The main aim of these lectures is to tri gger the interest of the restless under- graduate student of physical, mathematical, engineering, or biological sciences in the new and exciting multidisciplinary area of the evolution of "e;large-scale"e; dynamical systems.

This book deals with the conditions and the consequences of the production of different syntactic sentence structures.

Prosody: Models and Measurements is the fruit of a three-day workshop held in Paris in April, 1982.

Why a new book on stress when so many are already available?

It is now well known that the mid-ocean flow is almost everywhere domi- nated by so-called synoptic or meso-scale eddies, rotating about nearly vertical axes and extending throughout the water column.

Synergetics may be considered as an interdisciplinary effort dealing with the gene- ral problem of how science can cope with complex systems.

This book is devoted primarily to the various kinds of resonant nonlinear in- teractions of light with two-level (or, in many cases, multilevel) systems.

This book consists of papers presented at an international symposium spon- sored and organised by The Rank Prize Funds and held at The Royal Society, London, on 27-29 September, 1982.

What is biophysics?

In the four years which elapsed between our first workshop on .

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind.

The field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has developed at a fascinating pace during the last decade.

Despite the recent progress in developing various microanalytical tools of better spatial resolution and more sensitivity to chemical analyses for the study of various defects in metallic solids the Field-Ion Microscope (FIM) still remains the only instrument up to now to resolve single atoms in the surface of a metal.

This book contains the invited papers of an international symposium on synergetics; which was held at Schlol3 Elmau, Bavaria, FRG, April 27 to May 1, 1981.

According to its definition, synergetics is concerned with the cooperation of indi- vidual parts of a system that produces macroscopic temporal, spatial or functional structures.

Geodynamics is commonly thought to be one of the subjects which provide the basis for understanding the origin of the visible surface features of the Earth: the latter are usually assumed as having been built up by geodynamic forces originating inside the Earth ("e;endogenetic"e; processes) and then as having been degrad- ed by geomorphological agents originating in the atmosphere and ocean ("e;exogenetic"e; agents).

Markov processes play an important role in the study of probability theory.

The determination of the three-dimensional structure of a biological molecule is the starting point in the understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in its complex biochemical reactions.

This book contains the invited papers of the interdisciplinary workshop on "e;Stochastic Nonlinear Systems in Physics, Chemistry and Biology"e; held at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZIF), University of Bielefeld, West Germany, October 5-11, 1980.

In rund zwei Jahrzehnten hat sich die Entdeckung des Lasers als un­ gemein fruchtbar erwiesen, nicht nur für die Physik selbst (nichtli­ neare Optik), sondern auch darüber hinaus in den verschiedenen Zweigen der Naturwissenschaft und Technik.
