Overview: There is no respect for mere age in Science or Technology. Yet the cen­ tenary of the discovery, by the third Lord Rayleigh, that elastic waves can be guided by a surface, is memorable for the contradictions which it encompasses: Rayleigh‘s assessment of his classic 1885 paper as a rather minor mathematical development with a potential value only in seismology on the one hand; on the other the rediscovery of the subject in a totally that of electronic signal processing - which has led to its different fiel- explosive growth over the last twenty years. The new surface acoustic wave (S

Overview: In this monograph, noncooperative games are studied. Since in a noncooperative game binding agreements are not possible, the solution of such a game has to be self­ enforcing, i. e. a Nash equilibrium (NASH [1950,1951J). In general, however, a game may possess many equilibria and so the problem arises which one of these should be chosen as the solution. It was first pointed out explicitly in SELTEN [1965J that I not all Nash equilibria of an extensive form game are qualified to be selected as the solution, since an equilibrium may prescribe irrational behavior at unreached parts of t

Overview: This book discusses the potential of green technology in waste management, wetland restoration and presents the latest advances toward sustainable development.Highlights a broad range of strategies to​The risks and consequences of environmental change are increasing, leading to massive losses in terms of ecosystems and having a huge impact on human populations. As such, global thinkers, environmentalists, scientists and policy makers are focusing on finding solutions and ways to sustain life on Earth. Anthropogenic impacts on the climate system can only be mitigated by the restoratio

Overview: Review of adaptive and biomimetic building envelopes.Lessons from nature applicable to architectural technologies.Sustainable architecture.This book illustrates the potential of nature when it comes to rethinking the role of the building envelope, which is responsible for energy flows between the internal and external environment, in the era of climate change. Nature has always inspired architects and engineers in the design of structures and buildings, but its role has been limited to a simple morphological imitation with aesthetic value. Today, however, thanks to the biomimetic dis

Overview: Recycling Shakespeare is an irreverent assault on the Shakespearian establishment which presumes to have squatter‘s rights on the ‘collected works‘ which it treats as holy writ. Marowitz, himself both a critic and director with successful productions of nearly a dozen Shakespeare plays behind him, shows how Shakespeare, like so many of his own earlier sources, can be reused, restructured and recycled for contemporary consumption.

Overview: Romanticism in all its expression communicated a vision of theessential interconnectedness and harmony of the universe. The romanticconcept of knowledge was decidedly unitary, but, in the period between1790 and 1840, the special emphasis it placed on observation andresearch led to an unprecedented accumulation of data, accompanied bya rapid growth in scientific specialization. An example of thetensions created by this development is to be found in the scientists‘congresses which attempted a first response to the fragmentation ofscientific research..The problem concerning the unitary

Overview: The aim of the workshop was to bring together specialists in various fields where non-exponential relaxation is observed in order to compare models and experimental results and to examine the general physical principles governing this type of behaviour. Non-exponential relaxation is found in extremely diverse physical systems all of which can be classified as complex. The form of the relaxation is generally parametrized using logarithmic, algebraic or stretched exponential decay forms. The conceptually simplest mechanism for the non-exponential decay is a spectrum of relaxation rates

Overview: This is an entirely new book. The first edition appeared in 1923 and at that time it was up to date. But in 193 5 and 1938 the author and Prof. D. J. STRUIK published a new book, their Einführung I and li, and this book not only gave the first systematic introduction to the kernel­ index method but also contained many notions that had come into prominence since 1923. For instance densities, quantities of the second kind, pseudo-quantities, normal Coordinates, the symbolism of exterior forms, the LIE derivative, the theory of variation and deformation and the theory of subprojective c

Overview: The cause of end-stage renal failure in one-third of patients treated by regular haemodialysis or kidney transplantation is some variety of glomerular disease. Less serious glomerular dis­ orders are more common and often cause inappropriate conster­ nation to the patients and, sometimes, to their doctors. Similar clinical features can be produced by pathological lesions ranging from the trivial to the life-threatening, and renal biopsy is often necessary to establish the diagnosis. However, its widespread use during the past 20 years has enabled clinicopathological correlations to b

Overview: Umfassende Längsschnittanalyse von 1957 bis heuteRentenpolitik erscheint als die Vollstreckung diverser Sachnotwendigkeiten, als eine technische Antwort auf geteilte gesellschaftliche Probleme wie den demografischen Wandel und die strukturelle Arbeitslosigkeit. Eine sequenzierte Längsschnittanalyse, die die Entwicklung des deutschen Rentensystems von 1957 bis heute betrachtet, macht deutlich, dass es zu jeder Zeit unterschiedliche Reformkorridore gab, die sich aus den unterschiedlichen Interessen der Kollektivakteure Arbeitnehmer, Arbeitgeber und politisch-administratives System erge

Overview: This book responds to recent events by proposing a radical reshaping of Marxist theory. Taking the core problem as that of the historical subject, it conceptualises human life in terms of four interrelated practices. It explores these in turn in the context of a capitalism divided into ‘centre‘ and ‘periphery‘, primarily through nine ‘theoretical reconstructions‘, which attempt to meet such problems as the labour theory of value, the nature and role of the state, and consciousness.978-0-333-65455-2978-1-349-24375-4Series ISSN 2946-9945 Series E-ISSN 2946-9953
