This thesis presents first successful experiments to carrier-envelope-phase stabilize a high-power mode-locked thin-disk oscillator and to compress the pulses emitted from this laser to durations of only a few-optical cycles. Moreover, the monograph introduces several methods to achieve power-scalability of compression and stabilization techniques. All experimental approaches are compared in detail and may serve as a guideline for developing high-power waveform controlled, few-cycle light sources which offer tremendous potential to exploit extreme nonlinear optical effects at unprecedentedly high repetition rates and to establish table-top infrared light sources with a unique combination of brilliance and bandwidth. As an example, the realization of a multi-Watt, multi-octave spanning, mid-infrared femtosecond source is described. The thesis starts with a basic introduction to the field of ultrafast laser oscillators. It subsequently presents additional details of previously published research results and establishes a connection between them. It therefore addresses both newcomers to, and experts in the field of high-power ultrafast laser development.

This work traverses art and science, and explores how they can be integrated in life. The foundations of psychology, sociology, anthropology, biology and philosophy can be used to improve interpersonal effectiveness in life. These principles are presented through artistic images and literary artifacts in the form of human stories. The particular allegories are then analyzed from various artistic perspectives, literary themes, scientific bases, and philosophical principles. Art, psychology, sociology, anthropology, biology and philosophy have been studied for centuries. The fundamental principles behind these topics all intersect to affect life. In conflict, who wins, who loses and why? How and why are some people so competent in life? Fascinating examples, with beautiful photography, dialogue and analysis. A reconnaissance of art, beauty, knowledge, and power. Explore the beauty of life from many intersecting viewpoints.

Disagreement is one of the deepest and most pervasive topics in philosophy; arguably its very bedrock, and is an ever-increasing feature of politics, ethics, public policy, science and many other areas. Despite the omnipresence of disagreement, the topic itself has received relatively little sustained examination. This outstanding handbook examines the philosophy of disagreement and how it extends to debates in public policy and science. Comprising 41 chapters by an international team of highly distinguished contributors, the Handbook is divided into six clear parts: Philosophy of Disagreement Epistemology of Disagreement Disagreement in Science Moral Disagreement Political Disagreement Disa...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Systems, Architectures, Modeling, and Simulation, SAMOS 2004, held in Samos, Greece on July 2004. Besides the SAMOS 2004 proceedings, the book also presents 19 revised papers from the predecessor workshop SAMOS 2003. The 55 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on reconfigurable computing, architectures and implementation, and systems modeling and simulation.
This book provides a holistic view of the topic of values-based leadership by bridging the important gap between understanding theory and applying it in practice. Based on theoretically sound contributions from experts, a systematic understanding is developed: What are values in general and what do they mean in a business context? What does value orientation mean? How does it work in the different areas of leadership? Practice-oriented contributions by experienced practitioners offer orientation for value-oriented leadership in every kind of company, from the small to the large. From structural familiarization with corporate leadership to day-to-day values-based interactions with employees in people management, you can find helpful inspiration in this book. This book is attractive in its comprehensibility and authenticity. It is about experiencing the life of values in a company as really meaningful, necessary and feasible.
