1) - the function cp is continuous, vanishes for v = 0 and satisfies the inequality cp( v)v > 0 for every v =/= o. The object of the study of absolute stability consists in finding a criterion which secures simultaneously the stability of all the systems characterized by Condition (6) .

This book is a fully detailed introduction to the theory of modular functions of a single variable. An extensive discussion of the modular group SL(2, Z) is followed by the introduction to the theory of automorphic functions and auto morphic forms of integral dimensions belonging to SL(2,Z).

Information theory and cybernetics have developed along somewhat different lines in Europe and in the U. Anyone who seeks to apply information theory in the fields of education and psychology very soon comes up against a central diffi culty: in the form in which it was developed by Shannon information theory excludes the semantic aspect.

This book contains a systematic analysis of the formalisms of quantum electro dynamics in the presence of an intense external field able to create pairs from the vacuum, and thereby violate the stability of the latter.

Topological Dynamics has its roots deep in the theory of differential equations, specifically in that portion called the "qualitative theory".

An introductory discussion of basic chromosome structure andfunction preceeds the main text on the application ofcytogenetic approaches to the analysis of the manipulationof both the genetic make-up and the genetic transmissionsystem of plant breeding material.

The dispersion relations for an arbitrary di rection scattering amplitude are proven, and analytic properties of the amplitude in the plane of the complex cosine of the scattering angle are studied in detail.

This monograph is concerned with the fundamentals of up-to-date geo metrical optics treated as an approximate method of wave theory.

The spectra of molecules containing more than one atom are necessarily of single atoms. Most especially, molecular spectra are of fundamental importance in understanding chemical bonding. They reveal not only bond lengths but also the strength of the bonding potential between atoms.

Molecular biology has always been a discipline of rapid development. The rapid growth in information leads to ever-increasing specialization, so that it becomes increasingly difficult for a scientist to keep abreast of developments in all the various aspects of the field, although an up-to-date knowledge of the field as a whole is highly desirable.

8) * how to estimate an organization's implicit span of control (7) determining the minimal ranks in supervision (8. 5) * recognizing economic choices in substituting managers for operatives or vice versa (11) * determining the optimal size of a research team (12) VI * setting targets (13.

Karst Systems deal with the question of how the subsurface drainage system, typical of Karst areas develops from its initial state to maturity.

The theory of harmonic spaces, sometimes also called axiomatic theory of harmonic functions, plays a particular role among the above mentioned theories.

The purpose of this book is to give a unified treatment of the limit theory of branching processes. There is a natural classification of branching processes according to their criticality condition, their time parameter, the single or multi-type particle cases, the Markovian or non-Markovian character of the pro cess, etc.

Traditionally internal control has had a fairly direct relationship to financial reporting quality but wider approaches to internal control have expanded those boundaries much further. Also there is much to learn about internal control quality, and the way internal control quality is associated with overall corporate governance quality.

Christian Schierenbeck makes a provocative case that higher education across the globe suffers from a profound productivity crisis which prevents broad access to affordable and high-quality educational services.

This diverse collection brings together the English essays, speeches, academic papers and book reviews of Hu Shih, all written between 1919 and 1962, exploring his ideas on such topics as scientific methodology, liberalism and democracy, and social problems.

Impending famine and a terrifying rate of consumption of natural resources are vital issues which have focussed public interest in the ecologic, social and political problems of ever increasing overpopulation in many countries of the world.

Surface crystallography plays the same fundamental role in surface science which bulk crystallography has played so successfully in solid-state physics and chemistry.

It embraces nearly all aspects of the application of the method, including an evaluation of cohesive energies, equilibrium crystal structures, phonon spectra, ther modynamic functions, and crystal defects.

The classical result for uniqueness in elasticity theory is due to Kirchhoff.

This monograph deals with the kinetics of adsorption and desorption of molecules physisorbed on solid surfaces. To keep this monograph to a reasonable size, and also to allow for some unity in the presentation of the material, we had to omit a number of topics related to physisorption kinetics.
