Overview: Seit Ende der 80er Jahre befassen sich verschiedene Städte mit Stadtmarketing, das den Bereichen Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, Stadtentwicklung, Wirtschaftsförderung und Standortwerbung neue Impulse geben sollte. Marketingkonzepte wurden dabei mit Modifikationen von der Betriebswirtschaft auf die kommunale Ebene übertragen. Hinter den ursprünglichen Konzeptionen standen Schlagworte wie ‘Unternehmen Stadt‘ oder ‘Dienstleistungsorientierung‘. Heute wird unter dem Begriff eher ein umfassendes Konzept verstanden, das weniger die Werbung für die Stadt in den Mittelpunkt rückt, als vielmehr versu

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .This volume mainly deals with the dynamics of finitely valued sequences, and more specifically, of sequences generated by substitutions and automata. Those sequences demonstrate fairly simple combinatorical and arithmetical properties and naturally appear in various domains. As the title suggests, the aim of the initial version of this book was the spectral study of the associated dynamical systems: the first chapters consisted in a detailed introduction to the mathematical notions involved, and the description of the spectral invariants followed in

Overview: The importance of safety in any scientific endeavor is never in question. However, when cryogenic temperatures are involved, safety is especially important. In addition to observing the normal precautions, one must also take into account the variations of physical properties that occur at low temperatures. At these tempera­ tures, some properties not only exhibit large differences from their normal values but also can vary widely over a small temperature range. Before any cryogenic project is started, a thorough knowledge of the possible hazards is necessary. Only in this way can the

Overview: Tchebycheff (or Haar) and weak Tchebycheff spaces play a central role when considering problems of best approximation from finite dimensional spaces. The aim of this book is to introduce Haar-like spaces, which are Haar and weak Tchebycheff spaces under special conditions. It studies topics of subclasses of Haar-like spaces, that is, classes of Tchebycheff or weak Tchebycheff spaces, spaces of vector-valued monotone increasing or convex functions and spaces of step functions. The notion of Haar-like spaces provides a general point of view which includes the theories of approximation
