Parenthesis has recently seen a considerable surge in interest. This volume presents the – often contrasting – theoretical positions on parenthetical verbs and examines them from different analytical perspectives. The initial theoretical section contains, among others, two contributions presenting diametrically opposed analyses of the syntax of parenthetical verbs. Although (synchronic) syntax pervades the volume, other analytical levels and approaches are also given weight: The second section provides insights into the historical and ontogenetic development of parenthetical verbs, while the third section deals with prosody and prosody-syntax or prosody-semantics mappings. The volume covers parenthetical verbs in English as well as in several other languages (Danish, Dutch, French, German, Portuguese and Turkish), some of which are rarely taken into consideration when dealing with parentheticals. Methodologically, the volume is marked by its strong empirical orientation: With few exceptions, the contributions are based on data from experiments or from corpora (historical, contemporary, diachronic, synchronic, oral, written, child, adult).

This volume of the Series SpringerBriefs in Space Life Sciences summarizes the newest finding in the field of mental health and physiological exercise in Space. Currently two major challenges are impacting human health in the western societies, one being a move towards a sedentary society, the second one being longevity. Both have a considerable impact on physical as well as mental health. Space life science research helps to understand the underlying degenerative physiological and neuro-psychological processes as living in space, living in microgravity can be regarded as a time lapse of the sedentary and aging human being. Translational research of the past years has shown that exercise can be regarded as a key factor to counteract physical and mental deconditioning in space, guaranteeing a holistic approach to health and a benefit to the socio-demographic changes of our society.

The book is written for scientists in biomedicine, more specific in aging research, sports physiology and neurosciences.

Diese Einführung in die Numerische Mathematik behandelt die Themenbereiche Rechengenauigkeit, lineare Gleichungssysteme, Interpolation, Integration, Fouriertransformation, Nullstellenbestimmung sowie gewöhnliche und partielle Differentialgleichungen sehr anschaulich. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf effizienten, rechnergestützten Lösungsansätzen, z. B. Wavelets, Splines und Mehrgitterverfahren. Viel Wert wird dabei auf aktuelle Anwendungsbeispiele aus dem Umfeld Computer Science gelegt, wie Bildverarbeitung, Computer-Graphik, Data Mining und Wettervorhersage. Historische Beispiele ergänzen die Darstellung. Dieses Lehrbuch eignet sich somit für Studierende der Informatik, Mathematik sowie Ingenieur- und Naturwissenschaften, die einen modernen Zugang zum Einsatz numerischer Methoden suchen.

Die Neuauflage wurde aktualisiert und Erfahrungen der täglichen Vorlesungspraxis eingearbeitet. Neue Anwendungsbereiche wurden mit aufgenommen, insbesondere aus der Softwareentwicklung für industrielle Anwendungen und aus dem Bereich des Internet. Zusätzlich wurde als Unterstützung eine Webseite eingerichtet, die es den Studierenden ermöglicht, interaktiv und mit Lösungshilfen die Übungsaufgaben des Buches selbstständig zu bearbeiten.
