This work presents modern implementations of relevant molecular dynamics algorithms using ls1 mardyn, a simulation program for engineering applications. The text focuses strictly on HPC-related aspects, covering implementation on HPC architectures, taking Intel Xeon and Intel Xeon Phi clusters as representatives of current platforms. The work describes distributed and shared-memory parallelization on these platforms, including load balancing, with a particular focus on the efficient implementation of the compute kernels. The text also discusses the software-architecture of the resulting code.
Churchill called it the finest feat of arms of the Great War... After a punishing winter patrolling the Strait of Dover aboard HMS Mackerel, Nicholas Everard finds himself leading a secret mission to capture a German trawler. Little does he know it is all in preparation for the Zeebrugge Raid. As dawn breaks on St George’s Day, 1918, the Royal Navy launch a desperate assault on the Belgian submarine base, scuttling multiple blockships to trap the U-boats in the harbour. In sixty minutes of fire and fury, eight Victoria Crosses are won and hundreds of British sailors sink to their deaths. But will Nick be one of them? An extraordinary portrait of violence and valour, perfect for fans of C.S. Forester and Douglas Reeman. Praise for Sixty Minutes for St. George ‘The research is unimpeachable and the scent of battle quite overpowering’ The Sunday Times

Bald nach Erscheinen des Bandes "Geschwülste" "Geschwiilste" 1956 1956 wurde wurde deutlich, deutlich, daß daB dies dies nur ein Anfang gewesen sein konnte. Die grundlegenden Beitrage Beiträge dieses Bandes spiegelten den Wissensstand am Beginn des 6. Jahrzehnts wider. Sie waren wahrscheinlich zugleich die letzten echten Handbuchbeitrage Handbuchbeiträge zu diesem Thema: umfassend und enzyklopadisch enzyklopädisch vollständig vollstandig und trotzdem als Ganzes lesbar, verfaßt verfaBt von den damals besten Sachkennern in Deutschland. Inzwischen hat sich das Handbuch der Allgemeinen Pathologie gewandelt. Entsprechend der Weitung des Faches vergrößerten vergroBerten sich die Themen. Neben den Bänden Banden tiber über die die Organe Organe zum zum Hilfsmechanismus Hilfsmechanismus des des Stoffwechsels, Stoffwechsels, tiber über die die Zelle, Zelle, das das Altern Altern usw. usw. nahm sich der Geschwulstband vergleichsweise bescheiden aus. Das steht im Gegensatz zur Stellung des Geschwulstproblems in der Allgemeinen Pathologie. Die Krebsforschung erfuhr gerade in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten einen vorher nicht geahnten Aufschwung, so daß daB eine eine enzyklopädische enzyklopadische Zusammenfassung Zusammenfassung heute heute den den Umfang Umfang des des gesamten gesamten Handbuches Handbuches einnehmen einnehmen würde wtirde -- wenn wenn sich sich jemand fände, rande, das das zu zu versuchen. versuchen. Und wenn der letzte Band gedruckt wäre, ware, ware wäre der erste hoffnungslos veraltet.
Presents the science of colour from new perspectives and outlines results obtained from the authors’ work in the mathematical theory of colour This innovative volume summarizes existing knowledge in the field, attempting to present as much data as possible about colour, accumulated in various branches of science (physics, phychophysics, colorimetry, physiology) from a unified theoretical position. Written by a colour specialist and a professional mathematician, the book offers a new theoretical framework based on functional analysis and convex analysis. Employing these branches of mathematics, instead of more conventional linear algebra, allows them to provide the knowledge required for developing techniques to measure colour appearance to the standards adopted in colorimetric measurements. The authors describe the mathematics in a language that is understandable for colour specialists and include a detailed overview of all chapters to help readers not familiar with colour science. Divided into two parts, the book first covers various key aspects of light colour, such as colour stimulus space, colour mechanisms, colour detection and discrimination, light-colour perception typology, and light metamerism. The second part focuses on object colour, featuring detailed coverage of object-colour perception in single- and multiple-illuminant scenes, object-colour solid, colour constancy, metamer mismatching, object-colour indeterminacy and more. Throughout the book, the authors combine differential geometry and topology with the scientific principles on which colour measurement and specification are currently based and applied in industrial applications. Presents a unique compilation of the author’s substantial contributions to colour science Offers a new approach to colour perception and measurement, developing the theoretical framework used in colorimetry Bridges the gap between colour engineering and a coherent mathematical theory of colour Outlines mathematical foundations applicable to the colour vision of humans and animals as well as technologies equipped with artificial photosensors Contains algorithms for solving various problems in colour science, such as the mathematical problem of describing metameric lights Formulates all results to be accessible to non-mathematicians and colour specialists Foundations of Colour Science: From Colorimetry to Perception is an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, industry professionals and undergraduate and graduate students with interest in a mathematical approach to the science of colour.
Combining economic, social-psychological and sociological approaches to trust, this book provides a general theoretical framework to causally explain conditional and unconditional trust; it also presents an experimental test of the corresponding integrative model and its predictions. Broadly, it aims at advancing a cognitive turn in trust research by highlighting the importance of (1) an actor ́s context-dependent definition of the situation and (2) the flexible and dynamic degree of rationality involved. In essence, trust is as “multi-faceted” as there are cognitive routes that take us to the choice of a trusting act. Therefore, variable rationality has to be incorporated as an orthogonal dimension to the typological space of trust. The theory presents an analytically tractable model; the empirical test combines trust games, high- and low-incentive conditions, framing manipulations, and psychometric measurements, and is complemented by decision-time analyses.
When one thinks of the wars of the eighteenth century, one thinks of the significant clashes of great military powers: the War of the Spanish Succession and the Battles of Blenheim and Malplaquet, the Great Northern War and the Battles of Narva and Poltava, the War of the Austrian Succession and Fontenoy, the Seven Years War with Roßbach, Leuthen and Zorndorf, or the American War of Independence with Saratoga and Yorktown. All of these engagements appear again and again in the lists of the great battles of world history, and there are reasons why they deserve a place in them. Yet none of them brought an end to the war in which they were fought. Not so the Battle of Kesselsdorf, which is largely forgotten today and will probably never find its way into an anthology of world- historically significant battles yet surely deserves such a place. For the immediate consequence of the victory of the Prussian army under Leopold von Anhalt-Dessau over a Saxon army on the heights near Kesselsdorf was the peace agreement at Dresden. In it, Austria once again renounced its claims to the province of Silesia, which had been lost to Prussia in the First Silesian War. In addition, Prussia rose to the rank of the great European powers and became the regional hegemon in northern Germany, while ambitious Electoral Saxony lost considerable political importance in the Empire and in Europe.
