Overview: The borderline of quantum electrodynamics and quantum optics offer spectacular results and problems concerning the foundations of radiation theory. Perhaps the major new viewpoint that has emerged from recent investigations is that one can now work inside a time-dependent quantum process, whereas up to now all elementary quantum processes were either stationary, or one worked with asymptotic in-and out-states, i.e. an S-matrix approach. In the-rirst part of this volume, the Quantum Electrodynamics, the present status of the main approaches to this most accurate of all physical theori

Overview: The book serves as an introduction and survey of the field of algorithmic quantifier eliminationGeorge Collins’ discovery of Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition (CAD) as a method for Quantifier Elimination (QE) for the elementary theory of real closed fields brought a major breakthrough in automating mathematics with recent important applications in high-tech areas (e.g. robot motion), also stimulating fundamental research in computer algebra over the past three decades.This volume is a state-of-the-art collection of important papers on CAD and QE and on the related area of algorithm

Overview: Explores the state of art the in philosophy of physics.Details the work and ongoing influence of Itamar Pitowsky.Offers a deep reflection on key ongoing debates in the fieldThis volume provides a broad perspective on the state of the art in the philosophy and conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics. Its essays take their starting point in the work and influence of Itamar Pitowsky, who has greatly influenced our understanding of what is characteristically non-classical about quantum probabilities and quantum logic, and this serves as a vantage point from which they reflect on key

Overview: The object of this NATO Advanced Study Institute was to pre- sent a tutorial ‘introduction both to the basic physics of recent spectacular advances achieved in the field of metrology and to the determination of fundamental physical constants. When humans began to qualify their description of natural phenomena, metrology, the science of measurement, developed along- side geometry and mathematics. However, flam antiquity to modern times, the role of metrology was mostly restricted to the need of commercial, social or scientific transactions of local or at most national scope. Beginning

Overview: Includes supplementary material: IP is clearly emerging as the networking paradigm for the integration of the tr- ?c ?ows generated by a variety of new applications (IP telephony, multimedia multicasting, e-business, ...), whose performance requirements may be extremely di?erent. This situation has generated a great interest in the development of te- niques for the provision of quality of service (QoS) guarantees in IP networks. Two proposals have already emerged from the IETF groups IntServ and Di?- Serv, but research and experiments are continuing, in order to identify the most e?e

Overview: Fast conference proceedings.State-of-the-art report.Up to date resultsThis book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Heterogeneous Networking for Quality, Reliability, Security and Robustness, QShine 2013, which was held in National Capital Region (NCR) of India during January 2013. The 87 revised full papers were carefully selected from 169 submissions and present the recent technological developments in broadband high-speed networks, peer-to-peer networks, and wireless and mobile networks.978-3-642-37948-2978-3-642-3

Overview: In vielen Bereichen der Organisationsentwicklung sind zunehmend differenzierte Forschungsmethoden gefragt - eine quantitative Umfrage, die als Ergebnis Zahlen liefert, kann diesen Ansprüchen oft nicht mehr genügen, da es nicht m?glich ist, auf der Basis von noch fehlenden qualitativen Motiven die richtigen quantitativen Fragen zu stellen. Das Buch beschreibt anhand der wissenschaftstheoretischen Grundlagen die M?glichkeiten der qualitativen Motivforschung in der Praxis sowie ihre Anwendungsbereiche: Produktanalyse (zur Erfassung der Beziehungsstrukturen Konsument-Produkt-Produzent),

Overview: A student‘s first course on quantum mechanics provides the foundation essential for much of his or her future work in physics, be it in atomic, elementary particle, or solid state physics. This introductory textbook contains not only the foundations and many applications of quantum mechanics, but also new aspects and their experimental verification. It has as its particular virtues clarity and conciseness of presentation, while at the same time being self-contained. Comprehensibility is further guaranteed by the inclusion of all the mathematical steps required for a complete understa

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The articles in this book are written versions of talks presented at a conference organized by the TMR network in Corfu. The main theme of the conference was the interconnection between string theory and gauge theory. These very recent developments draw from many aspects of string theory, supergravity and supersymmetric gauge field theory. For students starting their research there is a great deal of background material that they have to absorb in order to be able to follow current developments. With this in mind the editors have included pedagogical

During the past twenty years, tremendous efforts have been made to acquire quantitative geoscience information from ore deposits, geochemical, geophys ical and remotely-sensed measurements. In October 1981, a two-day symposium on "Quantitative Resource Evaluation" and a three-day workshop on "Interactive Systems for Multivariate Analysis an

Overview: The first edition of this book was written as a text and has been used many times in a one-year graduate quantum mechanics course. One of the reviewers has made me aware that the book can also serve as, " . . . in principle, a handbook of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. " In the second edition we have therefore added material to enhance its usefulness as a handbook. But it can still be used as a text if certain chapters and sections are ignored. We have also revised the original presentation, in many places at the suggestion of students or colleagues. As a consequence, the content
