Overview: Die vorliegende Dissertation präsentiert ein Konzept zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz im Karosseriebau um durchschnittlich 10-15%. Die dafür benötigte Energietransparenz wird durch die strukturierte energetische  Analyse bestehender Karosseriebauanlagen erreicht. Weiterhin besteht bereits im Karosseriebauplanungsprozess die Möglichkeit einer Energieprognose der zu planenden Arbeitsgruppen als auch des energetischen Lastprofils. In Abhängigkeit der energetischen Bewertung werden mit Hilfe eines Expertensystems entsprechend zu ergreifende Maßnahmen dem Planer zur Verfügung gestellt.

Overview: The first volume is clearly a textbook, the second one contains more advanced material as well..Both volumes are sufficiently self-contained although related, of course..Includes supplementary materiaMost of the interesting and difficult problems in statistical mechanics arise when the constituent particles of the system interact with each other with pair or multipartiele energies. The types of behaviour which occur in systems because of these interactions are referred to as cooperative phenomena giving rise in many cases to phase transitions. This book and its companion volume (Lavi

Overview: Argues for an interpretation of Z that runs against the current of most contemporary scholarship.Offers a brief indication of the problems that arise in trying to understand Z and what can be done to .This book argues that according to .Metaphysics .Zeta, substantial forms constitute substantial being in the sensible world, and individual composites make up the basic constituents that possess this kind of being.

Overview: Soil degradation is clearly one of the most pressing problems facing man­ kind. A continuation of soil degradation will eventually lead to a loss in crop productivity even though fertilizers and other inputs often result in increased yields in the short term. Soil degradation also leads to environ­ mental pollution. A decrease in soil quality invariably leads to a decrease in water quality, and often in air quality. While there is a clear consensus that soil degradation is a major problem, the literature on this subject leaves numerous baffling questions. If statis­ tics on land degr
