Overview: Should scientific congresses take place in connection with Olympic Games, and should science be represented not only in the form of applied science engaged in the care of athletes, but also as an informing, reflecting and critical authority? The Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXth Olympiad answered this question in the affirmative, and the results have justified this decision. The invitation sent out by the Organizing Committee was accepted by numerous eminent scholars and many participants from all over the world; it was their merit that the general topic of the congress

Overview: The basic structure of the book is similar to the textbook "Ibach/Lüth"..Surfaces and Interfaces of Solid Materials. emphasises both experimental and theoretical aspects of surface and interface physics. Beside the techniques of preparing well-defined solid surfaces and interfaces basic models for the description of structural, vibronic and electronic properties of interfaces are described, as well as fundamental aspects of adsorption and layer growth. Because of its importance for modern microelectronics special emphasis is placed on the electronic properties of semiconductor interf

Overview: New, expanded and revised edition of Sobolev Spaces, originally published in the Springer Series in Soviet Mathematics (1985) Is enhanced by many recent results New applications to linear and nonlineaSobolev spaces play an outstanding role in modern analysis, in particular, in the theory of partial differential equations and its applications in mathematical physics. They form an indispensable tool in approximation theory, spectral theory, differential geometry etc. The theory of these spaces is of interest in itself being a beautiful domain of mathematics. The present volume includes

Overview: Team- und Gruppensupervision, wie von Rappe-Giesecke beschrieben, findet nicht nur in psychotherapeutischem Kontext, sondern ebenso im Rahmen von Organisationsberatungen oder Balint-Gruppen Anwendung. Das macht den besonderen Wert dieses Buchs aus. Wie sieht wissenschaftlich fundierte und methodisch kontrollierte Gruppen- und Teamsupervision aus? Wie analysiert man institutionelle Prozesse oder wie lassen sich in Organisationen ablaufende Prozesse verstehen und produktiv nutzen? Die Autorin liefert ein klares durchstrukturiertes Konzept, das - jenseits allen eklektizistischen "Method

Overview: Leitfaden für bessere IT-Standards.Users and standardisation - revising a myth‘2. 1 Standards and Standardisation in IT -A General Overview The process of standardisation cannot be regarded as a simple, one­ dimensional activity required to lay down technical rules and guidelines, taking place in a removed world of its own. Rather, it must be considered in conjunction with the environment within which it takes place. Very different facets need to be taken into account when trying to actually understand this process. Even if we disregard social, moral and religious rules for the momen

Overview: This book is the final outcome of two projects. My first project was to publish a set of texts written by Schrodinger at the beginning of the 1950‘s for his seminars and lectures at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. These almost completely forgotten texts contained important insights into the interpretation of quantum mechanics, and they provided several ideas which were missing or elusively expressed in SchrOdinger‘s published papers and books of the same period. However, they were likely to be misinterpreted out of their context. The problem was that current scholarship co

Overview: This volume is a collection of the lectures and discussions at an international colloquium organized by Unesco on the theme of Science and Synthesis to mark the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the death of both Einstein and Teilhard de Chardin, also the 50th anniversary of the theory of general relativity. Despite the great gulf which lies between the work of Einstein and Teilhard de Chardin, the coincidence in the dates provided an opportunity to examine the urge towards a synthesis of the scientific and philosophical approaches which lies at the very heart of the work of these
