The work presents the appearance of universal limit probability laws in physics and their connection with the recently developed scaling theory of fluctuations. Arising from these methods are investigative tools for the collective features that occur in any finite features.

Racing Bearcats and Corsairs examines two of the most competitive types of air racers flown at the Cleveland Air Races (1046-1949) and today's National Championship Air Races, held each year at Reno, Nevada. Bearcats, often modified with engines nearly twice their original horsepower, have dominated Reno beginning in the 1960s and have continued a winning tradition with Lyle Shelton's Rare Bear. Heavily modified Corsairs were the dominant airc...

The modeling of stochastic dependence is fundamental for understanding random systems evolving in time. When measured through linear correlation, many of these systems exhibit a slow correlation decay--a phenomenon often referred to as long-memory or long-range dependence. An example of this is the absolute returns of equity data in finance. Selfsimilar stochastic processes (particularly fractional Brownian motion) have long been postulated as...

Symbols are an international language, but that language is far from universal. Different symbols mean radically different things in different contexts - a cross, a crane, or a swastika each have a distinct meaning for a Buddhist, an art historian, or a student of the occult.

This volume of the International Review of Neurobiology was written to assist researchers without any previous experience with in situ hybridization, allowing them to follow the protocols and expect good results. It contains all the information required for newcomers to achieve successful in situ hybridization results, and methods for improving the technique of those already utilizing it. Published since 1959, International Review of Neurobiol...

Neun Literaturwissenschaftler und ein Theologe haben sich aus Anlaß des 60. Geburtstags von Hans-Georg Kemper zu einem Austausch über "Hermetik" versammelt - und damit über ein Phänomen, das sich per definitionem jedwedem Zugriff entzieht. Um so spannender ist es, den Filiationen der in der frühen Neuzeit aus der Theologie in die Poesie "ausgewanderten"hermetischen Tradition nachzuspüren: in Texten vor allem des 18. und, scheinbar einem ganz a...

This volume grew out of the workshop Writing Language, held at the Max Planck Institute, Nijmegen. The papers represent several lines of research into the intricate relation between writing and spoken language: Theoretical and computational linguists discuss the models that explain why orthographies are the way they are and the constraints that hold between writing and speaking a language, researchers in special education deal with the questio...

Until now, learner lexicography has been based more on lexicographic principles than on empirical knowledge of user needs. This book outlines some investigations into the use of dictionaries by intermediate learners. Research was aimed at identifying problems encountered by learners during dictionary consultation, as well as factors that help or prevent the understanding of dictionary definitions. The results show that actual user needs and re...
