Overview: Is timely and comprehensive analysis of a very topical subject.Provides clear explanation of a complex and fragmented legal framework.Presents critical assessment of the most pressing issues that surrThis book provides a comprehensive analysis and explanation of the legal regime with regard to deep sea mining. The wide array of activities which we refer to as deep sea mining are not governed by one universal framework. On the contrary, numerous legal instruments play a role, and it is important to maintain a clear overview. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)

Overview: One of the grand challenges of artificial intelligence is to enable computers to interpret 3D scenes and objects from imagery. This book organizes and introduces major concepts in 3D scene and object representation and inference from still images, with a focus on recent efforts to fuse models of geometry and perspective with statistical machine learning. The book is organized into three sections: (1) Interpretation of Physical Space; (2) Recognition of 3D Objects; and (3) Integrated 3D Scene Interpretation. The first discusses representations of spatial layout and techniques to inter

Overview: Das Jahrbuch diskutiert das spannungsreiche Verhältnis zwischen Prozessen der Säkularisierung in Gesellschaft und Politik einerseits, von Religion und Religiosität andererseits in vergleichender Perspektive. Die aktuelle Krise der westlichen Wohlfahrtsstaaten, die christliche Rhetorik New Labours, love parade und Kommunitarismus à la USA rücken die religiösen Grundlagen von Solidarität und Gemeinsinn, aber auch alter und neuer Formen der Ausgrenzung wieder ins Blickfeld.978-3-8100-2200-4978-3-322-95087-1

Overview: Established textbook.Continues to lead its readers to some of the hottest topics of contemporary mathematical research.Includes supplementary material: Riemannian geometry is characterized, and research is oriented towards and shaped by concepts (geodesics, connections, curvature, ... ) and objectives, in particular to understand certain classes of (compact) Riemannian manifolds defined by curvature conditions (constant or positive or negative curvature, ... ). By way of contrast, geometric analysis is a perhaps somewhat less system­ atic collection of techniques, for solving extrema

Overview: aktueller Stand der Forschung;.Anwendungsbeispiele;.HandlungsempfehlungenBergbau, insbesondere im Tagebau, verursacht tiefgreifende Eingriffe in Landschaft und Umwelt, die nach der Beendigung der bergbaulichen Aktivitäten nur mit großem Aufwand gelindert werden können. Der Erfolg von Rekultivierungsmaßnahmen, wie sie seit Jahrzehnten von den Bergbaubetreibern durchgeführt werden, hängt wesentlich von dem verfügbaren Untergrund ab. Neben der Folgenutzung für Freizeitflächen kommen die landwirtschaftliche oder die forstwirtschaftliche Nutzung in Betracht. Rekultivierung kann somit als

Overview: Provides a systematic, comparative assessment of current avenues for carbon dioxide conversion.Presents insights into the technical and economic feasibility of these processes.Discusses bacterial methThis book outlines the most recent progress in the development of technologies for carbon dioxide utilization into renewable synthetic fuels and platform chemicals via chemical and biological routes. Various processes are discussed, including thermocatalytic, electrocatalytic, photocatalytic, and biological conversion. This SpringerBrief consists of four chapters, each chapter outlining

Overview: Explores African philosophy of education and ubuntu justice through the lens of a massive open online course.Maintains that interactions like this can potentially stimulate and encourage just, democraThis book examines African philosophy of education and the enactment of ubuntu justice through a massive open online course on Teaching for Change. The authors argue that such pedagogic encounters have the potential to stimulate just and democratic human relations: encounters that are critical, deliberate, reflective and compassionate could enable just and democratic human relations to f

Overview: Essentially self-contained account of the known regularity theory of optimal maps in the case of quadratic cost.Presents proofs of some recent results like Sobolev regularity and Sobolev stability forIn this thesis, we study the regularity of optimal transport maps and its applications to the semi-geostrophic system. The first two chapters survey the known theory, in particular there is a self-contained proof of Brenier’ theorem on existence of optimal transport maps and of Caffarelli’s Theorem on Holder continuity of optimal maps. In the third and fourth chapter we start investigati

Overview: Concise presentations of the relevant theory for the basic as well as up-to-date topics.Complex data structures beyond the pure treatment of robust methods.Robust methods for all fields of statistical​This Festschrift in honour of Ursula Gather’s 60th birthday deals with modern topics in the field of robust statistical methods, especially for time series and regression analysis, and with statistical methods for complex data structures. The individual contributions of leading experts provide a textbook-style overview of the topic, supplemented by current research results and questions

Overview: This book explores communication between humans and robots. Using a range of communication theories, it highlights how each theory provides a different perspective on the communication that occurs. The analysis of human interactions with a variety of forms of robot suggests new ways to perceive what communication, and being a communicator, entails.978-1-137-46837-6

Overview: "Der übertriebene Begriff der meisten Menschen von ihren Fähigkeiten ist ein altes übel, worauf die Philosophen und Moralisten aller Zeiten hingewiesen haben; aber ihre alberne Einbildung auf ihr gutes Glück hat man weniger beachtet. " Dieser Satz steht - mehr nebenbei - in dem Ka­ pitel "Lohn und Gewinn in den verschiedenen Anwendungen der Arbeit und des Kapitals" bei Adam Smith in dem berühmten Buch mit der Kurz­ bezeichnung "Der Wohlstand der Nationen". Die Menschen sind nach Ansicht von Adam Smith zu risiko freudig, sie vertrauen zu sehr auf ihr Glück. Mit erhobenem Zeigefinger w

Overview: The purpose of the package is to answer the question ‘What is the radio field strength at a certain point?‘ when power is radiated from a transmit­ ting source. Because of the complexity of the question in general, it can only be answered at present in certain idealized situations. Nevertheless it is valuable to have quantitative data available for these situations. The package is divided into two parts. In the first of these, propagation in free space and over a flat earth are dealt with. In the second, propagation over a spherical earth is considered. In the free-space situation th
