Overview: The first textbook presenting the recently discovered renormalization techniques for the Schrödinger as well as the Dirac equation.Includes supplementary material: Why another book on the renormalization of field theory? This book aims to contribute to the bridging of the gap between the treatments of renor­ malization in physics courses and the mathematically rigorous approach. It provides a simple but rigorous introduction to perturbative renormalization, and, in doing so, also equips the reader with some basic techniques which are a prerequisite for studying renormalization nonper

Overview: Unter Verwendung der Turniertheorie untersucht Peter Delling die Risikostrategie von miteinander im Wettbewerb stehenden Fondsmanagern. Die spieltheoretische Analyse geht insbesondere auf die Hypothese ein, dass Fondsmanager mit schlechter Performance zum Jahresende hin ihr Risiko gegenüber Managern mit besserer Performance erhöhen. In verschiedenen Modellansätzen wird dargelegt, dass entsprechendes Verhalten eine rationale Reaktion auf die in der Fondsindustrie anzutreffenden Rahmenbedingungen ist. In der empirischen Untersuchung wird das Turnierverhalten erstmalig für den deutschen

Overview: Offers a new, universal algebraic and lattice-theoretical approach.Provides tools for further work, for example on varieties of algebras, but also on operator theory.Includes many examples and counterAdopting a new universal algebraic approach, this book explores and consolidates the link between Tarski‘s classical theory of equidecomposability types monoids, abstract measure theory (in the spirit of Hans Dobbertin‘s work on monoid-valued measures on Boolean algebras) and the nonstable K-theory of rings. This is done via the study of a monoid invariant, defined on Boolean inverse sem

Overview: Provides insights into entrepreneurial, innovation, technological, and institutional capabilities within universities.Explores university capabilities for capturing applied innovations across continen.Although most universities could be considered bureaucrat organizations, the accumulated knowledge reveals that universities try to adapt their core activities and technological innovation processes to face the current socio-economic challenges. This book explores the ways in which universities have re-built multiple capabilities to support the development of applied innovation and mana

Overview: Gives flesh to precarious women service workers’ subjectivities.Follows workers‘ struggles from white to black women‘s labour.Contextualizes debates around employment, inequality, poverty alleviation .This book argues that we need to focus attention on the ways that workers themselves have invested subjectively in what it means to be a worker. By doing so, we gain an explanation that moves us beyond the economic decisions made by actors, the institutional constraints faced by trade unions, or the power of the state to interpellate subjects. These more common explanations make workers

Overview: Argues that in order to be truly effective, public health scientists must develop reasoning skills that are adapted to public health issues.Draws upon public health issues as wide ranging as infectiouThis book argues that in order to be truly effective, public health must embrace a group of reasoning strategies that have traditionally been characterized as informal fallacies. It will be demonstrated that these strategies can facilitate judgements about complex public health issues in contexts of uncertainty..The book explains how scientists and lay people routinely resort to the use

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Die Entwicklung des Rechts der Risikoaufklärung spaltet die im Medizinrecht tätigen Anwälte ebenso wie die Ärzteschaft in Lager. Beklagt wird einerseits eine nach wie vor ungenügende Bereitschaft der Ärzte, Patienten über die mit medizinischer Behandlung verbundenen Risiken und Gefahren aufzuklären. Beklagt wird andererseits eine ausgeuferte Rechtsprechung, die im Bereich der Medizin noch Risiken für aufklärungspflichtig halte, die weit unterhalb der Schwelle von jedermann allgemein in Kauf genommener Risiken liege. Die Beiträge liefern neben einer An

Overview: Awarded an ‘honourable mention’ in the Khayrallah Prize in Migration Studies.First major work in English on France’s migrant worker hostels, a massive state-led housing policy for migrant workers.This.This open access book offers new insights into the ageing-migration nexus and the nature of home. Documenting the hidden world of France’s migrant worker hostels, it explores why older North and West African men continue to live past retirement age in this sub-standard housing. Conventional wisdom holds that at retirement labour migrants ought to instead return to their families in home

Overview: Surveys, for the first time in book form, the state-of-the-art in plasmonic probes.Covers basic theory to practical implementation, giving a broad overview of the field.Describes novel applications suThis book gives a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in both theory and practical implementation of plasmonic probes. Encompassing multiple disciplines, the field of plasmonics provides a versatile and flexible platform for nanoscale sensing and imaging. Despite being a relatively young field, plasmonic probes have come a long way, with applications in chemical, biological, ci

Overview: Compares those active resistance movements which burst into public view in China and "cultural resistance", which instead lies unspoken in everyday action. This book argues that certain areas of life defuse attempts at cultural domination by resisting and dissolving all unified interpretation.978-1-349-13205-8978-1-349-13203-4

Overview: Asset pricing theory aims at linking an asset’s higher return to its higher risk exposure. However, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) of Sharpe (1964) and Lintner (1965), the most widely taught model in business and economics classes, has been largely contested in the literature by researchers finding anomalous patterns in equity returns. Based on the failure to match the CAPM with empirical data, researchers have been in an ongoing dispute whether the anomalous behavior in equity returns is still reconcilable with market equilibrium and, therefore, with a risk-based explanation

Overview: .The author of this multimedia work sets himself an ambitious goal: to allow a surgeon to achieve the revision of a prosthesis without too many difficulties (or too much apprehension!) with guaranteed results if he follows the proposed method step by step, and this, even if he is not very experienced in this discipline.To fulfil this purpose, the author provides a clear definition of the press-fit concept (principles and practical applications) and from there, he offers a logical and rigorous method for, first of all, planning the surgery, and then, performing it.The written text is
