Im ersten Teil des zweibandigen Werks werden die Grundlagen der phanomenologischen Thermodynamik dargestellt. Aktuelle Beispiele und Anwendungen aus allen Bereichen der Naturwissenschaften werden ausfuhrlich erlautert. Mit ausgearbeiteten UEbungsaufgaben.

The existence of neutron stars was not only a brilliant theoretical prediction, but also one of the most unexpected and astonishing discoveries of all heavenly bodies.

In addition to the traditional numerical methods, such as matrix inversions and the like, a whole new field of computational techniques has come to assume central importance, namely the numerical simulation methods.

Anticlastogens in Mammalian and Human Cells covers research on the protection of chromosomes from the action of chemical mutagens by use of natural and synthetic antimutagens, which, because of their specific action on clastogenic damage are called anticlastogens.

The weighted Monte Carlo estimates are constructed in order to diminish errors and to obtain dependent estimates for the calculated functionals for different values of parameters of the problem, i.e., to improve the functional dependence.

This book deals with Random Walk Methods for solving multidimensional boundary value problems. Some of the advantages of our new methods as compared to conventional numerical methods are that they cater for stochasticities in the boundary value problems and complicated shapes of the boundaries.

The application of immobilized enzymes in medicine is the main objective of this book. The author reviews natural and synthetic carriers for enzyme immobilization, chemistry of enzyme binding, and in-vitro and in-vivo properties of immobilized enzymes. Four chapters are dedicated to clinical use of immobilized enzymes.

People use the word strategy in a variety of different contexts. Applications of the systems range over various aspects of air traffic control, automatic verification and validation of discrete-event simulation models, econometric model building, distributed planning systems for manufacturing, control of traffic lights, and others.

What I mean is that the theoretical framework accom panying organic chemistry, long and fruitfully laboring on a quantum chemical understanding of structure, is now making the first tentative motions toward building an organic theory of reactivity.

Manufacturing processes, scientific experiments, research programs, tax collection systems, are all endeavors once born as projects. Project engineering is the application of science to the development and analysis of project plans, and to the supervision of their realization.

International marketing strategies are an essential part of the growing process of internationalization of markets and companies. At the same time, the rise of buyers' markets and market saturation in important market segments in most industrial countries is creating an increasingly marketing orientation in many companies.

Kuckuck, wrote the first edition in 1939 as a small German booklet, hence the nickname little cuckoo (Kuckuck = Engl. During the last 6 years (the fifth German edition appeared in 1985) again numerous results of basic research have found practical application, making extensive additions neces sary.

Writing this history of experimental virology was really a search for the origins and for vital signposts to portray the wide scope of the knowledge attained thus far. The present scientific story hopes to recount the most important knowledge achieved during this past century - the first century of the exciting developments in virology.

Organic chemicals constitute minor gaseous components of the earth's atmosphere. The author summarizes the multidisciplinary data on sources and thermo- and photochemical transformations of organic components in the atmosphere.

This book provides an overview of investigations into the interrela tions between stressful living conditions, individual coping strategies, and social support networks, on the one hand, and physiological, psychological, and social "health", on the other.

It is often assumed that metalinguistic performance (e.g., detection of ambiguity, judgments of grammaticality) straightforwardly reflects linguistic knowledge.

The central idea of this book is the concept of a currency order. Monetary theory is developed as a theory of currency orders. The book deals not only with the theories of the demand for and the supply of money, the banking firm, and the purchasing power of money. authority for the central banks, governmental currency monopoly vs.

At least four research fields detennine the theoretical background of specification and deduction in computer science: recursion theory, automated theorem proving, abstract data types and tenn rewriting systems.

Concise, recent data are presented on obstetric problems arising in patients with cardiovascular diseases (not only congenital and acquired valvular heart diseases and hypertension, but also uncommon heart lesions) and on cardiological complications encountered in pregnant women.

One of the principal objects of theoretical research in any department of knowledge is to find the point of view from which the subject appears in its greatest simplicity. In accord with the motto above, I have chosen to describe the theory of linear viscoelastic behavior through the use of the Laplace transformation.

Hydrogen can behave as an alkaline metal or a halogen and can react with nearly all elements of the periodic table.

It was therefore surprising to learn that the status of dermal lymphatics, under both normal and pathological conditions of man, had been largely neglected to date, particularly with respect to their ultrastructure.

An empirical case study is used here to analyze linguistic meaning as it is embedded in complex social behavior. conventional utterance meaning in terms of conventional facts; and, finally, sentence meaning in terms of conventional utterance meaning.

Other approaches based on partially ordered sets - such as the theory of traces, the theory of event structures and the theory of semi words - are not considered in this book, in spite of the strong links between them and net theory.

Aromatic organic hydrocarbons and heterocycles represent a bulk of about one third of all industrially produced organic basic materials.
