This book casts the theory of periods of algebraic varieties in the natural setting of Madhav Nori's abelian category of mixed motives. It develops Nori's approach to mixed motives from scratch, thereby filling an important gap in the literature, and then explains the connection of mixed motives to periods, including a detailed account of the theory of period numbers in the sense of Kontsevich-Zagier and their structural properties. Period numbers are central to number theory and algebraic geometry, and also play an important role in other fields such as mathematical physics. There are long-standing conjectures about their transcendence properties, best understood in the language of cohomology of algebraic varieties or, more generally, motives. Readers of this book will discover that Nori's unconditional construction of an abelian category of motives (over fields embeddable into the complex numbers) is particularly well suited for this purpose. Notably, Kontsevich's formal period algebra represents a torsor under the motivic Galois group in Nori's sense, and the period conjecture of Kontsevich and Zagier can be recast in this setting. Periods and Nori Motives is highly informative and will appeal to graduate students interested in algebraic geometry and number theory as well as researchers working in related fields. Containing relevant background material on topics such as singular cohomology, algebraic de Rham cohomology, diagram categories and rigid tensor categories, as well as many interesting examples, the overall presentation of this book is self-contained.

The theory of capital structure is one of the most exciting and complex topics in corporate finance. After many years of debate it is still extremely difficult to provide a conclusive answer to the question which capital structure maximises the value of a company and what factors determine the optimal mix of debt and equity capital.This book provides a comprehensive introduction to capital structure theory and investigates its practical relevance in the German market. The main objectives are to explore the link between capital structure theory and corporate practice and to test determinants of capital structure choice empirically.The book has been written for students, researchers, and academics, but also for practitioners seeking empirical evidence of capital structure theory and an empirical model that can be used to estimate the optimal level of debt for an individual company in relation to an existing industry optimum.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Kartographie, Geodasie, Geoinformationswissenschaften, Note: 2,0, Technische Fachhochschule Berlin, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Karte ist heute zu einem fast alltaglichen Gebrauchsgegenstand geworden ... (Sie) hat nahezu alle Bereiche der Wissenschaft und des praktischen Lebens erobert; ... es gibt kaum einen Tag, an dem wir nicht mit ihr konfrontiert werden, als Autofahrer mit der Strassenkarte, als Fussganger mit dem Stadtplan und der Wanderkarte, in der Tagesszeitung, in der Wirtschaft, Werbung und Politik ...." Diese Aussage uber die Bedeutung von Karten in unserer Gesellschaft wurde von Werner Witt bereits im Jahr 1970 getatigt. Und auch heute - fast 40 Jahre spater - beeinflussen und bestimmen Karten in wesentlichen Teilen unser Denken, Planen und Handeln. Zu den Karten mit dem grossten und vielschichtigsten Benutzerkreis zahlen die Strassenkarten. Sie gelten daher auch als gebrauchlichster Kartentyp, was angesichts von uber 32 Millionen Strassenkilometern von der Autobahn bis zur Schotterpiste weltweit nicht verwunderlich ist. Laut dem World-Fact-Book des amerikanischen Geheimdienstes CIA belegt Deutschland mit knapp uber 231.000 Kilometern lediglich einen Platz in den Zwanzigern der Lander mit den meisten Strassenkilometern weltweit. Zieht man allerdings den Bestand an Kraftfahrzeugen heran, so liegt Deutschland mit uber 47 Millionen Kraftfahrzeugen im Jahr 2005 nach den USA und Japan an dritter Stelle. Allein diese Tatsache verdeutlicht den hohen Stellenwert von Strassenkarten und -atlanten in Deutschland. Umso erstaunlicher ist es, dass in den letzten 35 Jahren das Thema Strassenkarten und Strassenatlanten in keiner wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung intensiv Einzug fand. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll daher die aktuelle Situation der Strassenkartographie in Deutschland naher beleuchten. Den Schwerpunkt der Arbeit stellt die Vorstellung der Verlagslandschaft dar. Ziel ist es e
