Anaerobic digestion is a major field for the treatment of waste and wastewater. Lately the focus has been on the quality of the effluent setting new demands for pathogen removal and for successful removal of unwanted chemicals during the anaerobic process. The two volumes on Biomethanation are devoted to presenting the state of art within the science and application of anaerobic digestion. They describe the basic microbiolgical knowledge of importance for understanding the processes of anaerobic bioreactors along with the newest molecular techniques for examining these systems. In addition, the applications for treatment of waste and wastewaters are presented along with the latest knowledge on process control and regulation of anaerobic bioprocesses. Together these two volumes give an overview of a growing area, which previously has never been presented in such a comprehensive way.

Originally published in 1931, this book contains a number of selections from the prose writings of William Morris. The extracts come from Morris' fiction publications as well as his more well-known opinions on art and design. This book will be of value for anyone interested in an overview of Morris' prose output or late nineteenth-century English writing more generally.

Originally published in 1930, this book contains a series of extracts from Thomas Carlyle's influential three-volume work The French Revolution: A History (1837). The text was compiled with the intention of providing a 'representation both of Carlyle's delineation of the Revolution, and of his poetic scheme of history.' Continuity of narrative is ensured through the use of short explanatory link passages which are inserted between extracts. A detailed editorial introduction is also included, with information on the text, Carlyle's life and his conception of history. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Carlyle's writings and perspectives on the French Revolution.

Originally published in 1929, this book presents a selection of Thomas Carlyle's writings, aiming 'to collect and arrange the passages most representative of Carlyle's contribution to culture and to thought, particularly in the spheres of Literary Criticism, Philosophy, Political Economy, and History.' A detailed editorial introduction is also included, with information on Carlyle's life and intellectual views. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Thomas Carlyle and his works.

First published in 1928, this book gathers together a selection of John Ruskin's relatively neglected writings on literature and aesthetics. As noted in the textual preface, 'The attention which has been given to Ruskin's other subjects makes the neglect of this branch of his work more striking, for there is here much of permanent value. Interesting themes, original treatment, suggestive ideas which warm and stimulate the mind, are set out in a more easily readable form than is usual in Ruskin's works.' This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Ruskin and literary criticism.

This volume contains a selection of papers referring to lectures presented at the symposium "Operations Research 2003" (OR03) held at the Ruprecht- Karls-Universitiit Heidelberg, September 3 - 5, 2003. This international con- ference took place under the auspices of the German Operations Research So- ciety (GOR) and of Dr. Erwin Teufel, prime minister of Baden-Wurttemberg. The symposium had about 500 participants from countries all over the world. It attracted academians and practitioners working in various field of Opera- tions Research and provided them with the most recent advances in Opera- tions Research and related areas in Economics, Mathematics, and Computer Science. The program consisted of 4 plenary and 13 semi-plenary talks and more than 300 contributed papers selected by the program committee to be presented in 17 sections. Due to a limited number of pages available for the proceedings volume, the length of each article as well as the total number of accepted contributions had to be restricted. Submitted manuscripts have therefore been reviewed and 62 of them have been selected for publication. This refereeing procedure has been strongly supported by the section chairmen and we would like to express our gratitude to them. Finally, we also would like to thank Dr. Werner Muller from Springer-Verlag for his support in publishing this proceedings volume.

The effective management of transportation resources can reduce the expenses of an organization significantly. For these reasons the study of routing problems has been an important area of operations research for the last fifty years, and its significance is still growing with the increasing numbers of companies and organizations that have to deal with transport activities. This book deals with a major subclass of routing problems, so called postman problems, where services have to be performed along streets, e.g., postal service, waste collection or street cleaning activities. The introductory part of the book gives a comprehensive survey to routing problems. The main part of the book is dedicated to an in-depth treatment of postman problems with multiple postmen. The author presents fundamental and well known methods as well as new algorithms to attack these problems effectively. This book is valuable for mathematicians, computer scientists and economists who have to solve multiple postmen problems in theory and practice.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 1999 im Fachbereich Informatik - Wirtschaftsinformatik, Note: 2, Justus-Liebig-Universitat Giessen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Als Schlusselbereich fur den gesellschaftlichen Wandel von einer Industrie- uber eine Dienstleistungs- hin zu einer Informationsgesellschaft geltend, wird die Telekommunikation mehr und mehr zu einem zentralen Erfolgsfaktor nicht nur fur einzelne Unternehmungen oder Branchen, sondern fur ganze Volkswirtschaften. Daher befindet sich die Telekommunikation, nicht nur in Deutschland sondern weltweit, in einem Transformationsprozess, der sich in der Veranderung etablierter Marktstrukturen niederschlagt. Dies gilt speziell fur den Markt der Telekommunikationsdienstleistungen und - netze. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Entwicklung des Marktes fur Telecoms in Deutschland von einem bisher staatlich regulierten Bereich zu einem freien, deregulierten Wettbewerbsfeld darzustellen und die augenfalligste Implikation - den Markteintritt neuer Telecom- Anbieter - detailliert zu betrachte
