Diese Anthologie versammelt Schlüsseltexte zu den wesentlichen designtheoretischen Positionen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sie führt in ästhetische Fragestellungen zu Aspekten der materiellen Erscheinungsweise von Gegenständen ein. Die Beiträge - unter anderem von Adolf Loos, Le Corbusier, Theodor W. Adorno und Frank Lloyd Wright - beschäftigen sich mit dem Verhältnis von Handwerk und Industrie, den Debatten um Ornament und Stil sowie mit dem Funktionalismus und seinen Kritikern.

Starting out from the fundamentals, this book covers the chemistry and physics of ceramic materials, as well as their behavior and resulting properties, including bio-inspired approaches and microstructural aspects. As such, it presents production methods as well as the scientific background, teaching all important mathematical methods: classical, quantum-mechanical, phenomenological, and model-based approaches. Further emphasis is laid upon the current state of the art and possible developments and challenges within the near future.

This book consists of papers and final recommendations on Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), presented at the 4th European EIA Workshop which was held from 29 May to 1 June 1997 in Potsdam, Germany. The main objectives of this workshop were to specify current SEA-related methodologies and procedures, and to identify major deficiencies; to identify constraints on SEA implementation in the Member States; and to identify SEA research and training needs and methods. The book contains contributions on recent SEA research developments and covers a wide range of topics, including a c

Individual-based models are an exciting and widely used new tool for ecology. These computational models allow scientists to explore the mechanisms through which population and ecosystem ecology arises from how individuals interact with each other and their environment. This book provides the first in-depth treatment of individual-based modeling and its use to develop theoretical understanding of how ecological systems work, an approach the authors call "individual-based ecology."Grimm and Railsback start with a general primer on modeling: how to design models that are as simple as possible wh

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st Annual Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science, STACS 2004, held in Montpellier, France, in March 2004. The 54 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 200 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on structural complexity, graph algorithms, quantum computing, satisfiability - constraint satisfaction problems, scheduling, algorithms, networks, automata theory and words, path algorithms, cryptography, logic and formal languages

This comprehensive description and discussion of photovoltaics (PV) is presented at a level that makes it accessible to the interested academic. Starting with an historical overview, the text outlines the relevance of photovoltaics today and in the future. Then follows an introduction to the physical background of solar cells and the most important materials and technologies, with particular emphasis placed on future developments and prospects. The book goes beyond technology by also describing the path from the cell to the module to the system, proceeding to important applications such as gri
