Overview: These notes are in part based on a course for advanced students in the applications of stochastic processes held in 1978 at the University of Konstanz. These notes contain the results of re­ cent studies on the stochastic description of ion transport through biological membranes. In particular, they serve as an introduction to an unified theory of fluctuations in complex biological transport systems. We emphasize that the subject of this volume is not to introduce the mathematics of stochastic processes but to present a field of theoretical biophysics in which stochastic methods are

Overview: Ein Überblick über die Soziologische TheorieDieses essential zeigt, inwiefern bereits drei Klassiker der Soziologie, Durkheim, Weber und Simmel, die drei logisch möglichen Grundperspektiven des Blicks auf das soziale Zusammenleben von Menschen entworfen haben.
