Overview: Starting from the basics, provides a coherent and up-to-date account of various quantitative measures of symmetry arising in convex geometry.Contains over 90 challenging problems, with hints and refer.This textbook treats two important and related matters in convex geometry: the quantification of symmetry of a convex set—measures of symmetry—and the degree to which convex sets that nearly minimize such measures of symmetry are themselves nearly symmetric—the phenomenon of stability. By gathering the subject’s core ideas and highlights around Grünbaum’s general notion of measure of sy

Overview: The challenges of space exploration are a great stimulus to our technologies today. Development of successful aerospace programs has required the best efforts of the scientist and engineer in almost every discipline. Not so long ago, it truly could be said that designers are trying to develop tomorrow‘s vehicles with yesterday‘s materials. Unfortunately, we find that the situation remains nearly the same today. The purpose of this conference was to identify materials, proces ses, and methods that show the greatest potential in future space technology and to define the gap between mis

Overview: Surgery in the pelvis freely crosses the boundaries betweenthe disciplines of general and gynecology surgery,colorectal surgery, orthopedic surgery,vasular surgery andneurosurgery. Touching on this wide range ofdisciplines,this book, written by members of the Division of GynecologicSurgery at the Mayo Clinic, is a practical guide to theperformance of pelvic surgery. It documents the varioussurgicaltechniques, described in a step-by-step manner andsupplemented byinformatic illustrations. The book moreoverincludes detailed descriptionsof preoperative managementand assessment, intraoper

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The strength of metallic materials determines the usability and reliability of all the machines, tools and equipment around us. Yet, the question about which mechanisms control the strength and damage resistance of materials and how they can be optimised remains largely unanswered. How do real, heterogeneous ma- rials deform and fail? Why can a small modification of the microstructure increase the strength and damage resistance of materials manifold? How can the strength of heterogeneous materials be predicted? The purpose of this book is to present d

Overview: Provides practical steps to create a self-managed way of organizing in the VUCA world.Includes a reflective question for each chapter to deepen the learning on important theories from West and East.Pr.In this book, experts discuss whether volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) represent a challenge or a business opportunity. More intense debates on global climate change, increased turbulence in financial quarters, increased job insecurity and high levels of stress at the workplace are attracting attention in the context of organization behavior and entrepreneurship.

Overview: This book presents a broad survey of models for critical and catastrophic phenomena in the geosciences, with strong emphasis on earthquakes. It assumes the perspective of statistical physics, which provides the theoretical frame for dealing with complex systems in general. This volume addresses graduate students wishing to specialize in the field and researchers working or interested in the field having a background in the physics, geosciences or applied mathematics.978-3-642-07126-3978-3-540-35375-1Series ISSN 0075-8450 Series E-ISSN 1616-6361

Overview: Die Integration marktorientierter Ziel- und Steuerungsgr??en in das Controlling von Einzelhandelsunternehmen stellt eine zentrale Herausforderung für die Handelswissenschaft und -praxis dar. Doch zur L?sung dieser Integrationsaufgabe bedarf es geeigneter Methoden zur Messung und überwachung von Einflu?gr??en der Einkaufsst?ttenwahl. Karl-Michael Henneking entwickelt ein Me?konzept für das Controlling in Einzelhandelsunternehmen, das verhaltensrelevante Einflu?gr??en der Einkaufsst?ttenwahl mit Hilfe eines dynamischen Ansatzes analysiert und mit geeigneten Methoden kontrolliert. Mit s

Overview: An image or video sequence is a series of two-dimensional (2-D) images sequen- tially ordered in time. Image sequences can be acquired, for instance, by video, motion picture, X-ray, or acoustic cameras, or they can be synthetically gen- erated by sequentially ordering 2-D still images as in computer graphics and animation. The use of image sequences in areas such as entertainment, visual communications, multimedia, education, medicine, surveillance, remote control, and scientific research is constantly growing as the use of television and video systems are becoming more and more com

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The technologies of mobile communications and ubiquitous computing are p- vading our society. Wireless networks are becoming the nerves of our territory, especially in the urban setting; through these nerves, the movement of people and vehicles may be sensed and possibly recorded, thus producing large volumes of mobility data. This is a scenario of great opportunities and risks. On one side, data mining can be put to work to analyse these data, with the purpose of producing useful knowledge in support of sustainable mobility and intelligent transporta

Overview: Brings together digital humanities and modernist studies.Explains the difference between analog and digital media, as well as how it is reflected in modernist writing methods.Discusses works of a rang.While text processing is often associated with the digital humanities, it is still seen as worlds apart from literary modernism and its aesthetic preoccupations. This book upsets that narrative. Examining literary manuscripts from some of the twentieth century‘s best-known and lesser-known novelists, from Marcel Proust to Mina Loy, Alex Christie reveals where authors experimented with p
