Overview: Provides convient access to significant papers from a highly regarded author working at a time when many of the foundational building blocks of probability and statistics were being put in place.IncluIn 1945, very early in the history of the development of a rigorous analytical theory of probability, Feller (1945) wrote a paper called “The fundamental limit theorems in probability” in which he set out what he considered to be “the two most important limit theorems in the modern theory of probability: the central limit theorem and the recently discovered … ‘Kolmogoroff’s cel­ ebrated

Overview: Compiles practical technologies for coping with environmental risks in Asia and Africa.Provides solutions to maintain harmony between economic development and environmental preservation.Explains the rWe are not free from environmental risks that accompany the development of human societies. Modern economic development has accelerated environmental pollution, caused loss of natural habitats, and modified landscapes. These environmental changes have impacted natural systems: water and heat circulation, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity. These changes in natural systems degrade ecosyst

Overview: Discusses the key to solving environmental problems and moving away from fossil fuels.Examines industrialised and emerging countries efforts for creating sustainable societies.Presents a new social-scThis book proposes a holistic transdisciplinary approach to sustainability as a subject of social sciences. At the same time, this approach shows new ways, as perspectives of philosophy, political science, law, economics, sociology, cultural studies and others are here no longer regarded separately. Instead, integrated perspectives on the key issues are carved out: Perspectives on condit

Overview: Der inländische Investor muss bei Auslandsinvestionen entscheiden, ob er die aus den Investitionen resultierenden Erträge im Ausland reinvestiert oder ob die Reinvestition im Inland erfolgen soll...Sebastian Schanz untersucht die zeitliche und betragsmäßige Rückführung des im Ausland investierten Kapitals und analysiert, ob die Unterlassung der Optimierung von Kapitalrückführung zu Fehlentscheidungen hinsichtlich der Wahl der besten Handlungsalternative führt. Weiterhin wird der entstandene Vorteil quantifiziert. Der Autor zeigt, dass sich durch die Optimierung Endvermögenssteigerung

Overview: Nominated by Hokkaido University as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis.Provides a detailed description of the principle and methods for ultrasensitive detection of molecules under ambient conditions.IncludesThis thesis proposes a novel way to catch light energy using an ultrasmall nanostructure. The author has developed photon-materials systems to open the way for novel photoexcitation processes based on the findings obtained from in-situ observation of the systems in which localized surface plasmon (LSP) and molecules interact strongly. The highly ordered metal nanostructure provided the o

Overview: Introduces readers to the methods and concepts of spectroscopic measurements of gases;.Adopts a practical perspective on key concepts from the vantage of engineers and experimentalists with applicatioThis text provides an introduction to the science that governs the interaction of light and matter (in the gas phase). It provides readers with the basic knowledge to exploit the light-matter interaction to develop quantitative tools for gas analysis (i.e. optical diagnostics) and understand and interpret the results of spectroscopic measurements. The authors pair the basics of gas‐phase

Overview: .Statistical Processing Techniques for Noisy Images. presents a statistical framework to design algorithms for target detection, tracking, segmentation and classification (identification). Its main goal is to provide the reader with efficient tools for developing algorithms that solve his/her own image processing applications. In particular, such topics as hypothesis test-based detection, fast active contour segmentation and algorithm design for non-conventional imaging systems are comprehensively treated, from theoretical foundations to practical implementations. With a large number

Overview: Explores Sir Humphrey Gilbert‘s 1583 expedition to North America, a neglected area in scholarship on early modern colonization.Examines the role of cartography, natural science, and promotional literaThis book examines the 1583 voyage of Sir Humphrey Gilbert to North America. This was England‘s first attempt at colonization beyond the British Isles, yet it has not been subject to thorough scholarly analysis for more than 70 years. An exhaustive examination of the voyage reveals the complexity and preparedness of this and similar early modern colonizing expeditions. Prominent Elizabet

Overview: Schwingungsprobleme in der Technik analysieren, verstehen und beschreibenDas Vorwort zu dem vor mehr als dreißig Jahren veröffentlichten Buch „Schwingungen“, das als dritter Band der neu begründeten Reihe „Leitfäden der angewandten Mathematik und - chanik“ (LAMM-Reihe) erschienen war, begann mit der Feststellung: Es besteht im deutschsprachigen Schrifttum kein Mangel an guten, ja ausgezeichneten Werken zur Schwingungslehre. Warum also soll das Bücherangebot auf diesem Gebiet noch vermehrt werden? Diese naheliegende Frage sei mit dem Hinweis beantwortet, dass für die vorliegende Zusam

Overview: A NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Molecular Mechanisms of Transcellular Signaling: from the Membrane to the Gene" was held on the Island of Spetsai, Greece, from August 15- 27, 1994. The aim of this Institute was to bring together researchers in the field of signal transduction mechanisms, transcription factors and gene regulation with those actively involved in studies on the implications of oxygen radicals and antioxidant defence mechanisms for cell function. As diverse as these fields may be, the emergence of their interconnection during the course of the Institute was an eye-op

Overview: Applications to many areas of science and technology.Gives a broad and up-to-date coverage of exact results, approximations and boundsIn many statistical applications the scientists have to analyze the occurrence of observed clusters of events in time or space. The scientists are especially interested to determine whether an observed cluster of events has occurred by chance if it is assumed that the events are distributed independently and uniformly over time or space. Applications of scan statistics have been recorded in many areas of science and technology including: geology, geogr
