The Pediatrics pocketcard Set summarizes information critical to
the general pediatrics practice. The cards contain vital
information on a variety of topics including developmental
assessment, pediatric lab values and vital signs reference ranges,
important physiological formulas, nutrition, fluid and electrolyte
management, immunization, infectious diseases, and common emergency
drugs and doses. Specific topics include: *APGAR score,
developmental milestones, primitive reflexes *Pediatric lab values:
CBCs, ABGs, common serum, urine and CSF tests *Latest infant
formula recommendations from the AAP *Glasgow coma scale, epilepsy
therapy and management *Infectious disease management including
pneumonia, UTI, meningitis *Emergency drugs and algorithms for
seizures, asthma attacks, etc. *And much more... For interns,
residents, physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals
working in pediatrics.
Radiologists who already use the SOMATOM PLUS computed tomography
system discuss their experiences in this report of a User
Conference in March, 1990. The distinct advantage of this system in
which the whole measuring system rotates continuously is
emphasized. More than fifty participants from nine European
countries present scientific papers, discuss clinical experience
and consider future prospects.
Anne Fuchs traces the aftermath of the Dresden bombing in the
collective imagination from 1945 to today. As a case study of an
event that gained local, national and global iconicity, the book
investigates the role of photography, fine art, architecture,
literature and film in dialogue with the changing German
socio-political landscape.
"Phantoms of War in Contemporary German Literature, Films and
Discourse" offers an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of
fundamental shifts in German cultural memory. Focusing on the
resurgence of family stories in fiction, autobiography and in film,
this study challenges the institutional boundaries of Germany's
memory culture that have guided and arguably limited German
identity debates. Essays on contemporary German literature are
complemented by explorations of heritage films and museum
discourse. Together these essays put forward a compelling theory of
family narratives and a critical evaluation of generational
discourse.

Related to the key areas of Pauli's and Jung's joint interests, the
book covers overlapping issues from the perspectives of physics,
philosophy, and psychology. Of primary significance are
epistemological questions connected to issues such as realism,
measurement, observation, consciousness, and the unconscious. The
contributions assess the extensive material that we have about
Pauli's and Jung's ideas today, with particular respect to concrete
research questions and projects based on and related to current
knowledge.

Das vorliegende Buch ist die Ubersetzung des leicht iiberarbeiteten
franzO-- sischen Originaltextes: D. Foata, A. Fuchs, Calcul des
Probabilites, Cours et exercices corriges, Masson, Paris, 1996.
Herr Dr. Volker Strehl (Erlangen) hat die Aufgabe der Ubersetzung
auf sich genommen und wir mochten, es nicht versaumen, ihm gleich
zu Beginn den gebiihrenden Dank auszusprechen. Es war keineswegs
die Absicht der Verfasser, einen tiefschiirfenden Grund- riss der
Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie zu schreiben; vielmehr wollten sie dem
einigermassen fortgeschrittenen Studenten ein brauchbares Lehrbuch
bieten. Zu diesem Zwecke enthalt jedes Kapitel auch eine Anzahl von
erganzenden Bemerkungen und Ubungsaufgaben, deren Losungen der
interessierte Leser am Ende des Buches finden wird. Zum tieferen
Verstandnis des Buches ist eine gute Praxis der mathemati- schen
Analysis, wie sie zum Beispiel in den erst en zwei Jahren des
Univer- sitatsstudiums gelehrt wird, unerlasslich. Insbesondere ist
ein Umgang-mit unendlichen Reihen, insbesondere auch (formalen)
Potenzreihen, erforderlich. In den ersten neun Kapiteln wird die
Theorie der diskreten Wahrscheinlich- keiten vorgestellt. Diese
fusst hauptsachlich auf der Theorie der unendlichen Reihen. Aber
auch andere, tiefer liegende Begriffe werden in diesen Kapiteln
gestreift, so zum Beispiel die Dynkin-Systeme, welche in einigen
Fallen den iiblichen monotonen Systemen vorzuziehen sind.

Nachdruck des Originals von 1915. Segelfahrten und Walfischjagden

This is an introduction to the theory of affine Lie algebras, to
the theory of quantum groups, and to the interrelationships between
these two fields that are encountered in conformal field theory.
The description of affine algebras covers the classification
problem, the connection with loop algebras, and representation
theory including modular properties. The necessary background from
the theory of semisimple Lie algebras is also provided. The
discussion of quantum groups concentrates on deformed enveloping
algebras and their representation theory, but other aspects such as
R-matrices and matrix quantum groups are also dealt with. This book
will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in
theoretical physics and applied mathematics.
A passionate and personal account of the early days of quantum
information and quantum computing, this unique book is a collection
of more than 500 letters between the author and many of the
founders of these intriguing fields. Christopher A. Fuchs is one of
the most penetrating modern thinkers on the philosophical
foundations of quantum mechanics. This remarkable book follows his
journey as he comes to grips with the quantum world. It contains
correspondence with Charles Bennett, Gilles Brassard, Rolf
Landauer, N. David Mermin, Michael Nielsen, Asher Peres, John
Preskill, Abner Shimony, William Wootters, Anton Zeilinger, and
many others. Filled with diary entries, anecdotes, historical
selections, and research ideas, this book will fascinate
physicists, philosophers, and historians of science.
