using complex mathematics.Provides a close linking of experiment and theory.Describes most modern experiments relatedThe book deals with all essential aspects of non-relativistic quantum physics up to the quantization of fields. In contrast to common textbooks of quantum mechanics, modern experiments are described both for the purpose of foundation of the theory and in relation to recent applications. In this respect applications to nano-electronics as well as the realization of quantum-bits are presen

Overview: Clusters as agglomerates of smaller members of atoms represent a new class of materials with totally new applications.New effects basing on quantum phenomena and the transition from atomic to solid st.Clusters and nanoscale materials give rise to properties and behaviour that are governed by size restrictions, and hence display features directly attributable to quantum confinement. Thus they represent ideal media for observing and studying quantum phenomena. This book presents and evaluates some of the latest developments in this area of basic research. Each of the chapters focuses o

Overview: The Distress/Protection Vulnerability model of HRQL impairment.New insights from neuroscience.Integrative approach to quality of life measurement.Comparative data regarding severe mental disorders.TreOver the past few decades health-related quality of life (HRQL) has emerged as the new image of medicine viewed from a psychosocial perspective. The concept of Quality of Life has attracted a good deal of interest, not only from a clinical perspective but also from psychosocial, health economics as well as cultural aspects. More recently, the neurobiological brain substrates that modulat

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The papers in this book present various viewpoints on the design and - plementation of techniques for QoS engineering for Internet services.They were selected from more than 70 submissions to the 1st International workshop on “Quality of future Internet services” (QofIS) organized by COST Action 263. The main focus of the papers is on the creation, con?guration and deployment of end-to-end services over a QoS assured Internet using the IntServ (Integrated Services) and Di?Serv (Di?erentiated Services) models. The main technical p- gramme was completed

Overview: Wohnviertel, Stadtquartiere, Kieze: Für BewohnerInnen sind sie nicht mehr und nicht weniger als die lokale Verankerung in der (Groß)stadt und der globalisierten Welt. In der Wissenschaft gibt es inzwischen vielfältige Diskurse über den lokalen Nahraum. Ebenso wichtig ist das Quartier als strategische Planungskategorie – es hat als Meso-Level zwischen Stadt- und Individualebene in den letzten Jahren geradezu Karriere gemacht: Stadtentwicklungsprogramme wie "Soziale Stadt" oder "Stadtumbau Ost/West", aber auch wohnungswirtschaftliche Aktivitäten konzentrieren sich mehr und mehr auf die

Overview: State of the art papers.Well-known expert contributors.Growing field of science.Includes supplementary material: The second Workshop on "Quality and Reliability of Large-Eddy Simulations",QLES2009, was held at the University of Pisa from September 9 to September 11,2009. Its predecessor, QLES2007, was organized in 2007 in Leuven (Belgium). Thefocus of QLES2009 was on issues related to predicting, assessing and assuring thequality of LES.The main goal of QLES2009 was to enhance the knowledge on error sources andon their interaction in LES and to devise criteria for the prediction and

Overview: The book presents arguments that are critical of the Basel II Accord, particularly the advanced measurement approach to operational risk. It is argued that the advanced measurement approach is not viable in terms of costs and benefits and is likely to distract financial institutions from the real task of managing operational risk.978-1-349-30822-4978-0-230-59514-9Series ISSN 2946-2010 Series E-ISSN 2946-2029

Overview: Since the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was first developed in 1985, an enormous number of research reports have documented the versatility of this brilliant technique for in vitro amplification of nucleic acids. Although PCR has had a profound impact in many areas of research, contrary to exp- tation its routine application to the quantitation of nucleic acids has proven problematic in several aspects. The shortcomings are principally caused by the exponential nature of PCR, whereby small variations in amplification ef- ciency may dramatically affect the yield of amplification pro

Overview: This treatise is devoted to an analysis of the present state of the quantum theory of chemical reactions. It will be divided into three volumes and will contain the contributions to an international seminar organized by the editors. The first one, is concerned with the fundamental problems which occur when studying a gas phase reaction or a reaction for which the solvent effect is not taken into account. The two first papers show how the collision theory can be used to predict the behaviour of interacting small molecules. For large molecules the complete calculations are not possible
