Overview: Eine mathematikwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Franziska Beitz betrachtet verallgemeinerte Hodge-Laplace-Operatoren, die auf Differentialformen auf kompakten Riemannschen Mannigfaltigkeiten wirken. Im Fall von flachen Tori und runden Sphären verschiedener Radien bestimmt die Autorin explizit das Spektrum dieser Operatoren und untersucht, unter welchen Umständen diese isospektral sind, also dasselbe Spektrum besitzen. Dies ist eine typische Fragestellung in der Spektralgeometrie, in welcher man die Spektren geometrischer Operatoren untersucht, um von diesen R

Overview: The searches by European Union major states for ‘joined up‘ approaches to inner city regeneration are examined thematically through a focus on policy evolution since the mid-1970s. Key issues addressed include the physical, social, employment, and urban security agenda. The product of long-term research, drawing on extensive qualitative and quantitative sources at national level, backed by in-depth case study investigation of five large cities, the book assesses how contemporary urban rejuvenation is being regulated, including the increasing contribution of the European Union.978-1-3

Overview: Advocates an approach to species conservation that departs from dominant use value approach.Offers conservationists a naturalistic theory to ground their actions.Establishes the use of language as an .Humans pose an unprecedented threat to life in all its great diversity of forms. The human-induced extinction rate has been compared to “mass extinctions” of the past. But this language masks the fact that the crisis is due to voluntary, and thus, avoidable choices and actions. .“.Speaking of Forms of Life”. shows that at the root of this crisis is the tragic inadequacy of the language

Overview: Towards a Methodological FoundationThe field of social capital still lacks a recognized general theory. Accordingly, various and sometimes inappropriate measurements are used for it. Julia Häuberer contributes to filling in this gap and provides progress towards the creation of a formalized social capital theory based on the founding concepts of social capital of Bourdieu (1983) and Coleman (1988), and current concepts of Putnam (2000), Burt (1992) and Lin (2001). The second part of the monograph focuses on the quality of measurements of the more general concept of social capital der
