This volume collects the materials underlying the International Colloquium "Conciliation in the Globalized World of Today", held on 11 and 12 June 2015 in Vienna under the auspices of the Court of Conciliation and Arbitration within the OSCE. The aim of the Colloquium was to examine the merits and possible shortcomings of this method of conflict resolution, and it concluded that the pros heavily outweigh the cons.

One of the main challenges of our time is to be able to guarantee energy supply at a reasonable price. Policy makers, international institutions and the private sector increasingly look to the oceans as a significant source of energy. The Law of the Sea provides the legal framework within which any maritime activity is performed and strikes a balance between the multiple activities that can take place simultaneously in the same maritime zone. This volume addresses some of the main legal challenges raised by the expansion of the ocean energy sector and its consequences for the relevant international normative and institutional framework. Some of the major themes explored include energy sources and the competition for marine space, energy security, private actors and corporate social responsibility, fragmentation or integration, evolution and reinforcement of international law and liability.

This reprint of the original 1959 edition presents the Coptic text of "The Gospel according to Thomas" based on a minute examination of the manuscript, together with as faithful a translation as possible.

This work exmaines non-Kolmogorov probability models. It provides mathematical theory of negative probabilities with applications to quantum physics, information theory, complexity, biology and psychology. Natural models with negative probabilities are developed in the framework of p-adic analysis.

This volume concentrates on martingale approximations. Topics covered include: basic notions; semimartingales; inequalities; laws of large numbers; the central limit theorem; convergence of semimartingales; the rate of weak convergence; and applications of martingales.

This monograph deals with random forests and aims to show that, despite the outward simplicity of the forest graph design, the problems emerging in relation to the phenomenon are challenging, and their solution often requires subtle mathematical methods.

A collection of lectures on stochastic processes, which can be used in the preparation of courses in stochastic processes for which an understanding of basic notions of mathematical analysis, theory of complex functions, theory of differential equations and probability theory is required.

This work is devoted to stochastic operators in Hilbert space. A number of models in modern probability theory apply the notion of a stochastic operator in explicit or latent form. In this book, objects from the Gaussian case are considered.

In The Dispersion, Stephane Dufoix skillfully traces how the word "diaspora", first coined in the third century BCE, has, over the past three decades, developed into a contemporary concept often considered to be ideally suited to grasping the complexities of our current world. Spanning two millennia, from the Septuagint to the emergence of Zionism, from early Christianity to the Moravians, from slavery to the defence of the Black cause, from its first scholarly uses to academic ubiquity, from the early negative connotations of the term to its contemporary apotheosis, Stephane Dufoix explores the historical socio-semantics of a word that, perhaps paradoxically, has entered the vernacular while remaining poorly understood.

This volume focuses on the synthesis of targeted polymers with specific properties using macromolecular architecture. Various controlled polymerization techniques such as ionic, metathesis and recently developed "living"/controlled polymerization and some of their combinations are covered.

The book is divided into four main sections: the first three are devoted to the observation of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, and the fourth to future missions and new technologies.

This monograph presents absorption spectra and absorptivity data in the wavelength range of 480 to 1000 nm of the major haemoglobin derivatives for human adult and foetal haemoglobin and for haemoglobin of several animals (cow, dog, horse, pig, rat, and adult and foetal sheep).

This handbook contains contributions from international experts in the field and should be of value and interest to a wide variety of professionals in the discipline of disaster medicine and management.

Biotic antioxidants possess an important potential to be a reliable basis of the development of new multipurpose drugs, within the framework of existing technological structures. This book shows approaches for possible use of these natural antioxidants.
