This book deals with the various thermodynamic concepts used for the analysis of nonlinear dynamical systems. The most important invariants used to characterize chaotic systems are introduced in a way that stresses the interconnections with thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Among the subjects treated are probabilistic aspects of chaotic dynamics, the symbolic dynamics technique, information measures, the maximum entropy principle, general thermodynamic relations, spin systems, fractals and multifractals, expansion rate and information loss, the topological pressure, transfer operator...

A broad introduction and overview of current interdisciplinary studies on complexity, this volume is an ideal starting point for scientists and graduate students who wish to enter the field. The book features a diverse collection of the latest research work not found in a single volume elsewhere. Among the highly regarded contributors to the volume are the 2004 Boltzmann medalists E G D Cohen and H E Stanley; G Parisi, Boltzmann medalist in 1992 and Dirac medalist in 1999; and numerous internationally renowned experts, such as S Abe, F T Arecchi, J-P Bouchaud, A Coniglio, W Ebeling, P...

Die Anwendung von Ultraschall zur Diagnose krankhafter Veranderungen hat in der gesamten Medizin in den letzten Jahrzehnten eine zunehmende Be deutung erlangt. Etwas zogernd beginnt auch unser Fach, diese Moglichkeit zu nutzen. So wurde seit 1973 an der Freiburger Hals-Nasen-Ohrenklinik dank der Initiative von Herrn Prof. Dr. W.J. MANN die Ultraschalldiagnostik von Erkrankungen der Nasennebenhohlen erarbeitet. Dabei war natiirlich zunachst die Frage nach der Notwendigkeit einer neuen diagnostischen Methode zu diskutieren. Gibt es doch schon lange bewahrte Standardverfahren wie die...
