[Gabriel and Roiter] are pioneers in this subject and they have included proofs for statements which in their opinions are elementary, those which will help further understanding and those which are scarcely available elsewhere. They attempt to take us up to the point where we can find our way in the original literature.

These techniques have stimulated further development of the optical imaging theory, including 3-dimensional microscopy imaging theory, the theory of imaging with ultrashort pulsed beam illumination and the aberration theory for high numerical-aperture objectives.

This is the soft cover reprint of the very popular hardcover edition. The book offers a simultaneous presentation of the theory and of the numerical treatment of elliptic problems.

Model checking is a powerful approach for the formal verification of software. The first part describes in simple terms the theoretical basis of model checking: transition systems as a formal model of systems, temporal logic as a formal language for behavioral properties, and model-checking algorithms.

From the reviews:"...useful for experts in mathematical physics...this is a very interesting book, which deserves to be found in any physical library." (OPTICS & PHOTONICS NEWS, July/August 2005).

This monograph presents time-dependant methods for studying problems of scattering theory in classical and quantum mechanics. Particular attention is paid to long-range potentials and the text explains the analogy between classical and quantum scattering theory.

Successful business ideas are not so much about talent as about a systematic approach. The book presents new, applicable entrepreneurship methods for developing creative market insight, for identifying windows of opportunity, creating business concepts and entrepreneurial strategies for successful market entry.

Growing energy demand and environmental consciousness have re-evoked human interest in wind energy. The Wind Energy Resource Analysis (WERA) software, provided with the book, is an effective tool for wind energy practitioners for - sessing the energy potential and simulating turbine performance at prospective sites.

"Deals with pricing and hedging financial derivatives.... Computational methods are introduced and the text contains the Excel VBA routines corresponding to the formulas and procedures described in the book.

"Sinkholes and Subsidence" provides a twenty-first century account of how the various subsidence features in carbonate and evaporite rocks cause problems in development and construction in our living environment.

Provides an orientation in the field of astroparticle physics that many beginners might seek and appreciate because the underlying physics fundamentals are presented with little mathematics, and the results are illustrated by many diagrams.

The motivation for the mathematical modeling studied in this text on developments in credit risk research is the bridging of the gap between mathematical theory of credit risk and the financial practice. Mathematical developments are covered thoroughly and give the structural and reduced-form approaches to credit risk modeling.

Martin Green, one of the world's foremost photovoltaic researchers, argues in this book that "second generation" photovoltaics will eventually reach its own material cost constraints, engendering a "third generation" of high performance thin-films.

This book, based on the first public course on the openHPI e-learning platform, reviews radical differences and advantages to traditional row-oriented disk-based databases for OLAP and OLTP that result in the spectacular performance of in-memory technology.

This book presents core concepts and algorithms of distributed computing, covering distributed graph algorithms; logical time and global states; mutual exclusion and resource allocation; high-level communication abstractions;distributed shared memory and more.

This book presents a holistic approach for purchasing performance measurement and the incentive systems associated with it. Includes ten steps for sustained performance measurement in purchasing.

This book sets out fundamental principles of the probability theory, supplemented by theoretical models of random variables, evaluation of experimental data, sampling theory, distribution updating and tests of statistical hypotheses.

Here is the first of a two-volume work offering an introduction to algebraic geometry. It makes the topic accessible to non-specialists and beginners and is suitable for undergraduates in mathematics as well as students of theoretical physics.

This book represents a new foundation for the study of microeconomics, viewed from a broad perspective that takes into account new developments at the intersections with psychology, political science, the natural sciences and philosophy.

This book surveys topological methods in signal processing which address uncertainty in deterministic fashion. The author offers an efficient treatment of cellular sheaves, showing how their use is decisive in treating difficult problems in signal processing.

This book presents an integrative approach to the strategic management of manufacturing networks, and goes on to discuss the derivation of an optimal global footprint and the optimization of network coordination activities. Includes up-to-date case examples.

This monograph is the first to present the recently discovered renormalization techniques for the Schroedinger and Dirac equations, providing a mathematically rigorous, yet simple and clear introduction to the subject.

In January 2005, the German government enacted a substantial reform of the welfare system, the so-called "Hartz IV reform". It investigates whether a centralized or decentralized organization of welfare administration is more successful to integrate welfare recipients into employment.

Detailing novel, cutting-edge methods of evaluating brittle fracture and fatigue, this book includes enhancements to the Neuber concept of fictitious notch rounding and new applications of the DJ-integral approach to assessing cyclic plasticity crack growth.

It has often been claimed that without drastic conceptual innovations a genuine explanation of quantum interference effects and quantum randomness is impossible.

This book examines the content and influence of selected books published over the last fifty years that have influenced improvements in animal welfare. Offers the necessary basis for an informed and comprehensive approach to improving the welfare of animals.

An introduction to the meteorological boundary conditions for power generation from onshore and offshore wind, this book reviews the derivation of wind laws and wind profile descriptions, and discusses the efficiency of large wind parks and their wakes.
