The solitaire game "The Tower of Hanoi" was invented in the 19th
century by the French number theorist Edouard Lucas. The book
presents its mathematical theory and offers a survey of the
historical development from predecessors up to recent research. In
addition to long-standing myths, it provides a detailed overview of
the essential mathematical facts with complete proofs, and also
includes unpublished material, e.g., on some captivating integer
sequences. The main objects of research today are the so-called
Hanoi graphs and the related Sierpinski graphs. Acknowledging the
great popularity of the topic in computer science, algorithms,
together with their correctness proofs, form an essential part of
the book. In view of the most important practical applications,
namely in physics, network theory and cognitive (neuro)psychology,
the book also addresses other structures related to the Tower of
Hanoi and its variants. The updated second edition includes, for
the first time in English, the breakthrough reached with the
solution of the "The Reve's Puzzle" in 2014. This is a special case
of the famed Frame-Stewart conjecture which is still open after
more than 75 years. Enriched with elaborate illustrations,
connections to other puzzles and challenges for the reader in the
form of (solved) exercises as well as problems for further
exploration, this book is enjoyable reading for students,
educators, game enthusiasts and researchers alike. Excerpts from
reviews of the first edition: "The book is an unusual, but very
welcome, form of mathematical writing: recreational mathematics
taken seriously and serious mathematics treated historically. I
don't hesitate to recommend this book to students, professional
research mathematicians, teachers, and to readers of popular
mathematics who enjoy more technical expository detail." Chris
Sangwin, The Mathematical Intelligencer 37(4) (2015) 87f. "The book
demonstrates that the Tower of Hanoi has a very rich mathematical
structure, and as soon as we tweak the parameters we surprisingly
quickly find ourselves in the realm of open problems." Laszlo
Kozma, ACM SIGACT News 45(3) (2014) 34ff. "Each time I open the
book I discover a renewed interest in the Tower of Hanoi. I am sure
that this will be the case for all readers." Jean-Paul Allouche,
Newsletter of the European Mathematical Society 93 (2014) 56.
This is the first comprehensive monograph on the mathematical
theory of the solitaire game "The Tower of Hanoi" which was
invented in the 19th century by the French number theorist Edouard
Lucas. The book comprises a survey of the historical development
from the game's predecessors up to recent research in mathematics
and applications in computer science and psychology. Apart from
long-standing myths it contains a thorough, largely self-contained
presentation of the essential mathematical facts with complete
proofs, including also unpublished material. The main objects of
research today are the so-called Hanoi graphs and the related
Sierpinski graphs. Acknowledging the great popularity of the topic
in computer science, algorithms and their correctness proofs form
an essential part of the book. In view of the most important
practical applications of the Tower of Hanoi and its variants,
namely in physics, network theory, and cognitive (neuro)psychology,
other related structures and puzzles like, e.g., the "Tower of
London", are addressed. Numerous captivating integer sequences
arise along the way, but also many open questions impose
themselves. Central among these is the famed Frame-Stewart
conjecture. Despite many attempts to decide it and large-scale
numerical experiments supporting its truth, it remains unsettled
after more than 70 years and thus demonstrates the timeliness of
the topic. Enriched with elaborate illustrations, connections to
other puzzles and challenges for the reader in the form of (solved)
exercises as well as problems for further exploration, this book is
enjoyable reading for students, educators, game enthusiasts and
researchers alike.

In various African countries, governments have been forced to
accept or establish decentralized structures in order to help the
poor sections of their population gain access to and influence
development resources. There is confusion about the role and
function of such decentralized structures, as well as sustainable
political approaches to the top-down transfer of government power
in the context of local agendas. This book highlights major aspects
of the legitimacy of local power as presented by both modern
self-government structures and traditional communal authorities.
Although the main focus is on Southern Africa (Namibia, South
Africa, Botswana), examples from other regions (Ghana, Democratic
Republic of Congo) are also presented.

In dieser Diplomarbeit werden Impulse, Potenziale und Probleme von
Electronic Government in Beziehung zur Entwicklung der
Verwaltungsreform und Verwaltungsinformatik in Deutschland gestellt
und in einem weiteren Schritt praxisorientiert konkretisiert. Die
Untersuchung gegliedert sich in drei Teile: Im ersten Teil wird
entwicklungsgeschichtlich dargestellt, wie sich sowohl
Verwaltungsreformen als auch E-Government in Deutschland ausgepr gt
haben. Dazu wird in Anlehnung an Ergebnisse der internationalen
Verwaltungsforschung ein Analyserahmen entwickelt. Als Ergebnis
dieses Teils k nnen Modernisierungsimpulse, -potenziale und

Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Das Ziel dieser Diplomarbeit ist es,
Impulse und Potenziale von Electronic Government einerseits anhand
der Entwicklungen und Erfahrungen der Verwaltungsreform und
Verwaltungsinformatik in Deutschland zu verstehen und in einem
weiteren Schritt, praxisorientiert zu problematisieren.
Grundsatzliche Erfolgsvoraussetzungen fur E-Government lassen sich
bislang mangels einer generellen Theorie kaum kausal erklaren,
sondern hochstens normativ behaupten. Im konkreten Fall erweisen
sich normative Reformthesen jedoch, das haben unzahlige Studien der
Verwaltungswissenschaft gezeigt, meist als unvollstandig,
relativierbar und von geringem praktischen Wert. Insbesondere
mangelt es praskriptiven Empfehlungen haufig an
empirisch-analytischen Studien, die Kontextbedingungen systematisch
berucksichtigen. In dieser Arbeit sollen daher Potenziale und
Probleme einer E-Government-Verwaltungsmodernisierung anhand einer
konkreten Fallstudie untersucht werden, um die Tur zu einem
umfassenden Verstandnis der Erfolgsvoraussetzungen und
Kontextbedingungen dieses Reformkurses einen Spalt weiter zu
offnen. Gang der Untersuchung: Im ersten Teil wird
entwicklungsgeschichtlich dargestellt, wie sich sowohl
Verwaltungsreformen als auch E-Government in Deutschland ausgepragt
haben. Dazu wird in Anlehnung an Ergebnisse der internationalen
Verwaltungsforschung ein Betrachtungsrahmen entwickelt, um
Beziehungen und Wechselwirkungen zwischen beidem zu analysieren.
Als Ergebnis dieses Teils konnen Modernisierungsimpulse,
-potenziale und -probleme von Electronic Government, bezogen auf
den aktuellen Forschungsstand der Verwaltungsreform und
Verwaltungsinformatik, systematisch aufgefachert werden. Der zweite
Teil bildet den empirischen Kern der Arbeit. In einer detaillierten
Fallstudie wird ein komplexer Verwa
Insects affect the health and well-being of humans every day,
everywhere, so the entomology departments that study them make a
crucial contribution to many aspects of life, Indeed, agricultural
success in the United States and other countries depends upon the
work of entomology departments within the land grant system at
universities across the nation. ""Entomology at the Land Grant
University"" is a thorough look at how entomology departments have
adapted to shifting demographics, changes in land use patterns,
environmental issues, and advances in the life sciences. With
world-renowned contributors from both academia and industry, this
volume is the culmination of a series of mini-symposia celebrating
the 100th anniversary of the Department of Entomology at Texas
A&M University. It addresses topics such as roles of entomology
departments, the function of the extension service, the global
reach of entomological research, genetic engineering, and future
innovations in pest management and insecticide design. This
insightful look into the workings of a university department within
the context of a rapidly changing scientific, social, and economic
climate will appeal to anyone associated with a land grant
university, extension or regulatory agency, or related industry.
