Wasser ist ein besonderes Gestaltungselement in der Freiraumplanung mit einem ausgeprAgt reprAsentativen Charakter. Doch geht es nicht allein darum, im Entwurf an geeigneter Stelle Wasserbecken oder Brunnen einzuzeichnen. Bereits beim Entwerfen muss der Planer sich Gedanken darA1/4ber machen, wo das Wasser herkommt, wo es abgefA1/4hrt wird oder wie es gereinigt wird. Themen: <UL> <LI>Typologie (flieAendes Wasser, stehendes Wasser, a ...

The Hiroshi Wakita Volume II is a special publication to honor Professor Wakita for his scientific contributions to science and to commemorate his 10th anniversary as Emeritus Professor at the University of Tokyo. This volume consists of ten original papers written by researchers from Japan, Germany, Italy, Costa Rica, Sweden, El Salvadore, Turkey, USA, Greece, and Spain dealing with various aspects of the role of terrestrial fluids in ...

The intersection of probability and physics has been a rich and explosive area of growth in the past three decades, specifically covering such subjects as percolation theory, random walks in random environment, disordered systems, interacting particle systems and their many connections to statistical mechanics. The last decade was particularly fruitful for all these topics. This book reflects this development and marks also the first decade of ...

<P>Der <EM>Glasbau</EM> ist eine der innovativsten und abwechslungsreichsten Gebiete der Baukonstruktion. Glas verbindet Außen- und Innenräume - gleichzeitig schützt es den Innenraum vor der Außenwelt. Die konstruktiven Möglichkeiten des Materials reichen weit über klassische Fensterkonstruktionen hinaus. So verfügen spezielle Gläser über erstaunliche physikalische Eigenschaften ...

The Poincaré Seminar is held twice a year at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris. This volume contains the lectures of the 2002 seminars. The main topic of the first one was the vacuum energy, in particular the Casimir effect and the nature of the cosmological constant. The second one concentrated on renormalization, giving a comprehensive account of its mathematical structure and applications to high energy physics, statistical mechanics and ...

Der internationale Wohnungsbau ist nicht länger von standardisierten Lösungen und stilistischen Haltungen geprägt. Heute entstehen unkonventionelle, individuelle Konzepte. Als Grundlagenwerk über Innovationen der letzten ca. 15 Jahre stellt das Buch am Beispiel von etwa 100 realisierten Bauten die Prinzipien, Strategien und Entwurfslösungen von avancierten Raumlösungen dar: vom kostenoptimierten Minimalwohnungsbau ...

Hegnauer's "Chemotaxonomie" provides a handbook for those scientific disciplines concerned not only with systematic botany, but with all aspects of the plant world. The text and bibliography aim to reflect present knowledge of the particularities of plant metabolism. ...

George Boole (1815-1864) is known not only for his research and textbooks on calculus, but also for his innovations in symbolic logic. The utility of "Boolean algebra" in computing has roused curiosity in the nature and extent of his achievements, the most well-known being "A Mathematical Analysis of Logic" and "An Investigation of the Laws of Thought". He also wrote manuscript essays; several of which were intended for a non-technical work "The ...

The Jacobi group is a semidirect product of a symplectic group with a Heisenberg group. It is an important example for a non-reductive group and sets the frame within which to treat theta functions as well as elliptic functions in particular, the universal elliptic curve.<P>This text gathers for the first time material from the representation theory of this group in both local (archimedean and non-archimedean) cases and in the global ...

This book contains the proceedings of the QMath 7 Conference on Mathematical Results in Quantum Mechanics held in Prague, Czech Republic, from June 22 to 26, 1998. The purpose is to draw attention to recent developments in quantum mechanics stemming from its numerous applications, and to related mathematical problems and techniques.This volume is addressed to the broad audience of mathematicians and physicists interested in contemporary quantum ...
