This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Harmonic analysis and probability have long enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship that has been rich and fruitful. This monograph, aimed at researchers and students in these fields, explores several aspects of this relationship. The primary focus of the text is the nontangential maximal function and the area function of a harmonic function and their probabilistic analogues in martingale theory. The text first gives the requisite background material from harmonic analysis and discusses known results concerning the nontangential maximal function and area function, as well as the central and essential role these have played in the development of the field.The book next discusses further refinements of traditional results: among these are sharp good-lambda inequalities and laws of the iterated logarithm involving nontangential maximal functions and area functions. Many applications of these results are given. Throughout, the constant interplay between probability and harmonic analysis is emphasized and explained. The text contains some new and many recent results combined in a coherent presentation. 209 pp. Englisch.

Reasenberg demonstrated that in Cascadia earthquakes are four times more likely to be foreshocks than in California. Many speakers emphasized the regional differences in all earthquake parameters, and it was generally understood that basic models of the earthquake occurrence must be modified for regional application. The idea that the focal mechanisms of foreshocks may differ from that of background activity was advocated by Y. Chen and identified by M. Ohtake as possibly the thus far most neglected property of foreshocks, in efforts to identify them. S. Matsumura proposed that focal mechanism patterns of small earthquakes may differ character istically near locked fault segments into which fault creep is advancing. Considerable discussion was devoted to the status of the seismic gap hypothesis because M. Wyss argued that the occurrence of the M 7. 9, 1986, Andreanof Islands earthquake was a confirmation of Reid's rebound theory of earthquakes and thus of the time predictable version of the gap hypothesis, whereas Y. Kagan believed he could negate this view by presenting a list of nine earthquake pairs with M 7. 4, moment centroid separation of less than 100 km, and time difference less than about 60% of the time he estimated it would take plate motions to restore the slip of the first event. 526 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Second Monte Verita Colloquium Fundamental Problematic Issues in Turbu lence was held in Monte Verita, Switzerland, on March 23-27, 1998. The main goal of the Colloquium was to bring together in the relaxed atmo sphere of Monte Verita a group of leading scientists (consisting of representatives of different generations) and to discuss informally and free of the influence of funding agencies and/or other 'politics' of nonscientific nature the basic issues of turbulence. The intention was to put major emphasis on the exposition of the problematic aspects and discussion(s) - not mere reporting of results, i. e. not hav ing just one more meeting. For this purpose it was originally thought to leave all the afternoons free of formal presentations at all. However, this intention became unrealistic due to a number of reasons, and, in the first place, due to strong pres sure from various parts of the scientific community and non-scientific constraints to broaden the scope and to increase the number of participants as compared to the First Colloquium held in 1991. This resulted in a considerable reduction of time for discussions. Nevertheless, the remaining time for discussions was much larger than usually allocated at scientific conferences. On the scientific side the main idea was to bring together scientists work ing in turbulence from different fields, such as mathematics, physics, engineering and others. In this respect the Colloquium was definitely very successful and re sulted in a number of interesting interactions and contacts. 480 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Der Einkaufswagen gleitet durch ein Reich der Delika tessen, vorbei an exotischen Früchten und Gemüsen, entlang an der Käsetheke mit internationalen Speziali täten, am neuen Stand mit Ökoquark und Biofleisch, an Knabbereien und Pralinen, an der üppig gefüllten Kühltruhe mit den Speiseeiskreationen. Nie zuvor war die Auswahl so groß, so appetitlich, so verführerisch. Sanft säuselt eine Melodie aus dem Lautsprecher. In diesem Ambiente scheint sich eine Frage zu verbieten: Geht es eigentlich mit rechten Dingen zu, daß in so un endlich vielen Läden jederzeit all diese verlockenden und halbwegs erschwinglichen Leckerbissen aus aller Welt auf uns warten Wir ahnen und fürchten die Antwort. Nein, es geht nicht mit rechten Dingen zu. Der Lebensweg der Wa ren, die so harmlos und hygienisch in den Regalen locken, verstößt allzu oft gegen das Leitbild einer nach haltigen Entwicklung, die auch den nächsten Genera tionen Lebenschancen erhält. Drastischer ausge drückt: Für ihr überreichliches Warenarsenal führt die westliche Welt Krieg gegen die Natur, gegen die weni ger privilegierten Länder, gegen die Zukunft - und letztlich gegen sich selbst. Sie führt ihn mit schweren Maschinen, mit chemischen und neuerdings auch mit biotechnischen Waffen. Was auf den Feldern der fünf Kontinente wächst und blüht, bestimmen zunehmend Industrieunterneh men: Da gibt es die Tomate, die elf Kilogramm Druck aushält und mit dem Mähdrescher geerntet werden kann.Birkhäuser Verlag GmbH, Im Westfeld 8, 4055 Basel 240 pp. Deutsch.
