This book is an outgrowth of one phase of an upper-division course on quantitative ecology, given each year for the past eight at Berkeley.

This volume is an effort to bring together important contributions to the mathe- matical development of demography and to suggest briefly their historical context.

Predation is an ecological factor of almost universal importance for the biol- ogist who aims at an understanding of the habits and structures of animals.

This book illustrates some of the ways physics and mathematics have been, and are being, used to elucidate the underlying mechan- isms of passive ion movement through biological membranes in general, and the membranes of excltable cells in particular.

The study of stability aims at understanding the abrupt changes which are observed in fluid motions as the external parameters are varied.

This publication would not have been what it is without the help of many institutions and people, which I acknowledge most gratefully.

The above consideration indicates that at present many of the experi- mental facts on PS in animals can be quantitatively explained within the limits of the "e;universal"e; photoreceptor membrane concept.

These notes serve as an introduction to stochastic theories which are useful in population biology; they are based on a course given at the Courant Institute, New York, in the Spring of 1974.

On May 10-12, 1973 a Conference on Mathematical Methods in Graph Theory was held at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.

These notes correspond to a set of lectures given at the Univer- sity of Alberta during the spring semester, 1973.

The theory of scheduling is receiving increased emphasis in research and practice for at least three good reasons.

There are currently many practical situations in which one wishes to determine the coefficients in an ordinary or partial differential equation from known functionals of its solution.

In an age when more and more items.

Paolo Bisogno and Augusto Forti Taking an interest in the future is among the most instinctive Conscious of the existence of time as well as of human activities.

This monograph is a revised set of notes on recent applications of the theory of cones, arising from lectures I gave during my stay at the Centre de recherches mathematiques in Montreal.

The author of this book, Igor' Vladimirovich Girsanov, was one of the first mathematicians to study general extremum problems and to realize the feasibility and desirability of a unified theory of extremal problems, based on a functional- analytic approach.

Of all topological algebraic structures compact topological groups have perhaps the richest theory since 80 many different fields contribute to their study: Analysis enters through the representation theory and harmonic analysis; differential geo- metry, the theory of real analytic functions and the theory of differential equations come into the play via Lie group theory; point set topology is used in describing the local geometric structure of compact groups via limit spaces; global topology and the theory of manifolds again playa role through Lie group theory; and, of course, algebra enters through the cohomology and homology theory.

VI of Oregon lectures in 1962, Bass gave simplified proofs of a number of "e;Morita Theorems"e;, incorporating ideas of Chase and Schanuel.

At the time of Professor Rademacher's death early in 1969, there was available a complete manuscript of the present work.

The NATO Advanced Study Institute From Statistics to Neural Networks, Theory and Pattern Recognition Applications took place in Les Arcs, Bourg Saint Maurice, France, from June 21 through July 2, 1993.

Naturwissenschaftliche Untersuchungen leisten heute einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erforschung archäologischer und kunstgeschichtlicher Objekte, denn viele Fragen lassen sich erst mit ihrer Hilfe beantworten: - Woher kommt das Fundstück, das da auf dem Kunstmarkt angeboten wird?

When John Thompson and I first began talking about finding a way to measure and cost the output of hospitals in the 1960s.

The present book is a collection of variations on a theme which can be summed up as follows: It is impossible for a non-zero function and its Fourier transform to be simultaneously very small.

Thomas Brody had one of the most powerful and wide-ranging intellects of his generation.

The NATO Advanced Study Institute on Biomechanics of Active Movement and Division of Cells was held September 19-29, 1993 in Istanbul and the Proceedings are presented in this volume.

This publication provides guidance on preparing data to be input into an international computerised database for clinical case histories of persons accidentally exposed to whole body irradiation.

Dieses Buch lädt ein zu einer Reise in das Innere der Zelle.

The Product Data Technology Advisory Group, short PDTAG, was established on 30 September 1992 under the auspices of the ESPRIT CIME Division of the Directorate General XIII of the European Commission.

Usually, the first edition of a book still contains a multiplicity of typographic, con- ceptional, and computational errors even if one believes the opposite at the time of publication.

The favourable reception of the first edition and the encouragement received from many readers have prompted the author to bring out this new edition.

The aim of this book is to give an up to date account of the most commonly uses statisti- cal models for categorical data.

Since the publication of the first edition of our book, geometric algorithms and combinatorial optimization have kept growing at the same fast pace as before.

DYNAMICS REPORTED reports on recent developments in dynamical systems.

Etale Cohomology is one of the most important methods in modern Algebraic Geometry and Number Theory.

As suggested by the title of this book Numerical Toolbox for Verified Computing, we present an extensive set of sophisticated tools to solve basic numerical problems with a verification of the results.
