Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Das Lebensmittelmonitoring ist ein gemeinsam von Bund und Ländern durchgeführtes Untersuchungsprogramm, das die amtliche Lebensmittelüberwachung der Bundesländer ergänzt. Während die Lebensmittelüberwachung vor allem durch verdachts- und risikoorientierte Untersuchungen die Einhaltung lebensmittelrechtlicher Vorschriften kontrolliert, ist das Lebensmittelmonitoring ein System wiederholter repräsentativer Messungen und Bewertungen von Gehalten an unerwünschten Stoffen wie Pflanzenschutzmitteln, Schwermetallen und anderen Kontaminanten in und auf Lebensmitteln. Mit Hilfe des Lebensmittelmonitorings können mögliche gesundheitliche Risiken für die Verbraucher erkannt und abgestellt werden.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 88 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In this book an account of the growth theory of subharmonic functions is given, which is directed towards its applications to entire functions of one and several complex variables.The presentation aims at converting the noble art of constructing an entire function with prescribed asymptotic behaviour to a handicraft. For this one should only construct the limit set that describes the asymptotic behaviour of the entire function.All necessary material is developed within the book, hence it will be most useful as a reference book for the construction of entire functions.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 272 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This volume features a collection of papers dedicated to 'Canons of Form-Making', in honor of the 500th anniversary of the birth of architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580). Theorist as well as practitioner, Palladio's architecture was based on well-defined canons that he had gleaned from studying the treatises as well as the remains of architecture from antiquity. Palladio himself left to posterity not only his large corpus of built works, but his Quattro libri d'architettura. Three of the papers in this issue are specifically about Palladio and his work. The other papers deal with canons of form-making, ancient and contemporary.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 176 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Inequalities continue to play an essential role in mathematics. Perhaps, they form the last field comprehended and used by mathematicians in all areas of the discipline. Since the seminal work Inequalities (1934) by Hardy, Littlewood and Pólya, mathematicians have laboured to extend and sharpen their classical inequalities. New inequalities are discovered every year, some for their intrinsic interest whilst others flow from results obtained in various branches of mathematics. The study of inequalities reflects the many and various aspects of mathematics. On one hand, there is the systematic search for the basic principles and the study of inequalities for their own sake. On the other hand, the subject is the source of ingenious ideas and methods that give rise to seemingly elementary but nevertheless serious and challenging problems. There are numerous applications in a wide variety of fields, from mathematical physics to biology and economics.This volume contains the contributions of the participants of the Conference on Inequalities and Applications held in Noszvaj (Hungary) in September 2007. It is conceived in the spirit of the preceding volumes of the General Inequalities meetings held in Oberwolfach from 1976 to 1995 in the sense that it not only contains the latest results presented by the participants, but it is also a useful reference book for both lecturers and research workers. The contributions reflect the ramification of general inequalities into many areas of mathematics and also present a synthesis of results in both theory and practice.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 368 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book is of interest to academic and industrial researchers but also clinicians who are working on inflammation related topics and would like to extend their knowledge about microarrays and the application thereof. After reading the book a researcher or clinician should be in the position to plan, perform and analyse or to critically review microarray experiments related to inflammation research.So far, non of the published books covers all aspects which need to be taken into account when planning and performing a microrray experiment in inflammation research. Normally, for a researcher or clinician doing a microarray experiment it is not enough to have knowledge about microarrays , as the experiment does not start with purified and quality controlled RNA and does not end with signal intensities. Things like appropriate cell sorting techniques, stabilisation and transport of RNA or cells, the knowledge how to deal with whole blood as well as options for automation are crucial for a successful application of microarrays. Moreover these aspects are the main obstacles for transferring microarray based inflammation analysis from bench to bedside and the limiting factors for higher through put as needed in multicenter studies.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 248 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -the recent IWOTA meetings, IWOTA 2006 was focused on a few special themes, without loss of the general IWOTA mission. Our special interest areas were Hilbert/Krein space operator theory; Complex function theory related to Hilbert space operators; Systems theory related to Hilbert space operators. This volume contains 16 contributions, which re ect the recent development in operator theory and applications. The organizers gratefully acknowledge the support of the following institutions: KRF (Korea Research Foundation); Department of Mathematics, Seoul National University; Research Institute of Mathematics, Seoul National University.

One can associate to a rational function which is moreover strictly positive on the unit circle two sequences of numbers in the open unit disk, called the Szeg¿ o sequence and the Nehari sequence. In the scalar case, they coincide up to multiplication by 1. We study the corresponding result in the matrix-valued case. Mathematics Subject Classi cation (2000). Primary: 34A55, 49N45, 70G30; Secondary: 93B15, 47B35. Keywords. Inverse problems, scattering matrix, Schurparameters, state space method, extension problems. 1. Introduction Letw(z) be a scalar rational function strictly positive on the unit circle. One can associate to it an in nite sequence of numbers in the open unit disk, called in [1] a Szeg¿ o sequence. This sequence characterizes in a unique wayw(z)providedsome normalization is chosen; we will take 2 1 it w(e )dt=1.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 260 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The volume contains the proceedings of the OTAMP 2006 (Operator Theory, Analysis and Mathematical Physics) conference held at Lund University in June 2006. The conference was devoted to the methods of analysis and operator theory in modern mathematical physics. The following special sessions were organized: Spectral analysis of Schrödinger operators; Jacobi and CMV matrices and orthogonal polynomials; Quasi-periodic and random Schrödinger operators; Quantum graphs.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 456 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Active touch perception, or haptic perception, is of primary importance for the planning, direction and execution of everyday actions. This complex human sensory system is gaining ever more importance for various scientific disciplines as well as practical industrial applications. An international team of 80 authors presents a comprehensive collection of writings on both aspects of research on human haptic perception.After a theoretical and historical introduction, the chapters are dedicated to neurophysiological, psychological, clinical and neuropsychological aspects of haptic perception. Results of studies into human haptic perception in the fields of virtual haptics and robotics are also included. Finally, contributions from the applied and industrial sectors illustrate the practical uses of knowledge about the human sense of touch.This easily accessible textbook gives not only students, scientists and those with prior knowledge, but also interested laypersons insights into a fascinating area of study. 688 pp. Englisch.
