This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The final aim of the book is to construct effective discretization methods to solve multidimensional weakly singular integral equations of the second kind on a region of Rn e.g. equations arising in the radiation transfer theory. To this end, the smoothness of the solution is examined proposing sharp estimates of the growth of the derivatives of the solution near the boundary G. The superconvergence effect of collocation methods at the collocation points is established. This is a book for graduate students and researchers in the fields of analysis, integral equations, mathematical physics and numerical methods. No special knowledge beyond standard undergraduate courses is assumed. 180 pp. Englisch.

Il a été enseigné au DEA de Paris 7 de Statistique et Modèles Mathématiques en Economie et en Finance. Le but est de présenter avec un maximum d'exemples (variables indépendantes, dépendantes, diffusions, processus, .) les divers points de vue utilisés en Statistique Asymptotique, leurs cohérences et leurs différences. Ainsi se côtoient les théories d'Hajek, Le Cam, Bahadur, Ibragimov, Has'minskii, Efron, Amari, . Le but de ce livre est de donner une vue assez large en Statistique Asymptotique et de faciliter l'accèsà des ouvrages plus difficiles développant chacun l'une de ces différentes théories de façon plus approfondie. Le dernier chapitre du livre met en application sur un exemple particulier (celui des ruptures de modèles) les théories présentées au cours des chapitres précédents et met en évidence la différence des résultats qu'elles apportent. 140 pp. Französisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides a comprehensive exposition of M-idealtheory, a branch ofgeometric functional analysis whichdeals with certain subspaces of Banach spaces arisingnaturally in many contexts. Starting from the basicdefinitions the authors discuss a number of examples ofM-ideals (e.g. the closed two-sided ideals of C\*-algebras)and develop their general theory. Besides, applications toproblems from a variety of areas including approximationtheory, harmonic analysis, C\*-algebra theory and Banachspace geometry are presented.The book is mainly intended as a reference volume forresearchers working in one of these fields, but it alsoaddresses students at the graduate or postgraduate level.Each of its six chapters is accompanied by aNotes-and-Remarks section which explores furtherramifications of the subject and gives detailed referencesto the literature. An extensive bibliography is included. 404 pp. Englisch.

This is equivalent to sayingthat the possible combinations of singular fibers inelliptic K3 surfaces with a singular fiber of type I \* 0(superscript \*, subscript 0) can be described by a certainlaw using classical Dynkin graphs appearing in the theoryof semi-simple Lie groups. Further, a similar descriptionfor thecombination of singularities on plane sextic curvesis given. Standard knowledge of algebraic geometry at thelevel of graduate students is expected.

Wo doch bereits so viele geschrieben worden sind - von der kurzen Einführung bis hin zum umfassenden Kompendium. Es gibt eine große Zahl spezieller UNIX-Themen, die eigene Bücher wert sind. Viele davon sind ebenfalls schon geschrieben. Was ist also das Besondere an dem vorliegenden Buch 'UNIX . . . im Alleingang' Die Detailfülle, der man sich bei der Betrachtung des Systems mit all seinen Komponenten gegenüber sieht, ist in der Tat enorm. Da ist das Betriebssystem selbst, die verschiedenen Shells, die mit UNIX unlösbar verbundene Programmiersprache C, die Programmschnittstellen der graphischen Benutzeroberflächen, die Netzwerk-Utilities usw. Im Grunde sind das alles Indizien für die Leistungs fähigkeit von UNIX, aber wie kann man aB dem Herr werden im Alleingan Der Laie, UNIX-Einsteiger oder Umsteiger, kann schwerlich kaum selbst entscheiden, was primär wichtig ist und was nicht. Als jemand, der über ein gutes Jahrzehnt Praxiserfahrung in nerhalb der Themenkreise Softwareentwicklung und Schulung verfügt, habe ich mich bemüht, eine Auswahl aus dem Bereich der Systemgrundlagen zusammen zustellen, die ich für den Einstieg als sinnvoll und notwendig erachte. Worauf es ankommt, ist nicht, jeden hier vorgestellten Mechanismus bis ins kleinste Detail zu zerlegen. Es wird kein Vollständigkeitsanspruch erhoben. Die zweifellos wichtigen aber für den noch unvorbelasteten Leser eher verwirrenden Details sind Sache der Systernhandbücher. 452 pp. Deutsch.

Sie konnten bis Ende Februar 1993 berucksichtigt werden. Das UmwHG stellt sicherlich keinen Endpunkt der Entwicklung des zivilen Umwelthaftungsrechts dar.

Otto Hahn, Entdecker der Kernspaltung und Nobelpreisträger, hat als Wissenschaftler diese Verantwortung bewußt getragen und kann somit als Vorbild auch in unserer Zeit gelten. Diese Biographie soll einen Beitrag zur aktuellen Diskussion liefern und Otto Hahn, der selbst bereits seine wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse in der Zeitschrift Die Naturwissenschaften im SPRINGER-VERLAG veröffentlichte, aus Anlaß seines 25. Todestages ehren. Das Wirken Otto Hahns beschränkte sich nicht auf den Bereich der Wissenschaft: In den 30 Lebensjahren nach seiner aufsehenerregenden Entdeckung wandelten sich sein Leben und seine Ansichten über Wissenschaft grundlegend. Er verließ den Elfenbeinturm, um sich politisch zu engagieren und für seine Erkenntnis einzutreten, daß die Menschheit nicht mit der Atomspaltung und dem Krieg leben kann. 312 pp. Deutsch.

Leider ist es eine verbreitete Arbeitsweise, daß die Autoren als Spezialisten die für sie triviale Kenntnis dieser Abkürzungen voraussetzen. Für den nicht spezialisierten Leser bereiten diese Abkürzungen daher gewisse Verständnisprobleme. Das Gmelin-Institut für Anorganische Chemie der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft hat aus der Literatur des Zeitraums 1950-1990 eine Sammlung solcher Abkürzungen erarbeitet. Im vorliegenden Buch sind mehr als 4000 Abkürzungen für Methoden und Begriffe aus Chemie, Physik und Mathematik und über 4000 Abkürzungen für chemische Verbindungen (insbesondere Komplexbildner und Standard-Substanzen physikalischer Meßmethoden) zusammengestellt. Mit GABCOM und GABMET können Leser und Autoren feststellen, was mit einer speziellen Abkürzung gemeint ist, bzw. ob die von ihnen gewählte Abkürzung nicht schon für andere Verfahren oder Verbindungen benutzt wird.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -It is now more than twenty-five years since object-oriented programming was 'inve- ed' (actually, more than thirty years since work on Simula started), but, by all accounts, it would appear as if object-oriented technology has only been 'discovered' in the past ten years! When the first European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming was held in Paris in 1987, I think it was generally assumed that Object-Oriented Progr- ming, like Structured Programming, would quickly enter the vernacular, and that a c- ference on the subject would rapidly become superfluous. On the contrary, the range and impact of object-oriented approaches and methods continues to expand, and, - spite the inevitable oversell and hype, object-oriented technology has reached a level of scientific maturity that few could have foreseen ten years ago. Object-oriented technology also cuts across scientific cultural boundaries like p- haps no other field of computer science, as object-oriented concepts can be applied to virtually all the other areas and affect virtually all aspects of the software life cycle. (So, in retrospect, emphasizing just Programming in the name of the conference was perhaps somewhat short-sighted, but at least the acronym is pronounceable and easy to rem- ber!) This year's ECOOP attracted 146 submissions from around the world - making the selection process even tougher than usual. The selected papers range in topic from programming language and database issues to analysis and design and reuse, and from experience reports to theoretical contributions. 552 pp. Englisch.

Over the past 25years,researchers have proposed several approaches for modelingknowledge in KBS, including several kinds of formalism suchas semantic networks, frames, and logics. In the early1980s, J.F. Sowa introduced the conceptual graph (CG) theorywhich provides a knowledge representation frameworkconsisting of a form of logic with a graph notationandintegrating several features from semantic net and framerepresentations. Since that time, several research teamsover the world have been working on the application andextension of CG theory in various domains ranging fromnatural language processing to database modeling and machinelearning.This volume contains selected papers fromthe internationalconference on Conceptual Structures held in the city ofQuebec, Canada, August 4-7, 1993.

The Meeting was organized by the National Group 'Modelli Nonlineari in Economia e Dinamiche Complesse' of the Italian Ministery of University and SCientific Research, M.U.RS.T. The aim of the Conference, which followed a previous analogous initiative taking place in the very same Certosa, on January 1988\*, was the one of offering a come together opportunity to economists interested in a new mathematical approach to the modelling of economical processes, through the use of more advanced analytical techniques, and mathematicians acting in the field of global dynamical systems theory and applications. A basiC underlying idea drove the organizers: the necessity of fOCUSing on the use that recent methods and results, as those commonly referred to the overpopularized label of 'Chaotic Dynamics', did find in the social sciences domain; and thus to check their actual relevance in the research program of modelling economic phenomena, in order to individuate and stress promising perspectives, as well as to curb excessive hopes and criticize not infrequent cases where research reduces to mechanical, ad hoc, applications of 'a la mode' techniques. In a word we felt the need of looking about the state of the arts in non-linear systems theory applications to economics and social processes: hence the title of the workshop and the volume. 376 pp. Englisch.

Only one formerly recognized entity has been deleted: the monstrocellular sarcoma, because there is immuno cytochemical evidence of its astrocytic nature. Several new tumour types have been added: the pleomorphic xanthoastro cytoma has been generally acknowledged for almost a decade; the neurocytoma has gradually evolved as a clinical-pathological entity; and two new entries, the dysembryoplastic neuroepi thelial tumour and the desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma, have only been characterized morphologically during the past few years. We regard the classification as an international standard to facilitate communication and have tried to avoid current con ceptual controversies. The majority of partiCipants supported inclusion of the term 'primitive neuroectodermal tumour' (pNET). However, because of our limited knowledge of the biol ogy of embryonal CNS tumours, preference was given to use PNET selectively, rather than applying it to all small cell embryo nal childhood tumours, irrespective of their histological pheno type. Ependymomas and meningiomas now have new histological SUbtypes. Most of these are not associated with biological behaviour different from the parent tumour type, but their description will aid the practising pathologist to identify and classify these lesions. 2 Introduction Histological Typing Following the philosophy of this WHO series, classification is based primarily on histological assessment of cell types and tis sue patterns recognized by conventional light microscopy. 132 pp. Englisch.

Visualization is known as the key technology to control massive data sets and to achieve insight into these tera bytes of data. Graphics Modeling is the enabling technology for advanced interaction. This book contains the keynote papers from three internationally well-known invited speakers and a selection of papers submitted to this workshop. Due to the effective scientific contacts between German and Portuguese researchers, and the results from this cooperation, the workshop was also the 2nd Luso-German Meet ing on Computer Graphics. The keynote papers present an excellent overview of the main topics of the workshop. Prof. Rae Earnshaw focuses on Scientific Visualization as an inter disciplinary area of research and application, presenting state of the art concepts and works currently being developed, and the requirements of visualization sys tems in the 90's. Prof. Frank-Lothar Krause presents Product Modeling as the key for information integration in industry, in particular to support CAD-CAM inte gration and CIM. Dr. Rolf Iindner introduces the DEDICATED (DEvelopment of a new DImension in Computer Assisted Teaching and EDucation) project, a European DELTA project with a strong involvement of German and Portuguese partners. 288 pp. Englisch.

Unfortunately, many authors take it for granted that the reader knows the meaning of an abbreviation, something quite trivial for a specialist. For the less informed reader, these abbreviations thus present definite communication problems. The Gmelin Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of the Max Planck Society has collected more than 4000 abbreviations for methods and terms from chemistry, physics and mathematics and more than 4000 chemical compounds (mostly ligands in coordination chemistry and standard reagents for physical and analytical methods). GABCOM and GABMET provide an overview enabling readers and authors to check the definition of an abbreviation used by an author and to see whether this abbreviation is already being used for other purposes. GABCOM and GABMET are also in preparation in electronic form (data file and search software) for IBM-PC or compatible computers. 388 pp. Englisch.
