Overview: This is a textbook on stochastic quantization which was originally proposed by G. Parisi and Y. S. Wu in 1981 and then developed by many workers. I assume that the reader has finished a standard course in quantum field theory. The Parisi-Wu stochastic quantization method gives quantum mechanics as the thermal-equilibrium limit of a hypothetical stochastic process with respect to some fictitious time other than ordinary time. We can consider this to be a third method of quantization; remarkably different from the conventional theories, i. e, the canonical and path-integral ones. Over

Overview: Das derzeit einzige umfassende deutsche Buch zum Thema Security AwarenessSecurity Awareness – was ist das eigentlich und brauche ich das überhaupt? Von der OLDSCHOOL in die NEXT GENERATION: Welche Methode ist erfolgversprechend? Welche Rolle spielen Unternehmens- und Sicherheitskultur? Wie hilft das Wissen um weiche Faktoren wie z.B. Didaktik oder Tiefenpsychologie? Warum ist die eine Kampagne ein Erfolg, eine andere womöglich ein Flop? Was kann man aus erfolgreichen und eher weniger erfolgreichen Awareness-Maßnahmen lernen?.Erstmals bietet ein deutschsprachiges Buch einen ganzheitli

Overview: This book has its origin in a letter. In November of 1959, the late Prof. Dr. WERNER MEYER-EpPLER wrote to me, asking if I would contribute to a series he was planning on Communication. His book " Grundlagen und Anwendungen der Informationstheorie" was to serve as the initial volume of the series. After protracted consideration, I agreed to undertake the job provided it could be done outside my regular duties at the Bell Telephone Laboratories. Shortly afterwards, I received additional responsibilities in my research organization, and felt that I could not conveniently pursue the man

Overview: Identität, Aufbau und ErklärungDie gegenwärtige Soziologie ist durch die Zersplitterung in eine Vielfalt von "Ansätzen" gekennzeichnet. Im vorliegenden Buch wird nachgewiesen, dass all diesen Ansätzen ein einheitlicher Gegenstandsbereich zugrunde liegt: Die einzelnen Richtungen der Soziologie können gar nicht anders als soziale Phänomene zu analysieren. Es wird gezeigt, dass diese trotz der Vielfalt ihrer Erscheinungsformen in einer nachvollziehbaren Weise identifiziert werden können. Die übergreifenden Kriterien ihrer Identität, die Prinzipien ihres Aufbaus und die sich daraus ergeb
