This is the first comprehensive presentation of the quantum non-linear sigma-models. The original papers consider in detail geometrical properties and renormalization of a generic non-linear sigma-model, illustrated by explicit multi-loop calculations in perturbation theory.
Papers presented within this volume cover a wide range of topics related to programming distributed memory machines. Distributed memory architectures, although having the potential to supply the very high levels of performance required to support future computing needs, present awkward programming problems. The major issue is to design methods which enable compilers to generate efficient distributed memory programs from relatively machine independent program specifications. This book is the compilation of papers describing a wide range of research efforts aimed at easing the task of programming distributed memory machines.

Memory is a universal function of organized matter. What is the mathematics of memory? How does memory affect the space-time behaviour of spatially extended systems? Does memory increase complexity? This book provides answers to these questions. It focuses on the study of spatially extended systems, i.e., cellular automata and other related discrete complex systems. Thus, arrays of locally connected finite state machines, or cells, update their states simultaneously, in discrete time, by the same transition rule. The classical dynamics in these systems is Markovian: only the actual configuration is taken into account to generate the next one. Generalizing the conventional view on spatially extended discrete dynamical systems evolution by allowing cells (or nodes) to be featured by some trait state computed as a function of its own previous state-values, the transition maps of the classical systems are kept unaltered, so that the effect of memory can be easily traced. The book demonstrates that discrete dynamical systems with memory are not only priceless tools for modeling natural phenomena but unique mathematical and aesthetic objects.

This book is intended for those who want to get started with carrying out improvement projects on the shop floor or in their own work environment. In addition, this book is intended for anyone who participates as a team member in a larger Lean or Six Sigma, Green or Black Belt project. In terms of structure, this book follows the LSSA syllabus for Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt. All techniques mentioned in this syllabus are covered in this book. It is advised to also use the accompanying exercise book.
This book is intended for those who want to get started with carrying out improvement projects on the shop floor or in their own work environment. In addition, this book is intended for anyone who participates as a team member in a larger Lean or Six Sigma, Green or Black Belt project. The structure of this book is based on the ‘Continuous Improvement Maturity Model’ (CIMM). The CIMM framework connects various improvement methods such as Agile, Kaizen, Lean and Six Sigma and lists the most commonly applied techniques in the field of continuous improvement and quality management. The framework also connects the so-called hard and soft elements of the transformation process that organizati...
