How Nature Works
This book is based on the outcome of the “2012 Interdisciplinary Symposium on Complex Systems” held at the island of Kos. The book consists of 12 selected papers of the symposium starting with a comprehensive overview and classification of complexity problems, continuing by chapters about complexity, its observation, modeling and its applications to solving various problems including real-life applications. More exactly, readers will have an encounter with the structural complexity of vortex flows, the use of chaotic dynamics within evolutionary algorithms, complexity in synthetic biology, types of complexity hidden inside evolutionary dynamics and possible controlling methods, complexit...
Reminiscences of an Accidental Missionary
In a free and funny style, this book tries to narrate the experiences of an ordinary Nigerian diocesan priest who unprepared found himself working as a missionary, first in Nigeria, his home country, and is still active as a missionary in the Diocese of Linz in Upper Austria.
"Soli Deo Gloria"
Der österreichische Komponist Augustinus Franz Kropfreiter (1936–2003) gehörte als Chorfrater dem Stift St. Florian bei Linz an, wo er als Stiftsorganist und Regens Chori wirkte. Sein OEuvre umfasst alle Gattungen mit Ausnahme des Balletts und der Oper. Sein Stil basiert auf dem traditionellen Verständnis von Form und Kontrapunkt und zeichnet sich vor allem durch die Farbigkeit bi- und polytonaler Strukturen aus. Klaus Sonnleitner erörtert in diesem Band Kropfreiters Selbstverständnis als Komponist und Organist sowie den Kompositionsprozess. Die wichtigsten Grundlagen dafür sind die erhaltene Korrespondenz und die Ergebnisse von Experteninterviews. Eine Werkliste bietet umfassenden Überblick über das Schaffen des Komponisten, der besonders im Bereich der Orgelkomposition überregionale Bedeutung erlangte.
Chaos, Information, And The Future Of Physics: The Seaman-rossler Dialogue With Information Perspectives By Burgin And Seaman
The main part of the book consists of the dialogue between physicist Otto Rössler, and artist and AI researcher Bill Seaman with the commentaries disclosing information perspective by information scientist Mark Burgin and Bill Seaman. In this dialogue, Rössler and Seaman discuss concepts surrounding Rössler's major research over his lifetime. Additionally, each research topic is linked to the set of papers and books published by Rössler and other related collaborative researchers. The goal is to delineate an intellectual directory for future researchers. The discussed topics being transdisciplinary in nature cross many fields in science and technology. A comprehensive historical bibliogr...
Chaotic Harmony
This fascinating book written by Ali Sanayei and Otto E. Rössler is not a classic scientific publication, but a vivid dialogue on science, philosophy and the interdisciplinary intersections of science and technology with biographic elements. Chaotic Harmony: A Dialog about Physics, Complexity and Life represents a discussion between Otto Rössler and his colleague and student, focusing on the different areas of science and highlights their mutual relations. The book's concept of interdisciplinary dialogue is unusual nowadays although it has a long tradition in science. It provides insight not only into interesting topics that are often closely linked, but also into the mind of a prominent s...
Nostradamus: Modern Methods of Prediction, Modeling and Analysis of Nonlinear Systems
This proceeding book of Nostradamus conference (http://nostradamus-conference.org) contains accepted papers presented at this event in 2012. Nostradamus conference was held in the one of the biggest and historic city of Ostrava (the Czech Republic, http://www.ostrava.cz/en), in September 2012. Conference topics are focused on classical as well as modern methods for prediction of dynamical systems with applications in science, engineering and economy. Topics are (but not limited to): prediction by classical and novel methods, predictive control, deterministic chaos and its control, complex systems, modelling and prediction of its dynamics and much more.
The Organ Music of Johannes Brahms
Influenced by Robert and Clara Schumann and Joseph Joachim, Johannes Brahms not only learned to play the organ at the beginning of his career, but also wrote significant compositions for the instrument as a result of his early counterpoint study. He composed for the organ only sporadically or as part of larger choral and instrumental works in his subsequent career. During the final year of his life, however, he returned to pure organ composition with a set of chorale preludes--though many of these are thought to have been revisions of earlier works. Today, the organ works of Johannes Brahms are recognized as beautifully-crafted compositions by church and concert organists across the world an...
Bottom-Up Self-Organization in Supramolecular Soft Matter
This book presents the general concepts of self-organized spatio-temporal ordering processes. These concepts are demonstrated via prototypical examples of recent advances in materials science. Particular emphasis is on nano scale soft matter in physics, chemistry, biology and biomedicine. The questions addressed embrace a broad spectrum of complex nonlinear phenomena, ranging from self-assembling near the thermodynamical equilibrium to dissipative structure formation far from equilibrium. Their mutual interplay gives rise to increasing degrees of hierarchical order. Analogues are pointed out, differences characterized and efforts are made to reveal common features in the mechanistic description of those phenomena.

»Die Sache, für die mein Leben einsteht«. Studien zu Leben und Werk des Wiener Komponisten Hans Rott
»Was die Musik an ihm verloren hat, ist gar nicht zu ermessen.« Gustav Mahler war es, der sich im Jahre 1900 in dieser Weise über seinen früheren Studienkollegen Hans Rott (1858–1884) äußerte. Trotzdem dauerte es noch fast 90 Jahre, bevor die Musikwelt auf den mit nicht einmal 26 Jahren in der Psychiatrie verstorbenen Komponisten aufmerksam wurde: Die 1989 erfolgte Uraufführung der beeindruckenden E-Dur-Symphonie, die Rott im Alter von 22 Jahren vollendet hatte, bildete hierbei den Ausgangspunkt für die Wiederentdeckung des Bruckner-Schülers und Wagner-Anhängers. Der vorliegende Band vereint die Referate, die im Rahmen des anlässlich des 150. Geburtstages von Hans Rott veranstal...
