Overview: Grateful acknowledgement is made to CICYT (Comision Intenninisterial de Ciencia y Tecnoiogia), National Plan R+D, Projects N-TXT96-2467 and N­ TXT98-1453 for its financial support. This text presents the economic theories on Utility and Production. In addition, such theories are used to explain the real problems of consumers and firms and several studies carried out by the author are displayed. Some collaboration by other professors of Economics is mentioned in the corresponding footnotes. The responsibility for errors and omissions, however, rests entirely upon tbe author. In chapte

Overview: Die Neue Institutionenökonomik ist auf dem Weg, die neoklassische Theorie in vielen Bereichen der Nationalökonomie als herrschende Lehre abzulösen. Bisher wurde die Umweltökonomie von dieser Entwicklung jedoch kaum berührt. Sie ist immer noch tief in der Welt der Neoklassik verwurzelt. Michael Häder analysiert Auflagen, Abgaben und Zertifikate aus der Sicht ausgewählter Bereiche der Neuen Institutionenökonomik. Im Mittelpunkt einer transaktionskostentheoretischen Betrachtung steht die Eigenschaft der Instrumente, spezifische Investitionen von Staat und Emittenten gegen opportunistisc

Overview: Since the first international conference on urban air quality, held at the University ofHertfordshire in 1996, significant advances have taken place in the field of urban air pollution. In addition to the scientific advances in the measurement, modelling and management of urban air quality, significant progress has been achieved in relation to the establishment of major frameworks to ensure a more effective mechanism for international collaboration. Two such frameworks are SATURN (Studying Atmospheric Pollution in Urban Areas) and TRAPOS (Optimisation of Modelling Methods for Traffic

Overview: A new research direction of fuzzy set theory in data mining.One of the first monographs of studying the transparency of data mining models.Contains more than 60 figures and illustrations in order to e.Machine learning and data mining are inseparably connected with uncertainty. The observable data for learning is usually imprecise, incomplete or noisy. .Uncertainty Modeling for Data Mining: A Label Semantics Approach. introduces ‘label semantics‘, a fuzzy-logic-based theory for modeling uncertainty. Several new data mining algorithms based on label semantics are proposed and tested on

Overview: Among social scientists consensus exists on urbanization as an indispensable aspect of social modernization. During the last century, the process of industrialization was accompanied by a huge wave of migration from rural to urban areas. The formation of big cities, in tum, made up the base for an increase of mass education as well as the spread of mass media. The changes induced by urbanization did not only have a strong impact on the structure of the society, but also did deeply change the way of social life. By the end of the 21st century, again, a close link seems to exist betwee

Overview: Underwater acoustic digital signal processing and communications is an area of applied research that has witnessed major advances over the past decade. Rapid developments in this area were made possible by the use of powerful digital signal processors (DSPs) whose speed, computational power and portability allowed efficient implementation of complex signal processing algorithms and experimental demonstration of their performance in a variety of underwater environments. The early results served as a motivation for the development of new and improved signal processing methods for under
