Mean curvature flow and related flows are important tools in mathematics and mathematical physics. For example, the famous Penrose conjecture in general relativity by Huisken and Ilmanan was based on a curvature flow approach. Under mean curvature flow, surfaces usually develop singularities in finite time. This book presents techniques in the study of singularities of mean curvature flow. It details the influential work of  K. Brakke as well as such recent developments as relations to regularity theory for minimal surfaces, as in Allard's and de Giorgi's work.

Die Moore der Schweiz sind im Wesentlichen seit der Annahme der Rothenthurm-Initiative im Jahr 1987 in ihrer Fläche geschützt. Doch wie steht es um sie heute? Und wie haben sich die Flach- und Hochmoore der Schweiz in den letzten 20 Jahren entwickelt? Viele Moore wurden in dieser Zeit regeneriert. Waren die entsprechenden Regenerationsmaßnahmen erfolgreich?Ein Autorenteam aus Moor-Expertinnen und -Experten geht diesen Fragen nach und beantwortet sie in diesem mit vielen Fotos und Graphiken illustrierten Buch. Es stellt die generelle Entwicklung der Moore in der Schweiz dar und zeigt, wie diese erforscht werden kann. Außerdem werden konkrete Fallbeispiele einzelner Moore beschrieben, insbesondere Hochmoore. Das Buch schließt mit wichtigen Forderungen für den Schutz der Moore in der Schweiz.

In this volume authors of academia and practice provide practitioners, scientists and graduate students with a good overview of basic methods and paradigms, as well as important issues and trends across the broad spectrum of parallel and distributed processing. In particular, the book covers fundamental topics such as efficient parallel algorithms, languages for parallel processing, parallel operating systems, architecture of parallel and distributed systems, management of resources, tools for parallel computing, parallel database systems and multimedia object servers, and networking aspects of distributed and parallel computing. Three chapters are dedicated to applications: parallel and distributed scientific computing, high-performance computing in molecular sciences, and multimedia applications for parallel and distributed systems. Summing up, the Handbook is indispensable for academics and professionals who are interested in learning the leading expert`s view of the topic.
