Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this book, Dr. Andras Sobester reviews the science behind high altitude flight. He takes the reader on a journey that begins with the complex physiological questions involved in taking humans into the 'death zone.' How does the body react to falling ambient pressure Why is hypoxia (oxygen deficiency associated with low air pressure) so dangerous and why is it so difficult to 'design out' of aircraft, why does it still cause fatalities in the 21st century What cabin pressures are air passengers and military pilots exposed to and why is the choice of an appropriate range of values such a difficult problem How do high altitude life support systems work and what happens if they fail What happens if cabin pressure is lost suddenly or, even worse, slowly and unnoticed The second part of the book tackles the aeronautical problems of flying in the upper atmosphere. What loads does stratospheric flight place on pressurized cabins at high altitude and why are these difficult to predict What determines the maximum altitude an aircraft can climb to What is the 'coffin corner' and how can it be avoided The history of aviation has seen a handful of airplanes reach altitudes in excess of 70,000 feet - what are the extreme engineering challenges of climbing into the upper stratosphere Flying high makes very high speeds possible -- what are the practical limits The key advantage of stratospheric flight is that the aircraft will be 'above the weather' - but is this always the case Part three of the book investigates the extreme atmospheric conditions that may be encountered in the upper atmosphere. How high can a storm cell reach and what is it like to fly into one How frequent is high altitude 'clear air' turbulence, what causes it and what are its effects on aircraft The stratosphere can be extremely cold - how cold does it have to be before flight becomes unsafe What happens when an aircraft encounters volcanic ash at high altitude Very high winds can be encountered at the lower boundary of the stratosphere - what effect do they have on aviation Finally, part four looks at the extreme limits of stratospheric flight. How high will a winged aircraft will ever be able to fly What are the ultimate altitude limits of ballooning What is the greatest altitude that you could still bail out from And finally, what are the challenges of exploring the stratospheres of other planets and moons The author discusses these and many other questions, the known knowns, the known unkonwns and the potential unknown unknowns of stratospheric flight through a series of notable moments of the recent history of mankind's forays into the upper atmospheres, each of these incidents, accidents or great triumphs illustrating a key aspect of what makes stratospheric flight aviation at the limit. 215 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Inequalities based on Sobolev Representations deals exclusively with very general tight integral inequalities of Chebyshev-Grüss, Ostrowski types and of integral means, all of which depend upon the Sobolev integral representations of functions. Applications illustrate inequalities that engage in ordinary and weak partial derivatives of the involved functions. This book also derives important estimates for the averaged Taylor polynomials and remainders of Sobolev integral representations. The results are examined in all directions and through both univariate and multivariate cases. This book is suitable for researchers, graduate students, and seminars in subareas of mathematical analysis, inequalities, partial differential equations and information theory. 65 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Approximation by Multivariate Singular Integrals is the first monograph to illustrate the approximation of multivariate singular integrals to the identity-unit operator. The basic approximation properties of the general multivariate singular integral operators is presented quantitatively, particularly special cases such as the multivariate Picard, Gauss-Weierstrass, Poisson-Cauchy and trigonometric singular integral operators are examined thoroughly. This book studies the rate of convergence of these operators to the unit operator as well as the related simultaneous approximation. The last chapter, which includes many examples, presents a related Korovkin type approximation theorem for functions of two variables. Relevant background information and motivation is included in this exposition, and as a result this book can be used as supplementary text for several advanced courses. The results presented apply to many areas of pure and applied mathematics, such a mathematical analysis, probability, statistics and partial differential equations. This book is appropriate for researchers and selected seminars at the graduate level. 79 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Advances on Fractional Inequalities use primarily the Caputo fractional derivative, as the most important in applications, and presents the first fractional differentiation inequalities of Opial type which involves the balanced fractional derivatives. The book continues with right and mixed fractional differentiation Ostrowski inequalities in the univariate and multivariate cases. Next the right and left, as well as mixed, Landau fractional differentiation inequalities in the univariate and multivariate cases are illustrated. Throughout the book many applications are given. Fractional differentiation inequalities are by themselves an important and great mathematical topic for research. Furthermore they have many applications, the most important ones are in establishing uniqueness of solution in fractional differential equations and systems and in fractional partial differential equations. Also they provide upper bounds to the solutions of the above equations.Fractional Calculus has emerged as very useful over the last forty years due to its many applications in almost all applied sciences. This is currently seen in applications in acoustic wave propagation in inhomogeneous porous material, diffusive transport, fluid flow, dynamical processes in self-similar structures, dynamics of earthquakes, optics, geology, viscoelastic materials, bio-sciences, bioengineering, medicine, economics, probability and statistics, astrophysics, chemical engineering, physics, splines, tomography, fluid mechanics, electromagnetic waves, nonlinear control, signal processing, control of power electronic, converters, chaotic dynamics, polymer science, proteins, polymer physics, electrochemistry, statistical physics, rheology, thermodynamics, neural networks, etc. Almost all fields of research in science and engineering use fractional calculus in order to describe results.This book is a part of Fractional Calculus, therefore it is useful for researchers and graduate students for research, seminars and advanced graduate courses, in pure and applied mathematics, engineering and all other applied sciences. 122 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Film and Female Consciousness analyses three contemporary films that offer complex and original representations of women's thoughtfulness and individuality: In the Cut (2003), Lost in Translation (2003) and Morvern Callar (2002). Lucy Bolton compares these recent works with well-known and influential films that offer more familiar treatments of female subjectivity: Klute (1971), The Seven Year Itch (1955) and Marnie (1964). Considering each of the older, celebrated films alongside the recent, unconventional works illustrates how contemporary filmmaking techniques and critical practices can work together to create provocative depictions of on-screen female consciousness.Bolton's approach demonstrates how the encounter between the philosophy of Luce Irigaray and cinema can yield a fuller understanding of the fundamental relationship between film and philosophy. Furthermore, the book explores the implications of this approach for filmmakers and spectators, and suggests Irigarayan models of authorship and spectatorship that reinvigorate the notion of women's cinema. 233 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Global theory represents an influential and popular means of understanding contemporary social and political phenomena. Human identity and social responsibilities are considered in a global context and in the light of a global human condition. A global perspective is assumed to be new and to supersede preceding social theory. However, if contemporary global theory is influential, its identity, assumptions and novelty are controversial. Global Theory from Kant to Hardt and Negri scrutinises global theory by examining how contemporary global theorists simultaneously draw upon and critique preceding modern theories. It re-thinks contemporary global ideas by relating them to the social thought of Kant, Hegel and Marx, and in so doing highlights divergent ambiguous aspects of contemporary global theories, as well as the continuing impact of the ideas of Kant, Hegel and Marx. 208 pp. Englisch.
