D. M. Williams, Natural History Museum, London, UK; M. C. Ebach, Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem, Germany Foundations of Systematics and Biogeography
Th is volume draws attention to the seminal studies and important advances that have shaped systematic and biogeographic thinking and continue to infl uence its direction today. It traces concepts in homology and classifi cation from the 19th century to the present through the provision of a unique anthology of scientifi c writings from Goethe, Agassiz, Geoff roy St. Hilaire, Owen, Naef, Zangerl and Nelson, among others. In addition, current attitudes and practices in comparative biology are interrogated, particularly in relation to evolutionary studies leading to a re-statement of the principal aims of the discipline. In order to alert prospective students to pitfalls common in systematics and biogeography, the book highlights three principal messages: biological classifi cations and their explanatory mechanisms are separate notions; most, if not all, homology concepts pre- date the works of Darwin; and that the founda- tion of all comparative biology is the concept of relationship – neither ‚similarity‘ nor ‚genealogical hypotheses of descent‘ are suffi cient.
Features 7 will explode some myths currently part of biology and reassert – and re-state – the principal aims of comparative biology, especially in relation to evolutionary studies

W. Zulehner, Universität Linz, Austria Numerische Mathematik Eine Einführung anhand von Diff erentialgleichungsproblemen Band 2: Instationäre Probleme
„Numerische Mathematik“, aufgeteilt in zwei Bände, ist eine Einführung in die Numerische Mathematik anhand von Diff erentialgleichungs- problemen. Gegliedert nach elliptischen, parabolischen und hyperbolischen Diff erentialglei- chungen wird zunächst jeweils die Diskretisierung solcher Probleme besprochen. Als Diskretisierungs- techniken stehen Finite-Elemente-Methoden im Raum und (partitionierte) Runge-Kutta-Methoden in der Zeit im Vordergrund. Die diskretisierten Gleichungen dienen als Motivation zur Diskussion von Methoden für endlichdimensionale lineare und nichtlineare Gleichungen, die anschließend als eigenständige Th emen behandelt werden. Auf diese Weise wird versucht, nicht nur ein einführendes sondern auch ein in sich abgeschlossenes Bild der Numerischen Mathematik, zumindest in einem zentralen Aufgabenbereich, zu vermitteln.

M. A. Proschan, Biostatistics Research Branch, NIAID, Bethesda, MD, USA; K. G. Lan, Johnson & Johnson, Raritan, NJ, USA; J. T. Wittes, Statistical Collaborative, Washington, DC, USA Statistical Monitoring of Clinical Trials A Unifi ed Approach
Th e approach taken in this book is to studies monitored over time, what the Central Limit Th eorem is to studies with only one analysis. Just as the Central Limit Th eorem shows that test statistics involving very diff erent types of clinical trial outcomes are asymptotically normal, this book shows that the joint distribution of the test statistics at diff erent analysis times is asymptoti- cally multivariate normal with the correlation structure of Brownian motion (“the B-value”) irrespective of the test statistic. Th e so-called B-value approach to monitoring allows us to use, for diff erent types of trials, the same boundaries and the same simple formula for computing conditional power. Although Brownian motion may sound complicated, the authors make the approach easy by starting with a simple example and building on it, one piece at a time, ultimately showing that Brownian motion works for many diff erent types of clinical trials.
Features 7 Off ers an accessible, incremental approach to understanding Brownian motion as related to clinical trials 7 Shows how to use the B-value approach to monitoring diff erent types of trials 7 All three authors are experts in adaptive meth- odology for clinical trials 7 Provides insight into not only monitoring, but power, survival analysis, safety, and other statistical issues germane to clinical trials

J. Zhang , University Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI, USA Visualization for Information Retrieval
Available digitized information on the Internet, in digital libraries, and other forms of data-centric systems and applications grows at an exponen- tial rate, and at the same time is becoming more complex and more dynamic. As a consequence, information retrieval and the presentation of its results has become more and more diffi cult. Information visualization off ers a unique way to reveal hidden information in a visual presenta- tion and allows users to seek information from the visual presentation. Jin Zhang provides a systematic explanation of the latest advancements in information retrieval visualization from both theoretical and practical perspectives. He reviews the main approaches and techniques available in the fi eld, explains theoretical relationships between information retrieval and information visualiza- tion and presents major information retrieval visualization algorithms and models.

Authoritative desk reference of one of tomorrow’s breakthrough technology Provides quick access to applicable, reliable, and comprehensive knowledge Electronic contents on accompanying DVD-ROM Handy format, lucid two-color layout, uniformly styled figures
From common consumer products such as cell phones and MP3 players to more sophisticated projects such as human-machine interfaces and responsive robots, speech technologies are now everywhere. Many think that it is just a matter of time before more applications of the science of speech become inescapable in our daily life. This handbook is meant to play a fundamental role for sustainable progress in speech research and development. Springer Handbook of Speech Processing targets three categories of readers: graduate students, professors and active researchers in academia and research labs, and engineers in industry who need to understand or implement some specific algorithms for their speech-related products. The handbook could also be used as a sourcebook for one or more graduate courses on signal processing for speech and different aspects of speech processing and applications. A quickly accessible source of application-oriented, authoritative and comprehensive information about these technologies, it combines the established -publication knowledge derived from research in such fast evolving disciplines as signal processing and communications, acoustics, computer pre science and linguistics.

Th is book is intended to serve as a unique and comprehensive textbook for scientists and engi- neers as well as advanced students in thermo-fl uid courses. It provides an intensive monograph essential for understanding dynamics of ideal fl uid, Newtonian fl uid, non-Newtonian fl uid and magnetic fl uid. Th ese distinct, yet intertwined subjects are addressed in an integrated manner. It starts with coherent treatment of fundamental continuum mechanics, with an emphasis on the intrinsic angular momentum, by which the concepts of ferrodynamics are progressively built up, and serve as a foundation for later develop- ment. Flows of ideal and Newtonian fl uids are followed by a detailed presentation of basic continuum equations for applications of fl uid engi- neering, which cover the design and operations of various turbomachines, heat exchangers and fl ow elements.

G. Yago, J. R. Barth, B. Zeidman, A. Abuyuan, Milken Institute, CA, USA (Eds.) Entrepreneurship in Emerging Domestic Markets Barriers & Innovation
An oft en-overlooked aspect of entrepreneurship in American is its role in emerging domestic markets (EDM). Th ese markets – low-to-moderate income communities, ethnic- and women-owned businesses, urban areas – are frequently ignored by mainstream markets. Yet with current demo- graphic trends, they are an increasingly large component of the US population. Entrepreneur- ship can serve as a means to foster business devel- opment in these emerging communities and as a critically important way to improve the standard of living in low- and moderate-income (LMI) sectors. Increasingly, policy makers, advocates and investors understand national economic growth demands business formation among all segments of the market, and that the best attack on poverty is job and wealth creation. A robust entrepre- neurial climate helps address the challenges and harness the opportunities.
Features 7 Th e most up-to-date compilation of diff erent perspectives on entrepreneurship 7 Th e authors are highly respected in the fi eld, either as scholars or practitioners and have interacted before on this topic either as co-authors on papers or as conference discussants 7 Th e research provides historical information as well as the latest data on entrepreneurship

M. Winner , Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien Wert und Preis im Zivilrecht
Bewertungsfragen in ausgewählten zivilrechtlichen Zusammenhängen sind Th ema dieses Buches, das drei Bereiche im Detail untersucht: Privatautonom abgeschlossene Verträge, Enteignungen und ausgewählte gesellschaft srechtliche Umstruktu- rierungsmaßnahme. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Gegensatz zwischen Bewertung einerseits und Beobachtung von den bei Markttransaktionen erzielten Preisen andererseits. Das Buch fi ndet je nach Rechtsgebiet und Sachfrage zu unterschiedlichen Lösungen: In manchen Fällen sind Marktpreise ausschlagge- bend, in anderen kommt es auf die subjektive Bewertung an. Für die rechtsdogmatische Beurteilung dieser Fragen werden die Erkenntnisse der Betriebs- und Volkswirtschaft slehre berücksichtigt. Die Wirtschaft swissenschaft en sind daher Hilfswis- senschaft en für die rechtsdogmatische Analyse im gegebenen Zusammenhang. Daneben wird auf den Rechtsvergleich mit Deutschland und England zurückgegriff en, um die Ergebnisse zur öster- reichischen Rechtslage zu kontrastieren bzw. zu untermauern.

Parsing the Turing Test is a landmark exploration of both the philosophical and methodological issues surrounding the search for true artifi cial intelligence. Will computers and robots ever think and communicate the way humans do? When a computer crosses the threshold into self- consciousness, will it immediately jump into the Internet and create a World Mind? Will intelligent computers someday recognize the rather doubtful intelligence of human beings? Distinguished psychologists, computer scientists, philosophers, and programmers from around the world debate these weighty issues – and, in eff ect, the future of the human race – in this important volume.
Features 7 Th e most comprehensive analysis of Th e Turing Test - the ultimate benchmark of true artifi cial intelligence ever published 7 Features new contributions from 37 eminent scholars in computer science, psychology and philosophy, including Ray Kurzwell, Noam Chomsky, Paul Churchland, John R. Searle and Andrew Hodges
