"Witness of Phenomenon articulates a fresh examination of the German Group Zero--Heinz Mack, Otto Piene, and Günter Uecker--and other new tendency artists, who rejected painting and introduced new art media in postwar Europe. Group ZERO evolved into a network across Europe--Amsterdam, Milan, Paris, and Zagreb. This pan-European affiliation of artists generated a continuous stream of innovative artistic statements through the 1960s, incorporating non-traditional materials and new technologies to create kinetic art, light installations, performances, immersive multimedia installations, monumental land art, and the communication media of video and television. They transformed the visual arts from the inanimate objet d'art to a sensory experience by adopting the ascendant philosophy of Phenomenology as their conceptual foundation. Drawing from a decade of research on unpublished archives of the artists and critics of this period, this publication positions Group ZERO as a catalytic art moment in the transition from modern to contemporary art. N.B. Please ensure that any images originally supplied in colour are supplied in greyscale for print deliverables (print and POD PDFs) and colour for all others (including eBook and XML)"--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Reporting a novel breakthrough in the identification and investigation of solvable and integrable nonlinearly coupled evolution ordinary differential equations (ODEs) or partial differential equations (PDEs), this text includes practical examples throughout to illustrate the theoretical concepts. Beginning with systems of ODEs, including second-order ODEs of Newtonian type, it then discusses systems of PDEs, and systems evolving in discrete time. It reports a novel, differential algorithm which can be used to evaluate all the zeros of a generic polynomial of arbitrary degree: a remarkable development of a fundamental mathematical problem with a long history. The book will be of interest to applied mathematicians and mathematical physicists working in the area of integrable and solvable non-linear evolution equations; it can also be used as supplementary reading material for general applied mathematics or mathematical physics courses.

Charles Withers explains how the choice of Greenwich to mark 0° longitude solved problems of global measurement that had engaged geographers, astronomers, and mariners since ancient times. This history is a testament to the power of maps, the challenges of global measurement, and the role of scientific authority in creating the modern world.

"Thinking about openness and implementing openness in our attitudes and actions have considerable bearing on our conception of ourselves as translators or researchers. Openness indeed questions the very role of translated texts, multilingual translation resources, the ethics of translators, their professional behavior, the self-conception of academics and researchers, as well as the role and availability of research results in society. It therefore constitutes one of the most stimulating challenges that the world of professional translation and translation studies have yet faced.The contributions to this volume review some of these topics in three thematic sections: the first and most substantial part deals with the concept of openness in ICT (open data, open tools, open computer systems, and quality evaluation of open software), the middle part is concerned with translators training and the use of open software, and the last part discusses openness in academia on the basis of the concepts of a Scientist 2.0 and Digital Scholarship. An exhaustive list of references covering the topic is given as an appendix, as well as a keyword index."

Mit dem Inkraftreten der der Energie-Einspar-Verordnung EnEV 2006 und der Einführung des Energieausweises für Gebäude innerhalb der EU ist ein starker Anstieg des Auftragsvolumens im Bereich der Gebäudesanierung zu erwarten. Dieser Band ist ein Ratgeber mit konkreten Hinweisen zur Umsetzung energetischer Sanierungsmaßnahmen, der den Planer vom Entwurf bis zur Ausführung begleitet. Alle energetischen Fragen sind entsprechend der Zielsetzungen behandelt. Großmaßstäbliche Detailzeichnungen dokumentieren konstruktive Lösungen zur Behebung baulicher Schwachstellen. Ein Überblick über anlagentechnische Maßnahmen hilft bei der Beurteilung von Möglichkeiten, Kosten und Wirtschaftlichkeit. Dass nachhaltige Verbesserungen nicht allein durch energetische Maßnahmen erreicht werden können, sondern dass die Betrachtung des gesamten Gebäudes wichtig ist, zeigen realisierte Projekte. Die Beispiele sind jeweils mit Zustandsanalyse, Darstellung der Maßnahmen und deren Bewertung dokumentiert. Now that the Energy Certificate for Buildings has been introduced throughout the European Union, we can expect to see a sharp rise in the number of building renovations. This volume is a practical guide with concrete recommendations for realizing energy-related renovation measures - it accompanies the planner from design to execution. All energy-related issues are treated according to their goals. Large-scale detail drawings document constructive solutions for removing structural weaknesses. An overview of installation engineering measures helps to evaluate possibilities, costs, and economic viability. The book uses realized projects to demonstrate that sustainable improvements cannot be achieved by energy-specific measures alone - it is also important to consider the building as a whole. All of the examples are documented with a state analysis as well as a depiction and assessment of the measures taken.

The economic crisis of 2008 has shown that the capital markets need new theoretical and mathematical concepts to describe and price financial instruments. Focusing on interest rates and coupon bonds, this book does not employ stochastic calculus - the bedrock of the present day mathematical finance - for any of the derivations. Instead, it analyzes interest rates and coupon bonds using quantum finance. The Heath-Jarrow-Morton and the Libor Market Model are generalized by realizing the forward and Libor interest rates as an imperfectly correlated quantum field. Theoretical models have been calibrated and tested using bond and interest rates market data. Building on the principles formulated in the author's previous book (Quantum Finance, Cambridge University Press, 2004) this ground-breaking book brings together a diverse collection of theoretical and mathematical interest rate models. It will interest physicists and mathematicians researching in finance, and professionals working in the finance industry.

Canada has committed to producing net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Canadian citizens need to understand why our most distinguished climate scientists and our senior political leaders think that we must meet this target. Canada and Climate Change explains the importance of policies that will ensure we meet the net-zero emissions target.

As the driving force behind the international avant-garde, Belgian artist Jef Verheyen (1932–1984) occupies an important place in European art. In the late 1950s, painting reached a ‘zero point’ partly due to his vision. Verheyen developed an inimitable monochrome painting technique by applying thin layers of paint on top of each other in an apparently steamed manner. The painting thus became a contemplative space: a window on the infinite that invites us to dream away, to stare into the void or – more conceptually – to focus our gaze. Verheyen spent a lifetime trying to reconcile tradition with innovation. His modernist adventure included ceramic experiments and oriental ideas as well as painting by the Flemish masters. Jef Verheyen. Window on Infinity shows the substantive and stylistic evolution of Le Peintre Flamant, as he called himself, through hundreds of works. Thanks to never-before-released notebooks, photos and letters, this oeuvre overview also offers an insight into the artist’s archive.
