This second edition is a corrected and extended version of the
first. It is a textbook for students, as well as a reference book
for the working mathematician, on cohomological topics in number
theory. In all it is a virtually complete treatment of a vast array
of central topics in algebraic number theory. New material is
introduced here on duality theorems for unramified and tamely
ramified extensions as well as a careful analysis of 2-extensions
of real number fields.
Understanding Complex Urban Systems takes as its point of departure
the insight that the challenges of global urbanization and the
complexity of urban systems cannot be understood - let alone
'managed' - by sectoral and disciplinary approaches alone. But
while there has recently been significant progress in broadening
and refining the methodologies for the quantitative modeling of
complex urban systems, in deepening the theoretical understanding
of cities as complex systems, or in illuminating the implications
for urban planning, there is still a lack of well-founded
conceptual thinking on the methodological foundations and the
strategies of modeling urban complexity across the disciplines.
Bringing together experts from the fields of urban and spatial
planning, ecology, urban geography, real estate analysis,
organizational cybernetics, stochastic optimization, and literary
studies, as well as specialists in various systems approaches and
in transdisciplinary methodologies of urban analysis, the volume
seeks to advance the discussion on multidisciplinary approaches to
urban modeling. While engaging with the 'state of the art' in their
respective fields, the contributions are specifically written for
both experts from a broad range of disciplines as well as for urban
practitioners who feel the need for new approaches given the
uncertainty of current developments.

Various applications in the field of pulmonary image analysis
require a registration of CT images of the lung. For example, a
registration-based estimation of the breathing motion is employed
to increase the accuracy of dose distribution in radiotherapy.
Alexander Schmidt-Richberg develops methods to explicitly model
morphological and physiological knowledge about respiration in
algorithms for the registration of thoracic CT images. The author
focusses on two lung-specific issues: on the one hand, the
alignment of the interlobular fissures and on the other hand, the
estimation of sliding motion at the lung boundaries. He shows that
by explicitly considering these aspects based on a segmentation of
the respective structure, registration accuracy can be
significantly improved.
The present manuscript is an improved edition of a text that first
appeared under the same title in Bonner Mathematische Schriften,
no.26, and originated from a series of lectures given by the author
in 1965/66 in Wolfgang Krull's seminar in Bonn. Its main goal is to
provide the reader, acquainted with the basics of algebraic number
theory, a quick and immediate access to class field theory. This
script consists of three parts, the first of which discusses the
cohomology of finite groups. The second part discusses local class
field theory, and the third part concerns the class field theory of
finite algebraic number fields.

Volume 2 of massive work by a leading Shakespeare scholar and lexicographer, a standard in the field, provides full definitions, locations, and shades of meaning in every word in Shakespeare's plays and poems. The two volumes contain more than 50,000 exact quotations, each precisely located. There is no other word dictionary comparable to this work.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International
Workshop on Thoracic Image Analysis, TIA 2020, held in Lima, Peru,
in October 2020. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held
virtually. COVID-19 infection has brought a lot of attention to
lung imaging and the role of CT imaging in the diagnostic workflow
of COVID-19 suspects is an important topic. The 14 full papers
presented deal with all aspects of image analysis of thoracic data,
including: image acquisition and reconstruction, segmentation,
registration, quantification, visualization, validation,
population-based modeling, biophysical modeling (computational
anatomy), deep learning, image analysis in small animals,
outcome-based research and novel infectious disease applications.
Still often used today, German schoolmaster and philologist
ALEXANDER SCHMIDT's (1816-1887) Shakespeare Lexicon is the source
for elucidating the sometimes cryptic language of Shakespeare and
tracking down quotations. Volume 1 covers A through L, from "a: the
first letter of the alphabet" to "Lysimachus," a proper name. Every
word from every play and poem is cataloged, referenced, and defined
in this exhaustive two-volume work, the result of arduous research
and stalwart dedication. Serious scholars and zealous fans will
find the Lexicon the ultimate guide to reading and decoding the
Bard.
Die vorliegende Festschrift wurdigt die wissenschaftliche Karriere
von Hans-Jurgen Andress, wahrend der er die Methodenentwicklung im
Bereich langsschnittlicher Analysemethoden gepragt und
einflussreiche empirische Studien zu Armut, Ungleichheit und den
Folgen kritischer Lebensereignisse vorgelegt hat. Der Band vereint
nun diese Aspekte und versammelt empirische Studien, welche auf
Basis langsschnittlicher analytischer Designs verschiedene Formen
sozialer Ungleichheit in Deutschland untersuchen. In
unterschiedlichen thematischen Feldern erarbeiten die Beitrage
Erklarungen fur Ungleichheitspositionen und untersuchen
insbesondere deren Einbettung in den Lebensverlauf. Neben ihrem
konkreten empirischen Forschungsbeitrag demonstrieren die Studien
damit gleichzeitig die analytischen Potentiale langsschnittlicher
Designs und der vorhandenen langsschnittlichen Dateninfrastruktur
in Deutschland. Die Herausgeber Prof. Dr. Marco Giesselmann ist
Juniorprofessor an der Universitat Bielefeld und Mitarbeiter des
DIW Berlin.Prof. Dr. Katrin Golsch ist Professorin fur Quantitative
Methoden der empirischen Sozialforschung und Sozialstrukturanalyse
am Institut fur Sozialwissenschaften der Universitat
Osnabruck.Prof. Dr. Henning Lohmann ist Professur fur Soziologie am
Fachbereich Sozialoekonomie der Universitat Hamburg.Dr. Alexander
Schmidt-Catran ist akademischer Rat am Institut fur Soziologie und
Sozialpsychologie (ISS) an der Universitat zu Koeln.
Der Klassiker zum Thema bietet Lesern, die mit den Grundlagen der
algebraischen Zahlentheorie vertraut sind, einen raschen Zugang zur
Klassenkoerpertheorie. Die Neuauflage ist eine verbesserte Version
des 1969 in der Reihe B. I.-Hochschulskripten (Bibliographisches
Institut Mannheim) erschienenen gleichnamigen Bandes. Das Werk
besteht aus drei Teilen: Im ersten wird die Kohomologie der
endlichen Gruppen behandelt, im zweiten die lokale
Klassenkoerpertheorie, der dritte Teil widmet sich der
Klassenkoerpertheorie der endlichen algebraischen Zahlkoerper.
