The memory storage requirements of complex programs are extremely difficult to manage correctly by hand. A single error may lead to indeterminate and inexplicable program crashes. Worse still, failures are often unrepeatable and may surface only long after the program has been delivered to the customer. The eradication of memory errors typically consumes a substantial amount of development time. And yet the answer is relatively easy - garbage ...

Management for the Construction Industry introduces the principles of management and applies them to the construction industry. It covers the level 2 module of the CIOB's Education Framework on management and is officially sanctioned by the CIOB as the recognised text for that module. The text builds on the knowledge of basic disciplines, such as technology, economics and law, and forms the basis for more advanced studies in specialist aspects...

In this challenging study Priscilla Martin investigates the subjects of women, sex and gender in Chaucer's poetry. She argues convincingly that these are Chaucer's major subjects and that he presents them as an area of human experience fraught with problems. Women, instead of producing texts and meanings themselves, are trapped in the books and meanings of others, and so the Madonna and the courtly heroine, the nun and the wife, are familiar b...

This is a proceedings volume of the conference celebrating the 90th anniversary of the birth of Kurt Goedel. The conference has been recognized as an ASL sponsored meeting. Invited papers and contributed papers concern mainly mathematical logic but also philosophy of mathematics, computer science and physics and are devoted to topics related to Goedel's work and reflect the present state of knowledge domains deeply influenced by Goedel.

Die Stimmen, die eine Abkehr vom mechanistischen Denken innerhalb der Ökonomik fordern, mehren sich. Zunehmend wird dabei der Begriff evolutorische Ökonomik ins Spiel gebracht, ohne jedoch einen geschlossenen und strukturierten Ansatz als wahren Kontrapunkt zu offerieren. Dieses Buch gibt demgegenüber nicht nur einen strukturierten Überblick über die evolutorische Ökonomik, sondern zeigt zugleich auch Wege ihrer praktischen Anwendung am Beispi...

How contemporary British political theater has evolved and expanded from the legacy of Bertolt Brecht

The aim of the Expositions is to present new and important developments in pure and applied mathematics. Well established in the community over more than two decades, the series offers a large library of mathematical works, including several important classics. The volumes supply thorough and detailed expositions of the methods and ideas essential to the topics in question. In addition, they convey their relationships to other parts of mathem...

Neural networks are a computing paradigm that is finding increasing attention among computer scientists. In this book, theoretical laws and models previously scattered in the literature are brought together into a general theory of artificial neural nets. Always with a view to biology and starting with the simplest nets, it is shown how the properties of models change when more general computing elements and net topologies are introduced. Each...

Partial differential equations (PDEs) play an important role in the natural sciences and technology, because they describe the way systems (natural and other) behave. The inherent suitability of PDEs to characterizing the nature, motion, and evolution of systems, has led to their wide-ranging use in numerical models that are developed in order to analyze systems that are not otherwise easily studied. Numerical Solutions for Partial Differentia...

1. 1 Rational Expectations and Learning to Become Rational A characteristic feature of dynamic economic models is that, if future states of the economy are uncertain, the expectations of agents mat­ ter. Producers have to decide today which amount of a good they will produce not knowing what demand will be tomorrow. Consumers have to decide what they spend for consumption today not knowing what prices will prevail tomorrow. Adopting the neo-cl...

Die Produktion industrieller Erzeugnisse ist heute einem durchgängigen Qualitätsmanagement-Konzept unterworfen. Hierzu gehört auch die Analyse und Bewertung von Stichproben im Rahmen der Qualitätssicherung. Die hierzu notwendigen statistischen Methoden werden in dem Lehr- und Übungsbuch Statistik in der Qualitätssicherung vorgestellt. Die Methoden werden mit einer Vielzahl von Beispielen erläutert, um deren Anwendung zu erleichtern. Zahlreiche...

When bombarded with X-rays, solid materials produce distinct scattering patterns similar to fingerprints. X-ray powder diffraction is a technique used to fingerprint solid samples, which are then identified and cataloged for future use-much the way the FBI keeps fingerprints on file. The current database of some 70, 000 material prints has been put to a broad range of uses, from the analysis of moon rocks to testing drugs for purity. Introduc...

After first analyzing the dysfunctional state of America's churches--with their capitulation to modern culture--Schmiechen argues convincingly that the church can be renewed only through the recovery of Christ's gospel of reconciliation. "Schmiechen, a United Church of Christ minister, analyzes the internal divisions and the capitulation to modern culture that he believes characterizes the ecumenical Protestant church today and issues a call f...

The S&L, crisis of the 1990s has given many a reason to review the events which led to a (in many ways) similar banking crisis sixty years ago, and the subsequent legislation of the Emergency Banking Act, the Banking Act of 1933, the Banking Act of 1935, and other related legislation. The reconstituted financial structure produced the longest period of financial stability in the US history, lasting one-half of a century. The book has two goals...

The theme of the above conference was the SYNERGY generated by the interaction of the different disciplines relevant to ERF and MRS investigations. To stimulate this theme, all lecture sessions included a mixture of papers one session contained applications, methodology, particle dynamics, structure characteristics and whatever is germane to the objective of furthering the standing of the subject. Lead-in lectures were given by experts who had...

For more than twenty years, Mel Gussow, a drama critic for the New York Times, has been meeting Harold Pinter to talk about work and life, plays and people. At the core of this book is a series of lengthy interviews - some of the most extensive that Pinter has ever given - all published here in full for the first time. Pinter and Gussow first meet in 1971, when Old Times is a new play and Pinter's status as a major writer is still being confir...
