Urban Ecosystems Function, Management and Development (2024)


Free Download Urban Ecosystems: Function, Management and Development by Jürgen Breuste
English | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 339 Pages | ISBN : 3662632780 | 137.2 MB
This textbook answers important questions about the ecological structure, functions and socio-ecological development of cities worldwide. It explains ecological challenges for cities of the 21st century such as resource efficiency, climate change, moderation of quality of life and resilience. The book combines theories of urban development and ecology with practical applications and case studiest worldwide. It shows that cities are by far not only problem areas but also offer great potential for a good life and that the various urban ecosystems can make a considerable contribution to this. The "eco-city" is a real goal that can be pursued step by step in a targeted manner, taking into account the local and regional context.

Operator and Matrix Theory, Function Spaces, and Applications


Free Download Operator and Matrix Theory, Function Spaces, and Applications
English | 2024 | ISBN: 303150612X | 427 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 36 MB
This volume features presentations from the International Workshop on Operator Theory and its Applications that was held in Kraków, Poland, September 6-10, 2022. The volume reflects the wide interests of the participants and contains original research papers in the active areas of Operator Theory. These interests include weighted Hardy spaces, geometry of Banach spaces, dilations of the tetrablock contractions, Toeplitz and Hankel operators, symplectic Dirac operator, pseudodifferential and differential operators, singular integral operators, non-commutative probability, quasi multipliers, Hilbert transform, small rank perturbations, spectral constants, Banach-Lie groupoids, reproducing kernels, and the Kippenhahn curve. The volume includes contributions by a number of the world’s leading experts and can therefore be used as an introduction to the currently active research areas in operator theory.

Anatomy & Physiology The Unity of Form and Function ISE


Free Download Anatomy & Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function ISE by Kenneth Saladin
English | January 1, 2023 | ISBN: 1266145311 | 1232 pages | MOBI | 197 Mb
Anatomy & Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function tells a story comprised of many layers, including core science, clinical applications, the history of medicine, and evolution of the human body. Saladin combines this humanistic perspective on anatomy and physiology with vibrant photos and art to convey the beauty and excitement of the subject. To help students manage the tremendous amount of information in this introductory course, the narrative is broken into short segments, each framed by expected learning outcomes and self-testing review questions.

Algebraic Function Fields and Codes


Free Download Algebraic Function Fields and Codes by Henning Stichtenoth
English | PDF (True) | 2009 | 363 Pages | ISBN : 3540768777 | 5 MB
15 years after the ?rst printing of Algebraic Function Fields and Codes,the mathematics editors of Springer Verlag encouraged me to revise and extend the book. Besides numerous minor corrections and amendments, the second edition di?ers from the ?rst one in two respects. Firstly I have included a series of exercises at the end of each chapter. Some of these exercises are fairly easy and should help the reader to understand the basic concepts, others are more advanced and cover additional material. Secondly a new chapter titled "Asymptotic Bounds for the Number of Rational Places" has been added. This chapter contains a detailed presentation of the asymptotic theory of function ?elds over ?nite ?elds, including the explicit construction of some asymptotically good and optimal towers. Based on these towers, a complete and self-contained proof of the Tsfasman-Vladut-Zink Theorem is given. This theorem is perhaps the most beautiful application of function ?elds to coding theory. The codes which are constructed from algebraic function ?elds were ?rst introduced by V. D. Goppa. Accordingly I referred to them in the ?rst edition as geometric Goppa codes. Since this terminology has not generally been – cepted in the literature, I now use the more common term algebraic geometry codes or AG codes. I would like to thank Alp Bassa, Arnaldo Garcia, Cem Guneri, ¨ Sevan Harput and Alev Topuzo? glu for their help in preparing the second edition.

Executive Function in Preschool-Age Children Integrating Measurement, Neurodevelopment, and Translational Research


Free Download James A. Griffin PhD, "Executive Function in Preschool-Age Children: Integrating Measurement, Neurodevelopment, and Translational Research"
English | ISBN: 1433818264 | 2015 | 352 pages | PDF | 3 MB
A primary aim of the neuropsychological revolution has been the mapping of what has come to be known as executive function (EF). This term encompasses a range of mental processes such as working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility that, together, regulate our social behavior, and our emotional and cognitive well-being.

Function, Phylogeny, and Fossils Miocene Hominoid Evolution and Adaptations


Free Download Function, Phylogeny, and Fossils: Miocene Hominoid Evolution and Adaptations by David R. Begun, Carol V. Ward, Michael D. Rose
English | PDF | 1997 | 430 Pages | ISBN : 0306454572 | 45 MB
An insightful new work, Function, Phylogeny, and Fossils integrates two practices in paleobiology which are often separated – functional and phylogenetic analysis. The book summarizes the evidence on paleoenvironments at the most important Miocene hominoid sites and relates it to the pertinent fossil record. The contributors present the most up-to-date statements on the functional anatomy and likely behavior of the best known hominoids of this crucial period of ape and human evolution. A key feature is a comprehensive table listing 240 characteristics among 13 genera of living and extinct hominoids.
