    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Scattering theory is, roughly speaking, perturbation theory of self-adjoint operators on the (absolutely) continuous spectrum. It has its origin in mathematical problems of quantum mechanics and is intimately related to the theory of partial differential equations. Some recently solved problems, such as asymptotic completeness for the Schrödinger operator with long-range and multiparticle potentials, as well as open problems, are discussed. We construct also potentials for which asymptotic completeness is violated. This corresponds to a new class of asymptotic solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. Special attention is paid to the properties of the scattering matrix, which is the main observable of the theory. The book is addressed to readers interested in a deeper study of the subject. 192 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book systematically develops the nonlinear potential theory connected with the weighted Sobolev space Wm,pw( ), where the weight usually belongs to Muckenhoupt's class of Ap weights. These spaces occur as solutions spaces for degenerate elliptic partial differential equations. The Sobolev space theory covers results concerning approximation, extension, and interpolation, Sobolev and Poincare inequalities, Maz'ya type embedding theorems, and isoperimetric inequalities. In the chapter devoted to potential theory, several weighted capacities are investigated. Moreover, 'Kellogg lemmas' are established for various concepts of thinness. Applications of potential theory to weighted Sobolev spaces include quasi continuity of Sobolev functions, Poincare inequalities, and spectral synthesis theorems. 196 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Learning Classifier Systems (LCS) are amachine learning paradigm introduced by John Holland in 1976. They are rule-based systems in which learning is viewed as a process of ongoing adaptation to a partially unknown environment through genetic algorithms and temporal difference learning. This book provides a unique survey of the current state of the art of LCS and highlights some of the most promising research directions. The first part presents various views of leading people on what learning classifier systems are. The second part is devoted to advanced topics of current interest, including alternative representations, methods for evaluating rule utility, and extensions to existing classifier system models. The final part is dedicated to promising applications in areas like data mining, medical data analysis, economic trading agents, aircraft maneuvering, and autonomous robotics. An appendix comprising 467 entries provides a comprehensive LCS bibliography. 364 pp. Englisch.

It was organized in Oulu, Finland, June 20-22, 2000. The PROFES conference has its roots in the PROFES Esprit project , but by 1999 it had already evolved into a full- edged general purpose conference gaining wide-spread international popularity. ThemainthemeofPROFES2000wasprofessionalsoftwareprocessimpro- ment (SPI) motivated by product and service quality needs. SPI is facilitated by softwareprocessassessment,softwaremeasurement,processmodeling, andte- nology transfer and has become a practical tool for quality software engineering and management. The conference addresses both the solutions found in practice aswellasrelevantresearchresultsfromacademia.Thepurposeoftheconference is to bring into the light the most recent ndings and results of the area and to stimulate discussion between the researchers, experienced professionals, and technology providers for SPI. WiththetremendousgrowthofInternetandtelecommunicationapplications, it is ever more important to emphasize the quality in softwareproducts and p- cesses.With plenty of new people andnew software-basedapplications emerging at a very fast pace, it is easy to forget the importance of product and process improvement,and to repeat the same mistakesalreadymade in moretraditional software development. The PROFES conference has addressed this issue by - plicitly enhancing the conferencetopicstowardsInternetandtelecommunication applications. Another important addition is the Learning Software Organizations (LSO2000) workshop, which was organized in conjunction with PROFES 2000. TheLSOworkshopseriesisacommunicationforumthataddressesthe questions of organizational learning from a software point of view and builds upon exi- ing work on knowledge management and organizational learning.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -After a decade of major technical and theoretical advancements in the area, the scope for exploitation of database technology has never been greater. Neither has the challenge. This volume contains the proceedings of the 17th British National Conference on Databases (BNCOD 2000), held at the University of Exeter in July 2000. In selecting the quality papers presented here, the programme committee was p- ticularly interested in the demands being made on the technology by emerging application areas, including web applications, push technology, multimedia data, and data warehousing. The concern remains the same: satisfaction of user - quirements on quality and performance. However, with increasing demand for timely access to heterogeneous data distributed on an unregulated Internet, new challenges are presented. Our three invited speakers develop the theme for the conference, considering new dimensions concerning user requirements in accessing distributed, hete- geneous information sources. In the rst paper presented here, Gio Wiederhold re ects on the tension between requirements for, on the one hand, precision and relevance and on the other completeness and recall in relating data from heterogeneous resources. In resolving this tension in favour of the former, he maintains that this will fundamentally a ect future research directions. Sharma Chakravarthy adds another dimension to the requirement on inf- mation, namely timeliness. He shares a vision of just-in-time information de- vered by a push technology based on reactive capabilities. He maintains that this requires a paradigm shift to a user-centric view of information. 264 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume contains the proceedings of MPC 2000, the fth international c- ference on Mathematics of Program Construction. This series of conferences aims to promote the development of mathematical principles and techniques that are demonstrably useful and usable in the process of constructing c- puter programs (whether implemented in hardware or software). The focus is on techniques that combine precision with concision, enabling programs to be constructed by formal calculation. Within this theme, the scope of the series is very diverse, including programming methodology, program speci cation and transformation, programming paradigms, programming calculi, and progr- ming language semantics. The quality of the papers submitted to the conference was in general very high. However,the number of submissions has decreased compared to the pre- ous conferences in the series. Each paper was refereed by at least ve and often more committee members. In order to maintain the high standards of the c- ference the committee took a stringent view on quality; this has meant that, in some cases, a paper was rejected even though there was a basis for a good c- ference or journal paper but the submitted paper did not meet the committee's required standards. In a few cases a good paper was rejected on the grounds that it did not t within the scope of the conference. 272 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Virtual Worlds 2000 is the second in a series of international scientific conferences on virtual worlds held at the International Institute of Multimedia in Paris La Défense (Pôle Universitaire Léonard de Vinci). The term 'virtual worlds' generally refers to virtual reality applications or experi ences. We extend the use of these terms to describe experiments that deal with the idea of synthesizing digital worlds on computers. Thus, virtual worlds could be de fined as the study of computer programs that implement digital worlds. Constructing such complex artificial worlds seems to be extremely difficult to do in any sort of complete and realistic manner. Such a new discipline must benefit from a large amount of work in various fields: virtual reality and advanced computer graphics, artificial life and evolutionary computation, simulation of physical systems, and more. Whereas virtual reality has largely concerned itself with the design of 3D immersive graphical spaces, and artificial life with the simulation of living organisms, the field of virtual worlds, is concerned with the synthesis of digital universes considered as wholes, with their own 'physical' and 'biological' laws. 332 pp. Englisch.

Cooperative information agent research and development focused originally onaccessingmultiple,heterogeneous,anddistributedinformationsources. Ga- ingaccesstothesesystems,throughInternetsearchengines,applica tionprogram interfaces, wrappers, and web-based screens has been an important focus of - operative intelligent agents. Research has also focused on the integration of this information into a coherent model that combined data and knowledge from the multiple sources. Finally, this information is disseminated to a wide audience, giving rise to issues such as data quality, information pedigree, source reliability, information security, personal privacy, and information value. Research in - operative information agents has expanded to include agent negotiation, agent communities, agent mobility, as well as agent collaboration for information d- covery in constrained environments. TheinterdisciplinaryCIAworkshopseriesencompassesa widevarietyoft- ics dealing with cooperative information agents. All workshop proceedings have been published by Springer as Lecture Notes in Arti cial Intelligence, Volumes 1202 (1997), 1435 (1998), and 1652 (1999), respectively. This year, the theme of the CIA workshop was ''The Future of Information Agents in Cyberspace', a very tting topic as the use of agents for information gathering, negotiation, correlation, fusion, and dissemination becomes ever more prevalent. We noted a marked trend in CIA 2000 towards addressing issues related to communities of agents that: (1) negotiate for information resources, (2) build robust ontologies to enhance search capabilities, (3) communicate for planning and problem so- ing, (4) learn and evolve based on their experiences, and (5) assume increasing degrees of autonomy in the control of complex systems. 684 pp. Englisch.

Das Nagelungsprinzip war bisher am Hume russchaft nicht unbekannt, fand aber nicht die weit verbreitete Zustimmung, wie sie inzwischen an Femur und Tibia festzustellen ist. 1m Gegenteil- sowohl die Indikation zur Operation wie auch die Wahl des Operationsverfahrens werden bis heute lebhaft und kontrovers diskutiert. Die Forderung nach biologischer Osteosynthese, insbesondere nach frakturfernen operativen Zugangen und weichteilschonenden Techniken, lasst die verschiedenen intramedullaren Verfahren fur den Humerusschaft an Attraktivitat bedeutender wer den. Andererseits ist die Kritik an deren Stabilitat, insbesondere Rotationsstabilitat, gerade im Vergleich zur Plattenosteosynthese nicht zu verharmlosen. Die Entwicklung eines neuen Marknagelsystems flir die Humerusschaftfraktur, des ungebohrten Humerusnagels (UHN), mit statischen Verriegelungsoptionen, ver spricht diesem Kritikpunkt Rechnung zu tragen. Diese Stu die hat die Aufgabe, insbesondere flir den Kliniker die Fragen zu beant worten, die sich hinsichtlich der Steifigkeit des Marknagelsystems im Knochen, also seiner Stabilisierungspotenz im Falle einer Humerusschaftfraktur ergeben. Neben den biomechanischen Kernstudien werden erste Ergebnisse im Umgang mit diesem neuen Marknagelsystem und die Komplikationen bei den ersten Einsat zen des Nagels im operativen Alltag prasentiert. Eine kritische Diskussion soli insbe sondere das Indikationsspektrum des Nagels unter dem Gesichtspunkt klinischer und biomechanischer Erfahrung und deren Beleuchtung im Kontext aktueller wis senschaftlicher Literatur herausarbeiten. Dieses Manuskript entspricht grundlegend der Habilitationsschrift des Erstauto ren, die 1998 der Medizinischen Fakultat der Johannes-Gutenberg-Universitat Mainz vorgelegt wurde. 132 pp. Deutsch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die mediale, intrakapsuHire Schenkelhalsfraktur ist die klassische 'unsol ved fracture', wobei sich die Aspekte in der Betrachtungsweise des Pro blemkreises seit Nicolls Arbeit mit selbigem Titel -aus dem Jahre 1963 wesentlich verandert haben. Damals standen vor allem die Pseudarthrosen als Hauptkomplikationen im Mittelpunkt des Interesses. Dass die Heilung dieser Frakturen nach Osteosynthesen mit 'dynamischen' Schraubensy stemen mit gutem funktionellen Ergebnis die Regel ist, wird heute niemand mehr bestreiten. Das gegenwartige Hauptproblem ist die avaskulare Hiiftkopfnekrose (AHN), sowohl nach funktioneller Behandlung von impaktierten, stabilen Briichen als auch nach Osteosynthese von dislozierten, instabilen Fraktu ren. Schon bei dieser Feststellung werfen sich die ersten Fragen zur Genese dieser typischen Komplikation auf. Nach den bisherigen Vorstellungen und anatomischen Studien ist eine Hiiftkopfnekrose nur bei dislozierten Frak turen mit Verletzung der EpiphysengefaBe zu erwarten. Nach konservativer Behandlung von stabilen Frakturen kommt es in 11- 18% der FaIle zu Hiiftkopfnekrosen. Was ist die Ursache dieser Nekrosen und warum entsteht nicht in jedem Fall bei dislozierten Frakturen mit Frakturver lauf durch den Eintritt der EpiphysengefaBe in den Oberschenkelkopf eine Nekrose Gibt es Revaskularisationsphanomene und wie kann man sie dar stellen Diese Fragen, ebenso wie die Frage nach der Rolle des Osteosynthese implantates fiir Stabilitat und Vaskularisation, sind neben der Perfusionssto rung durch das Hamarthros in der Kapsel in diesem Themenkomplex immer wieder Anlass fUr lebhafte Diskussionen, die am Ende meist ohne wissen schaftliche Absicherung mit weiteren offenen Fragen enden. 152 pp. Deutsch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Die Bronchitis ist eine der häufigsten Erkrankungen der Atmungsorgane, die bei gegebenen Risikofaktoren (prädisponierende Genetik, inhalative Noxen) zum chronischen Verlauf neigt. Angesichts der Tatsache, dass die chronische Bronchitis in unserer Gesellschaft inzwischen die Bedeutung einer Volkskrankheit erlangt hat, sind Maßnahmen zur Prävention sowie die Behandlung von großer Bedeutung. Aufgrund neuer Erkenntnisse spielt der 'oxidative Stress' in der Pathogenese dieses Bronchialleidens eine bedeutende Rolle. Die Behandlung der Bronchitis muss darum auch antioxidativ ausgerichtet sein. Freie Radikale sollten eliminiert und damit deren zytotoxischer Effekt auf die Bronchialschleimhaut und das Lungenparenchym verhindert werden. Die effektive Bronchitistherapie mit einem pflanzlichen Mukopharmakon steht im Mittelpunkt dieses praxisorientierten Buches. 116 pp. Deutsch.

Furthermore, 17 new problems have been added, at the end of chapters 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14. The answers to these 17 problems have not been listed in the 'Answers' section at the end of the book. This will permit the problems to be used as hand-in problems or perhaps in mid-term exams. JMK EUR9 PGH Copenhagen May 2000 Preface to the Second Edition In the second edition, a number of misprints that appeared in the first edition have been corrected. In addition to this, we have made improvements based on the experience gathered in the use of the first English edition of the book in the introductory course in physics at the University of Copenhagen. A chapter introducing nonlinear dynamics has been added. The purpose of this chapter is to provide supplementary reading for the students who are interested in this area of active research, where Newtonian mechanics plays an essential role. The students who wish to dig deeper, should consult texts dedicated to the study of nonlinear dynamical systems and chaos. The literature list at the end of this book contains several references for the topic. 472 pp. Englisch.

    Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Developments in network and switching technologies have made telecommu- cations systems and services far more data intensive. This can be observed in many telecommunications areas, such as network management, service mana- ment, and service provisioning. For example, in the area of network management the complexity of modern networks leads to large amounts of data on network topology, con guration, equipment settings, etc. In addition, switches generate large amounts of data on network tra c, faults, etc. In the area of service ma- gement it is the registration of customers, customer contacts, service usage (e.g. call detail records (CDRs)) that leads to large databases. For mobile services there is the additional tracking and tracing of mobile equipment. In the area of service provisioning there are the enhanced services like for example UMTS, the next generation of mobile networks, but also the deployment of data intensive services on broadband networks such as video-on-demand, high quality video conferencing, and e-commerce infrastructures. This results in very large databases growing at high rates especially in new service areas. The integration of network control, network management, and network administration also leads to a situation where database technology gets into the core of the network (e.g. in architectures like TMN, IN, and TINA). 224 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Communities are groupings of distributed objects that are capable of com- nicating, directly or indirectly, through the medium of a shared context. To support communities on a wide scale will require developments at all levels of computing, from low-level communication protocols supporting transparent - cess to mobile objects, through to distributed operating systems, through to high-level programming models allowing complex interaction between objects. This workshop brought together researchers interested in the technical issues of supporting communities. This workshop was the third in the DCW series. The rst two, entitled D- tributed Computing on the Web, took place in 1998 and 1999 at the University of Rostock, with proceedings published by the University of Rostock Press. This year, the workshop also incorporated the ISLIP (International Symposium on Languages for Intensional Programming) symposium. The ISLIP symposia have taken place every year since 1988, and have led to two volumes published by World-Scienti c (Intensional Programming I, 1995, and Intensional Progr- ming II, 2000). While the two conferences emerged from di erent needs, their focus merged to such an extent that it became clear that a joint conference promised to o er great opportunities. 216 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume contains the proceedings of the ninth international workshop on logic-based program synthesis and transformation (LOPSTR'99) which was held in Venice (Italy), September 22-24, 1999. LOPSTRistheannualworkshopandforumforresearchersinthelogic-based program development stream of computational logic. The main focus used to be on synthesis and transformation of logic programs, but the workshop is open to contributions on logic-based program development in any paradigm. Previous workshops were held in Manchester, UK (1991, 1992), Louvain-la-Neuve, B- gium (1993), Pisa, Italy (1994), Arnhem, The Netherlands (1995), Stockholm, Sweden (1996), Leuven, Belgium (1997), and Manchester, UK (1998). LOPSTR is a real workshop in the sense that it is a friendly and lively forum for presenting recent and current research as well as discussing future trends. Formal proceedings of the workshop are produced only after the workshop and contain only those papers selected by the program committee after a second refereeing process. The program committee of LOPSTR'99 accepted 20 extended abstracts for presentation at the workshop; then selected 14 papers for inclusion in the po- workshop proceedings. Selected papers cover all the main streams of LOPSTR's topics: synthesis, specialization, transformation, analysis, and veri cation. Ve- cation, transformation, and specialization methods are applied to functional, constraint, logic, and imperative programming. 328 pp. Englisch.
