Carleson Measures and Toeplitz Operators

In this last chapter we shall describe an application of the Kobayashi distance to geometric function theory and functional analysis of holomorphic functions

Analysis of trace anions in the water-steam cycle in power plants

This study offers some insight into the significance of water quality control in thermal power plants. In order to maintain high reliability indices in thermal plants and to realize the expected lifetime of these plants, high water quality should be accomplished. Also, the working tools of the analyst in thermal power plants and the types of problems, which help in solving daily tasks, are discussed. The difficulties the analyst might face are indicated. This review considers the implementation of standard control and diagnostic parameters crucial for water quality in all segments of a water-steam system. The subject of this paper was to analyze anion traces in the water-steam cycle, using a modern, highly sensitive instrumental method the method of ion chromatography (1S). Thus, the possibility of monitoring ionic species that can cause corrosion processes in the water-steam system is examined

Costly Signaling Theory in Archaeology

Why do people engage in seemingly wasteful behaviors and invest in extravagant material displays? Since its introduction into anthropological archaeology two decades ago, costly signaling theory (CST) has been used to provide an answer to this question. With broad origins in biology and social theory, costly signaling theory seeks to provide an evolutionary explanation for why humans engage in seemingly wasteful behaviors. In this chapter, I take stock of costly signaling theory in archaeology by (1) tracing its theoretical origins and history of adoption into anthropological archaeology, (2) highlighting key issues that archaeologists have been wrestling with in order to make CST applicable to the past, (3) discussing the breadth of uses of CST in the recent archaeological literature, and (4) presenting an analytical framework that can make CST more rigorous and in the future. Despite persistent doubts about the explanatory utility of CST, the study of signaling from an evolutionary perspective remains a key aspect of evolutionary archaeology
