public choice and environmental regulation

public choice and environmental regulation

Gert T. Svendsen

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
1998
sidottu
What is the appropriate design for environmental regulation? Gert Tinggaard Svendsen sheds new light on the appropriate mix of economic instruments to implement environmental regulation in the context of the world-wide attempts to abate CO2 emissions.Gert Tinggaard Svendsen offers a detailed and comprehensive study of two alternative methods for controlling CO2 emissions - tradable permits and taxation - using examples of varying success from the United States and Europe. He applies a blend of environmental economic theory and public choice theory to analyse these methods and reveals that they both have merits. He proposes a design incorporating the best features of the two approaches because it is both cost-effective and politically and administratively feasible. In the case of C02 regulation, a CO2 permit market based on the US experience with free historical emissions should be applied in relation to industry, electric utilities and environmental organisations. The author proposes that a CO2 tax should be applied to non-organized interests, such as households and the transport sector, based on the EU experience. In particular, these policy recommendations are applied to potential CO2 permit markets in Europe and the United States.The interdisciplinary approach and the resulting policy recommendations make this book relevant to policymakers and academics across the social sciences. It will be particularly pertinent to those interested in environmental economics and public choice economics.

German Democracy

German Democracy

Gert-Joachim Glaessner

Berg Publishers

When the former allies of World War II divided Germany into two provisional states, no one would have predicted that this would last for nearly half a century. Nor could anyone have predicted that sixty years later, Germany would have shaken off its Nazi past so thoroughly as to emerge as a key player in Western politics.Gert-Joachim Glaessner explains this historic transformation and provides an in-depth introduction to the German political system, its foundations and developments since 1949. Themes covered include the development of the FDR and GDR during the Cold War, the politics of Westernization, the controversies of West Germany's role in NATO and European integration. The author also examines parliamentary institutions, the role of the German Chancellor, party structure and organized interest groups. The book includes reference material from key documents, such as the German Constitution.Demonstrating how Germany went from political pariah to a model of modern liberal democracy, Glaessner offers a concise overview of the German political system in the post-war period.

Self-compacting Concrete

Self-compacting Concrete

Whittles Publishing
2008
sidottu
During the last decade, concrete technology has made an enormous advance through the introduction of self-compacting concrete. This application of nanotechnology in construction provides benefits from the perspective of materials technology and environmental protection and is presenting diverse opportunities to engineers and architects alike. Good quality concrete is compacted, traditionally by vibration. This book defines the key properties that make fresh concrete self-compacting and outlines test methods for its assessment. It covers the basic principles and underlying scientific theory, practical advice for production of SCC and its use in construction practice, and is illustrated by practical case studies and applications. All stages of the self-compacting concrete construction process are reviewed, from selection of materials, mix design and mixing process to transport, placing and finishing. The range of benefits offered go beyond fundamental aspects of concrete quality and productivity; it includes a major improvement in the health and safety of workers.Reductions of noise levels on construction sites, together with utilisation of inorganic industrial wastes such as quarry dusts are additional benefits. Information necessary for maximising the benefits offered by self-compacting concrete is provided, with an emphasis on an integrated approach, in which SCC is already selected in the design stage. Novel structural elements become feasible, in part due to the facility to pump under pressure, and management of the construction process can be adjusted to minimise costs. Significant completed projects are described which illustrate the potential benefits and key aspects of the new self-compacting concrete technology in practice.

Learning from Mumbai: Practising Architecture in Urban India

Gert Jan Scholte; Pelle Poiesz; Sanne Vanderkaaij Gandhi

Mapin Publishing Pvt
2017
nidottu
-Features interviews with several eminent architects living and working in Mumbai -Includes essays by a variety of local and international experts -The material is accompanied by a previously unpublished photo essay by Bas Losekoot Opening with the reflections of Indian architects Rohan Varma, Charles Correa and Rahul Mehrotra on the past, present and future of architecture and planning in Mumbai, the book maintains its expert local focus through a number of interviews, made with a wide variety of local and foreign architects and planners who work in Mumbai. The ins-and-outs of practising architecture and planning in this megacity are explored through their eyes. Small but exciting firms (such as Brio Architecture) find a place beside massive commercial architecture firms (including Hafeez Contractor) and activist architects (such as PK Das and Somaya & Kalappa). Teaching architecture in Mumbai is also discussed extensively. This book features several micro-initiatives that have come up with creative solutions for making the city more liveable and beautiful. A special acknowledgment must be reserved for Bas Losekoot, whose luxurious high-quality photography covers the many faces and facets of Mumbai. In his photo essay, he projects an intriguing new light on Mumbai and its inhabitants. Learning from Mumbai will be of interest to architects, planners, architecture and planning students, and for those thinking of starting an architecture or planning firm in India, as well as for anyone interested in Mumbai and Mumbai's built environment.

Tokyo Street Photography

Tokyo Street Photography

Gert Richter

No es Nada Verlag
2024
pokkari
This is a photo book about Tokyo and people I met in the streets of the metropolis - 40 artistically remastered photographs. It is a very unique and special gift for yourself or your friends and family. It takes an open mind, a lot of time, plenty of luck and a good camera to do street photography. But, alas, most of the time the result is disappointing. The "decisive moment" is a nice concept but nothing you can force to achieve. It is there, or not - mostly not. And even if you are lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and manage to press the button just then - in the end what you have is a photograph. Well, great, but 4 million pictures are uploaded to Instagram every hour (more than 1000 every second). So your picture is nothing but a drop in the ocean. Maybe a special, wonderful, beautiful drop - but: So what? Who cares? And if you have a tendency to see beauty or greatness or singularity in everyday things or scenes and take pictures thereof you are in trouble. Show them to other people and you can literally see how they think you are not quite right in your mind. These ordinary things? Photography does not end with the click on the button. If you take it seriously you know that the raw image is just the beginning. For me, the long sessions in front of the screen, the dark room of today, bring the moments when street photography metamorphises in art work. Pictures of little things, tiny moments, nothing important. But beautiful. Or interesting. Or even meaningful. At least: different.

Singular Algebraic Curves

Singular Algebraic Curves

Gert-Martin Greuel; Christoph Lossen; Eugenii Shustin

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2019
sidottu
Singular algebraic curves have been in the focus of study in algebraic geometry from the very beginning, and till now remain a subject of an active research related to many modern developments in algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry, and tropical geometry. The monograph suggests a unified approach to the geometry of singular algebraic curves on algebraic surfaces and their families, which applies to arbitrary singularities, allows one to treat all main questions concerning the geometry of equisingular families of curves, and, finally, leads to results which can be viewed as the best possible in a reasonable sense. Various methods of the cohomology vanishing theory as well as the patchworking construction with its modifications will be of a special interest for experts in algebraic geometry and singularity theory. The introductory chapters on zero-dimensional schemes and global deformation theory can well serve as a material for special courses and seminars for graduate and post-graduate students.Geometry in general plays a leading role in modern mathematics, and algebraic geometry is the most advanced area of research in geometry. In turn, algebraic curves for more than one century have been the central subject of algebraic geometry both in fundamental theoretic questions and in applications to other fields of mathematics and mathematical physics. Particularly, the local and global study of singular algebraic curves involves a variety of methods and deep ideas from geometry, analysis, algebra, combinatorics and suggests a number of hard classical and newly appeared problems which inspire further development in this research area.

The Cooperative Enterprise

The Cooperative Enterprise

Gert van Dijk; Panagiota Sergaki; George Baourakis

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2019
sidottu
This book presents a study of cooperatives as a two-layer entrepreneurial model, and analyzes cooperative enterprises. Above all, it explores how inducements (from the firm) and contributions (from its members, in their respective roles) are aligned, and seeks to answer the question of what this means for managing each cooperative as a firm as well as a group. The book is divided into three parts, the first of which begins with an analysis of specific aspects of cooperative enterprises, with a focus on the added value of cooperation, the weighing of interests, and a behavioral perspective on the imminent communities and their goals. In a structured approach, the book examines the various facets of relationships in cooperatives on a transactional, financial and control level. Further, a case study on the Dutch cooperative Rabobank illustrates what happens when members fail. In turn, part two concentrates on integrating the lessons learned with the existing economic literature on cooperatives, so as to contribute to a theory of cooperative management. Finally, the book links the theoretical approach to practice: in the third part, it reports on the outcomes of using a computerized simulation game to show members of cooperatives how to manage their business and the cooperative business at the same time, enabling them to understand and actively practice two-level entrepreneurship.

Geschichte der Mathematik in ihren Kontexten

Geschichte der Mathematik in ihren Kontexten

Gert Schubring

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2021
nidottu
Dieses Buch ist konzipiert für angehende und praktizierende Mathematiklehrer; es richtet sich aber auch generell an Studierende der Mathematik. Ebenso wird es einem an Mathematik interessierten Leser neue Zugänge zur Mathematik eröffnen.Kenntnisse in Geschichte der Mathematik werden stets wichtiger als Bestandteil der Mathematiklehrer-Ausbildung: zur Vertiefung des Begriffs-Verständnisses und aufgrund der in der Mathematik-Didaktik international stets stärker empfohlenen Einbeziehung der Mathematik-Geschichte in den Mathematikunterricht – um durch die Vorzüge einer „genetischen“ Methodik die Begriffsentwicklung bei den Schülern effektiver gestalten zu können. Das Buch will zur Ausbildung von „Metawissen“ beitragen – von Wissen über das Fachwissen. Anstatt der häufigen Reduktion der Mathematik-Geschichte in Lehrbüchern auf anekdotische Informationen oder der Beschränkung auf wenige, als ‚große‘ präsentierte Mathematiker und auf ideengeschichtliche Entwicklungen eröffnet das Buch, auf dem aktuellen Stand der historischen Forschung, neue Zugänge zum Verständnis der Begriffs-Entwicklungen durch deren Darstellung in ihren kulturellen und sozialen Kontexten. Zudem leitet das Buch dazu an, traditionelle historische Berichte aufgrund neuerer Methodologien kritisch zu hinterfragen.Den meisten Kapiteln sind Aufgaben hinzugefügt, teils zur Vertiefung der Themen des Kapitels, teils als Anregung zur eigenen Praxis, um sie etwa selbst im Unterricht einzusetzen.

Unearthing the Real Process Behind the Event Data

Unearthing the Real Process Behind the Event Data

Gert Janssenswillen

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2021
nidottu
This book is a revised version of the PhD dissertation written by the author at Hasselt University in Belgium. This dissertation introduces the concept of process realism. Process realism is approached from two perspectives in this dissertation. First, quality dimensions and measures for process discovery are analyzed on a large scale and compared with each other on the basis of empirical experiments. It is shown that there are important differences between the different quality measures in terms of feasibility, validity and sensitivity. Moreover, the role and meaning of the generalization dimension is unclear. Second, process realism is also tackled from a data point of view. By developing a transparent and extensible tool-set, a framework is offered to analyze process data from different perspectives. From both perspectives, recommendations are made for future research, and a call is made to give the process realism mindset a central place within process mining analyses. In 2020, the PhD dissertation won the “BPM Dissertation Award”, granted to outstanding PhD theses in the field of Business Process Management.

Analysing Historical Mathematics Textbooks

Analysing Historical Mathematics Textbooks

Gert Schubring

Springer International Publishing AG
2023
sidottu
This book is about the creation and production of textbooks for learning and teaching mathematics. It covers a period from Antiquity to Modern Times. The analysis begins by assessing principal cultures with a practice of mathematics. The tension between the role of the teacher and his oral mode, on the one hand, and the use of a written (printed) text, in their respective relation with the student, is one of the dimensions of the comparative analysis, conceived of as the ‘textbook triangle’. The changes in this tension with the introduction of the printing press are discussed. The book presents various national case studies (France, Germany, Italy) as well as analyses of the internationalisation of textbooks via transmission processes. As this topic has not been sufficiently explored in the literature, it will be very well received by scholars of mathematics education, mathematics teacher educators and anyone with an interest in the field.

Introduction to Singularities and Deformations

Introduction to Singularities and Deformations

Gert-Martin Greuel; Christoph Lossen; Eugenii I. Shustin

Springer International Publishing AG
2025
sidottu
In the second edition we do not only correct errors, update references and improve some of the proofs of the text of the first edition, but also add a new chapter on singularities in arbitrary characteristic. We give an overview of several aspects of singularities of algebraic varieties and formal power series defined over a field of arbitrary characteristic (algebraically closed or not). Almost all of the results presented here appeared after the publication of the first edition and some results are new. In particular, we treat, in arbitrary characteristic, the classical invariants of hypersurface singularities, and we review results on the equisingularity of plane curve singularities, on the classification of parametrizations of plane branches, and on hypersurface and complete intersection singularities with small moduli. Moreover, we discuss and prove determinacy and semicontinuity results of families of ideals and matrices of power series parametrized by an arbitrary Noether base scheme, which are used to prove open loci properties for several singularity invariants. The semicontinuity has surprising applications in the computation of local standard bases of zero dimensional ideals, which are by magnitudes faster than previously known methods. The chapter contains two appendices. One is by Dmitry Kerner on large submodules within group orbits, which relates to determinacy criteria for singularities in very general contexts. It is focused on methods applicable to a broad class of fields of arbitrary characteristic, while before the theory was mainly restricted to zero characteristic. The second appendix is by Ilya Tyomkin and deals with the geometry of Severi varieties, mainly on toric varieties. It discusses the breakthrough solution to the problem on the irreducibility of Severi varieties of the plane in arbitrary characteristic, with a focus on the characteristic free approach based on tropical geometry. We try to be self-contained and give proofs whenever possible. However, due to the amount of material, this is not always possible, and we then give precise references to the original sources.

Die Lyrik Gottfried Kellers

Die Lyrik Gottfried Kellers

Gert Sautermeister

de Gruyter
2010
sidottu
Als Lyriker wird Gottfried Keller nur noch von wenigen Gebildeten gekannt und geschätzt, in Anthologien fristet er eher ein Schattendasein. Der Ruhm seiner Novellistik („Die Leute von Seldwyla“) und seiner großen Epik („Der grüne Heinrich“) scheint den Glanz seiner Lyrik zu verdunkeln. Dass seine Gedichte, die bis in die Anfänge des 20. Jahrhunderts zahlreiche Leser gefunden haben, eine Wiedererweckung verdienen, zeigt der vorliegende Band. Er stellt Kellers Lyrik nach ihren dominanten Merkmalen und ästhetischen Formzügen in 16 Kapiteln vor. Jedes Kapitel enthält prägnante Hinweise zu einzelnen Gedichten und eine oder mehrere exemplarische Textinterpretationen. Beabsichtigt ist - unter Berücksichtigung der Forschung - die erste wissenschaftliche Gesamtdarstellung der Lyrik Kellers.Die thematische Vielfalt seines poetischen Schaffens reicht von der Natur- bis zur Liebeslyrik, von der Selbstdurchleuchtung des lyrischen Ichs bis zur kritischen Darstellung zentraler Zeitprobleme, von der Wertschätzung großer Kunst bis zur Würdigung kreatürlicher Details. Nicht minder weit gespannt sind Kellers ästhetische Verfahrensweisen. Sie entfalten - in innovativer Gestalt - verschiedene Spielarten des Humors, der Ironie und der Melancholie, sie verwenden virtuos volksliedhafte Sprachregister und symbolisch-allegorische Darstellungsweisen, sie erproben die Kunst der Zwischentöne ebenso wie die der funkelnden Pointe. Zur längst fälligen Renaissance der Lyrik Kellers ebnet dieser Band den Weg.
