Kazimierz Twardowski - einer der beruhmtesten Schuler des Philosophen Franz Brentano und Grunder der philosophischen Lemberg-Warschauer Schule - verbrachte die ersten 30 Jahre seines Lebens in Wien. In dem Buch wird die pragende Wiener Periode (1866 - 1895) rekonstruiert und dabei der Versuch unternommen, die kulturelle und intellektuelle Atmosphare der Jugendjahre Twardowskis lebendig werden zu lassen. Ferner werden seine Arbeiten der Wiener Jahre analysiert und untersucht, welchen Einfluss sie auf die reife Philosophie Twardowskis hatten.

Das Werk ist ein umfassendes Lehrbuch der Automatisierungs- und Prozessleittechnik. Es wendet sich an Studenten technischer Studienrichtungen. Gleichzeitig ist es ein Nachschlagewerk für Ingenieure in der industriellen Praxis. Die Besonderheit des Buchs liegt in der Behandlung der industriellen Automationstechnik unter spezieller Betrachtung der in den Systemen auftretenden komplex vernetzten Informationsflüsse. Dabei werden Informationsprozesse von der strategischen Unternehmensebene bis hin zur operativen Feldebene behandelt. Der Bogen des Buchs spannt sich von den Komponenten und Verfahren der Automatisierungs- und Leittechnik bis hin zu modernen kognitiven Informationstechnologien. Dem industriellen Prozess- und Projektmanagement ist ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet. Der Leser kennt nach dem Studium des Buchs die wichtigsten Konzepte und Komponenten der industriellen Automatisierungs- und Prozessleittechnik und kann die eingesetzten Systeme und Verfahren aus der Sicht des Unternehmensmanagements bewerten.

This multi-author, six-volume work summarizes our current knowledge on the developmental biology of all major invertebrate animal phyla. Evolutionary Developmental Biology of Invertebrates is a must-have for any scientist, teacher or student interested in developmental and evolutionary biology as well as in general invertebrate zoology.

The largely taxon-based chapters are supplemented by essays on topical aspects relevant to modern-day EvoDevo research such as regeneration, embryos in the fossil record, homology in the age of genomics and the role of EvoDevo in the context of reconstructing evolutionary and phylogenetic scenarios.

Proceedings of the Fourteenth CISM-IFToMM Smposium

Environmental Geomechanics covers a broad class of problems where deforming geomaterials are involved, usually coupled with fluid flow and transport of some substance. water, water vapour and air, filling the pores of geomaterials as happens in waste disposal problems or durability problems.

The volumes of this classic series, now referred to simply as "Zechmeister" after its founder, L. The volumes contain contributions on various topics related to the origin, distribution, chemistry, synthesis, biochemistry, function or use of various classes of naturally occurring substances ranging from small molecules to biopolymers.

Controlling turbulence is an important issue for a number of technological applications. Several methods to modulate turbulence are currently being investigated. This book describes various aspects of turbulence structure and modulation, and explains and discusses the most promising techniques in detail.

Preface.- Rolling Contact Phenomena - Linear Elasticity.- Finite Element Methods for Rolling Contact.- Plastic Deformation in Rolling Contact.- Non-Steady State Rolling Contact and Corrugations.- Modelling of Tyre Force and Moment Generation.- Rolling Noise.- Lubrication

The book covers the theories and physics of advanced new optical measuring methods and problems of experimental performance, recent achievements in the basic interferometric methods holography, speckle-interferometry, shearography as well as linear/non-linear photoelasticity and photoviscoelasticity, Moire- and grid-techniques.

This book presents, as a single package, three semingly contradictory and often competitive approaches to deal with ever present uncertainty in science and engineering.

The most significant of the events was the Conference on "Environmental Applications of Mechanics and Computer Science", where prominent scientists in the field present significant examples of the scientific approach to large scale phenomena involved in environmental problems.

The subject of the book is directly related to environmental noise and vibration phenomena (sound emission by vibrating structures, prediction and reduction, ...). It covers all aspects of the phenomena, from the mathematical modeling up to the applications to automotive industrial problems.

The book covers selected problems in free surface flows. The topics range from linear and nonlinear gravity and capillary waves, thin film dynamics, equilibrium shape, stability, and dynamics of capillary surfaces to thermal Marangoni effects in several geometries.

The book contains the discussion of some important aspects of localization and fracture phenomena in inelastic solids (single crystals, polycrystalline solids and geological materials). Numerical solutions based on finite element method of practicular evolution problems with localization of plastic deformation are considered.

The vulnerability of cultural artifacts necessitates the working out of a system which takes into account the problems of architecture, engineering and seismology among others. Written by architects and engineers, this book attempts to offer answers and give guidelines for both architects and engineers working in this field.

This book presents the contents of a CISM Course on waves and instabilities in plasmas. For beginners and for advanced scientists a review is given on the state of knowledge in the field. Customers can obtain a broad survey.

The treatment of chaotic dynamics in mathematics and physics during last two decades has led to a number of new concepts for the investigation of complex behavior in nonlinear dynamical processes.

Gegenuber dem lange vorherrschenden Zerrbild des Wiener Kreises als einheitlicher und philosophisch naiver Schule werden hier durch Erhellung des Kontextes der einzelnen Arbeiten und das Aufzeigen von internen wie externen Beziehungen sowohl die Eigentumlichkeit als auch die kontinuierliche Weiterentwicklung von Schlicks Denken deutlich.

The work deals with the thermomechanical mechanical behavior of microstructured materials, which has attracted considerable interest from both the academic and the industrial research communities.

An updated account of the state of the art in the subject, presenting recent progress in two active and related areas of continuum mechanics: fracture mechanics and structured deformations.

This book, intended for people in engineering and fundamental sciences, presents an integrated mathematical methodology for advanced dynamics and control of structures and machines, ranging from the derivation of models up to the control synthesis problem.

The book describes the results of research into the living world, which were conducted in such a way as to provide inspiration to engineering design of walking machines. The biological topics are presented in a form that is intelligible to engineers and can be applied in the design of mechanical devices.

Eines der zentralen Anliegen des "Wiener Kreises" ist heute aktueller denn je. Es bestand darin sichtbar zu machen, wie ganz unterschiedliche, weit auseinanderliegende Bereiche wissenschaftlicher Theoriebildung miteinander in Zusammenhang gebracht werden können. Genannt sei hier Otto Neurath, als Motor der ganzen Sache.Die "Encyclopedia of United Science" sollte eine Vorstellung davon vermitteln, wie moderne Wissenschaften ihre Erkenntnisansprüche formulieren und überprüfen. Sie knüpfte ausdrücklich an die Enzyklopädisten der französischen Aufklärung an.Die in diesem Band zusammengefassten Beiträge durchleuchten das Aufklärungskonzept, das der Enzyklopädie der Logischen Empiristen zugrunde liegt.
