This text presents the mathematical concepts of Grassmann variables and the method of supersymmetry to a broad audience of physicists interested in applying these tools to disordered and critical systems, as well as related topics in statistical physics. Based on many courses and seminars held by the author, one of the pioneers in this field, the reader is given a systematic and tutorial introduction to the subject matter.The algebra and analysis of Grassmann variables is presented...

The relentless pace of innovation in biomedical imaging has provided modern researchers with an unprecedented number of techniques and tools to choose from. While the development of new imaging techniques is vital for ongoing progress in the life sciences, it is challenging for researchers to keep pace. Imaging Modalities for Biological and Preclinical Research is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of currently available biological and preclinical imaging methods, includ...

The title of the book derives from the theme of the 20th Conference on Applied Social Sciences of the Professional Association of German Sociologists, held in Munich in May 2019.The question of what concrete contributions social innovations can make to the transition to forms of sustainable coexistence and economic activity is as much the focus of this book as the question of what contribution the social sciences can make. Thus, on the one hand, it is about concrete social innovati...

Der Titel des Buches geht auf das Thema der 20. Tagung für Angewandte Sozialwissenschaften des Berufsverbandes Deutscher Soziologinnen und Soziologen zurück, die im Mai 2019 in München durchgeführt wurde.Die Frage, welche Beiträge soziale Innovationen beim Übergang zu Formen des nachhaltigen Zusammenlebens und Wirtschaftens konkret leisten können, steht in diesem Buch ebenso im Mittelpunkt wie die Frage, welchen Beitrag die Sozialwissenschaften leisten können. Es geht also zum eine...
