Overview: Anthropological approaches to the sciences have developed as part of a broader tradition concerned about the place of the sciences in today‘s world and in some basic sense concerned with questions about the legitimacy of the sciences. In the years since the second World War, we have seen the emergence of a number of different attempts both to analyze and to cope with the successes of the sciences, their broad penetration into social life, and the sense of problem and crisis that they have projected. Among the of movements concerned about the earlier responses were the development soc

Overview: The importance of irrigation in the world‘s agriculture is rapidly increasing. Although it is practised on a large scale mainly in arid and semi-arid zones, supplementary irrigation is becoming popular in semi-humid regions as well. The record of irrigation speaks for itself in terms of increased crop production. However, the question remains as to how permanent the achievement may be. Judging from history, it seems that irrigation eventually failed in many regions because the knowledge and technology available to society at the time were incapable of coping with the problems created

Overview: This book is devoted to investment decision-making under uncertainty. The book covers three basic approaches to this process: a) The stochastic dominance approach, developed on the foundation of von­ Neumann and Morgenstern‘ expected utility paradigm. 2 b) The mean-variance approach developed by Markowitz on the foundation of von-Neumann and Morgenstem‘s expected utility or simply on the assumption of a utility function based on mean and variance. c) The non-expected utility approach, focusing on prospect theory and its modi­ fied version, cumulative prospect theory. This theory is b

Overview: Das Buch behandelt die mathematische Theorie samt Anwendungen von linearen Eigenschwingungen, erzwungenen und parametererregten Schwingungen mechanischer und nichtmechanischer Systeme. Die untersuchten Systeme haben entweder endlich viele Freiheitsgrade oder die Form kontinuierlicher Saiten und Stäbe oder sie sind Kopplungen dieser beiden Systemtypen. .Das Buch zeichnet sich durch eine didaktisch geschickte Darstellung des Stoffen aus, die Bezüge zwischen den Themen verschiedener Kapitel deutlich macht und komplizierte Probleme auf elementare Probleme des ersten Kapitels zurückführt.
