Die Methode der finiten Elemente hat sich heute bei der numerischen Berechnung von Problemen der Elastizitats- und der Plastizitatstheorie mit digitalen Rechenautomaten all­ gemein durchgesetzt. Ihre Anwendbarkeit auf praktische Ingenieurprobleme hangt in erster Linie von den zur Verfli­ gung stehenden Computerprogrammen abo Das in der vorliegenden Arbeit entwickelte Programm "FEAPS" erlaubt die Berechnung von allgemein begrenzten und allgemein gestlitzten elastischen Platten mit und ohne Rippen. Das Institut flir Baustatik hofft, damit einen nlitzlichen Beitrag zur Berechnung solcher Konstruktionen geleistet zu haben. Die Arbeit wurde von Herrn G. Alberti als Doktordissertation (Referent: Prof. Dr. B. Thlirlimann, Korreferent: Dr. E. Anderheggen) verfasst. Die theoretischen Grundlagen des Verfahrens basieren zum Teil auf Arbeiten und Veroffent­ lichungen von Herrn Dr. E. Anderheggen, der auch diese Arbeit wissenschaftlich leitete. Eidgenossische Technische Prof. Dr. Bruno Thlirlimann Hochschule - Zlirich Oktober 1971 -8- 1. EINLEITUNG Die Berechnung von Verformungen und Schnittkraften von dlinnen Platten mit analytischen Methoden ist nur in Spezialfallen moglich. Flir allgemeine Plattensysteme werden Naherungsmetho­ den verwendet, die meistens auf einer Diskretisation aufgebaut sind. Die Methode der endlichen Elemente wurde flir die Berech­ nung von beliebigen zweidimensionalen, dlinnen, linear-elasti­ schen Platten und Rippenplatten verwendet. Diese wurde Ende der flinfziger Jahre mit den Pionierarbeiten von Argyris [1,30J, Clough [2,28J, Melosh [29J und Zienkiewicz [3] entwickelt.

The Proceedings volume contains 16 contributions to the IMPA conference "New Trends in Parameter Identification for Mathematical Models", Rio de Janeiro, Oct 30 - Nov 3, 2017, integrating the "Chemnitz Symposium on Inverse Problems on Tour".  This conference is part of the "Thematic Program on Parameter Identification in Mathematical Models" organized  at IMPA in October and November 2017. One goal is to foster the scientific collaboration between mathematicians and engineers from the Brazialian, European and Asian communities. Main topics are iterative and variational regularization methods in Hilbert and Banach spaces for the stable approximate solution of ill-posed inverse problems, novel methods for parameter identification in partial differential equations, problems of tomography ,  solution of coupled conduction-radiation problems at high temperatures, and the statistical solution of inverse problems with applications in physics.

This book gathers contributions written by Daniel Alpay's friends and collaborators. Several of the papers were presented at the International Conference on Complex Analysis and Operator Theory held in honor of Professor Alpay's 60th birthday at Chapman University in November 2016. The main topics covered are complex analysis, operator theory and other areas of mathematics close to Alpay's primary research interests. The book is recommended for mathematicians from the graduate level on, working in various areas of mathematical analysis, operator theory, infinite dimensional analysis, linear systems, and stochastic processes.

This Festschrift contains numerous colorful and eclectic essays from well-known mathematicians, philosophers, logicians, and linguists celebrating the 90th birthday of Reuben Hersh.

This book offers an account of a number of aspects of operator theory, mainly developed since the 1980s, whose problems have their roots in quantum theory. The research presented is in non-commutative operator approximation theory or, to use Halmos' terminology, in operator approximants.

Collectively, bioengineered tumors create an important resource for the in vitro study of tumor growth in 3D including tumor biomechanics and the effects of anti-cancer drugs on 3D tumor tissue.

This volume offers the most comprehensive coverage on fetal programming. Chapters are written by authors of international and national standing, leaders in the field and trendsetters. The clinical relevance of the current research is emphasized in each chapter, which also contains key points, key words, and concise summaries for ease of learning. Fetal programming affects conditions in the immediate postnatal period, as well as in later life and adulthood. These conditions include cardiovascular disease, frank hypertension, stroke, dyslipidemia, coagulopathy, increased insulin resistance-metabolic syndrome, type-2 diabetes, leukemia, testicular cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, polycystic ovary syndrome, precocious puberty, impaired immune function, renal disease, lung disease, and osteoporosis. Neuropathologies, behavioral and mental deficiencies, schizophrenia, and depression have also been reported in adults who were exposed to nutritional inadequacies in utero. Diet, Nutrition and Fetal Programming provides an overview on the effects of fetal programming on disease, and comprehensive looks at maternal nutrition factors and fetal programming effects on brain and behavior, and physiology and disease. It also provides an in depth look at specific nutrient restrictions and supplements on physiology and disease, the effects of maternal disease on fetal programming, mechanisms of programming, and a special section on the international aspects and policies on fetal programming.

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are believed to be the largest family of membrane proteins involved in signal transduction and cellular responses.
