By definition Biomechanics is the application of engineering methods to study the mechanical aspects of living beings. Mostly the life scientists have the questions but lack of the specialized methods. The engineers on the other hand can handle very specialized equipment and methods, but lack in the biological thinking. If both sides are able to adapt to each other, Biomechanics is a classical field of interdis ciplinary cooperation. In the beginning, most biomechanical research was done in the field of orthopaedics. But other areas like cardiovascular research, dentistry, sports and many...

Use of information is basic to economic theory in two ways. As a basis for optimization, it is central to all normative hypotheses used in eco- nomics, but in decision-making situations it has stochastic and evolution- ary aspects that are more dynamic and hence more fundamental. This book provides an illustrative survey of the use of information in econom- ics and other decision sciences. Since this area is one of the most active fields of research in modern times, it is not possible to be definitive on all aspects of the issues involved. However questions that appear to be most important in...
