Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems Sturm-Liouville Theory

Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems Sturm-Liouville Theory

One of the masters in the differential equations community the late F. V. Atkinson contributed seminal research to multiparameter spectral theory and Sturm-Liouville theory. His ideas and techniques have long inspired researchers and continue to stimulate discussion. With the help of co-author Angelo B. Mingarelli Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems: Sturm-Liouville Theory reflects much of Dr. Atkinson’s final work. After covering standard multiparameter problems the book investigates the conditions for eigenvalues to be real and form a discrete set. It gives results on the determinants of functions presents oscillation methods for Sturm-Liouville systems and other multiparameter systems and offers an alternative approach to multiparameter Sturm-Liouville problems in the case of two equations and two parameters. In addition to discussing the distribution of eigenvalues and infinite limit-points of the set of eigenvalues the text focuses on proofs of the completeness of the eigenfunctions of a multiparameter Sturm-Liouville problem involving finite intervals. It also explores the limit-point limit-circle classification as well as eigenfunction expansions. A lasting tribute to Dr. Atkinson’s contributions that spanned more than 40 years this book covers the full multiparameter theory as applied to second-order linear equations. It considers the spectral theory of multiparameter problems in detail for both regular and singular cases. | Multiparameter Eigenvalue Problems Sturm-Liouville Theory

Evolution of the Ammonoids

Evolution of the Ammonoids

Ammonites are an extinct and charismatic lineage that persisted for over 300 million years. They were used with other fossils to corroborate the principle of faunal succession and launch the field of biostratigraphy. Despite intense research many important questions remain unanswered. Furthermore outdated hypotheses persist. Many new findings include a better understanding of their appearance in life their locomotion and their role in long-gone ecosystems. And of course there are still controversies; e. g. why did shell complexity increase during evolutionary history. This richly illustrated book describes the full range of ammonoids and their fascinating evolutionary history.

CRC Handbook of Medicinal Spices

CRC Handbook of Medicinal Spices

Let food be your medicine medicine your food. Hippocrates 2400 B. C. When the Father of Medicine uttered those famous words spices were as important for medicine embalming preserving food and masking bad odors as they were for more mundane culinary matters. Author James A. Duke predicts that spices such as capsicum cinnamon garlic ginger onion and turmeric will assume relatively more medicinal importance again as the economic costs and knowledge of the side-effects of prescription pharmaceuticals increase. After all each spice contains thousands of useful phytochemicals. Pharmaceuticals usually contain only one or two. Discover the Science behind the FolkloreSpices are important medicines that have withstood the empirical tests of millennia. Nearly 5 000 years ago Charak the father of Ayurvedic medicine claimed that garlic lightens the blood reduces tumors and is an aphrodisiac tonic. Today scientists say it thins the blood prevents cancer and increases libido. For centuries people worldwide have used spices to cure a myriad of ailments and to preserve foods. Now science is proving that these spices may preserve us with their antioxidant and antiseptic activities. Organized by scientific name the CRC Handbook of Medicinal Spices provides the science behind the folklore of over 60 popular spices. For each spice it lists:Scientific nameCommon nameMedicinal activities and indicationsMultiple activitiesOther uses especially culinaryCultivationChemistryImportant phytochemical constituents and their activitiesThe handbook also includes market and import data culinary uses ecology and cultural information and discusses at length the use of spices as antiseptics and antioxidants.
