Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In recent years topology has firmly established itself as an important part of the physicist's mathematical arsenal. It has many applications, first of all in quantum field theory, but increasingly also in other areas of physics. The main focus of this book is on the results of quantum field theory that are obtained by topological methods. Some aspects of the theory of condensed matter are also discussed. Part I is an introduction to quantum field theory: it discusses the basic Lagrangians used in the theory of elementary particles. Part II is devoted to the applications of topology to quantum field theory. Part III covers the necessary mathematical background in summary form. The book is aimed at physicists interested in applications of topology to physics and at mathematicians wishing to familiarize themselves with quantum field theory and the mathematical methods used in this field. It is accessible to graduate students in physics and mathematics.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 288 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Convex Analysis may be considered as a refinement of standard calculus, with equalities and approximations replaced by inequalities. As such, it can easily be integrated into a graduate study curriculum. Minimization algorithms, more specifically those adapted to non-differentiable functions, provide an immediate application of convex analysis to various fields related to optimization and operations research. These two topics making up the title of the book, reflect the two origins of the authors, who belong respectively to the academic world and to that of applications. Part I can be used as an introductory textbook (as a basis for courses, or for self-study); Part II continues this at a higher technical level and is addressed more to specialists, collecting results that so far have not appeared in books.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 440 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -1m September 1991 fand erstmals in Japan eine intemationale Tagung iiber ein Thema aus dem romischen Recht statt; sie wurde von der Kyushu Universitat (Fukuoka) veranstaltet. An ihr nahmen Wissenschaftler aus Japan und aus vielen europaischen Landem, sowie aus Korea teil. Das Thema 'Mandatum und Verwandtes' bot eine Vielfalt von rechtsdogmatischen, rechtsvergleichen den und sozialgeschichtlichen Aspekten. Wie es der derzeitigen Forschungs situation entspricht, konnte es nicht darum gehen, eine systematische, wohl geordnete Darstellung der Dogmatik und Geschichte des Rechtsinstituts zu geben. Eher war, wenn nicht das Ziel, so doch das Ergebnis der Tagung die Demonstration der verschiedenen Moglichkeiten, mit einem solchen Thema umzugehen. Ohne die bereitwillige materielle und organisatorische Unterstiitzung durch viele japanische und deutsche Institutionen und Personen, ware weder die Tagung selbst, noch der Tagungsband zustandegekommen. Der Springer-Verlag erwies groBziigiges Entgegenkommen. Deutschsprachige Tagungsbesucher half en bei der sprachlichen Uberarbeitung der Manuskripte auslandischer Teilnehmer. Besonderer Dank gilt den Mitarbeitem am Leopold Wenger Institut der Universitat Miinchen. Ihre selbstlose Hilfe bei der Korrektur von Manuskripten und der Druckfahnen und bei der Herstellung des Quellenregisters trug ganz wesentlich dazu bei, daB der vorliegende Band erscheinen konnte.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 456 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book summarizes work done by the authors under theEsprit Tool Use project (1985-1990), at GMD in Karlsruhe andat Berlin University of Technology. It provides acomprehensive description of the generic developmentlanguage Deva designed by the authors. Much of the researchreported in this monograph is inspired by the work of MichelSintzoff on formal program development; he contributed anenlightening Foreword.Deva is essentially a typed functional language with certaindeduction rules. The difference with ordinary languages is,of course, the application domain: the types serve here toexpress propositions such as specifications or programs,rather than just data classes. Its practical applicabilitywas tested on several non-trivial case studies. The wholebook is written using the DVWEB system, a WEB for Deva,beeing implemented at the Berlin University of Technology. 264 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In recent years it has become apparent that an importantpart of the theory of artificial intelligence is concernedwith reasoning on the basis of uncertain, incomplete, orinconsistent information. A variety of formalisms have beendeveloped, including nonmonotonic logic, fuzzy sets,possibility theory, belief functions, and dynamic models ofreasoning such as belief revision and Bayesian networks.Several European research projects have been formed in thearea and the first European conference was held in 1991.This volume contains the papers accepted for presentation atECSQARU-93, the European Conference on SymbolicandQuantitative Approaches to Reasoning and Uncertainty, heldat the University of Granada, Spain, November 8-10, 1993. 408 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Combining field research of outcrop geology andinvestigating the recent formation of carbonate rocks incoastal environments the author gives an introduction insequence stratigraphy. Using computer simulations the bookfocuses on four questions, regarding the geometry ofcarbonate wedges, sequences comparable with geotectoniccycles, their influence by geoidal pulses and thedetermination of these geoidal pulse distribution ingeological time. Examples from the Alps and Florida showthat ramps and divergent patterns, megabreccias, drowning ofcarbonate platforms etc. are results of global short-termsea level falls, interpreted as geoidal eustasy.This volume will be a fruitful supplement for theinterpretation and understanding of sequence stratigraphicsections not only for scientists and students but also forresearchers in the oil andgas industry. 344 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Hybrid systems are networks of interacting digital andanalog devices. Control systems for inherently unstableaircraft and computer aided manufacturing are typicalapplications for hybrid systems, but due to the rapiddevelopment of processor and circuit technology modern carsand consumer electronics use software to control physicalprocesses. The identifying characteristic of hybrid systemsis that they incorporate both continuous components governedby differential equations and also digital components -digital computers, sensors, and actuators controlled byprograms.This volume of invited refereed papers is inspired by aworkshop on the Theory of Hybrid Systems, held at theTechnical University, Lyngby, Denmark, in October 1992, andby a prior Hybrid Systems Workshop, held at CornellUniversity, USA, in June 1991, organized by R.L. Grossmanand A. Nerode. Some papers are the final versions of paperspresented at these workshops and some are invited papersfrom other researchers who were not able to attend theseworkshops. 488 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The impact of man on the biosphere is profound. Quite apart from our capacity to destroy natural ecosystems and to drive species to extinction, we mould the evolution of the survivors by the selection pressures we apply to them. This has implications for the continued health of our natural biological resources and for the way in which we seek to optimise yield from those resources. Of these biological resources, fish stocks are particularly important to mankind as a source of protein. On a global basis, fish stocks provide the major source of protein for human consumption from natural ecosystems, amounting to some seventy million tonnes in 1970. Although fisheries management has been extensively developed over the last century, it has not hitherto considered the evolutionary consequences of fishing activity. While this omission may not have been serious in the past, the ever increasing intensity of exploitation and the deteriorating health of fish stocks has generated an urgent need for a better understanding of evolution driven by harvesting and the implications of this for fish stock management. The foundations for this understanding for the most part come from recent developments in evolutionary biology and are not generally available to fisheries scientists. The purpose of this book is to provide this basis in a form that is both accessible and relevant to fisheries biology. 276 pp. Englisch.

The special merit of theapproach is that it finds optimal representations of datainstead of directly recognizing patterns. 232 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume contains the papers, updated in some cases,presented at the first AISMC (Artificial Intelligence andSymbolic Mathematical Computations)conference, held inKarlsruhe, August 3-6, 1992. This was the first conferenceto be devoted to such a topic after a long period when SMCmade no appearance in AI conferences, though it used to bewelcome in the early days of AI. Some conferences were heldrecently on mathematics and AI, but none was directlycomparable in scope to this conference.Because of the novelty of the domain, authors were givenlonger allocations of time than usual in which to presenttheir work. As a result, extended and fruitful discussionsfollowed each paper. The introductory chapter in this book,which was not presented during the conference, reflects inmany ways the flavor of these discussions and aims to setout the framework for future activities in this domain ofresearch. In addition to the introduction, the volumecontains 20 papers. 324 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -by RolfM. Jeker, Federal Office for Foreign Economic Affairs Services have only quite recently become an important issue in foreign economic policy and particularly in international trade negotiations. Trade policy was traditionally perceived to deal almost exclusively with exports and imports of goods. The increasing importance of services both nationally and internationally is, mainly, due to the gains in agricultural and industrial productiv ity (freeing resources for services activities), and the progress in communication technology, facilitating trade in invisibles. Notable examples of contractual and legal frameworks for services in international trade relations are the internal market program of the European Community extended by the Agreement on the European Economic Are. a (EEA) to EFTA countries, the multi lateral Uruguay-Round negotiations under the auspices of the GATT on a General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) signed by the United States, Canada and Mexico. This trend is of particular significance to Switzerland, a country where services contribute about 65% to the value added of the economy, a share which will probably still increase somewhat. Ser vices also contribute to an important extent to the traditional surplus in the current account of the Swiss balance of payments. Switzerland clearly has comparative advantages in the field of ser vices, as is well demonstrated by its long and successful tradition in key services sectors like banking, insurance, tourism, consulting and engineering. 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Crypto'92 took place on August 16-20, 1992. It was the twelfth in the series of annual cryptology conferences held on the beautiful campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara. Once again, it was sponsored by the International Association for Cryptologic Research, in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy. The conference ran smoothly, due to the diligent efforts of the g- eral chair, Spyros Magliveras of the University of Nebraska. One of the measures of the success of this series of conferences is represented by the ever increasing number of papers submitted. This year, there were 135 submissions to the c- ference, which represents a new record. Following the practice of recent program comm- tees, the papers received anonymous review. The program committee accepted 38 papers for presentation. In addition, there were two invited presentations, one by Miles Smid on the Digital Signature Standard, and one by Mike Fellows on presenting the concepts of cryptology to elementary-age students. These proceedings contains these 40 papers plus 3 papers that were presented at the Rump Session. I would like to thank all of the authors of the submitted papers and all of the speakers who presented papers. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the work of the program committee: Ivan Damgard (Aarhus University, Denmark), Odd Goldreich (Technion, Israel), Burt Kaliski (RSA Data Security, USA), Joe Kilian (NEC, USA). 604 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The concept of aeroassisting for orbital transfer has been recognized as one of the critical technologies for pioneering the space frontier. In space transportation systems, aeroassisting (or aerobraking), defined as the deceleration resulting from the effects of atmospheric drag upon a vehicle during orbital operations, opens new mission opportunities, especially with regard to the establishment of the permanent Space Station Freedom and space explorations to other planets such as Mars. The main areas of research reported in this monograph are atmospheric entry problem by the method of matched asymptotic expansions, coplanar and non-coplanar orbital transfers with aeroassist technology, orbital plan change with aerocruise, and neighbouring optimal guidance. A special feature is the bibliography which will provide the reader with a literature status for further research. 200 pp. Englisch.
