Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Among the group of physics honors students huddled in 1957 on a Colorado mountain watching Sputnik bisect the heavens, one young scientist was destined, three short years later, to become a key player in Americäs own top-secret spy satellite program. One of our eräs most prolific mathematicians, Karl Gustafson was given just two weeks to write the first US spy satellite¿s software. The project would fundamentally alter Americäs Cold War strategy, and this autobiographical account of a remarkable academic life spent in the top flight tells this fascinating inside story for the first time. Gustafson takes you from his early pioneering work in computing, through fascinating encounters with Nobel laureates and Fields medalists, to his current observations on mathematics, science and life. He tells of brushes with death, being struck by lightning, and the beautiful women who have been a part of his journey.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 192 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Wieviele Schritte muss ein Mensch gehen und wie gefährlich sind seine Wege, wieviel Leid erträgt ein Mensch und woher nimmt er die Kraft, um die einzige Bahn zu beschreiten, die für ihn wichtig ist: die zur Freiheit ohne Verlust seiner Rechtschaffenheit Egon Balas erzählt in dieser ungemein fesselnd geschriebenen Autobiographie von den Wegen, die ihn aus Transsilvanien nach Pennsylvania führten, auf denen der 1922 in Klausenburg (Kolozsvár ¿ ung., Cluj ¿ rum.) geborene Sohn einer ungarisch-jüdischen Familie zum berühmten Mathematiker wurde, der seit 1966 in den USA lebt. Die Leser des Buches werden auf eine erstaunliche Lebensreise mitgenommen, sie erfahren von großem Mut und grenzenlosem Optimismus.Balas erlebte als Heranwachsender den Zusammenbruch der alten, vermeintlich sicheren Ordnung, schloss sich 1942 der Kommunistischen Partei Ungarns an, kämpfte im Untergrund gegen den Faschismus, wurde eingesperrt, gefoltert und konnte schließlich in den Kriegswirren fliehen. Mit seiner Geschichte gibt der Autor auch einen Einblick in die Tragödie der Siebenbürger Juden, deren Mehrzahl in den Jahren 1942-1944 ermordet wurde. Von den dreißig Mitgliedern der Balas-Familie überlebten nur sieben. Egon Balas¿ spätere Frau Edith gehörte zu den wenigen, die aus Auschwitz zurückkehrten.Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg hatte Balas infolge seines Widerstandes wichtige Funktionen im kommunistischen Rumänien inne. Er geriet zunehmend in Widerspruch zum stalinistischen Regime, saß als politischer Häftling mehr als zwei Jahre in Einzelhaft bei der rumänischen Staatssicherheit Securitate und kam erst nach Stalins Tod wieder frei.Wir erfahren in diesem spannenden Buch von den vielen überraschenden und unerwarteten Wendungen, die das ständige Auf und Ab eines aufregenden Lebens begleiten. Das Buch ist ein Tatsachenbericht, der sich wie ein Roman liest. Dabei wird der Leser auch in skurrile, in groteske Situationen einbezogen, die¿ nach beklemmenden Schilderungen ¿ befreiend wirken.Springer Spektrum in Springer Science + Business Media, Tiergartenstr. 15-17, 69121 Heidelberg 436 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The drive to realise operational efficiencies, improve customer service, develop new markets and accelerate the introduction of new products has substantially increased the complexity of field service operations. To maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of these operations, organisations have embarked on a wide range of transformation programmes that have sought to introduce automation through the use of workforce management technologies. Despite the potential business value that can be provided by such transformation programmes, too often, the automation technologies have not been fully utilised and their expected benefits have as such not been realised.Scholars of organisation change argue that the success of any transformation programme is a function of how well the technical, political, structural and social aspects of a specific project have been managed. The objective of this edited book is to provide insights into how organisations might successfully transform their field service operations with the help of workforce management technologies. Accordingly, the book is organised into four sections: Section A ¿The Case for Transforming Service and Field Operations¿ explains the rationale as to why organisations should actively consider transforming their service and field operations, while Section B presents various ¿Methods, Models and Enabling Technologies for Transforming Service and Field Operations¿. In Section C, a number of ¿Case Studies¿ illustrate how new technologies can be applied to field and service operations to deliver concrete business benefits. Lastly, Section D considers ¿Challenges, Outcomes and Future Directions¿.Overall, this book provides valuable insights into how to successfully transform field service operations with automated technologies. It draws on years of experience from different industries and from different perspectives on realising change. It is aimed at managers, technologists, change agentsand scholars who are interested in field service operations in general and the use of advanced computing technologies in this area in particular.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 300 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The study of classical electromagnetic fields is an adventure. The theory is complete mathematically and we are able to present it as an example of classical Newtonian experimental and mathematical philosophy. There is a set of foundational experiments, on which most of the theory is constructed. And then there is the bold theoretical proposal of a field-field interaction from James Clerk Maxwell.This textbook presents the theory of classical fields as a mathematical structure based solidly on laboratory experiments. Here the student is introduced to the beauty of classical field theory as a gem of theoretical physics. To keep the discussion fluid, the history is placed in a beginning chapter and some of the mathematical proofs in the appendices. Chapters on Green¿s Functions and Laplace¿s Equation and a discussion of Faraday¿s Experiment further deepen the understanding. The chapter on Einstein¿s relativity is an integral necessity to the text. Finally, chapters on particlemotion and waves in a dispersive medium complete the picture. High quality diagrams and detailed end-of-chapter questions enhance the learning experience.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 460 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Mathematical Modeling for Complex Fluids and Flows provides researchers and engineering practitioners encountering fluid flows with state-of-the-art knowledge in continuum concepts and associated fluid dynamics. In doing so it supplies the means to design mathematical models of these flows that adequately express the engineering physics involved. It exploits the implicit link between the turbulent flow of classical Newtonian fluids and the laminar and turbulent flow of non-Newtonian fluids such as those required in food processing and polymeric flows.The book develops a descriptive mathematical model articulated through continuum mechanics concepts for these non-Newtonian, viscoelastic fluids and turbulent flows. Each complex fluid and flow is examined in this continuum context as well as in combination with the turbulent flow of viscoelastic fluids. Some details are also explored via kinetic theory, especially viscoelastic fluids and their treatment with the Boltzmann equation. Both solution and modeling strategies for turbulent flows are laid out using continuum concepts, including a description of constructing polynomial representations and accounting for non-inertial and curvature effects.Ranging from fundamental concepts to practical methodology, and including discussion of emerging technologies, this book is ideal for those requiring a single-source assessment of current practice in this intricate yet vital field.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 284 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In this book, the author compares the meaning of stability in different subfields of numerical mathematics.Concept of Stability in numerical mathematics opens by examining the stability of finite algorithms. A more precise definition of stability holds for quadrature and interpolation methods, which the following chapters focus on. The discussion then progresses to the numerical treatment of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). While one-step methods for ODEs are always stable, this is not the case for hyperbolic or parabolic differential equations, which are investigated next. The final chapters discuss stability for discretisations of elliptic differential equations and integral equations.In comparison among the subfields we discuss the practical importance of stability and the possible conflict between higher consistency order and stability.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 204 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This white paper is part of a series that promotes knowledge about language technology and its potential. It addresses educators, journalists, politicians, language communities and others. The availability and use of language technology in Europe varies between languages. Consequently, the actions that are required to further support research and development of language technologies also differ for each language. The required actions depend on many factors, such as the complexity of a given language and the size of its community. META-NET, a Network of Excellence funded by the European Commission, has conducted an analysis of current language resources and technologies. This analysis focused on the 23 official European languages as well as other important national and regional languages in Europe. The results of this analysis suggest that there are many significant research gaps for each language. A more detailed expert analysis and assessment of the current situation will help maximise the impact of additional research and minimize any risks. META-NET consists of 54 research centres from 33 countries that are working with stakeholders from commercial businesses, government agencies, industry, research organisations, software companies, technology providers and European universities. Together, they are creating a common technology vision while developing a strategic research agenda that shows how language technology applications can address any research gaps by 2020.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 80 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In the last hundred years, modern physics and cosmology have shown that there exist regions of the universe forever beyond our reach, hidden by truly ultimate horizons. Such regions exist in those remote parts of the universe where, from our point of view, space expands faster than the speed of light. They are found in black holes, where the gravity is strong enough to retain even light within its field of attraction. And in the realm of the very small, quarks must remain forever confined to their world of extreme density and can never be removed from it. The aim of this book is to describe these ultimate horizons, how they were discovered, how they shape our view of the world, and what clues we have about a world beyond them.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 184 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The German health care system is on a collision course with budget realities. Costs are high and rising, and quality problems are becoming ever more apparent. Decades of reforms have produced little change to these troubling trends.Why has Germany failed to solve these cost and quality problems The reason is that Germany has not set value for patients as the overarching goal, defined as the patient health outcomes achieved per euro expended.This book lays out an action agenda to move Germany to a high value system: care must be reorganized around patients and their medical conditions, providers must compete around the outcomes they achieve, health plans must take an active role in improving subscriber health, and payment must shift to models that reward excellent providers. Also, private insurance must be integrated in the risk-pooling system.These steps are practical and achievable, as numerous examples in the book demonstrate. Moving to a value-based health care system is the only way for Germany to continue to ensure access to excellent health care for everyone.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 324 pp. Englisch.
