Overview: oW should coded communication be approached? Is it about prob­ H ability theorems and bounds, or about algorithms and structures? The traditional course in information theory and coding teaches these together in one course in which the Shannon theory, a probabilistic the­ ory of information, dominates. The theory‘s predictions and bounds to performance are valuable to the coding engineer, but coding today is mostly about structures and algorithms and their size, speed and error performance. While coding has a theoretical basis, it has a practical side as well, an engineering side in

Overview: Stochastik besonders für InformatikerDie vorliegende Einführung in die Stochastik, die sich vorwiegend an Studierende der Informatik richtet, geht in ihrer Konzeption im wesentlichen von den folgenden drei Gesichtspunkten aus: 1. Die Anwendung soll im Vordergrund stehen. Der Leser soll in die Lage versetzt werden, bei konkreten Vorgängen mit Zufallseinfluss die wesentlichen Aspekte zu erkennen, ein geeignetes Modell zu finden und daraus Prognosen und gegebenenfalls Entscheidungshilfen abzuleiten. 2. Es sollen interessante und aktuelle Anwendungsbereiche einbezogen werden, die sonst i

Overview: .As the characteristic dimensions of electronic devices continue to shrink, the ability to characterize their electronic properties at the nanometer scale has come to be of outstanding importance. In this sense, Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) is becoming an indispensable tool, playing a key role in nanoscience and nanotechnology. SPM is opening new opportunities to measure semiconductor electronic properties with unprecedented spatial resolution. SPM is being successfully applied for nanoscale characterization of ferroelectric thin films. In the area of functional molecular material

Overview: Die Re-Lektüre der "Theorie des kommunikativen Handlens" und ihre Implikationen für eine Theorie der Gegenwartsgesellschaft.Aktualisierte Neuauflage.Umfassend und präzise.Die Untersuchung legt eine systematische neue Rekonstruktion der „Theorie des kommunikativen Handels“ von Jürgen Habermas vor. Sie erörtert im Kontext der klassischen Soziologie, der Soziologie der Gegenwartsgesellschaft, der Evolutionstheorie und Sprachtheorie die Probleme dieses Forschungsprogramms. Aus der Sicht der soziologischen Theorie ist dabei der Problembezug, die Folgeprobleme dieses Ansatzes zu erkennen u

Overview: Introduces a new branch of evaluation theory.Shows how the logical structure of a process/system can be included into an evaluation.Offers readers advantage over linear evaluation methods, since no we.This book introduces a new branch of evaluation theory, where evaluation and score calculation is embedded into general measure theory, as is typical in geometry, probability theory and reliability theory.  The author describes the theoretical background of new evaluation model for complex processes, where interests of involved groups are considered as multi-players of evaluation proces

Overview: An understanding of the mechanisms by which plants perceive environmental cues, both physical and chemical, and transduce the signals that influence specific expression of genes, is an area of intensive scientific research. With the completion of the genome sequence of .Arabidopsis. it is understood now that a larger number of genes encode for proteins involved in signalling cascades and transcription factors. In this volume, different chapters deal with plant receptors, second messengers like calcium ions, phosphoinositides, salicylic acid and nitrous oxide, calcium binding proteins
