Sleep disorders are most prevalent illness in modern society. Apart from being frequently ignored medical issue, their economical dimension is tremendous in industrialized countries. Tightly linked to
Prevalence of sinusitis is increasing all over the Globe. Pollution of air, but also ease of transportation and confluence of agglomerations are main factors for this evolution. Sinus disease is frequ
The twenty studies collected in this volume lead from technical investigations in late medieval and early modern history through reflection on the nature of historical knowledge to a break with histor
Five kondakarian manuscripts dating from the 11th to 13th century belong among the oldest witnesses of Russian church music. The Slavonic church texts are accompanied by a peculiar notation which repr
With this study the author «opened up a previously locked door of Beethoven research» (Martin Geck). The book presents conclusive answers to questions that had occupied critics for more than a century
Fourier analysis aims to decompose functions into a superposition of simple trigonometric functions, whose special features can be exploited to isolate specific components into manageable clusters before reassembling the pieces. This two-volume text presents a largely self-contained treatment, comprising not just the major theoretical aspects (Part I) but also exploring links to other areas of mathematics and applications to science and technology (Part II). Following the historical and conceptual genesis, this book (Part I) provides overviews of basic measure theory and functional analysis, with added insight into complex analysis and the theory of distributions. The material is intended for both beginning and advanced graduate students with a thorough knowledge of advanced calculus and linear algebra. Historical notes are provided and topics are illustrated at every stage by examples and exercises, with separate hints and solutions, thus making the exposition useful both as a course
