Overview: The publication of this second edition was motivated by several facts. First of all, the first edition had been sold out in less than one year. It had found excellent critics and enthusiastic responses from professors and students welcoming this new interdisciplinary approach. This appreciation is reflected by the fact that the book is presently translated into Russian and Japanese also. I have used this opportunity to include some of the most interesting recent developments. Therefore I have added a whole new chapter on the fascinating and rapidly growing field of chaos dealing with

Overview: .Social choice theory deals with aggregating the preferences of multiple individuals regarding several available alternatives, a situation colloquially known as voting...There are many different voting rules in use and even more in the literature, owing to the various considerations such an aggregation method should take into account. The analysis of voting scenarios becomes particularly challenging in the presence of strategic voters, that is, voters that misreport their true preferences in an attempt to obtain a more favorable outcome.In a world that is tightly connected by the Int

Overview: Kompakte Einführung speziell zur Bahnsicherungstechnik im Stadtverkehr.Alles Wissenswerte zum Thema.Mit vielen Abbildungen.Includes supplementary material: .Für Vorlesungen an der TU Braunschweig entstand als systematische Einführung in das Thema der Siche­rungstechnik der Bahnen im Stadtverkehr ein Skript, das jetzt in Form dieses .essentials. der Allgemeinheit zugänglich gemacht wird. Bisher wurde in verfügbaren Lehrbüchern der Bahnsicherungstechnik auf die Besonderheiten bei Stadtschnellbahnen und Straßenbahnen eher am Rande verwiesen, was jedoch der großen Bedeutung dieser Bahnsy

Overview: Wissenschaftlich-technische Studie.Includes supplementary material: .Michael Temmler zeigt, dass eine steuergerätetaugliche Verbrennungsoptimierung funktioniert. Dabei dienen physikalische Modellansätze zur Abbildung des Motorverhaltens. Die Kombination aus Verbrennungs-, Emissions- und Ladungswechselmodellen sowie nichtlinearen Optimierungsverfahren ermöglicht eine Individualisierung der Motorsteuerung am jeweiligen Verbrennungsmotor während seiner Laufzeit. Eine neue Steuergerätearchitektur unterstützt ein Ersetzen der zentralen Motorsteuerung durch ein System dezentraler gekapselt

Overview: A rare glimpse at historic contributions to the medical literature throughout the past five centuries, Science and Technology in Medicine beautifully documents the origins of some of the most signific.The history and evolution of the fields of science and medicine are symbiotically linked and thus are mutually dependent. Discoveries in one domain have allowed for progress in the other, and it is nearly impossible to study one area in isolation. The influence of science and technologic discoveries on medicine has profoundly impacted the way physicians practice and has resulted in an e

Overview: Examines and furthers Kenneth Morgan’s ‘people’s martyrology’ into the twentieth century.Advances a deeper understanding of the relationship and conflict between the state and the people.Offers a cohe.This edited collection examines the concept and nature of the ‘people’s martyrology’, raising issues of class, community, religion and authority. It examines modern martyrdom through studies of Peterloo; Tolpuddle; Featherstone; Tonypandy; Emily Davison, fatally injured by the King’s horse on Derby Day, 1913; the 1916 Easter Rising; Jarrow, ‘the town that was murdered, and martyred in t

Overview: Provides a comprehensive reference on quantitative performance evaluation.Includes simple examples and real-life applications.Extends important subjects in production theory into stochastic environmen.This book introduces readers to benchmarking techniques in the stochastic environment, primarily stochastic data envelopment analysis (DEA), and provides stochastic models in DEA for the possibility of variations in inputs and outputs. It focuses on the application of theories and interpretations of the mathematical programs, which are combined with economic and organizational thinking.

Overview: Brings together disparate knowledge to estimate the elastic thickness of the lithosphere.Provides explicit derivations of important equations.Contains practical implementation of methodsAlthough several excellent works exist that describe the effective elastic thickness (Te) of the lithosphere—its theory, significance and relevance to Earth sciences in general—none cover the details of the methods for its estimation. This book brings together the disparate knowledge required to estimate Te in one handy volume: signal processing, harmonic analysis, civil engineering, and foundational

Due to the large number of actors involved, extremely close ties emerge, which significantly increase supply chains’ vulnerability to disruptions – this has been shown again and again in the past few years. Against this background, the aspect
