Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Design interventions for the reuse of existing structures must face the question of the past and the extent to which it should be included in the design for the future. This is the point of departure of Int | AR, a yearly publication on current issues in international adaptive reuse.The 21st century has witnessed a climate of crisis, most often immediate and unpredictable but, at times, foreseen, impending and even expected. Such events and the ability for continuity, recovery and change, require strength borne from adaptability. This volume explores the idea of resilience, from anticipatory strategies to shock absorption, from the reduction of material needs to the widening of the array of resources, from the liberation of traditional constraints to new forms of collaborations, from built-in redundancies to risk mitigation. The examples range from places of resilience in post-industrial cities and in the suburbs of Paris to the rebuilding of post-war Beirut and different resilient approaches to Italy's and Japan's earthquake experience. Linking the theoretical concept of resilience to the planning practice of adaptive reuse, the volume demonstrates the interdisciplinary usefulness of this concept in the design disciplines.; Entwurfliche Eingriffe in bestehende Bauten stehen immer vor der Frage nach der Gegenwart der Vergangenheit: Wie soll das Alte im Neuen aufscheinen Dies ist der Ausgangspunkt von IntAR, einer jährlichen Publikation zu aktuellen Fragen von Umbau und Umnutzung in den Entwurfsdisziplinen. Das 21. Jahrhundert zeigt sich als eine Zeit der Krisen, meist unberechenbar, doch in manchen Fällen vorhersehbar und sogar erwartet. Um auf Krisenereignisse mit Kontinuität, Stabilisierung und Wandel reagieren zu können, ist die Kraft der Anpassungsfähigkeit verlangt. Dieser Band ist dem Konzept der Resilienz gewidmet: von antizipatorischen Strategien bis zur Schockdämpfung, vom minimierten Materialeinsatz bis zur Ressourcenerweiterung, von vorgesehenen Redundanzen bis zur Risikominderung. Die dargestellten Beispiele reichen von Orten der Resilienz in postindustriellen Städten und in den Pariser Vorstädten über den Wiederaufbau des kriegszerstörten Beirut hin zu unterschiedlichen resilienten Reaktionen auf Erdbeben in Italien und Japan. Der Nutzen des theoretischen Konzepts der Resilienz für die Entwurfsdisziplinen erweist sich hier in seiner Verbindung mit der Planungspraxis des Bauens im Bestand.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -To understand the power of distributed systems, it is necessary to understand their inherent limitations: what problems cannot be solved in particular systems, or without sufficient resources (such as time or space). This book presents key techniques for proving such impossibility results and applies them to a variety of different problems in a variety of different system models. Insights gained from these results are highlighted, aspects of a problem that make it difficult are isolated, features of an architecture that make it inadequate for solving certain problems efficiently are identified, and different system models are compared.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 164 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Contingency tables arise in diverse fields, including life sciences, education, social and political sciences, notably market research and opinion surveys. Their analysis plays an essential role in gaining insight into structures of the quantities under consideration and in supporting decision making. Combining both theory and applications, this book presents models and methods for the analysis of two- and multidimensional-contingency tables.An excellent reference for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and practitioners in statistics as well as biosciences, social sciences, education, and economics, the work may also be used as a textbook for a course on categorical data analysis. Prerequisites include basic background on statistical inference and knowledge of statistical software packages.Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 324 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Inequalities arise as an essential component in various mathematical areas. Besides forming a highly important collection of tools, e.g. for proving analytic or stochastic theorems or for deriving error estimates in numerical mathematics, they constitute a challenging research field of their own. Inequalities also appear directly in mathematical models for applications in science, engineering, and economics. This edited volume covers divers aspects of this fascinating field. It addresses classical inequalities related to means or to convexity as well as inequalities arising in the field of ordinary and partial differential equations, like Sobolev or Hardy-type inequalities, and inequalities occurring in geometrical contexts. Within the last five decades, the late Wolfgang Walter has made great contributions to the field of inequalities. His book on differential and integral inequalities was a real breakthrough in the 1970's and has generated a vast variety of further research in this field. He also organized six of the seven 'General Inequalities' Conferences held at Oberwolfach between 1976 and 1995, and co-edited their proceedings. He participated as an honorary member of the Scientific Committee in the 'General Inequalities 8' conference in Hungary. As a recognition of his great achievements, this volume is dedicated to Wolfgang Walter's memory. The 'General Inequalities' meetings found their continuation in the 'Conferences on Inequalities and Applications' which, so far, have been held twice in Hungary. This volume contains selected contributions of participants of the second conference which took place in Hajdúszoboszló in September 2010, as well as additional articles written upon invitation. These contributions reflect many theoretical and practical aspects in the field of inequalities, and will be useful for researchers and lecturers,as well as for students who want to familiarize themselves with the area. 344 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Many of our daily-life problems can be written in the form of an optimization problem. Therefore, solution methods are needed to solve such problems. Due to the complexity of the problems, it is not always easy to find the exact solution. However, approximate solutions can be found. The theory of the best approximation is applicable in a variety of problems arising in nonlinear functional analysis and optimization. This book highlights interesting aspects of nonlinear analysis and optimization together with many applications in the areas of physical and social sciences including engineering. It is immensely helpful for young graduates and researchers who are pursuing research in this field, as it provides abundant research resources for researchers and post-doctoral fellows. This will be a valuable addition to the library of anyone who works in the field of applied mathematics, economics and engineering.Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 368 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The Finnish mathematician and astronomer Anders Johan Lexell (1740¿1784) was a long-time close collaborator as well as the academic successor of Leonhard Euler at the Imperial Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg. Lexell was initially invited by Euler from his native town of Abo (Turku) in Finland to Saint Petersburg to assist in the mathematical processing of the astronomical data of the forthcoming transit of Venus of 1769. A few years later he became an ordinary member of the Academy. This is the first-ever full-length biography devoted to Lexell and his prolific scientific output. His rich correspondence especially from his grand tour to Germany, France and England reveals him as a lucid observer of the intellectual landscape of enlightened Europe. In the skies, a comet, a minor planet and a crater on the Moon named after Lexell also perpetuate his memory.Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 316 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -We bring into full light some excerpts on musical subjects which were until now scattered throughout the most famous scientific texts. The main scientific and musical cultures outside of Europe are also taken into consideration. The first and most important property to underline in the scientific texts examined here is the language they are written in. This means that our multicultural history of the sciences necessarily also becomes a review of the various dominant languages used in the different historical contexts. In this volume, the history of the development of the sciences is told as it happened in real contexts, not in an alienated ideal world.Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 424 pp. Englisch.…
