Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Die Anwendung von antibakteriell wirksamen Substanzen in der Veterinärmedizin erfolgt zum einen aus Gründen des Verbraucherschutzes, zum anderen zur Erhaltung der Tiergesundheit. Gleichzeitig führt jeder Einsatz von Antibiotika zur Selektion von bereits bestehenden Resistenzen, auch wird das Entstehen neuer Resistenzmechanismen begünstigt.Aus diesen Gründen müssen nachhaltig wirksame Managementmaßnahmen ergriffen werden, um den Eintrag von resistenten Bakterien insbesondere durch Lebensmittel liefernden Tiere in die menschliche Nahrungskette möglichst gering zu halten bzw. zu vermeiden. Zur Beurteilung der aktuellen Resistenzsituation und ¿entwicklung ist die Erhebung valider Empfindlichkeitsdaten für tierpathogene Bakterien erforderlich. Das Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit (BVL) erhebt diese Daten im Rahmen des Nationalen Resistenzmonitorings (GERM-Vet) seit 2001. Diese Daten ermöglichen es, koordinierende Maßnahmen zu ergreifen und Entscheidungshilfen zur kalkulierten Therapie zu geben.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 156 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book is the third of a series highlighting this topic of major importance for recent developments in geodynamics. Temporal variation of deformation and gravity fields recorded by geodetic measuring techniques (either from ground surface or space) and reflecting isostatic, tectonic or volcanic processes in the earth's interior as well as hydrologic, oceanographic or climatic processes, have made a basic tool for research and monitoring.Part of the papers collected in this topical volume were presented at the 3rd Workshop on 'Deformation and Gravity Change: Indicators of Isostasy, Tectonics, Volcanism and Climate Change' which took place at the Casa de los Volcanes on Lanzarote, Spain, during February 23-26, 2009. The book addresses researchers and graduate students in the Earth sciences, who are interested in surface and crustal processes, as well as geotechnical engineers.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 216 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Theodore von Kármán, geboren 1881 in Budapest und gestorben 1963 in Aachen, gilt als der Wegbereiter der modernen Aerodynamik. Er hatte einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die westliche Rüstungspolitik der 40er und 50er Jahre.Das Buch ist eine erste Biografie über Theodore von Kármán. Sie stützt sich auf bislang unveröffentlichte Originalquellen des rund 150000 Seiten umfassenden Nachlasses.Im Mittelpunkt des Buches steht eine vermeintlich nebensächliche und private Episode aus dem Leben Kármáns: seine Bemühungen um die Ausreise seines Bruders und seiner Schwägerin aus dem kommunistischen Ungarn zu Beginn der 50er Jahre. Im Verlauf dieser sich über Jahre hinziehenden Bemühungen werden Leben und Wirken Kármáns, seine Aktivitäten in den USA und in Europa, seine Beziehung zur Schweiz und seine Stiftung in Bern geschildert.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 260 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book provides a systematic introduction to functions of one complex variable. Its novel feature is the consistent use of special color representations - so-called phase portraits - which visualize functions as images on their domains.Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 360 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book provides a systematic introduction to functions of one complex variable. Its novel feature is the consistent use of special color representations - so-called phase portraits - which visualize functions as images on their domains.Reading Visual Complex Functions requires no prerequisites except some basic knowledge of real calculus and plane geometry. The text is self-contained and covers all the main topics usually treated in a first course on complex analysis. With separate chapters on various construction principles, conformal mappings and Riemann surfaces it goes somewhat beyond a standard programme and leads the reader to more advanced themes.In a second storyline, running parallel to the course outlined above, one learns how properties of complex functions are reflected in and can be read off from phase portraits. The book contains more than 200 of these pictorial representations which endow individual faces to analytic functions. Phase portraits enhance the intuitive understanding of concepts in complex analysis and are expected to be useful tools for anybody working with special functions - even experienced researchers may be inspired by the pictures to new and challenging questions.Visual Complex Functions may also serve as a companion to other texts or as a reference work for advanced readers who wish to know more about phase portraits.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -To date, the theoretical development of q-calculus has rested on a non-uniform basis. Generally, the bulky Gasper-Rahman notation was used, but the published works on q-calculus looked different depending on where and by whom they were written. This confusion of tongues not only complicated the theoretical development but also contributed to q-calculus remaining a neglected mathematical field. This book overcomes these problems by introducing a new and interesting notation for q-calculus based on logarithms.For instance, q-hypergeometric functions are now visually clear and easy to trace back to their hypergeometric parents. With this new notation it is also easy to see the connection between q-hypergeometric functions and the q-gamma function, something that until now has been overlooked.The book covers many topics on q-calculus, including special functions, combinatorics, and q-difference equations. Apart from a thorough review of the historical development of q-calculus, this book also presents the domains of modern physics for which q-calculus is applicable, such as particle physics and supersymmetry, to name just a few.¿Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 508 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Louis Couturat (1868¿1914) was an outstanding intellectual of the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century. He is known for his work in the philosophy of mathematics, for his critical and editorial work on Leibniz, for his attempt to popularise modern logic in France, for his commitment to an international auxiliary language, as well as for his extended correspondence with scholars and mathematicians from Great Britain, the United States, Italy, and Germany. From his correspondence we know of four unpublished manuscripts on logic and its history, which were largely complete and some of which must have been of considerable size. We publish here for the rst time in a critical edition the only one of these manuscripts that has been rediscovered: the Traité de Logique algorithmique, presumably written in the years 1899¿1901. It is a highly interesting document of the academic reception and popularisation of symbolic logic in France. It provides evidence of the discussions and controversies which accompanied the creation of logic as a new branch of science. At the same time it completes the picture of Couturat¿s work, which has been opened up to systematic study by the publication of important parts of his correspondence during the last decade. We append the article on Symbolic Logic of 1902 which Couturat wrote in collaboration with Christine Ladd- Franklin for Baldwin¿s Dictionary of Philosophy and Psychology.Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 328 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The development of the mechanics of space flight brought to life a whole series of fascinating and novel problems. The purpose of this book is to present some interesting and often unexpected achievements that have allowed some classical problems to be reconsidered in a new light. In order to reveal the beauty of the research process leading to the results, the emphasis is put on the analysis that can be carried out on the level of graphs and drawings, and sometimes numbers. Whenever possible, the investigation relies on maximally intuitive, elegant geometric tools. The book can be read profitably by anyone with the mathematical background typically offered in the first few years of undergraduate studies in mathematics, physics and engineering, including students, teachers, scientists and engineers. From the review of the first edition in Priroda by V.I. Arnold and Ya.B. Zeldovich: '.For a solid scientific monograph, V.V. Beletsky¿s book is out of the ordinary in many respects. Without exaggeration we can say that it marks the affirmation of a new style in the scientific literature. The author explains in a frank and detailed manner the reasons behind each calculation, its difficulties, and the psychological side of research. .The general impression that the 'Essays' make is not that of a boring lesson, but rather a discussion with a brilliant, knowledgeable and wise interlocutor.'Springer Basel AG in Springer Science + Business Media, Heidelberger Platz 3, 14197 Berlin 396 pp. Englisch.
