English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031707095 | 539 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 41 MB
Fixed point theory of nonlinear operators has been a rapidly growing area of research and plays an important role in the study of variational inequalities, monotone operators, feasibility problems, and optimization theory, to name just several. This book discusses iteration processes associated with a given nonlinear mapping which generate its approximate fixed point and in some cases converge to a fixed point of the mapping. Various classes of nonlinear single-valued and set-valued mappings are considered along with iteration processes under the presence of computational errors. Of particular interest to mathematicians working in fixed point theory and nonlinear analysis, the added value for the reader are the solutions presented to a number of difficult problems in the fixed point theory which have important applications.

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is a powerful, fast and inexpensive analytical method. It has proven its usefulness in pharmaceutical, food and environmental analysis. This new edition of the practical TLC guide features a completely revised chapter on documentation, now including the use of digital cameras. Selected new sorbents and instruments are also introduced. Why has the prior edition been successful? All steps of the analytical procedure are clearly explained, starting with the choice of a suitable TLC technique and ending with data evaluation and documentation. Special emphasis is put on the proper choice of materials for TLC. Properties and functions of various materials and the TLC equipment are described, covering e. g. precoated layers, solvents and developing chambers, including information on suppliers. Many practical hints for trouble shooting are given. All this is illustrated with numerous coloured figures. How to use TLC in compliance with GLP/GMP regulations is described in detail, including the required documentation. Therefore the reader can very easily compile his own standard operating procedures.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-13): Chapter 2 Precoated Layers (pages 15-33): Chapter 3 Before the TLC Development Process (pages 35-68): Chapter 4 Solvent Systems, Developing Chambers and Development (pages 69-112): Chapter 5 Evaluation Without Derivatization (pages 113-123): Chapter 6 Derivatization (pages 125-151): Chapter 7 Evaluation After Derivatization (pages 153-180): Chapter 8 Documentation (pages 181-201): Chapter 9 GMP/GLP?Conforming Operations in TLC (pages 203-239): Chapter 10 Effects of Stress (pages 241-245): Chapter 11 Special Methods in TLC (pages 247-252): Chapter 12 Appendix (pages 253-270):

Deutsch | 2024 | ISBN: 3111340740 | 859 Pages | EPUB | 11 MB
Björn Hofmeister's biography of Heinrich Claß is devoted to one of the most influential representatives of the "national opposition" that shaped extra-parliamentary politics of the nationalist Right between Imperial Germany and the Third Reich. Claß, who chaired the Pan-German League between 1908 and 1939, was a lawyer by profession and became active in the antisemitic and völkisch movement around the turn of the century. Claß was demanding the implementation of völkisch dictatorship long before World War I, which he understood to be the foundation of cultural, ethnic, and political renewal of German society. His demands for territorial expansion of the German Empire that would match the ethnic distribution of "Germanness" in Central Europe as well as imperial interests as a great power made him the spokesman of Germany´s radical war aims movement between 1914 and 1918.

English | 2024 | ISBN: 303170908X | 439 Pages | PDF (True) | 7 MB
The first three parts of the book cover functional analysis, harmonic analysis, and microlocal analysis. Each chapter is designed to provide readers with a solid understanding of fundamental concepts while guiding them through detailed proofs of significant theorems. These include the universal approximation property for artificial neural networks, Brouwer's domain invariance theorem, Nash's implicit function theorem, Calderón's reconstruction formula and wavelets, Wiener's Tauberian theorem, Hörmander's theorem of propagation of singularities, and proofs of many inequalities centered around the works of Hardy, Littlewood, and Sobolev. The final part of the book offers an overview of the analysis of partial differential equations. This vast subject is approached through a selection of major theorems such as the solution to Calderón's problem, De Giorgi's regularity theorem for elliptic equations, and the proof of a Strichartz-Bourgain estimate. Several renowned results are included in the numerous examples.
