The Road to Universal Logic

This book traces the life of Cholesky (1875-1918), and gives his family history. Then, an important unpublished book of Cholesky on graphical calculation is analyzed in detail and compared to similar contemporary publications. Various documents, highlighting the life and the personality of Cholesky, end the book.

This book contains the proceedings of the 23rd International Workshop on Operator Theory and its Applications (IWOTA 2012), which was held at the University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia) from 16 July to 20 July 2012. It includes twelve articles presenting both surveys of current research in operator theory and original results.

This volume is a collection of articles presented at the Workshop for Nonlinear Analysis held in Joao Pessoa, Brazil, in September 2012. The many contributors consider modern topics in the calculus of variations, topological methods and regularity analysis, together with novel applications of partial differential equations.

This volume presents an introductory course on differential stochastic equations and Malliavin calculus. The first part is devoted to the Gaussian measure in a separable Hilbert space, the Malliavin derivative, the construction of the Brownian motion and Ito's formula. The third part provides an introduction to the Malliavin calculus.

Dieses Heft umfasst vier Berichte: 1. Bericht zur Futtermittelkontrolle 2. Nationaler Ruckstandskontrollplan (NRKP) 3. Nationale Berichterstattung an die EU 4. Inspektionsbericht des Lebensmittel- und Veterinaramtes (FVO) zur Einhaltung der EU-Rechtsvorschriften...

Das Lebensmittelmonitoring ist ein gemeinsam von Bund und Ländern durchgeführtes Untersuchungsprogramm, das die amtliche Lebensmittelüberwachung der Bundesländer ergänzt. Während die Lebensmittelüberwachung vor allem durch verdachts- und risikoorientierte Untersuchungen die Einhaltung lebensmittelrechtlicher Vorschriften kontrolliert, ist das Lebensmittelmonitoring ein System wiederholter repräsentativer Messungen und Bewertungen von Gehalten an unerwünschten Stoffen wie Pflanzenschutzmitteln, Schwermetallen und anderen Kontaminanten in und auf Lebensmitteln. Mit Hilfe des Lebensmittelmonitorings können mögliche gesundheitliche Risiken für die Verbraucher erkannt und abgestellt werden.

Multi-agent Systems (MAS) are one of the most exciting research areas in Artificial Intelligence meanwhile Environmental Studies is a research area of strategic interest.

Dieses Buch führt kompakt in einige Kerngebiete der Diskreten Mathematik ein. Es behandelt zunächst grundlegende Konzepte aus der Kombinatorik und der Graphentheorie und fokussiert anschließend in seinem methodischen Teil auf probabilistische und algebraische Techniken sowie Themen aus der Ramseytheorie. So wird den Lesenden klar, dass die Diskrete Mathematik eine spannende Disziplin mit eigenen Fragestellungen ist, die zahlreiche interessante Bezüge zu den klassischen Anfängervorlesungen hat.  Dieses Buch stellt das Fachgebiet in idealer Breite und Tiefe für eine zwei- bis vierstündige Lehrveranstaltung dar.

In this book an account of the growth theory of subharmonic functions is given, which is directed towards its applications to entire functions of one and several complex variables. The presentation aims at converting the noble art of constructing an entire function with prescribed asymptotic behaviour to a handicraft.

The 23 articles in this volume encompass the proceedings of the International Conference on Modules and Comodules held in Porto (Portugal) in 2006. These articles reflect Professor Wisbauer's wide interests and give an overview of different fields related to module theory.

This, the Hiroshi Wakita Volume III is a special publication brought out by Springer to honor Professor Wakita for his contributions to science.

His most famous work is the three-volume Traite du calcul differentiel et du calcul integral, which is an encyclopedic appraisal of 18th-century calculus that remained the standard reference on the subject through much of the 19th century.

This book arose out of original research on the extension of well-established applications of complex numbers related to Euclidean geometry and to the space-time symmetry of two-dimensional Special Relativity. The system of hyperbolic numbers is extensively studied, and a plain exposition of space-time geometry and trigonometry is given.

This volume provides new advances regarding the involvement of MMPs in various diseases associated with inflammatory processes.

This volume comprises the proceedings of the International Workshop on Operator Theory and Its Applications held at the University of Connecticut in July 2005.

This volume contains many original findings on mesoscale processes in atmospheric and oceanic systems through mathematical modeling, numerical simulations and field experiments.

This volume features contributions from the first Meeting of the Tsunami Commission after the big 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean. In addition, the volume provides reports of post-tsunami surveys and numerical simulations for tsunamis such as the 2004 Indian Ocean event. It also details tsunami dangers and early warning systems.

This second part of a two-volume work contains 22 research articles on various aspects of computational earthquake physics. Coverage includes the promising earthquake forecasting model LURR (Load-Unload Response Ratio); computational algorithms, including continuum damage models and visualization and analysis of geophysical datasets;

In this book, non-spectral methods are presented and discussed that have been developed over the last two decades for the investigation of asymptotic behavior of operator semigroups. This concerns in particular Markov semigroups in L1-spaces, motivated by applications to probability theory and dynamical systems.

Mechanical properties and fluid transport in rocks are intimately linked as deformation of a solid rock matrix immediately affects the pore space and permeability.

This book reconstructs, from both historical and theoretical points of view, Leibniz's geometrical studies, focusing in particular on the research Leibniz carried out in his final years. This is the first ever, comprehensive historical reconstruction of Leibniz's geometry.

Presents the results in Fredholm theory for singular integral and convolution operators, estimates for singular integral operators on Carleson curves acting in Lp spaces with variable exponents, the finite sections method for band-dominated and Toeplitz operators, Szego type theorems, and the averaging method for nonlinear equations, among others.

Schur analysis originated with an 1917 article which associated to a function, which is analytic and contractive in the open unit disk, a sequence, finite or infinite, of numbers in the open unit disk, called Schur coefficients, often named reflection coefficients in signal processing.

In Vivo Models of Inflammation (Vol. 1) provides biomedical researchers in both the pharmaceutical industry and academia with a description of the state-of-the-art animal model systems used to emulate diseases with components of inflammation.

Helps in study of the theory of linear systems by using tools from the theory of linear operators. This book covers methods including noncommutative systems theory, aspects of the theory of discrete systems, discrete analogs of canonical systems, and applications to the theory of Bezoutiants and convolution equations.

TLRs are increasingly being implicated in both infectious and inflammatory diseases, notable examples being sepsis, inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis and asthma.

Statistical Seismology aims to bridge the gap between physics-based and statistics-based models. The volume will be useful to students and professional researchers alike, who are interested in using stochastic modeling for probing the nature of earthquake phenomena, as well as an essential ingredient for earthquake forecasting.
