Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book is based on the lectures given at the Oberwolfach Seminar on Tropical Algebraic Geometry in October 2004. Tropical Geometry rst appeared as a subject of its own in 2002, while its roots can be traced back at least to Bergman¿s work [1] on logarithmic limit sets. Tropical Geometry is now a rapidly developing area of mathematics. It is int- twined with algebraic and symplectic geometry, geometric combinatorics, in- grablesystems, and statistical physics. Tropical Geometry can be viewed as a sort of algebraic geometry with the underlying algebra based on the so-called tropical numbers. The tropicalnumbers (the term ¿tropical¿ comesfrom computer science and commemorates Brazil, in particular a contribution of the Brazilian school to the language recognition problem) are the real numbers enhanced with negative in nity and equipped with two arithmetic operations called tropical addition and tropical multiplication. The tropical addition is the operation of taking the m- imum. The tropical multiplication is the conventional addition. These operations are commutative, associative and satisfy the distribution law. It turns out that such tropical algebra describes some meaningful geometric objects, namely, the Tropical Varieties. From the topological point of view the tropical varieties are piecewise-linearpolyhedral complexes equipped with a particular geometric str- ture coming from tropical algebra. From the point of view of complex geometry this geometric structure is the worst possible degeneration of complex structure on a manifold.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was triggered by a 9. 15 magnitude earthquake (MELTZNER et al. , 2006; CHLIEH et al. , 2007) that occurred at 0:58:53 GMT, 7:58:53 LT (USGS) (t ). The epicenter was located at 3. 3 N, 95. 8 E (Fig. 1) with a focal depth of EQ approximately 30 km. The earthquake was responsible for a sudden fault slip estimated on average from 12¿15 m (SYNOLAKIS et al. , 2005; LAY et al. , 2005) to 20 m (FU and SUN, 30 2006). The seismic moment estimate (Mo = 1. 3 5 9 10 dyne-cm), based on the Figure 1 Locations of video recordings, recovered clocks, and reliable eyewitness observations. 1: Coastal plains ooded by the tsunami; 2: non- ooded coastal plains; 3: uplands. Insert 3D-map showing the Sumatra Island, the studied area, and the epicenter of the 26/12/2004 earthquake. The video taken at Uteuen Badeue, on the eastern edge of the Banda Aceh Bay, was recorded by the chief of the Fishery Regional Of ce from the top of a cliff. The movie that was shot near the Baiturrahman mosque in downtown Banda Aceh has been shown worldwide on TV. The one at Peukan Bada has been recorded during a wedding party. The last two movies were analyzed in detail in order to calculate the tsunami velocity (FRITZ et al. , 2006).

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Unter den neuen Städten der globalisierten Ökonomie ist Dubai die größte Baustelle der Welt und dies in einer Region, die noch vor Jahrzehnten keinerlei städtische Besiedelung kannte. Weil die Ölvorräte des Emirats limitiert sind, aktivieren die Herrscherfamilien jetzt andere Ressourcen:In Dubai entstehen der größte Freihafen und der größte Flughafen der Welt Signale sich verschiebender geopolitischer Gewichte. Ganze Stadtteile schießen aus dem Boden: Dubai International Financial Centre, Dubai Knowledge City, Dubai Healthcare City . Fachleute aus aller Welt sind beim Aufbau von Universitäten, Krankenhäusern und Kulturstätten tätig. Vor der Küste werden gar Inseln für Luxusimmobilien aufgeschüttet. Internationale Unternehmen konzentrieren sich in den steuerfreien free zones, während Hunderttausende von praktisch rechtlosen Arbeitsmigranten einen Boom ohnegleichen erzeugen. Doch wie lange Dubai Stadt aus dem Nichts gibt einen aktuellen Zwischenbericht mit aufschlußreichen Essays und Interviews, Plänen und Projekten.Elisabeth Blum, Architektin, Autorin.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Optionen, Futures, Swaps, strukturierte Investments - auf den heutigen Finanzmärkten werden eine Fülle so genannter derivativer (abgeleiteter) Finanzinstrumente gehandelt. Deren Bewertung und Risikomanagement sind Gegenstand der modernen Finanzmathematik. Dieses Buch führt an entsprechende Fragestellungen, Denkweisen und Lösungskonzepte heran und legt dabei besonderes Augenmerk auf praxisrelevante Aspekte und Modelle. Die algorithmische Umsetzung der Lösungskonzepte wird in zahlreichen Beispielen mit dem Software-Paket 'UnRisk' illustriert. Dieses wird Dozenten und Studierenden (zeitlich begrenzt) zur Verfügung gestellt und bietet über die Plattform 'Mathematica' eine graphisch ansprechende Oberfläche.Die vorliegende Einführung ist speziell für Veranstaltungen in Bachelor-Studiengängen konzipiert. 166 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland überwachen die Behörden der Länder die Einhaltung der Vorschriften, die für das Inverkehrbringen und die Anwendung von Pflanzenschutzmitteln gelten.Mit dem Pflanzenschutz-Kontrollprogramm wurde ab 2004 eine länderübergreifende Initiative zur Verbesserung der Überwachung pflanzenschutzrechtlicher Vorschriften eingeführt. Ziel ist ein bundesweit harmonisiertes Verfahren bei der Durchführung und Berichterstattung der Kontrollen. Das Programm wird nach gemeinsamen Standards auf Grundlage eines abgestimmten Handbuches durchgeführt. Die Festlegung von Kontrolltatbeständen und die Betriebsauswahl erfolgt durch die Länder; zusätzlich werden jährlich bundesweite Schwerpunktkontrollen festgelegt. Der vorliegende Bericht fasst die Ergebnisse des Jahres 2007 zusammen. 27 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Additive combinatorics is a relatively recent term coined to comprehend the developments of the more classical additive number theory, mainly focussed on problems related to the addition of integers. Some classical problems like the Waring problem on the sum of k-th powers or the Goldbach conjecture are genuine examples of the original questions addressed in the area. One of the features of contemporary additive combinatorics is the interplay of a great variety of mathematical techniques, including combinatorics, harmonic analysis, convex geometry, graph theory, probability theory, algebraic geometry or ergodic theory. This book gathers the contributions of many of the leading researchers in the area and is divided into three parts. The two first parts correspond to the material of the main courses delivered, Additive combinatorics and non-unique factorizations, by Alfred Geroldinger, and Sumsets and structure, by Imre Z. Ruzsa. The third part collects the notes of most of the seminars which accompanied the main courses, and which cover a reasonably large part of the methods, techniques and problems of contemporary additive combinatorics. 348 pp. Englisch.
