Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Award-winning monograph of the Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Prize 2001.Subgroup growth studies the distribution of subgroups of finite index in a group as a function of the index. In the last two decades this topic has developed into one of the most active areas of research in infinite group theory; this book is a systematic and comprehensive account of the substantial theory which has emerged.As well as determining the range of possible 'growth types', for finitely generated groups in general and for groups in particular classes such as linear groups, a main focus of the book is on the tight connection between the subgroup growth of a group and its algebraic structure.A wide range of mathematical disciplines play a significant role in this work: as well as various aspects of infinite group theory, these include finite simple groups and permutation groups, profinite groups, arithmetic groups and Strong Approximation, algebraic and analytic number theory, probability, and p-adic model theory. Relevant aspects of such topics are explained in self-contained 'windows'. 480 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -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 classical mechanics.Students will find excellent introductions to the subjects with further lectures leading to the frontiers of experimental and theoretical research, scientists will profit from contributions by outstanding experts.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 344 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Since the introduction of ciprofloxacin in 1987, fluoroquinolones have expanded far beyond their early role in the treatment of urinary tract infections. Clinical applications beyond genitourinary tract infections include upper and lower respiratory infections, gastrointestinal infections, gynecologic infec tions, sexually transmitted diseases, and some skin and soft tissue infections. Their ease of administration, favorable pharmacokinetic properties, excellent tolerability, and efficacy give them enormous potential for use and misuse alike. Quinolones have few common adverse effects, most notably nausea, headache and dizziness. Less frequent but more serious adverse events include prolongation of the corrected QT interval, phototoxicity, liver enzyme abnor malities, arthropathy, and cartilage and tendon abnormalities. While possess ing many of the favorable properties of intravenous agents, most fluoro quinolones offer the convenience of oral administration, thus contributing to decreased health-care costs through increased outpatient therapy and short ened hospital stays. With the recent introduction of agents such as gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin, the traditional Gram-negative coverage of fluoroquinolones has been expanded to include Gram-positive organisms, most importantly Streptococcus pneumoniae.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 276 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Over the last years, stochastic analysis has had an enormous progress with the impetus originating from different branches of mathematics: PDE's and the Malliavin calculus, quantum physics, path space analysis on curved manifolds via probabilistic methods, and more.This volume contains selected contributions which were presented at the 8th Silivri Workshop on Stochastic Analysis and Related Topics, held in September 2000 in Gazimagusa, North Cyprus.The topics include stochastic control theory, generalized functions in a nonlinear setting, tangent spaces of manifold-valued paths with quasi-invariant measures, and applications in game theory, theoretical biology and theoretical physics.Contributors: A.E.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Mit Hilfe der Bioinformatik können ermittelte DNA-, RNA- oderAminosäuresequenzen hinsichtlich Struktur und Funktion schnelleingeschätzt werden; das spart Kosten und Zeit bei weiterführendenExperimenten im Labor.Das vorliegende Buch gliedert sich in einen RNA- und einen Protein-Teil.Je ein Kapitel führt das biologische Thema der Strukturvorhersageinklusive biophysikalischer Grundlagen der Vorhersagemethoden ein.Folgekapitel gehen auf die informationstechnischen Methoden mit einemmöglichst kurzen Beispiel ein, stellen den meist komplizierterenAlgorithmus zur Lösung des biologischen Problems vor und diskutieren zumAbschluss mindestens eine Implementation und damit erzielbare Ergebnisseanhand eines biologischen Beispiels.Das Buch ist gleichermassen für Biologen und Informatiker relevant, daes sowohl einen Überblick über die aktuellen Möglichkeiten derStrukturvorhersage gibt als auch den Einsatz von unterschiedlichsteninformationstechnischen Methoden in der Biologie demonstriert.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 316 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Among all the Hamiltonian systems, theintegrable ones have special geometric properties; in particular, their solutions are very regular and quasi-periodic. The quasi-periodicity of the solutions of an integrable system is a result of the fact that the system is invariant under a (semi-global) torus action. It is thus natural to investigate the symplectic manifolds that can be endowed with a (global) torus action. This leads to symplectic toric manifolds (Part B of this book). Physics makes a surprising come-back in Part A: to describe Mirror Symmetry, one looks for a special kind of Lagrangian submanifolds and integrable systems, the special Lagrangians. Furthermore, integrable Hamiltonian systems on punctured cotangent bundles are a starting point for the study of contact toric manifolds (Part C of this book). 226 pp. Englisch.
