The development of powerful computer algebra systems has considerably ex tended the scope of problems of scientific computing which can now be solved successfully with the aid of computers.

Cognition refers to the process of how men perceive and process information, whereas rationality refers to how these processes are modelled. This book explores what institutional economics can learn from cognitive psychology regarding the proper modelling of rationality in order to explain institutional change.

Inselbergs are isolated rock outcrops that stand out abruptly from surrounding plains. Despite the widespread occurrence of granite inselbergs throughout all climatic and vegetational zones, their remarkably rich plant life was largely neglected in the recent literature.

The inclusion of forests as potential biological sinks in the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1997 has attracted international attention and again has put scientific and political focus on the world's forests, regarding their state and development.

- Moderne Diagnostik per Ultraschall, CT und MRT- Behandlungsverfahren, interventionelle Techniken wie Kryotherapie, Radiofrequenztherapie und laserinduzierte Thermotherapie (LITT)

This book is devoted to some recently developed techniques in quantum field theory (QFT), as well as to their main applications to different areas of parti cle physics.

In der gynakologischen Praxis sind taglich ethische Problemstellungen zu bewaltigen. Der Leitfaden bietet einen leichten Einstieg in die vielschichtige Thematik. Fragen unserer Vorstellung von Mensch, Fortpflanzung und Geburt sind ebenso Thema wie die moralischen Herausforderungen durch moderne Technologien.

Die Monographie stellt eine prinzipielle Verallgemeinerung der herkömmlichen Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie vor. Diese erlaubt die Anwendung des Begriffs der Wahrscheinlichkeit auch in jenen Fällen, in denen die vorliegende Information nicht ausreicht, um jedes relevante Ereignis durch eine einzelne Zahl zu charakterisieren. Der mathematisch exakte Umgang mit Wahrscheinlichkeitsbewertungen erfordert eine systematische Erweiterung des Kanons der Begriffe und Methoden. Die Grundlagen hierfür werden im vorliegenden Band gelegt. Die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Intervallwahrscheinlichkeit sind beträchtlich umfassender als die des herkömmlichen Wahrscheinlichkeitsbegriffs, z.B. in den Bereichen Medizin, Technik, Versicherungswesen und künstliche Intelligenz.
