Overview: The proceedings of the summer 1999 Chorin workshop on stochastic climate models captures well the spirit of enthusiasm of the workshop participants engaged in research in this exciting field. It is amazing that nearly 25 years after the formal theory of natural climate variability generated by quasi-white-noise weather forcing was developed, and almost 35 years after J . M. Mitchell first suggested this mechanism as the origin of sea-surf ace-temperature fluctuations and climate variability, there have arisen so many fresh perspectives and new applications of the theory. The workshop

Overview: Overview of the evolution of service industries, the influence of globalization and innovation, and main factors explaining their growth and location trends.New contributions on a previously under-resThe service sector in most advanced economies accounts for up to seventy percent of employment and GDP and, given its growing importance, has received much research attention over the last two decades. However, not very much attention has been paid to the relationship between this sector and both its territorial impact and regional effects. The main objective of this book is to offer a c

Overview: Der Band sammelt Beiträge von Erziehungswissenschaftlern und Historikern zu den Themenkomplexen Jugend, Jugendkulturen, Schule und Stadt..Die Heterogenität der Beiträge ist nur vordergründig. Dabei stehen theoretische Perspektiven der Jugendforschung neben praxisnahen Reflexionen und theoretische Analysen neben Beiträgen zu aktuellen Debatten der Schul- und Jugendforschung des frühen 21. Jahrhunderts. Gerahmt werden die Beiträge jedoch durch ein Erkenntnis- und Forschungsinteresse, das empirische Forschungen mit theoretischen Entwürfen zu kombinieren sucht. Dadurch entstehen ausgewäh

Overview: Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Studie​Die Forschungsarbeit stellt die erste wissenschaftliche Arbeit über deutsche Stadtslogans, wenn nicht weltweit über Stadtslogans dar. Der theoretisch-konzeptionelle Teil der Arbeit ist geprägt durch eine interdisziplinäre Vorgehensweise, die in dieser Form im Stadtmarketing bislang nicht vorzufinden war. Ausgehend vom aktuellen Stand der internationalen betriebswirtschaftlichen Markenforschung als zentralem wissenschaftlichem Bezugspunkt erfolgt eine Integration des Place-Branding und der Urbanistik; ferner wurde zur Erfassung von Slogans die Lingu

Overview: Offers a novel perspective on the epistemology of science and mathematics.Describes scientific knowledge as a combination of accurate reference and analytical interpretation.Includes philosophical cas.This book deals with a topic that has been largely neglected by philosophers of science to date: the ability to refer and analyze in tandem. On the basis of a set of philosophical case studies involving both problems in number theory and issues concerning time and cosmology from the era of Galileo, Newton and Leibniz up through the present day, the author argues that scientific knowledg

Overview: For much of the post-war era, the substance and scope of international security was defined by the parameters of the Cold War. But the end of the Cold War has created a new global context. This book seeks to map out the nature of post-Cold War security by exploring the patterns of international conflict, weighing non-state challenges to security, examining inter-state cooperation in the security field and evaluating the security dynamics of the Asia-Pacific region.978-0-230-37705-9

Overview: Unique collection of material in spectral theory that was only available in research papers before.Theory is presented in a unified, axiomatic and elementary way.Only a basic knowledge of functional aSpectral theory is an important part of functional analysis.It has numerous appli­ cations in many parts of mathematics and physics including matrix theory, func­ tion theory, complex analysis, differential and integral equations, control theory and quantum physics. In recent years, spectral theory has witnessed an explosive development. There are many types of spectra, both for one or s

Overview: Peter Cameron is a well-known mathematician with an excellent reputation, both as a teacher and as a researcher..The book proposal has had very good reviews and should sell well even though it is a hiSet theory, logic and category theory lie at the foundations of mathematics, and have a dramatic effect on the mathematics that we do, through the Axiom of Choice, Gödel‘s Theorem, and the Skolem Paradox. But they are also rich mathematical theories in their own right, contributing techniques and results to working mathematicians such as the Compactness Theorem and module categories. The
