Overview: There are many ways to write a book on shells. The author might, for example, devote his attention exclusively to a special type, such as shell roofs or pressure vessels, and consider all the minor details of stress calculations and even the design. On the other hand, he might stress the mathematical side of the subject to such an extent that he virtually writes a book on differential equations under the guise of the mechanical subject. The present hook has been kept away from these extremes. At first sight it may look to many people like a mathematics book, but it is hoped that the

Overview: Presents the effect of perturbations in terms of analytic functions instead of in terms of the more classical asymptotic expansions.Shows a powerful tool for the analysis of nonlinear and non-variatio.This book is devoted to the analysis of the basic boundary value problems for the Laplace equation in singularly perturbed domains.  The main purpose is to illustrate a method called Functional Analytic Approach, to describe the dependence of the solutions upon a singular perturbation parameter in terms of analytic functions. Here the focus is on domains with small holes and the perturb

In einem

Overview: Engineering materials with desirable physical and technological properties requires understanding and predictive capability of materials behavior under varying external conditions, such as temperature and pressure. This immediately brings one face to face with the fundamental difficulty of establishing a connection between materials behavior at a microscopic level, where understanding is to be sought, and macroscopic behavior which needs to be predicted. Bridging the corresponding gap in length scales that separates the ends of this spectrum has been a goal intensely pursued by theor

Overview: In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the importance of reproductive biology to crop production and there has been a tremendous increase in research on reproductive structures of higher plants. Presented here is a wide information of different aspects of micro- and macrosporogenesis, pollen-stigma interaction and recognition, pollen tube growth, cytoskeleton, in vitro and in vivo gamete fusion, and incompatibility. The most advanced techniques employed in studies on reproductive biology of higher plants are described in detail.978-3-642-77679-3978-3-642-77677-9

Overview: In den vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnten haben Fernsehserien, oftmals unter dem Begriff des „Quality TV“ firmierend, eine merkliche kulturelle Aufwertung erfahren. Während der Großteil der Studien den – auch transnational zu verzeichnenden – Erfolg dieser Formate vor allem in ihren narrativen und (audio-)visuellen Innovationen verortet, widmet sich dieser Band der intensiveren Verhandlung des Sozialen in der Serie. Demzufolge besteht ein weiterer bedeutender Faktor für die gestiegene Attraktion von Fernsehserien im detaillierten sozialstrukturellen Aufbau der Seriengesellschaften, in welc

Overview: Provides and discusses S-PLUS, R, and SAS executable functions and macros for all new graphical display formats.All graphs and tabular output in the book were constructed using these programs1 Audience Students seeking master‘s degrees in applied statistics in the late 1960s and 1970s typically took a year-long sequence in statistical methods. Popular choices of the course text book in that period prior to the availability of high­ speed computing and graphics capability were those authored by Snedecor and Cochran, and Steel and Torrie. By 1980, the topical coverage in these classics

Overview: Rapid advances in microelectronic integration and the advent of Systems-on-Chip have fueled the need for high-level synthesis, i.e., an automated approach to the synthesis of hardware from behavioral descriptions. .SPARK: A Parallelizing Approach to the High - Level Synthesis of Digital Circuits. presents a novel approach to the high-level synthesis of digital circuits -- that of parallelizing high-level synthesis (PHLS). This approach uses aggressive code parallelizing and code motion techniques to discover circuit optimization opportunities beyond what is possible with traditional

Overview: .Static and Dynamic Performance Limitations for High Speed D/A Converters. discusses the design and implementation of high speed current-steering CMOS digital-to-analog converters. .Starting from the definition of the basic specifications for a D/A converter, the elements determining the static and dynamic performance are identified. Different guidelines based on scientific derivations are suggested to optimize this performance. Furthermore, a new closed formula has been derived to account for the influence of the transistor mismatch on the achievable resolution of the current-steeri

Overview: In Volume 5 of Surgical Neuroangiography we will discuss indications and approaches for endovascular treatment of disorders affecting the spine and spinal cord circulations. Our approach is similar to those discussed in volume 2 and 4, it requires integration of knowledge concerning functional vascular anatomy, lesion angioarchitecture, and the relationship between normal and pathological circulations. In AVMs these features are considered as they relate to the clinical presen­ tation, progression, and natural history of the lesion. All these factors must then be combined with an und

Overview: Starbursts are regions of unusually rapid star formation, often located in the central parts of galaxies. They differ from more normal regions of star formation in terms of the throughput of mass and the rapidity with which the gas is consumed. In the last twenty years, extensive observational data at most wavelengths have become available on starbursts, but many important issues remain to be addressed, observationally as well as theoretically. How are strong episodes of star formation triggered? What is the quantity of gas converted into stars during bursts? What is the initial mass

Overview: Friedenspolitik wird heute viel zu häufig verengt auf den einen, wenn auch wichtigen Teilbereich Sicherheitspolitik. Friedenspolitik ist mehr. Sie umfaßt nicht nur das Verhältnis zu den Nachbarn in all seiner Vielschichtigkeit, sondern auch zum Bürger im eigenen Lande und überlagert weite Bereiche gesamtstaatlichen Handelns. Friedenspolitik verlangt eine umfassende Stra­ tegie im globalen Sinne und zugleich für ihre Teile, also auch die Sicherheits­ politik. Das Aufbegehren gegen die Konsequenzen der aktuellen verteidigungs­ politischen Doktrinen zeigt, wie brüchig die herkömmlichen

Overview: In a fresh reading of Gulliver‘s Travels and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Atkins draws parallels between the protagonists: both Lemuel Gulliver and Stephen Dedalus flee from the burdens of life, seeking a transcendent existence. The study sheds important new light on both novels as essential critiques of modern misunderstandings.978-1-137-39982-3
