Neuware -Cells and Robots is an outcome of the multidisciplinary research extending over Biology, Robotics and Hybrid Systems Theory. It is inspired by modeling reactive behavior of the immune system cell population, where each cell is considered as an independent agent. In our modeling approach, there is no difference if the cells are naturally or artificially created agents, such as robots. This appears even more evident when we introduce a case study concerning a large-size robotic population scenario. Under this scenario, we also formulate the optimal control of maximizing the probability of robotic presence in a given region and discuss the application of the Minimum Principle for partial differential equations to this problem. Simultaneous consideration of cell and robotic populations is of mutual benefit for Biology and Robotics, as well as for the general understanding of multi-agent system dynamics.The text of this monograph is based on the PhD thesis of the first author. The work was a runner-up for the fifth edition of the Georges Giralt Award for the best European PhD thesis in Robotics, annually awarded by the European Robotics Research Network (EURON).Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 148 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In response to low iron availability in the environment most microorganisms synthesize iron chelators, called siderophores. Bacteria and fungi produce a broad range of structurally diverse siderophores, which all show a very high affinity for ferric ions.'Microbial Siderophores' presents an up-to-date overview of the chemistry, biology and biotechnology of these iron chelators. Following an introduction to the structure, functions and regulation of fungal siderophores, several chapters focus on siderophores of pseudomonads. Here, the technique of siderotyping, which has proved to be a rapid, accurate and inexpensive tool for pseudomonad characterization and identification, is described. Further, the biological significance of siderophores of symbiotic fungi and the possible role of siderophores in pathogenesis are discussed. In addition to methodological approaches, chapters on the biotechnological production of siderophores and their application in promoting human and plant health are included.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 268 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Enabling insight into large and complex datasets is a prevalent theme in visualization research for which different approaches are pursued.Topology-based methods are built on the idea of abstracting characteristic structures such as the topological skeleton from the data and to construct the visualizations accordingly. There are currently new demands for and renewed interest in topology-based visualization solutions. This book presents 13 peer-reviewed papers as written results from the 2005 workshop ¿Topology-Based Methods in Visualization¿ that was initiated to enable additional stimulation in this field. It contains a longer chapter dedicated to a survey of the state-of-the-art, as well as a great deal of original work by leading experts that has not been published before, spanning both theory and applications. It captures key concepts and novel ideas and serves as an overview of current trends in topology-based visualization research.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 236 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -Convex and Discrete Geometry is an area of mathematics situated between analysis, geometry and discrete mathematics with numerous relations to other areas. The book gives an overview of major results, methods and ideas of convex and discrete geometry and its applications. Besides being a graduate-level introduction to the field, it is a practical source of information and orientation for convex geometers. It should also be of use to people working in other areas of mathematics and in the applied fields.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 596 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -'Advanced Techniques in Soil Microbiology' presents a wide range of biotechnological methods for application in soil microbiology analysis. These include all essential methods involving molecular biology, immunology, microbiology, and structural biology, such as transcriptome analysis, RNAi technology, molecular matchmaking, RAPD, T-RFLP and FT/MS.The techniques and procedures have been selected with the aim of offering practical guides for immediate use in the laboratory. The systems investigated range from individual molecules and cells to entire eukaryotic organisms, with a focus on bacteria, fungi, mycorrhiza, and higher plants. This volume of state-of-the-art, practice oriented methods will be of great use both to the first-timer and to the experienced scientist.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 456 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -China ist die Wirtschaftsmacht des 21. Jahrhunderts. Die Wachstumsraten sind imposant und anhaltend, die wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Veränderungen enorm. Immer mehr westliche Firmen gehen in das Reich der Mitte, aber ebenso viele scheitern auch, weil sie Bürokratie, Investitionsmittel oder auch die menschliche Seite eines Chinaaufenthaltes nicht ausreichend bedacht und vorbereitet haben. Das China-Handbuch hilft Managern, sich für kurze Reisen oder auch mehrjährige Chinaaufenthalte auf die Begegnung, Verhandlung oder das Arbeiten mit Chinesen vorzubereiten. Es ist ein unentbehrlicher Begleiter für alle, die beruflich in China oder mit Chinesen zu tun haben, aber auch für diejenigen, die sich für die chinesische Kultur und Mentalität interessieren.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 216 pp. Deutsch. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Der Mobilfunk ¿ seit etwa 15 Jahren der große Wachstumsmarkt in der Telekommunikation ¿ befindet sich in einer Umbruchphase mit neuen Perspektiven und Herausforderungen. Daten- und Mediendienste eröffnen im Verbund mit immer leistungsfähigeren Netzen zahlreiche, über die Sprachtelefonie weit hinausreichende Wachstumsfelder. Festnetze und mobile Netze konvergieren; sie stehen nicht mehr in erster Linie komplementär zueinander, sondern konkurrieren zum Teil intensiv. Die Geschäftskonzepte der Anbieter von Mobilkommunikation müssen sich wandeln. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat sich der MÜNCHNER KREIS mit der dynamischen Entwicklung der neuen Mobilkommunikation sowie den Perspektiven und Rahmenbedingungen befasst. Das vorliegende Buch enthält die Ergebnisse.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 240 pp. Deutsch.…
