Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -While the majority of flowering plant species are hermaphroditic, gender di morphism, or the occurrence of two sexual morphs, has, nevertheless, evolved on repeated occasions. Gender dimorphism is found in nearly half of all angio sperm families and in approximately 10% of flowering plant species. Where plants are dimorphic in gender, they can also be dimorphic in secondary sex characters. We refer to dimorphism of the latter kind as sexual dimorphism, in keeping with the term's usage by most zoologists. This book is about the evolution of both forms of dimorphism -hence the book's lengthy title. Gender dimorphism in plants has been an active topic of research from theoretical and empirical perspectives, and has been the focus of several re cent reviews and book chapters. By contrast, sexual dimorphism in plants is of the much less widely appreciated. Indeed, the last comprehensive review subject dates back to Lloyd and Webb's 1977 paper on 'Secondary Sex Char we first spoke of editing a book on sexual acters in Plants. ' In addition, when dimorphism in plants, some people doubted that there was enough material to justify the effort. We hope that this book not only provides an update to Lloyd and Webb's seminal work but also dispels doubts about the widespread nature of sexual dimorphism in plants. We decided to combine reviews of both gender and sexual dimorphism in a single book, because each form of dimorphism can provide the evolutionary impetus for the other.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 332 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book, part of a series from The Open University in the United Kingdom, is about animal behaviour. The behaviour of animals, including humans, is very diverse and often very complex. Studying behaviour draws on the work of scientists from several disciplines, including ethologists, psychologists, physiologists and biochemists. The question that most of them are interested in answering is: why does an animal behave in the way it does The possible answers - development, survival value, evolutionary history or cause-and-effect - are the themes that run through this introduction to behaviour and evolution. 316 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -These notes are devoted to a systematic study of developing the Tomita-Takesaki theory for von Neumann algebras in unbounded operator algebras called O\*-algebras and to its applications to quantum physics. The notions of standard generalized vectors and standard weights for an O\*-algebra are introduced and they lead to a Tomita-Takesaki theory of modular automorphisms. The Tomita-Takesaki theory in O\*-algebras is applied to quantum moment problem, quantum statistical mechanics and the Wightman quantum field theory. This will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in the field of (unbounded) operator algebras and mathematical physics.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 252 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Why another book on the renormalization of field theory This book aims to contribute to the bridging of the gap between the treatments of renor malization in physics courses and the mathematically rigorous approach. It provides a simple but rigorous introduction to perturbative renormalization, and, in doing so, also equips the reader with some basic techniques which are a prerequisite for studying renormalization nonperturbatively. Beside these technical issues, it also contains a proof of renormalizability of ¢4 theory in d :5 4 dimensions and a discussion of renormalization for systems with a Fermi surface, which are realistic models for electrons in metals. Like the two courses on which it is based, the book is intended to be easily accessible to mathematics and physics students from the third year on, and after going through it, one should be able to start reading the current literature on the subject, in particular on nonperturbative renormalization. Chapter 1 provides a brief motivation for studying quantum theory by functional integrals, as well as the setup. In Chap. 2, the techniques of Gaus sian integration and Feynman graph expansions are introduced. I then give simple proofs of basic results, such as the theorem that the logarithm of the generating functional is a sum of values of connected Feynman graphs. In Chap. 3, the Wilson renormalization flow is defined, and perturbative renormalizability of ¢4 theory in d :5 4 dimensions is proven using a renormal ization group differential equation. The Feynman graph expansion of Chap.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 244 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This volume contains the texts of the four series of lectures presented by B.Cockburn, C.Johnson, C.W. Shu and E.Tadmor at a C.I.M.E. Summer School. It is aimed at providing a comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of numerical methods which are nowadays used to solve nonlinear partial differential equations of hyperbolic type, developing shock discontinuities. The most effective methodologies in the framework of finite elements, finite differences, finite volumes spectral methods and kinetic methods, are addressed, in particular high-order shock capturing techniques, discontinuous Galerkin methods, adaptive techniques based upon a-posteriori error analysis.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 460 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -As a graduate student working in quantum optics I encountered the question that might be taken as the theme of this book. The question definitely arose at that time though it was not yet very clearly defined; there was simply some deep irritation caused by the work I was doing, something quite fundamental I did not understand. Of course, so many things are not understood when one is a graduate student. However, my nagging question was not a technical issue, not merely a mathematical concept that was difficult to grasp. It was a sense that certain elementary notions that are accepted as starting points for work in quantum optics somehow had no fundamental foundation, no identifiable root. My inclination was to mine physics vertically, and here was a subject whose tunnels were dug horizontally. There were branches, certainly, going up and going down. Nonetheless, something major in the downwards direction was missing-at least in my understanding; no doubt others understood the connections downwards very well. In retrospect I can identify the irritation. Quantum optics deals primarily with dynamics, quantum dynamics, and in doing so makes extensive use of words like 'quantum fluctuations' and 'quantum noise. ' The words seem harmless enough. Surely the ideas behind them are quite clear; after all, quantum mechanics is a statistical theory, and in its dynamical aspects it is therefore a theory of fluctuations. But there was my problem. Nothing in Schrodinger's equation fluctuates.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 396 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Caustics, Catastrophes and Wave Fields in a sense continues the treatment of the earlier volume 6 'Geometrical Optics of Inhomogeneous Media' in the present book series, by analysing caustics and their fields on the basis of modern catastrophe theory. This volume covers the key generalisations of geometrical optics related to caustic asymptotic expansions: The Lewis-Kravtsov method of standard functions, Maslov's method of caonical operators, Orlov's method of interference integrals, as well as their modifications for penumbra, space-time, random and other types of caustics. All the methods are amply illustrated by worked problems concerning relevant wave-field applications. 232 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Japanese firms are in the midst of the most protracted economic crisis in their post-war history. The end of the 'bubble economy' has led to a long era of low growth. This change in the general business environment has profound consequences for the management and the organization of corporate Japan, as well as for the theory of the Japanese firm. The contributions to this book cover a broad range of subjects, from the strategies and organizational structures to the management of human resources and innovation processes in the 1990s. These changes are systematically commented on by field specialists from abroad, especially Europe, relating the situation in Japan to comparable developments in other countries.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 452 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In this book we consider deep and classical results of homotopy theory like the homological Whitehead theorem, the Hurewicz theorem, the finiteness obstruction theorem of Wall, the theorems on Whitehead torsion and simple homotopy equivalences, and we characterize axiomatically the assumptions under which such results hold. This leads to a new combinatorial foundation of homology and homotopy. Numerous explicit examples and applications in various fields of topology and algebra are given.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 392 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Half a century ago, S. Chandrasekhar wrote these words in the preface to his 1 celebrated and successful book: In this monograph an attempt has been made to present the theory of stellar dy namics as a branch of classical dynamics - a discipline in the same general category as celestial mechanics. [ . ] Indeed, several of the problems of modern stellar dy namical theory are so severely classical that it is difficult to believe that they are not already discussed, for example, in Jacobi's Vorlesungen. Since then, stellar dynamics has developed in several directions and at var ious levels, basically three viewpoints remaining from which to look at the problems encountered in the interpretation of the phenomenology. Roughly speaking, we can say that a stellar system (cluster, galaxy, etc.) can be con sidered from the point of view of celestial mechanics (the N-body problem with N» 1), fluid mechanics (the system is represented by a material con tinuum), or statistical mechanics (one defines a distribution function for the positions and the states of motion of the components of the system).Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 440 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The 1997 Les Houches workshop on 'Dynamical Network in Physics and Biology' was the third in a series of meetings 'At the Frontier between Physics and Biology'. Our objective with these workshops is to create a truly interdisciplinary forum for researchers working on outstanding problems in biology, but using different approaches (physical, chemical or biological). Generally speaking, the biologists are trained in the particular and motivated by the specifics, while, in contrast, the physicists deal with generic and 'universal' models. All agree about the necessity of developing 'robust' models. The specific aim of the workshop was to bridge the gap between physics and biology in the particular field of interconnected dynamical networks. The proper functioning of a living organism of any complexity requires the coordinated activity of a great number of 'units'. Units, or, in physical terms, degrees of freedom that couple to one another, typically form networks. The physical or biological properties of interconnected networks may drastically differ from those of the individual units: the whole is not simply an assembly of its parts, as can be demonstrated by the following examples. Above a certain (critical) concentration the metallic islands, randomly distributed in an insulating matrix, form an interconnected network. At this point the macroscopic conductivity of the system becomes finite and the amorphous metal is capable of carrying current. The value of the macroscopic conductivity typically is very different from the conductivity of the individual metallic islands.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 332 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -You can start by putting the DO NOT DISTURB sign. Cay, in Desert Hearts (1985). The interplay between randomness and computation is one of the most fas cinating scientific phenomena uncovered in the last couple of decades. This interplay is at the heart of modern cryptography and plays a fundamental role in complexity theory at large. Specifically, the interplay of randomness and computation is pivotal to several intriguing notions of probabilistic proof systems and is the focal of the computational approach to randomness. This book provides an introduction to these three, somewhat interwoven domains (i.e., cryptography, proofs and randomness). Modern Cryptography. Whereas classical cryptography was confined to the art of designing and breaking encryption schemes (or 'secrecy codes'), Modern Cryptography is concerned with the rigorous analysis of any system which should withstand malicious attempts to abuse it. We emphasize two aspects of the transition from classical to modern cryptography: ( 1) the wide ning of scope from one specific task to an utmost wide general class of tasks; and (2) the move from an engineering-art which strives on ad-hoc tricks to a scientific discipline based on rigorous approaches and techniques.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 204 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book covers a wide range of lectures given at the Short Summer Course cel ebrated at La Laguna University about the new trends in the modern character ization methods: chemical, microscopies, thermal, X-ray, resonance and nuclear methos for ceramics, glasses and related materials. This book also looks also at the zeolite thermal characterization methods as well as the new approaches in new microscopies for the investigation of surfaces in materials. Nowadays is generally accepted in the scientific community that characteri zation methods must be used in research from a complementary point of view. The concious application of several characterization techniques in the same ma terial is very useful not only for obtaining a best knowledgement of the material characteristics, but also to answer scientific and technical questions about the processing and properties of final products. Whereas the introducing chapter in chemical analysis of rare earths the several methods here described looked as complementary methods which can be used in the investigation of ceramics and glasses. The major part of the book is devoted to fundamentals and applications of the techniques with a direct style which makes the book easy to read, being particularly useful for anyone beginning in research and applications of ceram ics, glasses and glass-ceramics. Each chapter include clear figures and additional references for those interested in obtaining a depth knowledgement in different techniques.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 262 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -At the intersection of environmental science and human biology this book deals with dry ecosystems - aridity, droughts, wind and its influence on soils and regulation - the societies affected by these ecosystems, and the inventiveness of those living under these conditions. These environments are the basis of nomad existence, of irrigated agriculture and of the first civilisations dependent on streams. Changes in the modern epoch, the ever-increasing technology and demographic development show that environmental degradation and the socio-economic situation cannot be explained by just one factor. This book tries to answer the question whether long-lasting development is possible in dry environments.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 316 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In its broadest sense, and according to the traditional conception, wood chemistry is a comprehensive discipline, ranging from fundamental studies to practical applications. The manifold constituents, located in different morphological regions in the wood, results in an extreme complexity of wood chemistry. Ever more sophisticated endeavors needing fundamental studies and advanced analytical methods are necessary in order to delve deeper into various problems in pulping and papermaking. Gradually, new, improved ana lytical methods, originally developed for research purposes, are currently replacing many of the old 'routine' methods in practical applications. Because of the expanse of the subject, an attempt to write a book of this size about analytical methods seems, perhaps, too ambitious. Of course, a whole book series of several volumes would be necessary to cover this topic completely. However, there is undoubtedly a need for a more condensed presentation which does not go into experimental details, but is limited to the basic principles of the analytical methods and illustrates their applica tions. The emphasis is on more advanced and potential methods, and partic ularly on those based on different types of spectroscopy and chromatography.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 340 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Vor 13 Jahren fand im November 1985 an der Universität Karlsruhe erstmals das Fachgespräch über 'Autonome Mobile Systeme' statt. Seither wird es regelmäßig jedes Jahr alternierend einmal in München, Karlsruhe und seit 1994 auch in Stuttgart abgehalten. Diese Tradition entwickelte sich insbesondere durch Forschungs schwerpunkte, Verbundprojekte und Sonderforschungsbereiche, die an diesen Universitäten zu dem Thema autonome Systeme bearbeitet wurden, aktuell laufen oder in Planung sind. Im Dezember 1998 findet das 14. Fachgespräch 'Autonome Mobile Systeme' (AMS'98) nunmehr das siebte Mal in Karlsruhe statt. Das Fachgespräch versteht sich als kritisches wissenschaftliches Forum im deutschsprachigen Raum, auf dem Arbeiten aus Universitäten und Fachhochschulen, Forschungseinrichtungen und Firmen auf dem Gebiet der autonomen mobilen Robotersysteme vorgestellt, diskutiert und neue Ideen aufgegriffen werden. Mit Freude können die Veranstalter darauf verweisen, daß auch internationale Gäste in das Fachgespräch eingebunden werden konnten. Bei den bisherigen Fachgesprächen zeigte sich deutlich, daß sich der Begriff der Autonomie von Robotersystemen ständig ändert und von den Anforderungen der jeweiligen Anwendung geprägt wird. Zu Beginn der Fachgesprächsreihe standen autonome Fahrzeuge in industriellen Produktionsbereichen im Vordergrund. Im Jahr 1998 zeigt das Spektrum der Beiträge, daß Autonomie auch ein Grundbestandteil von Straßen-, Gelände- Wasser- und Luftfahrzeugen wird. Die Forschung auf dem Gebiet autonomer mobiler Roboter konzentriert sich zunehmend auf den Bereich Serviceroboter. So wurden auf der Hannover-Messe in diesem Jahr auf dem Gemeinschaftsstand Serviceroboter zahlreiche mobile Plattformen für Roboteranwendungen in unterschiedlichenDienstleistungsbereichen wie Büro, Hotel, Krankenhaus und gar im privaten Umfeld vorgestellt.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 288 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Die antipsychotische Wirksamkeit der Neuroleptika sowohl bei schizophrenen Psychos en als auch bei florider psychotischer Symptomatik im Rahmen anderer psychiatrischer Erkrankungen, z. B. bei organischen Psychosen oder bei Drogen psychosen, ist seit langem bekannt. Demgegenuber ist der Einsatz von Neurolep tika bei nichtpsychotischen Erkrankungen weniger gut abgesichert. Entsprechend sind derartige SWrungen fUr Neuroleptika z. B. in der Roten Liste bzw. in den Fachinformationen der Hersteller nur bei einigen Praparaten im Sinne einer 'Nebenindikation' aufgefUhrt. Urn so erstaunlicher ist der Befund, daB nach Daten des Medizinischen Instituts fUr Statistik in Frankfurt, in Ubereinstimmung mit skandinavischen Arzneimittelstatistiken, z. B. fUr das 2. Quartal 1997 in Deutschland bei nur 14 % der Neuroleptikaverordnungen schizophrene Psycho sen, hingegen bei mehr als der Halfte der Verordnungen nichtschizophrene Erkrankungen, insbesondere Neurosen (23,7 %), angegeben werden. Diese Zahlen zeigen die Notwendigkeit, auch bei den nichtpsychotischen Erkrankungen Indi kationsgebiete, Nebenwirkungsspektrum und Richtlinien zur Praparate- und Dosiswahl einschlieBlich rechtlicher Aspekte sorgfaltig zu uberdenken. Die Breite der Anwendung von Neuroleptika bei dies en Erkrankungen in Arztpraxis und Klinik steht in einem gewissen Kontrast zu der relativ geringen Zahl kontrollier ter wissenschaftlicher Studien auBerhalb schizophrener Psychosen. Insbesondere einige neuere Praparate, wie Sertindol, Olanzapin oder Risperidon, sind bisher fUr andere Indikationen noch gar nicht zugelassen, obwohl gerade bei den neuen Substanzen zumindest fUr schizophrene Psychosen ein besonders gunsti ges Nutzen-Nebenwirkungs-Verhaltnis anzunehmen ist.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 224 pp. Deutsch.
