Overview: *-algebras of unbounded operators in Hilbert space, or more generally algebraic systems of unbounded operators, occur in a natural way in unitary representation theory of Lie groups and in the Wightman formulation of quantum field theory. In representation theory they appear as the images of the associated representations of the Lie algebras or of the enveloping algebras on the Garding domain and in quantum field theory they occur as the vector space of field operators or the *-algebra generated by them. Some of the basic tools for the general theory were first introduced and used in

Overview: A well-illustrated, practical guide to rethinking the design of urban streets.Draws upon the extensive expertise of the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) which has been ins.The NACTO .Urban Street Design Guide. shows how streets of every size can be reimagined and reoriented to prioritize safe driving and transit, biking, walking, and public activity. Unlike older, more conservative engineering manuals, this design guide emphasizes the core principle that urban streets are public places and have a larger role to play in communities than solely being condui

Overview: Die Autoren zeigen die Perspektiven einer deutschen Strategie in den Bereichen Technikfolgenforschung und Systemanalyse aufNeben grundsätzlichen Aussagen zur Technikfolgenabschätzung und Systemanalyse stellen die Autoren Ergebnisse aus der Forschung über Konzeptionen zur Nachhaltigkeit vor. Weitere Beiträge befassen sich mit der Risikobewertung und -kommunikation, der Technikfolgenabschätzung in verschiedenen Technikfeldern und widmen sich den Themen Mobilität und Stoffströme. Die Autoren setzen die jeweiligen Aktivitäten in den unterschiedlichen Forschungsfeldern in einen Kontext zu

Overview: Besteht ein Zusammenhang zwischen Umweltzerstörung, Ressourcenknappheit und gewaltsamen Konflikten? Globale Umweltveränderungen, wie der Klimawandel und der Anstieg des Meeresspiegels, Verknappung des Süßwassers und fortschreitende Bodendegradation lassen zunehmend die außen- und sicherheitspolitische Dimension der Umweltpolitik erkennen. Es sind vor allem schleichende und nur langfristig umkehrbare Entwicklungen, die ein entschiedenes politisches und gesellschaftliches Handeln erfordern..Dieser Band vereint Beiträge namhafter deutschsprachiger Experten verschiedener wissenschaftlich

Overview: Teaches the basic nature of optical and microwave, active and passive, remote sensing (RS) data in a compact unified frame Explains the quantitative information contained in the various types of RS obThis volume addresses the physical foundation of remote sensing. The basic grounds are presented in close association with the kinds of environmental targets to monitor and with the observing techniques. The book aims at plugging the quite large gap between the thorough and quantitative description of electromagnetic waves interacting with the Earth‘s environment and the user application

Overview: Provides a comprehensive treatment of motivation in higher education by examining motivation for enrolment, motivation to study and how to motivate through teaching and learning.Describes a multi-faceThis book is based upon three interrelated open naturalistic studies conducted to better characterise the motivational orientation of students in higher education.

Overview: Ten years ago, Stanley L. Shapiro edited the book entitled Ultrashort Light Pulses (Topics Appl. Phys., Vol. 18), which was written by eight experts in the field. Six years later, Charles V. Shank added a bibliography (1980-1983) in the second edition with approximately one thousand new references. During the past decade the field has grown so rapidly that a completely new book had to be written. In particular, the reduction of the time scale of light pulses into the femtosecond range has opened up new experimental possibilities never even foreseen in the preceding literature. The va

Overview: In a world still divided into sovereign states and possessed of no institutions for comprehensive centralised regulation of transnational interests and activities, treaties are steadily increasing in number and importance as an imperfect but indispensable substitute for such regulation. Through multilateral conventions, the world community seeks to establish widely accepted standards of state conduct in the general interest; and many international agreements are concluded for the purpose of regulating the relations between two or more states by creating contractual bonds of reciproca

Overview: Addresses the evolving crisis in agriculture and the need for agricultural reform.Provides a sketch of the ‘community economy‘.Is the manifesto of Urban AgricultureThis book addresses the evolving crisis in agriculture and sketches the ‘community economy‘ that grounds agricultural enterprise more accurately than the industrial model. In its current practice, agriculture is (in the United States but increasingly in the rest of the world) unsustainable and destructive. The most immediately unsustainable feature of industrial agriculture is its dependence on the products of petroleum—as

Overview: When in the early 60s echography was introduced into the field of ophthalmol­ ogy, very few ophthalmologists realized the enormous potential of this procedure, the fundamental impact it would have on our branch of medicine or the innovations it would spawn. From its hesitant beginnings, echography has led to revolution in the field of ophthalmology and to our way of examining, treating and monitoring patients affected by eye disorders. This technique has brought untold benefits to patients worldwide. A crucial element in fostering the advance of the application of ultrasound in ophth
