The challenges of sustainable manufacturing were accepted by several research institutions at the Technical University Berlin and lead to the establishment of the Collaborative Research Center (Sfb) 281 Dissassembly Factories for the Recovery of Resources in Product and Material Cycles funded by the German Research Foundation in 1995. This book details the numerous scientific results that are now available after 12 years of research.
The International Congress of Entomology holds regular symposia on insect life-cyles every four years. This book arose from papers contributed by most of the speakers at the latest symposium held in Vancouver, BC (Canada), July 1988. This volume provides a diverse array of studies on insect life-cycle evolution which can be broken down into three main levels of approach: (a) comparisons of genetic variation and covariation underlying life-cycle traits; (b) comparisons of variable phenotypes within and among populations of the same and/or related species; and (c) comparisons of habitat-specific traits regardless of relatedness. While the material is particularly relevant to scientists and researchers within this field, both undergraduate and graduate level students will find the material relevant to their studies.
The articles in this volume are devoted to: – moduli of coherent sheaves; – principal bundles and sheaves and their moduli; – new insights into Geometric Invariant Theory; – stacks of shtukas and their compactifications; – algebraic cycles vs. commutative algebra; – Thom polynomials of singularities; – zero schemes of sections of vector bundles. The main purpose is to give ‘friendly’ introductions to the above topics through a series of comprehensive texts starting from a very elementary level and ending with a discussion of current research. In these texts, the reader will find classical results and methods as well as new ones. The book is addressed to researchers and graduate students in algebraic geometry, algebraic topology and singularity theory. Most of the material presented in the volume has not appeared in books before. Contributors: Jean-Marc Drzet, Toms L. Gmez, Adrian Langer, Piotr Pragacz, Alexander H. W.

Rails 3 is a full stack, open source web , powered by , and this book is an introduction to it. Whether you’re just starting or you have a few cycles under your belt, you’ll appreciate the book’s guru’s-eye-view of idiomatic , programming.,
You’ll master Rails 3.1 by developing a ticket tracking application that includes RESTful routing, authentication and authorization, state maintenance, file uploads, email, and more. You’ll also explore powerful features like designing your own APIs and building a Rails engine. You will see Test Driven Development and Behavior Driven Development in action throughout the book, just like you would in a top Rails shop.
