The Life of the Solar Pioneer Karl Wolfgang Böer
In 1973, Dr. Ber created the Solar One house, the first house to convert sunlight into electricity and heat. His leadership made a lasting impact on science, engineering, and the solar industry. The Life of the Solar Pioneer Karl Wolfgang Ber describes the life of one of the most influential and recognized solar energy pioneers. It is a must read for anyone interested in the modern development of solar energy, Bers dynamic life as one of the key movers in the field, and his world authority in CdS (Cadmium sulfide). It provides rare insight into the personal life of a scientist growing up in turbulent postwar Berlin. After his emigration to the USA and his transformation as a leader in solar energy, he set the direction for the future in significant ways: Bridged the divide between academia and industry Wrote over 350 science publications, dozens of books, and patents Created the most successful international solid state physics journal Promoted worldwide implementation of solar energy
The Life of the Solar Pioneer Karl Wolfgang Böer
The Life of the Solar Pioneer Karl Wolfgang Böer is the most comprehensive Autobiography of a world-renowned Scientist and Engineer who has been at the forefront of the development of solar energy throughout his life. He has been instrumental to show the direction solar energy conversion must go to become the key element of future energy production worldwide. With the Solar One House of the University of Delaware, he has given the direction the solar houses of the future will progress to generate electric power and heat in a systems house to provides load leveling for power utilities, and has now published the theory of the new solar cell that does no longer need a pn-junction to separate the electrons from the holes that sunlight creates, but a thin layer of attached cadmium sulfide that provides the separation efficiently and inexpensively.
Statistics of Financial Markets
Practice makes perfect. Therefore the best method of mastering models is working with them. This book contains a large collection of exercises and solutions which will help explain the statistics of financial markets. These practical examples are carefully presented and provide computational solutions to specific problems, all of which are calculated using R and Matlab. This study additionally looks at the concept of corresponding Quantlets, the name given to these program codes and which follow the name scheme SFSxyz123. The book is divided into three main parts, in which option pricing, time series analysis and advanced quantitative statistical techniques in finance is thoroughly discussed. The authors have overall successfully created the ideal balance between theoretical presentation and practical challenges.
Self-Organizing Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems, IWSOS 2006. The book offers 16 revised full papers and 6 revised short papers together with 2 invited talks and 3 poster papers. The papers are organized in topical sections on dynamics of structured and unstructured overlays, self-organization in peer-to-peer networks, self-organization in wireless environments, self-organization in distributed and grid computing, self-managing and autonomic computing, and more.
Statistics of Financial Markets
Now in its fifth edition, this book offers a detailed yet concise introduction to the growing field of statistical applications in finance. The reader will learn the basic methods for evaluating option contracts, analyzing financial time series, selecting portfolios and managing risks based on realistic assumptions about market behavior. The focus is both on the fundamentals of mathematical finance and financial time series analysis, and on applications to specific problems concerning financial markets, thus making the book the ideal basis for lectures, seminars and crash courses on the topic. All numerical calculations are transparent and reproducible using quantlets. For this new edition t...
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Karl Barth, one of the 20th century's most prominent theologians, was a lifelong devotee of Mozart and his music. This book, originally published in celebration of the 200th anniversary of Mozart's birth in 1956, is fittingly reissued in English translation in 1986, the 100th anniversary of Barth's birth.
Applied Quantitative Finance
This volume provides practical solutions and introduces recent theoretical developments in risk management, pricing of credit derivatives, quantification of volatility and copula modeling. This third edition is devoted to modern risk analysis based on quantitative methods and textual analytics to meet the current challenges in banking and finance. It includes 14 new contributions and presents a comprehensive, state-of-the-art treatment of cutting-edge methods and topics, such as collateralized debt obligations, the high-frequency analysis of market liquidity, and realized volatility. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1 revisits important market risk issues, while Part 2 introduces n...
Handbook of Computational Finance
Any financial asset that is openly traded has a market price. Except for extreme market conditions, market price may be more or less than a “fair” value. Fair value is likely to be some complicated function of the current intrinsic value of tangible or intangible assets underlying the claim and our assessment of the characteristics of the underlying assets with respect to the expected rate of growth, future dividends, volatility, and other relevant market factors. Some of these factors that affect the price can be measured at the time of a transaction with reasonably high accuracy. Most factors, however, relate to expectations about the future and to subjective issues, such as current management, corporate policies and market environment, that could affect the future financial performance of the underlying assets. Models are thus needed to describe the stochastic factors and environment, and their implementations inevitably require computational finance tools.
Microbial life on Façades
This book provides a detailed overview of the microorganisms that form the initial growth on the exterior façades of buildings. It deals with the ecophysiological properties that characterize the basic conditions under which these microorganisms can occur on façades. In addition to an identification key for the types and forms of microorganisms, this book provides a detailed description of the individual organisms, stating their ecological range. Furthermore, the various ecological parameters are discussed in short chapters. Measures to prevent and combat the colonization of façades with microorganisms are also addressed. Specialists (architects, construction experts), builders, scientists and master students can find all the information they need on facade algae and fungi here.
