Over the last 15 years important results have been achieved in the field of Hilbert Modular Varieties. Though the main emphasis of this book is on the geometry of Hilbert modular surfaces, both geometric and arithmetic aspects are treated. An abundance of examples - in fact a whole chapter - completes this competent presentation of the subject. This Ergebnisbericht will soon become an indispensible tool for graduate students and researchers in this field.
A nationally recognized expert offers a searing exposé of Big Pharma and the American healthcare system’s zeal for excessive medical testing. More screening doesn’t lead to better health—but can turn healthy people into patients. Going against the conventional wisdom reinforced by the medical establishment and Big Pharma that more screening is the best preventative medicine, Dr. Gilbert Welch builds a compelling counterargument that what we need are fewer, not more, diagnoses. Documenting the excesses of American medical practice that labels far too many of us as sick, Welch examines the social, ethical, and economic ramifications of a health-care system that unnecessarily diagnoses a...
This reference text, now in its second edition, offers a modern unifying presentation of three basic areas of nonlinear analysis: convex analysis, monotone operator theory, and the fixed point theory of nonexpansive operators. Taking a unique comprehensive approach, the theory is developed from the ground up, with the rich connections and interactions between the areas as the central focus, and it is illustrated by a large number of examples. The Hilbert space setting of the material offers a wide range of applications while avoiding the technical difficulties of general Banach spaces. The authors have also drawn upon recent advances and modern tools to simplify the proofs of key results mak...
This report contains the biological and oceanographic data collected during five cruises in the central North Pacific by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries research vessels Hugh M. Smith and Charles H. Gilbert. Participating scientists collected oceanographic and biological data designed to determine the distribution of surface water types and the associated biota, particularly skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis (Linnaeus). The area investigated was bewteen longitudes 155° and 170° W, at latitudes 15° to 26° N.
