Innovation Diffusion and Political Control of Energy Technologies
Two general questions stood at the beginning of this PhD-thesis, namely: • What are the mechanisms which lead to the emergence and establishment of new technologies? • How can this process of technological change be influenced politically? In this sense, conceptual and theoretical interests were the early driving forces of the research work. This is also reflected in the considerable attention paid to the nature of technological change and political control. The result is an holistic per spective which builds on inputs from different disciplines and aims at dynamic interpretation. This, however, created a severe methodological problem: How could such a comprehensive perspective be used constructively? To develop this link between theory and forward-looking, policy-oriented analysis, and to devise a methodology which showed explicitly how this approach could be used in a con structive way were in fact the major challenges of this research project. The appli cation to the example of combined heat and power generation, and the comparison of the developments in the UK and in Germany serve the purpose to demonstrate how this approach and methodology can be implemented in practice. These as pects were also of particular interest to the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS), one ofthe institutes of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, where most of the research work reported in this PhD-thesis was carried out.

Mathematik in der Chemie
Karl Jug hat dieses Buch für Chemiestudenten nach dem Diplomvorexamen geschrieben. Es baut auf die Grundvorlesung "Mathematik für Chemiker" auf. Das Interesse an mathematischen Methoden ist seit Erscheinen der ersten Auflage nicht nur in der Technischen und Theoretischen Chemie wesentlich stärker geworden. Der Autor hat deshalb die Darstellung durch anschauliche Beispiele und Übungsaufgaben erweitert und so das Selbststudium erleichtert. In der zweiten Auflage ist der Integralteil der Vektoranalyse vervollständigt, und Generatoren in der Gruppentheorie und numerische Lösungsmethoden bei Differentialgleichungen sind neu hinzugekommen. Ein umfangreicher Anhang mit Lösungen für die Übungen ergänzt die Darstellung.

Mathematische Werke
The German mathematician Karl Weierstrass (1815–97) is generally considered to be the father of modern analysis. His clear eye for what was important is demonstrated by the publication, late in life, of his polynomial approximation theorem; suitably generalised as the Stone–Weierstrass theorem, it became a central tool for twentieth-century analysis. Furthermore, the Weierstrass nowhere-differentiable function is the seed from which springs the entire modern theory of mathematical finance. The best students in Europe came to Berlin to attend his lectures, and his rigorous style still dominates the first analysis course at any university. His seven-volume collected works in the original German contain not only published treatises but also records of many of his famous lecture courses. Edited by Johannes Knoblauch (1855–1915), Volume 5 was published in 1915.

Interpreting Kant's Critiques
Karl Ameriks here collects his most important essays to provide a uniquely detailed and up-to-date analysis of Kant's main arguments in all three major areas of his work: theoretical philosophy (Critique of Pure Reason), practical philosophy (Critique of Practical Reason), and aesthetics (Critique of Judgment).A substantial, specially written introduction sets out common themes in the structure and interpretation of Kant's Critical philosophy. The first part of the book includes several of the author's well-known essays on the Critique of Pure Reason , emphasizing Kant's central theoretical notions of a transcendental deduction and transcendental idealism, and providing an extensive review of recent English and German scholarship in this area. Part II includes new discussions of theCritique of Practical Reason and its relation to Kant's other main work in moral theory, the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals. Part III focuses on taste and the Critique of Judgment, and on the controversial hypothesis that even in this area Kant's position is fundamentally objective and conceptual.This collection has two distinctive characteristics. First, it demonstrates in detail how, for understanding the basic structure of any one of Kant's Critiques, it is extremely important and helpful to keep in mind its logical and historical relation to Kant's other Critiques - and hence to track the parallels and differences between theoretical, practical, and aesthetic forms of judgment and reason. Secondly, the book makes interpretation itself a central issue. That is,not only does it offer a series of interrelated interpretations of Kant's main works, along with a detailed comparison and assessment of other interpretations, but it also argues that the difficulty of interpretation is itself a central feature of the Critical philosophy, and that the difficulties of that philosophyhave become paradigmatic for modern philosophy in general. Interpreting Kant's Critiques complements and extends the arguments of the author's earlier books, Kant's Theory of Mind and Kant and the Fate of Autonomy. It will find a wide readership not just amongst Kant specialists but among the many philosophers following in his footsteps.

Grundrisse
Written during the winter of 1857-8, the Grundrisse was considered by Marx to be the first scientific elaboration of communist theory. A collection of seven notebooks on capital and money, it both develops the arguments outlined in the Communist Manifesto (1848) and explores the themes and theses that were to dominate his great later work Capital. Here, for the first time, Marx set out his own version of Hegel's dialectics and developed his mature views on labour, surplus value and profit, offering many fresh insights into alienation, automation and the dangers of capitalist society. Yet while the theories in Grundrisse make it a vital precursor to Capital, it also provides invaluable descriptions of Marx's wider-ranging philosophy, making it a unique insight into his beliefs and hopes for the foundation of a communist state.

Selecta Mathematica
Karl Menger, one of the founders of dimension theory, belongs to the most original mathematicians and thinkers of the twentieth century. He was a member of the Vienna Circle and the founder of its mathematical equivalent, the Viennese Mathematical Colloquium. Both during his early years in Vienna, and after his emigration to the United States, Karl Menger made significant contributions to a wide variety of mathematical fields, and greatly influenced some of his colleagues. The Selecta Mathematica contain Menger's major mathematical papers, based on a personal selection by himself out of his extensive writings. They deal with topics as diverse as topology, geometry, analysis and algebra, as well as writings on economics, sociology, logic, philosophy and mathematical results. The two volumes are a monument to the diversity and originality of Menger's ideas.

Mathematik für Informatiker 1
Die beiden Bände "Mathematik für Informatiker", deren ersten wir hiermit vor legen, beruhen auf einem viersemestrigen Vorlesungskurs, den die beiden Verfasser in den letzten Jahren an der Universität Paderbom gehalten haben. Die Schwie rigkeiten einer solchen Vorlesung liegen auf der Hand: Einerseits kann und darf auf mathematische Exaktheit nicht verzichtet werden, andererseits passen - auch wegen der Kürze der zur Verfügung stehenden Zeit - zu komplexe mathematische Begriffe und langwierige Beweise nicht in eine solche Vorlesung. Bei der Planung dieser Vor lesung versuchten wir, soweit dies möglich war, den algorithmischen Standpunkt in den Vordergrund zu stellen. Bei den Beweisen wurde, wann immer dies möglich war, einer konstruktiven Version der Vorzug gegeben. So enthält dieses Buch manche Details, die üblicherweise in den Rahmen einer Numerikvorlesung fallen. Nach dem einleitenden Kapitell behandelt Kapitel 2 die Grundlagen der Ma trizenrechnungj die Kapitel 3 - 6 stellen Hilfsmittel aus der Analysis bereit. Kapitel 2 und Kapitel 3 - 6 sind voneinander unabhängig und können auch in umgekehrter Reihenfolge studiert werden. Zur Zitierweise: Innerhalb eines Kapitels werden die einzelnen Abschnitte in der Form (1. 1) zitiert, Formelnummern in der Form (1. 1. 1). Verweise auf andere Kapitel geschehen in der Form 1(1. 1). Am Schluß werden die Lehrbücher aufgeführt, auf die im Text hingewiesen wird. Außerdem werden einige Lehrbücher angegeben, die den Stoff dieses Bandes vertiefen. Die beiden ersten Kapitel beruhen im wesentlichen auf einer von Dr. W. Trinks angefertigten Vorlesungsausarbeitung.

Experiencing Irony in the First Gospel
The Gospel of Matthew is both deliberately deceptive and emotionally compelling.Karl McDaniel explores ways in which the narrative of the Gospel of Matthew elicits and develops the emotions ofsuspense, surprise, and curiosity within its readers. While Matthew 1:21 invites readers to expect Jewish salvation, progressive failure of the plot's main characters to meet Jesus' salvation requirements creates increasing suspense for the reader. How will Jesus save 'his people'? The commission to the Gentiles at the Gospel's conclusion provokes reader surprise, and the resulting curiosity calls readers back to the narrative's beginning.Upon rereading with a retrospective view, readers discover that the Gentile mission was actually foreshadowed throughout the narrative, even from its beginning, and they are invited to partake in Jesus' final commission.

Crossing of Heaven
Among the group of physics honors students huddled in 1957 on a Colorado mountain watching Sputnik bisect the heavens, one young scientist was destined, three short years later, to become a key player in America’s own top-secret spy satellite program. One of our era’s most prolific mathematicians, Karl Gustafson was given just two weeks to write the first US spy satellite’s software. The project would fundamentally alter America’s Cold War strategy, and this autobiographical account of a remarkable academic life spent in the top flight tells this fascinating inside story for the first time. Gustafson takes you from his early pioneering work in computing, through fascinating encounters with Nobel laureates and Fields medalists, to his current observations on mathematics, science and life. He tells of brushes with death, being struck by lightning, and the beautiful women who have been a part of his journey.

Karl Radek on China
This collection of documents, sealed for years in Stalin's secret archives, gathers some of Karl Bernhardovich Radek's most important contributions to the early Soviet debates about China and its working-class. Radek (1885-1939) was the foremost Soviet specialist on China, a leading activist in the Russian revolutionary movement, and a leader of the Trotskyist Opposition. In these letters, articles, and minutes he presents an original conception of the history of China from ancient times to the twentieth century, as well as a delineation of the fundamental political problems of China in the 1920s. The appendices also contain communications between Trotsky and Radek, as well as the "Chronological Information" of Zionviev and Trotsky, outlining the most important stages of the struggle of the United Left Opposition against the Stalinist majority in the All-Union Commuist Party regarding problems of the first Chinese revolution.None of the documents collected here have ever been published in English.

Crossing the Boundaries of Life
A close look at Günter Blobel’s transformative contributions to molecular cell biology. The difficulty of reconciling chemical mechanisms with the functions of whole living systems has plagued biologists since the development of cell theory in the nineteenth century. As Karl S. Matlin argues in Crossing the Boundaries of Life, it is no coincidence that this longstanding knot of scientific inquiry was loosened most meaningfully by the work of a cell biologist, the Nobel laureate Günter Blobel. In 1975, using an experimental setup that did not contain any cells at all, Blobel was able to target newly made proteins to cell membrane vesicles, enabling him to theorize how proteins in the cell distribute spatially, an idea he called the signal hypothesis. Over the next twenty years, Blobel and other scientists were able to dissect this mechanism into its precise molecular details. For elaborating his signal concept into a process he termed membrane topogenesis—the idea that each protein in the cell is synthesized with an "address" that directs the protein to its correct destination within the cell—Blobel was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1999. Matlin argues that Blobel’s investigative strategy and its subsequent application addressed a fundamental unresolved dilemma that had bedeviled biology from its very beginning—the relationship between structure and function—allowing biology to achieve mechanistic molecular explanations of biological phenomena. Crossing the Boundaries of Life thus uses Blobel’s research and life story to shed light on the importance of cell biology for twentieth-century science, illustrating how it propelled the development of adjacent disciplines like biochemistry and molecular biology.

Praktische Mathematik
Die praktische Mathematik beschäftigt sich mit Verfahren zur Lösung typischer mathematischer Grundaufgaben, die in Anwendungsgebieten der Mathematik und in der Praxis auftreten, sowie mit der mathematischen Analyse und Behandlung dieser Verfahren. In naturwissenschaftlichen und technischen Anwendungsgebieten handelt es sich bei diesen Aufgaben zum Beispiel um die Berechnung spezieller Funktionen, die näherungsweise Berechnung von Differentialquotienten und von Integralen dieser Funktionen, um die Lösung algebraischer Gleichungen, von linearen und nichtline aren algebraischen Gleichungssystemen, um die näherungsweise Lösung von Differential-und Integralgleichungen und so weiter. Für die Praxis ist man dabei vorwiegend an Methoden interessiert, die die näherungsweise, numerische Lösung der Aufgaben gestatten. In diesem Buch werden die üblichen Vorkenntnisse der Differential- und Integralrechnung sowie der linearen Algebra aus dem ersten Jahr des Mathematikstu diums vorausgesetzt. Die numerischen Übungsaufgaben sind so gestellt, daß sie im Rahmen eines Mathematischen Praktikums auf programmierbaren digitalen Rechen maschinen gelöst werden können. Ein Teil der Aufgaben läßt sich bereits auf programmierbaren Taschenrechnern bearbeiten. Zahlreiche Taschenrechnerpro gramme mit detaillierten Beschreibungen der numerischen Algorithmen sind in einem Buch des zweiten Autors zu finden. Die problemorientierten Programmierungsspra chen moderner Großrechenanlagen gestatten ohne weiteres das Rechnen im Bereich der komplexen Zahlen. Eine Reihe von Aufgabenstellungen wie zum Beispiel die Bestimmung von Nullstellen bei Polynomen oder von Eigenwerten bei Matrizen ist im allgemeinen Fall nur im Körper der komplexen Zahlen vollständig lösbar.

Karl Barth, Catholic Renewal and Vatican II
From the 1920s on, Karl Barth's thought was received with great interest not only by Protestants but also by Catholic theologians, who analyzed it in detail. This study outlines how and why this happened, especially in the period leading up to Vatican II. Dahlke shows how the preoccupation with Barth's 'Epistle to the Romans' and the Church Dogmatics' triggered a theological renewal among Catholic theologians. In addition to Hans Urs von Balthasar's critical appropriation of Barth's thought the the controversy about the issue of analogia entis with Erich Przywara is also dealt with.

Mathematik für Informatiker 2
Hiermit legen wir den abschließenden Band unserer "Mathematik für Informati- ker" vor. Auch hier haben wir uns bemüht - soweit dies bei dem diesmal anspruchs- volleren Stoff möglich ist - den algorithmischen und konstruktiven Aspekt in den Vordergrund zu stellen. Die Stoffauswahl wurde u. a. dadurch bestimmt, daß auch auf die Bedürfnisse der Informatiker mit technischen Nebenfächern eingegangen wurde - so ist ein ausführliches Kapitel über Funktionen mehrerer Veränderlicher entstanden, welches für den "Nurinformatiker" erst in zweiter Linie interessant ist. Zum Inhalt: In Kapitel VII werden numerische Fragen aus der Linearen Algebra und der Analysis behandelt. Nach einer Einführung in die Gleitpunktarithmetik - die nur bei der numerischen Behandlung von linearen Gleichungssystemen in Kapitel VII, §2 und der Fehlerabschätzung bei der Berechnung von Eigenwerten von Tridiagonalmatrizen in Kapitel VIII, §5 benötigt wird - werden in §2 Feh- lerabschätzungen für die Lösung von linearen Gleichungssystemen bei Spaltenpivot- suche und Totalpivotsuche hergeleitet. Unitäre und orthogonale Matrizen werden in §3 eingeführt; neben dem numerisch ungünstigen Orthogonalisierungsverfahren nach E. Schmidt wird in §4 die QR-Zerlegung einer Matrix nach Householder be- handelt, und es wird auf die Anwendung dieser Zerlegung beim Lösen linearer Gleichungssysteme hingewiesen. Weitere Methoden zur Lösung von linearen Glei- chungssystemen werden in Kapitel IX, §3 behandelt, nämlich das Gesamtschrittver- fahren [ J acobi-Verfahren] und das Einzelschrittverfahren [ Gauß-Seidel-Verfahren]. Zum Verständnis der ersten 4 Paragraphen von Kapitel VII reichen die Kenntnisse aus Kapitel II aus.

Max Weber and Karl Marx
Karl Lowith was the son of a Munich artist and studied philosophy and biology in Munich, Freiburg and Marburg. He began his teaching career in 1928 as "Privatdozent" in Marburg, working under Heidegger, but was forced to leave in 1934. After two years in Rome, he held a chair at Tohku University, Sendai, Japan from 1936-1941. In 1941, he moved to the Theological Seminary at Hartford, Connecticut and, in 1949, to the New School for Social Research, New York. In 1952 he returned to Germany as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Heidelberg where he remained until his retirement. He died in 1973. His best known work, "From Hegel to Nietzsche", was published in Zurich in 1941 and in English translation in 1964. In "Max Weber and Karl Marx", Lowith, whose philosophical approach was a product of Heidegger's existentialism, showed how there was a convergence towards a common "life philosophy". Lowith's analysis of the philosophical anthropology of these two major social scientists shows that much of the ideological dispute between Marxism and sociology has been the result of mutual misunderstanding.
