This encyclopedia is devoted to the remarkable phenomenon of the possibility of the Aral Sea's imminent disappearance from the Earth. The book addresses the key environmental issues and is the first volume in the Springer Series on encyclopedias of the seas.

has been in the of a Symmetry major ingredient development quantum perturba tion and it is a basic of the of theory, ingredient theory integrable (Hamiltonian and of the the use in context of non Hamiltonian) systems;

The publication of W. Pauli's Scientific Correspondence by Springer-Verlag has motivated a vast research activity on Pauli's role in modern science. This excellent treatise sheds light on the ongoing dialogue between physics and psychology.

This work aims to demonstrate how prototyping can be used in evolutionary system development. The first part of the book examines how prototyping can help construct and evaluate models; the second part assesses the extent to which technical support of evolutionary system development is possible.

Advanced composite materials or high performance polymer composites are an unusual class of materials that possess a combination of high strength and modulus and are substantially superior to structural metals and alloys on an equal weight basis.

Program analysis utilizes static techniques for computing reliable information about the dynamic behavior of programs. This book is unique in providing an overview of the four major approaches to program analysis: data flow analysis, constraint-based analysis, abstract interpretation, and type and effect systems.

Sheaf Theory is modern, active field of mathematics at the intersection of algebraic topology, algebraic geometry and partial differential equations.

This book presents a physicists view of life. The primary life functions of animals, such as eating, growing, reproducing and getting around all depend on motion: Motion of materials through the body, motion of limbs and motion of the entire body through water, air and on land.

What is particularly pleasant is the fact that the authors are quite successful in giving to the reader the feeling behind the demonstrations which are sketched. This really enhances the value of this book and puts it at the level of a particularly interesting reference tool.

Ever since its invention in 1929 the Dirac equation has played a fundamental role in various areas of modern physics and mathematics. Since the appearance of these standard texts many books (both physical and mathematical) on the non relativistic Schrodinger equation have been published, but only very few on the Dirac equation.

There are also new theoretical challenges where a "structural macro model" and a Schumpetrian model of innovation and full employment are presented as new approaches. Besides theoretical challenges the increasing global dynamics raise new problems of international policy coordination which could lead to unsustainable economic globalization.

Basic models and concepts of machine dynamics and motion control are presented in the order of the principal steps of machine design. The machine is treated as a coupled dynamical system, including drive, mechanisms and controller, to reveal its behavior at different regimes through the interaction of its units under dynamic and processing loads.

Deregulation, privatization and internationalization of the telecommunications industry has brought about enormous changes within both the European and world economy. The changing patterns of innovation in the digital economy have forced governments to consider new strategies to promote innovation, network effects and growth.

Total Quality Management (TQM) is a journey towards improvement, guiding you through a continuous reassessment of yourself, your work and your organization.

The results of the theories are compared with observations and the success or inadequacies of the theories are highlighted. Topics of particular interest are: theory of the wind-driven circulation, the thermocline, the equatorial circulation and the abyssal circulation.

Going well beyond qualitative analogies between complex systems in fields as diverse as physics, chemistry, biology, sociology and economics, Synergetics uses tools from theoretical physics and mathematics to construct an unifying framework within which quantitative descriptions of complex, self-organizing systems can be made.

Offers a starting point for understanding the organization of an enterprise and subsequently for analyzing, (re)designing, and (re)engineering it. This book covers various issues in an integrated way including: business processes, information systems, and management control. It is intended for researchers and students in enterprise engineering.

Reflecting the trend to optimization through integrative approaches for engine, driveline and vehicle control, this book enables control engineers to understand engine and vehicle models necessary for controller design and also introduces mechanical engineers to vehicle-specific signal processing and automatic control.

This book explains how Interest-rate models work and shows how to implement them for concrete pricing. The revised 2nd edition of this book incorporates considerable new material, including sections on local-volatility dynamics, and on stochastic volatility models.

This handbook is directed toward the professional user and contains practical techniques for interpreting geological structures. New models and techniques contain maps allowing the user to produce more accurate geological maps and cross sections.

This fully revised third edition introduces geostatistics by emphasising the multivariate aspects for scientists, engineers and statisticians. The text contains a brief review of statistical concepts, a detailed introduction to linear geostatistics, and an account of 3 basic methods of multivariate analysis.

An evolving agenda of Information Technology Auditing is subject of this book. Among the topics are complex integrated information systems, enterprise resource planning, databases, complexities of internal controls, and enterprise application integration - all seen from an auditor's perspective.

In the age of Archimedes and Euclid, science as we know it was born, and gave rise to sophisticated technology that would not be seen again until 18th century. What were the landmarks in the meteoric rise of science 2300 years ago? Why are they so little known even among scientists, classicists and historians? This title discusses these questions.

This book extends classic wireless transceiver design techniques to MIMO transceivers. Covers MIMO single carrier and OFDM modulation, RF and MIMO transceiver design, MIMO transmitter design and much more. Includes many design equations and illustrations.

The primary goal of this book is unifying and making more widely accessible the vibrant stream of research - spanning more than two decades - on the theory of semi-feasible algorithms. In doing so it demonstrates the richness inherent in central notions of complexity: running time, nonuniform complexity, lowness, and NP-hardness.

Inter-organizational Cooperation with SAP Solutions - now in its second edition -describes the potential for cooperation in supply chain networks as well as the use of mySAP solutions in an inter-organizational context.

Bifurcation theory and catastrophe theory are two well-known areas within the field of dynamical systems. Catastrophe theory is accurately described as singularity theory and its (genuine) applications.

Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) is a powerful technique for surface analysis with atomic resolution. The book appeals to researchers, advanced students and analysts in industrial laboratories.
