Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -During the week of October 24-28, 1983, a group of mathematicians and eco nomists met at the Institute for Mathematics and it Applications at the University of Minnesota. The workshop dealt with economic models in which time plays an essential role, and both the description of adjustment to a static equilibrium and the description of equilibrium paths were considered. From a mathematical point of view, discrete dynamical systems and the dynamics of ordi nary and partial differential equations played a major role. The conference consisted of lectures by economists and by mathematicians which treated some of the principal ideas of economic dynamics. Donald Saari pro vided some discrete dynamical systems background for a paper by Jean-Michel Grandmont on business cycles; the Grandmont paper was a major focus of the Workshop. Daniel Goroff, Jose Scheinkman, Christopher Sims. Neil Wallace. and Michael Woodford discussed the Grandmont paper after its presentation. The ideas of tatonnement were introduced by Leonid Hurwicz and extended by Andreu MasColell and H. Jerome Keisler. Four papers on economic dynamics follow (W. A. Brock, Truman Bewley. W. A. Brock and M. Rothschild and Yieh-Hei Wan). The remaining papers are devoted to issues of quantity and/or price adjustment (William Novshek and Hugo Sonnenschein. Phillipe Artzner. Carl Simon and Hugo Sonnenschein). equilibrium with a continuum of commodities (Larry Jones), and the adjustment of expectations (Lawrence Blume and James Jordan). 224 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume contains eleven articles which deal with different aspects of dynaoic and differential game theory and its applications in economic modeling and decision making. All but one of these were presented as invited papers in special sessions I organized at the 7th Annual Conference on Economic Dynamics and Control in London, England, during the period June 26-28, 1985. The first article, which comprises Chapter 1, provides a general introduction to the topic of dynamic and differential game theory, discusses various noncooperative equilibrium solution concepts, includ ing Nash, Stackelberg, and Consistent Conjectural Variations equilibria, and a number of issues such as feedback and time-consistency. The second chapter deals with the role of information in Nash equilibria and the role of leadership in Stackelberg problems. A special type of a Stackelberg problem is the one in which one dominant player (leader) acquires dynamic information involving the actions of the others (followers), and constructs policies (so-called incentives) which enforce a certain type of behavior on the followers; Chapter 3 deals with such a class of problems and presents some new theoretical results on the existence of affine incentive policies. The topic of Chapter 4 is the computation of equilibria in discounted stochastic dynamic games. Here, for problems with finite state and decision spaces, existing algorithms are reviewed, with a comparative study of their speeds of convergence, and a new algorithm for the computation of nonzero-sum game equilibria is presented. 308 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -How weIl can we model experimental observations of the peripheral auditory system' What theoretical predictions can we make that might be tested' It was with these questions in mind that we organized the 1985 Mechanics of Hearing Workshop, to bring together auditory researchers to compare models with experimental observations. Tbe workshop forum was inspired by the very successful 1983 Mechanics of Hearing Workshop in Delft [1]. Boston University was chosen as the site of our meeting because of the Boston area's role as a center for hearing research in this country. We made a special effort at this meeting to attract students from around the world, because without students this field will not progress. Financial support for the workshop was provided in part by grant BNS- 8412878 from the National Science Foundation. Modeling is a traditional strategy in science and plays an important role in the scientific method. Models are the bridge between theory and experiment. Tbey test the assumptions made in experimental designs. They are built on experimental results, and they may be used to test hypotheses and predict experimental results. Tbe latter is the scientific method at its best. Cochlear function is very complicated. For this reason, models play animportant role. One goal of modeling is to gain understanding, but the necessary mathematical tools are often formidably complex. An ex am pie of this is found in cochlear macromechanics.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 412 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -In the seven years since this volume first appeared. there has been an enormous expansion of the range of problems to which Monte Carlo computer simulation methods have been applied. This fact has already led to the addition of a companion volume ('Applications of the Monte Carlo Method in Statistical Physics', Topics in Current Physics. Vol . 36), edited in 1984, to this book. But the field continues to develop further; rapid progress is being made with respect to the implementation of Monte Carlo algorithms, the construction of special-purpose computers dedicated to exe cute Monte Carlo programs, and new methods to analyze the 'data' generated by these programs. Brief descriptions of these and other developments, together with numerous addi tional references, are included in a new chapter , 'Recent Trends in Monte Carlo Simulations' , which has been written for this second edition. Typographical correc tions have been made and fuller references given where appropriate, but otherwise the layout and contents of the other chapters are left unchanged. Thus this book, together with its companion volume mentioned above, gives a fairly complete and up to-date review of the field. It is hoped that the reduced price of this paperback edition will make it accessible to a wide range of scientists and students in the fields to which it is relevant: theoretical phYSics and physical chemistry , con densed-matter physics and materials science, computational physics and applied mathematics, etc.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 436 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This paper treats a two-echelon inventory system. The higher echelon is a single location reffered to as the depot, which places orders for supply of a single com modity. The lower echelon consists of several points, called the retailers, which are supplied by shipments from the depot, and at which random demands for the item occur. Stocks are reviewed and decisions are made periodically. Orders and/or shipments may each require a fixed lead time before reaching their respective desti nations. Section II gives a short literature review of distribution research. Section III introduces the multi-echelon distribution system together with the underlying as sumptions and gives a description of how this problem can be viewed as a Markovian Decision Process. Section IV discusses the concept of cost modifications in a distribution context. Section V presents the test-examples together with their optimal solutions and also gives the characteristic properties of these optimal solutions. These properties then will be used in section VI to give adapted ver sions of various heuristics which were used in assembly experiments previously and which will be tested against the test-examples.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 272 pp. Englisch.

Differentielle Psychologie und psychologische Diagnostik haben diese Tatsachen seit jeher berucksichtigt und Verfahren entwickelt, die schwerpunktmaBig entweder dem Schnelligkeitsaspekt oder der Fahigkeitskomponente galten. Wie die umfangreiche Befundliteratur belegt, erwiesen sich dabei jene Skalen gegenuber externen Kriterien als besonders gultig, die sowohl speed- als auch power-Elemente vermischt enthalten, namlich die allge Meinen Intelligenz-Tests. Ein solches Resultat kann nicht verwundern angesichts des Umstandes, daB die soziale Wirklichkeit, aus der die Kriterien fur Validierungsuntersuchungen gezogen werden, ebenfalls eine Legierung der beiden fraglichen Dimensionen darstellt. 1m Umfeld dieser Einsicht bildete sich jedoch die Annahme heraus, daB speed und power im interindividuellen Vergleich hoch interkorrelieren oder mit anderen Worten: Diejenigen Personen, die bei der Bearbeitung von Aufgaben relativ schnell sind, auch schwerere Aufgaben desselben Typs besonders gut losen konnten und umgekehrt.

Es liegen fast 180 Jahre dazwischen. Sich in den vergangenen Jahren mit Morphin zu beschaftigen, galt als wen ig attrakt iv, denn die neuen, kurzer und starker wirksamen synthet i schen Opioide wie Fentanyl, Alfentanil und viele andere, interessierten den Kliniker und Wissenschaftler mehr. Fur den Arzt erschien es sogar spektakular, Morphin seinen Patienten zu geben, da dieser sich zu sehr an das starke Medikament gewohnen konnte. Andererseits wurde vom Arzt das Gesprach mit dem Krebspatienten uber seine Krankheit und uber seinen Schmerz vermieden, als Ausrede wird oft die fehlende Zeit angefuhrt. Es ist keine Seltenheit, wenn Patienten vor groBen Operationen allein gelassen werden. So stellten Psychologen unab hangig von den behandelnden Arzten in einer chirurgischen Universitatskli n i k fest, daB von 24 Pat i enten mi ndestens 30% d i eser Krebspat i enten vor groBen Operat i onen ke i n aufk 1 arendes Gesprach uber i hre Krankhe it fuhren konnten. Als letzter Arzt kam der Anaesthesist zur Pramedikationsvisite, der mit beruhigenden Worten versuchen mUBte, dem Patienten die Angst vor der Operation zu nehmen. Eine Aufklarung uber Krankheit und uber eventuell zu erwartende postoperative Schmerzen war vor dem Operationstermin kurz, kaum durchfuhrbar und mit der Verordnung einer Beruhigungs- bzw.
