WKB Approximation in Atomic Physics

This book has evolved from lectures devoted to applications of the Wentzel - Kramers – Brillouin- (WKB or quasi-classical) approximation and of the method of 1/N −expansion for solving various problems in atomic and nuclear physics. The intent of this book is to help students and investigators in this field to extend their knowledge of these important calculation methods in quantum mechanics. Much material is contained herein that is not to be found elsewhere. WKB approximation, while constituting a fundamental area in atomic physics, has not been the focus of many books. A novel method has been adopted for the presentation of the subject matter, the material is presented as a succession of problems, followed by a detailed way of solving them. The methods introduced are then used to calculate Rydberg states in atomic systems and to evaluate potential barriers and quasistationary states. Finally, adiabatic transition and ionization of quantum systems are covered.

Wo Steckt der Fehler?: Mathematische Täuschungen und Fehler (Mathematisch-physikalische Bibliothek)

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.

Wohlfahrtspluralismus: Vom Wohlfahrtsstaat zur Wohlfahrtsgesellschaft

Der Begriff des 'Wohlfahrtspluralismus' lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit darauf, daß soziale Wohlfahrt nicht allein durch staatliche Sozialpolitiken bestimmt ist. Beiträge von seiten des Marktes, von Familien, Privathaushalten und informellen sozialen Netzen sowie aus dem zivilgesellschaftlichen Bereich freier Träger und Initiativen spielen bei der Wohlfahrtsproduktion mehr als eine nur untergeordnete Rolle. Damit richtet sich der analytische Blick auf eine Aufhellung der Bedeutung von Institutionen, die jenseits von Staat und Markt, aber doch in enger Verflechtung mit beiden operieren. Der Begriff zielt gleichzeitig auch auf konzeptionelle Fragen einer Sozialpolitik, der es darum zu tun ist, gesellschaftliche und gemeinschaftliche Solidarformen anzuerkennen und zu nutzen. Eine dementsprechende (Um)Verteilung von Aufgaben und Verantwortlichkeiten zwischen staatlichen und gesellschaftlichen Instanzen in neuartigen "welfare mixes" schafft nicht nur Möglichkeiten zur Freisetzung von Synergieeffekten; sie nötigt auch dazu, die Frage nach sozial und politisch gerechten Lösungen wieder neu zu stellen. Neben einem ausführlichen Einleitungs- und Überblicksbeitrag der Herausgeber zum Stand der internationalen Diskussion enthält der Band eine Reihe analytischer Aufsätze von in- und ausländischen Autoren sowie ein Kapitel mit Beiträgen, in dem Chancen und Herausforderungen (z. B. der Stadt- und Sozialplanung, von sozialen Diensten im Bereich von Alten- und Kinderbetreuung u. a. m.) erörtert und illustriert werden.

Wohlstand ohne Kinder?: Sozioökonomische Rahmenbedingungen und Geburtenentwicklung im internationalen Vergleich

Die Autoren gehen von drei möglichen Strategien zur Bewältigung der Folgen des demografischen Wandels aus und untersuchen eine davon eingehend: die Erhöhung der Kinderzahl. Sie beantworten die Frage, warum die Geburtenziffer in Deutschland als zu gering erachtet wird und klären damit komplizierte Zusammenhänge zwischen Demographie und Wachstum auf. Anschließend untersuchen sie anhand vergleichender Studien, welche Rahmenbedingungen einer höheren Kinderzahl zuträglich wären. Daraus leiten die Autoren Handlungsempfehlungen an die Politik ab.

Wohnen und Gesundheit im Alter (Vechtaer Beiträge zur Gerontologie)

Vor dem Hintergrund der demographischen Entwicklung unserer Gesellschaft nimmt der Open-Access-Sammelband die Wohnsituation älterer Menschen unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der gesundheitlichen Situation in den Blick. Lebensqualität, Wohlbefinden, Teilhabe sowie Autonomie und Selbstbestimmung älterer Menschen stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt.

Women and Migration in Rural Europe: Labour Markets, Representations and Policies (New Geographies of Europe)

Fundamental societal changes in the globalising European countryside impact women's migration decisions. The chapters in this volume represent diverse attempts to explain women's movements from rural areas, taking prevailing labour market conditions as well as gender relations into account. Utilising empirical findings from countries including Austria, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Spain, this collection particularly aims to build bridges between research following the 'cultural turn' and functionalist explanations which refer to material and practiced ruralities. The international range of contributors to Women and Migration in Rural Europe focus on societal constructions of gender and rurality, and in doing so, address various female perspectives on rural life. The analysis of the different working and living conditions in different parts of rural Europe reveals distinct obstacles but also prospects for young women. Importantly, the book includes policy implications with respect to the challenges of demographic change, questions of gender equality and women's contribution to rural development.

Women and the Economy: A Comparative Study of Britain and the USA

Women in Commutative Algebra: Proceedings of the 2019 WICA Workshop (Association for Women in Mathematics Series #29)

This volume features contributions from the Women in Commutative Algebra (WICA) workshop held at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) from October 20-25, 2019, run by the Pacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences (PIMS). The purpose of this meeting was for groups of mathematicians to work on joint research projects in the mathematical field of Commutative Algebra and continue these projects together long-distance after its close. The chapters include both direct results and surveys, with contributions from research groups and individual authors.The WICA conference was the first of its kind in the large and vibrant area of Commutative Algebra, and this volume is intended to showcase its important results and to encourage further collaboration among marginalized practitioners in the field. It will be of interest to a wide range of researchers, from PhD students to senior experts.

Women in Mathematical Biology: Research Collaboration Workshop, NIMBioS, Knoxville, June 2015 (Association for Women in Mathematics Series #8)

Inspired by the Research Collaboration Workshop for Women in Mathematical Biology, this volume contains research and review articles that cover topics ranging from models of animal movement to the flow of blood cells in the embryonic heart. Hosted by the National Institute for Mathematics and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS), the workshop brought together women working in biology and mathematics to form four research groups that encouraged multidisciplinary collaboration and lifetime connections in the STEM field. This volume introduces many of the topics from the workshop, including the aerodynamics of spider ballooning; sleep, circadian rhythms, and pain; blood flow regulation in the kidney; and the effects of antimicrobial therapy on gut microbiota and microbiota and Clostridium difficile. Perfect for students and researchers in mathematics and biology, the papers included in this volume offer an introductory glimpse at recent research in mathematical biology.
