In this book a detailed and systematic treatment of asymptotic methods in the theory of plates and shells is presented. Providing a state-of-the-art review of asymptotic applications, this book will be useful as an introduction to the field for novices as well as a reference book for specialists.

Important future applications are also outlined, including information storage, materials for computer memories, quantum computers, isotopic fibers, isotopic optoelectronics, and quantum electronics.

Spatial reasoning and planning is a core constituent in robotics, graphics, computer-aided design, and geographic information systems. After a review of previous work in the related areas, Liu and Daneshmend present a unified framework for qualitative spatial representation and reasoning.

In order to cover the topic comprehensively, Silicon Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits presents detailed descriptions of many OEICs for a wide variety of applications from various optical sensors, smart sensors, 3D-cameras, and optical storage systems (DVD) to fiber receivers in deep-sub-m CMOS.

Description of experiments that uncovered the nature of CP violation and the phenomenology describing CP violation. The author Konrad Kleinknecht received the Leibniz award of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft 1990 and the Gentner-Kastler prize and medal of SFP and DPG 2001.

The environmental performance of SMEs (Small and Medium sized Enterprises) is an area of major policy concern. SMEs in Europe reports on factors influencing the environmental performance of SMEs across four European countries: the UK, Ireland, Germany and Italy.

Each concept is discussed from the basics and supported by sufficient mathematical background and worked examples. Suitable for individual or group learning, the book offers numerous end-of-chapter problems for study and review.

Template-driven Consulting is a book for managers who have long been searching for a way to cut costs on expensive external business advice. Applying TDC, your employees become the experts whilst you see the number of and cost for external consultants decrease tremendously!

In today's increasingly complex and uncertain business environment, financial analysis is yet more critical to business managers who tackle problems of an economic or business nature.

Discusses the information model that describes the purpose, structure, and behavior of a network. This title presents an added-value modeling language that called AMLn (Abstract Modeling Language, network view), which is an attempt to create a modeling language for network systems.

With a section (VIII.C) about "Legal feasibility of the GCCS" by Prof.Dr.jur. Jurgen Knebel, professor at ESCP-EAP, European School of Management, Paris, Oxford, Berlin, Madrid

The present monograph is mainly focused on the behaviour of ductile ma terials at cryogenic temperatures, stability issues concerning application of corrugated shells at cryogenic conditions and reliability oriented parametric optimisation of compensation systems containing the corrugated bellows.

Three-dimensional x-ray diffraction (3DXRD) microscopy is a novel experimental method for structural characterisation of polycrystalline materials. The scope of applications includes work in materials science and engineering, geophysics, geology, chemistry and pharmaceutical science.

This focused monograph builds upon an increasing interest in nonholonomic mechanical systems in robotics and control engineering. It covers the definition and development of new nonholonomic machines designed on the basis of nonlinear control theory for nonholonomic mechanical systems.

Symplectic geometry, well known as the basic structure of Hamiltonian mechanics, is also the foundation of optics. Geometric Optics on Phase Space develops both geometric optics and group theory from first principles in their Hamiltonian formulation on phase space.

This study analyzes carbon-cycle conditions controlling the state of the Arctic ecosystem and their seasonal variations. Territory covered includes the Barents, White, Kara, Laptev, East-Siberian and Chukchi Seas, considering inter-correlations between sources of organic carbon, their fluxes, recycling and burial in bottom sediments.

The fact that magnetite (Fe304) was already known in the Greek era as a peculiar mineral is indicative of the long history of transition metal oxides as useful materials. The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in 1986 has renewed interest in transition metal oxides.

With Introduction to Hearing and Signal Analysis and a Glossary of Speech and Computer Terms

This book presents a theory for unconventional superconductivity driven by spin excitations. Using the Hubbard Hamiltonian and a self-consistent treatment of the spin excitations, the interplay between magnetism and superconductivity in various unconventional superconductors is discussed.

The authors discuss the technology of spiral reinforcement and fillers, the structures and properties of spirally reinforced composites, binders, the manufacture of such composites, and the application of new materials and constructions.

Accessible to anyone with a good general background in mathematics, but it nonetheless gets right to the cutting edge of active research. Some results appear here for the first time, while others have hitherto only been given in preprints.

The theory of the scattering of light by small particles is very important in a wide range of applications in atmospheric physics and atmospheric optics, ocean optics, remote sensing, astronomy and astrophysics and biological optics.

The indicative budget allocated to the Thematic Priority enti tled 'Nanotechnologies and nanosciences, knowledge-based multifunctional materials and new production processes and devices' for the duration 2002- 2006 of the sixth EU Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development is EUR 1300 million [3].

In conventional color photography, spectral sensitizers cooperate with silver halide as acceptors of light during the exposure process, color developers reduce silver halide grains during the developing process, and finally the resulting oxidized developers react with couplers to form imaging dyes.

Other parts were presented at the Macro Study Group of the German Economic Association, at the Annual Meeting of the Austrian Economic Association in Klagenfurt, at the Pass au Workshop on International Economics, at the Halle Workshop on Monetary Economics, and at the Research Seminar on Macroeconomics in Freiburg.

Presents the results of a temporary interdisciplinary project, ranging from a discussion of the theoretical and practical possibilities in human-embryo experimentation and its alternatives in research on adult stem cells, a comparison of the situations of regulation of embryo research in Europe, and a survey of European public attitudes.
