A fortnightly bulletin on financial and political trends.
This is the second volume in a series of innovative proceedings entirely devoted to the connections between mathematics and computer science. Here mathematics and computer science are directly confronted and joined to tackle intricate problems in computer science with deep and innovative mathematical approaches. The book serves as an outstanding tool and a main information source for a large public in applied mathematics, discrete mathematics and computer science, including researchers, teachers, graduate students and engineers. It provides an overview of the current questions in computer science and the related modern and powerful mathematical methods. The range of applications is very wide and reaches beyond computer science.
Here, authors from academia and practice provide practitioners, scientists and graduates with basic methods and paradigms, as well as important issues and trends across the spectrum of parallel and distributed processing. In particular, they cover such fundamental topics as efficient parallel algorithms, languages for parallel processing, parallel operating systems, architecture of parallel and distributed systems, management of resources, tools for parallel computing, parallel database systems and multimedia object servers, as well as the relevant networking aspects. A chapter is dedicated to each of parallel and distributed scientific computing, high-performance computing in molecular sciences, and multimedia applications for parallel and distributed systems.
"Requiring no prior knowledge of correspondence analysis, this text provides anontechnical introduction to Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) as a method in its own right. The authors, Brigitte Le Roux and Henry Rouanet, present the material in a practical manner, keeping the needs of researchers foremost in mind." "This supplementary text isappropriate for any graduate-level, intermediate, or advanced statistics course across the social and behavioral sciences, as well as forindividual researchers." --Book Jacket.
Japanese photographer Miyako Ishiuchi, one of the most respected and compelling photographers of her generation, is the 34rd recipient of the prestigious Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography. This publication celebrates her artistic achievements with a thorough presentation of the main themes in her work: remembrance, fabric, and the body. A significant feature in her work is the meaning and treatment of surface, whether the human skin, the materiality of an object, or personal clothing.
Zu den sonderbarsten Erlebnissen des Autors zählte ein Kontrollbesuch der Wiener Atombehörde am Kernkraftwerk KNK I, wobei sich herausstellte, das der Prüfer, ein Inder, selbst radioaktives Material in den Reaktor eingeschleppt hatte. Ein Juwelier in München ließ am Garchinger Forschungsreaktor FRM wertlose Diamanten zur Aufhellung bestrahlen und verkaufte sie teuer an die Filmprominenz in Nizza. Er wurde gefasst, als die Edelsteine in der Mittelmeersonne sich verfärbten. Das Brüterkernkraftwerk SNR 300 in Kalkar hatte alle 17 Genehmigungen durchlaufen und wurde von den Landespolitikern in Nordrhein-Westfalen gestoppt, als die Anlage bereits vollständig errichtet war und zum Betrieb anstand. Heute wird auf diesem Grundstück ein Freizeitpark betrieben und die ehemaligen Komponenten des Kraftwerks dienen zur Kinderbelustigung. Bei der Stilllegung der Wiederaufarbeitungsanlage WAK in Karlsruhe war die Entsorgung der plutoniumhaltigen Konzentratlösung ein besonderes Problem. Zwei baden-württembergische Landesminister verlangten deren Transport quer durch Deutschland nach Belgien
