A. Zeyfang, U. Hagg-Grün , T. Nikolaus , Ulm Basiswissen Medizin des Alterns und des alten Menschen
Unsere Gesellschaft wird immer älter! Alte Menschen brauchen eine spezielle, auf sie abgestimmte medizinische Versorgung. Ärzte müssen sich auf die besonderen Probleme und Fragestellungen der alten Patienten einstellen. Zudem führen Multimorbidität und Mehrfachme- dikation dazu, dass bei Diagnostik und Th erapie der alten Patienten stets mehrere Fachgebiete betroff en sind - eine große Herausforderung für den behandelnden Arzt! Daher ist auch im Medizinstudium das Fach „Medizin des Alterns und des alten Menschen“ als Querschnittsfach verankert. Dieses Kurzlehr- buch bietet einen praktischen Einblick in die Medizin des Alterns und des alten Menschen, der alle Prüfungsinhalte des neuen Querschnittsfachs abdeckt. Anhand von Fallbeispielen werden wichtige Erkrankungen und ihre Hintergründe in typischen Settings problemorientiert mit Anamnese, Diagnostik und Th erapie vorgestellt. Leitfragen führen durch den Fall und werden am Ende jedes Kapitels gesondert beantwortet und kommentiert. In Lerntexten wird der interdisziplinäre Stoff in konzentrierter Form dargestellt.

M. V. Wüthrich, H. Bühlmann , ETH Zurich, Switzerland; H. Furrer, Swiss Life, Switzerland Market-Consistent Actuarial Valuation
It is a challenging task to read the balance sheet of an insurance company. Th is derives from the fact that diff erent positions are oft en measured by diff erent yardsticks. Assets, for example, are mostly valued at market prices whereas liabilities are oft en measured by estab- lished actuarial methods. Market-Consistent Actuarial Valuation presents powerful methods to measure liabilities and assets in the same way. Th e mathematical framework that leads to market-consistent values for insurance liabilities is explained in detail by the authors. Topics covered are Stochastic discounting, Valua- tion portfolio in life and non-life insurance, Asset and liability management, Financial risks, Insur- ance technical risks, and Solvency.

A. Zimmermann, TU Berlin, Germany Stochastic Discrete Event Systems Modeling, Evaluation, Applications
Th e behavior of many technical systems important in everyday life can be described using discrete states and state-changing events. Stochastic discrete-event systems (SDES) capture the randomness in choices and over time due to activity delays and the probabilities of decisions. Th e starting point for the evaluation of quantita- tive issues like performance and dependability is a formal description of the system of interest in a model. Armin Zimmermann delivers a coherent and comprehensive overview on modeling with and quantitative evaluation of SDES. An abstract model class for SDES is presented as a pivotal unifying result. Several important model classes, including queuing networks, Petri nets and automata, are detailed together with their formal transla- tion into this abstract model class. Standard and recently developed algorithms for the performance evaluation, optimization and control of SDES are presented in the context of the abstract model class. Th e necessary soft ware tool support is also covered.

Marché, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI, USA; F. Jamil Ragep, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, USA; JoAnn Palmeri, University of Oklahoma, Norman, USA; Marvin Bolt, Adler Planetarium, Chicago, IL, USA (Eds.) 7 Included are more than 1550 biographical sketches on astronomers broken down into four periods: Ancient-Medieval, Non- Western, Early Modern, and Modern 7 Individual entries vary from 100 to 1500 words including the likes of Newton and Einstein as well as lesser-known astronomers like Galileo’s acolyte, Mario Guiducci. The Biographical Encyclopedia of Astronomers is a unique and valuable resource for historians and astronomers alike. The two volumes include approximately 1550 biographical sketches on astronomers from antiquity to modern times. It is the collective work of about 400 authors edited by an editorial board of 9 historians and astronomers, and provides additional details on the nature of an entry and some summary statistics on the content of entries. This new resource for historians, astronomers, and the interested public provides biographical information even on the next generation of astronomers, going beyond existing references, and enhances the information on earlier periods by including many more astronomers and by utilizing contemporary historical scholarship. Individual entries vary from 100 to 1500 words, including the likes of the superluminaries such as Newton and Einstein, as well as lesser-known astronomers like Galileo’s acolyte, Mario Guiducci. An Appendix of Countries enables researchers to locate astronomers by country, and a comprehensive subject index helps researchers to identify the authors of important scientifi c topics and treatises.

N. Yoshimura, Tokyo, Japan Vacuum Technology Practice for Scientifi c Instruments
Nanotechnology has reached a level where almost every new development and even every new product uses features of nanoscopic properties of materials. As a consequence, an enormous amount of scientifi c instruments is used in order to synthe- size and analyze new structures and materials. Due to the surface sensitivity of such materials, many of these instruments require ultrahigh vacuum that has to be provided under extreme conditions like very high voltages. In this book, Yoshimura provides a review of the UHV related development during the last decades. His very broad experience in the design enables him to present us this detailed reference. Aft er a general description how to design UHV systems, he covers all important issue in detail, like pumps, outgasing, Gauges, and Electrodes for high volt- ages. Th us, this book serves as reference for everybody using UVH in his scientifi c equipment.

A comprehensive, alphabetical treatment of basic soil science in a single volume!
Encyclopedia of Soil Science Ward Chesworth, University of Guelph, ON, Canada (Ed.) 7 Assembles more than 190 key articles by leading authorities from around the world and ca. 430 glossary terms to become the most complete single volume encyclopedia on soil science 7 Includes the following Classifi cations of Soils: FAO; Soil Taxonomy; World Reference Base Employs an Earth-Science approach 7 Packed with full-color illustrations and off ers excellent indices and cross references Soils long have been taken for granted being so commonplace and lacking often striking features. However, soil is one of the most complex media on Earth, vital for the biogeosphere and human civilization. With increased usage of soil for world food production, building materials, waste repositories, etc awareness has grown for the need of better global understanding of soil and its processes. The Encyclopedia of Soil Science provides a comprehensive, alphabetical treatment of basic soil science in a single volume. It constitutes a wide ranging and authorative collection of about 160 academic articles covering the salient aspects of soil physics, chemistry, biology, fertility, technology, genesis, morphology, classifi cation and geomorphology. The longer articles by leading authorities from around the world are being supplemented by ca 430 defi nitions of common terms in soil sciences. It should be emphasized though that the volume is not a dictionary but represents a compendium of knowledge. Graduate students, scientists and professionals, from a wide variety of disciplines and others who deal with the nature, processes and use of soil will have access to essential information and be directed to pertinent specialized literature.

Ventuno storie, ventuno autori, ventun fram- menti di vita camminando di fi anco alla scienza, nel modo più libero e sfacciato che si possa immaginare. Abbandonandosi alle digressioni, alle emozioni, alle intuizioni del cuore, alle immagini, alle sensazioni che affi ancano la pratica quotidiana delle scienza, ma che dalla scienza codifi cata non fanno parte. In alcuni racconti la scienza è metodo, strumento, modo di mettersi in relazione con cose e persone; in altri diventa idee, pensieri, comporta- menti, atteggiamenti. Ogni racconto possiede una voce che emerge dal profondo della cultura scien- tifi ca dell’autore, ma anche dai suoi pregiudizi, dal suo modo di essere persona, dalla sua visione della società, del mondo.
