Thermo-energetic Design of Machine Tools
The approach to the solution within the CRC/TR 96 financed by the German Research Foundation DFG aims at measures that will allow manufacturing accuracy to be maintained under thermally unstable conditions with increased productivity, without an additional demand for energy for tempering. The challenge of research in the CRC/TR 96 derives from the attempt to satisfy the conflicting goals of red…

Stochastic Models for Structured Populations
This course concerns the stochastic modeling of population dynamics. In the first part, we focus on monotype populations described by one-dimensional stochastic differential equations with jumps. We consider their scaling limits for large populations and study the long time behavior of the limiting processes. It is achieved, thanks to martingale properties, Poisson measure representations, a…

Stochastic Modeling of Thermal Fatigue Crack Growth
The assessment of thermal fatigue crack growth due to turbulent mixing of hot and cold coolants presents significant challenges, in particular, to determine the thermal loading spectrum. Thermal striping is defined as a random temperature fluctuation produced by incomplete mixing of fluid streams at different temperatures, and it is essentially a random phenomenon in a temporal sense.

Origins of Biogeography : The role of biological classification in early plan…
This book presents a revised history of early biogeography and investigates the split in taxonomic practice, between the classification of taxa and the classification of vegetation. It moves beyond the traditional belief that biogeography is born from a synthesis of Darwin and Wallace and focuses on the important pioneering work of earlier practitioners such as Zimmermann, Stromeyer, de Candoll…
