Drawing on insights from post-Communist politics and the politicization of the central state administration, Christian Hagemann argues convincingly for the relevance of politics together with poor capacities to account for absorption problems.” Petra Stykow, Chair of Comparative Political Systems, LMU Munich, Germany “The book constitutes an admirable display of methodological rigor and empirical richness. Employing a mixed methods design, the book uncovers both general patterns and traces the causal mechanisms underpinning them. A must read for every scholar interested in EU studies more generally and the post accession politics more specifically.” Berthold Rittberger, Chair of Political Science and International Relations, LMU Munich, Germany “Hagemann has written a book of great interest to students of comparative politics, as it engages with debates about Europeanisation, implementation and compliance, and the development of post-Communist political systems. His empirically rich and analytically rigorous study of the absorption of EU funds draws attention to the importance of politicisation as a decisive explanatory variable.” Klaus H. Goetz, Chair of Political Systems and European Integration, LMU Munich, Germany This book examines new member states’ problems with the absorption of EU funds. Since accession, many new member states from Central and Eastern Europe struggle to access their billions of development funds from Brussels. While existing research mostly emphasizes the role of states’ administrative capacities to account for absorption problems, this study adds the so far neglected role of politics as party politicization to the equation. The argument is tested using a combination of fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) with two detailed process tracing case studies. This book will appeal to scholars interested in EU cohesion policy, post-accession compliance, and post-communist politics. Christian Hagemann is Research Fellow in Policy Analysis at the Bavarian School of Public Policy at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany. Dr Hagemann’s research in the field of EU studies particularly focuses on the EU’s transformative power in the post-communist space.Palgrave Studies in European Union Politics,2662-5873Public policyEuropean UnionPolitical scienceInternational organizationPolitical theoryPublic administrationPublic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060European Union Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911140Governance and Governmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911220International Organizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912010Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010Public Administrationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34030Public policy.European Union.Political science.International organization.Political theory.Public administration.Public Policy.European Union Politics.Governance and Government.International Organization.Political Theory.Public Administration.338.2724094338.94Hagemann Christianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061222BOOK9910338028003321EU Funds in the New Member States2517906UNINA05290nam 22007575 450 991030055550332120200703115037.03-319-71550-X10.1007/978-3-319-71550-6(CKB)4100000003359233(DE-He213)978-3-319-71550-6(MiAaPQ)EBC6310804(MiAaPQ)EBC5579772(Au-PeEL)EBL5579772(OCoLC)1034550578(PPN)226698459(EXLCZ)99410000000335923320180405d2018 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAdvanced Undergraduate Quantum Mechanics Methods and Applications /by Lev I.

Following in Heisenberg’s and Dirac’s footsteps, this book is centered on the concept of the quantum state as an embodiment of all experimentally available information about a system, and its representation as a vector in an abstract Hilbert space. This conceptual framework and formalism are introduced immediately, and developed throughout the first four chapters, while the standard Schrödinger equation does not appear until Chapter 5. The book grew out of lecture notes developed by the author over fifteen years of teaching at the undergraduate level. In response to numerous requests by students, material is presented with an unprecedented level of detail in both derivation of technical results and discussion of their physical significance.  The book is written for students to enjoy reading it, rather than to use only as a source of formulas and examples. The colloquial and personal writing style makes it easier for readers to connect with the material. Additionally, readers will find short, relatable snippets about the “founding fathers” of quantum theory, their difficult historical circumstances, personal failings and triumphs, and often tragic fate. This textbook, complete with extensive original end-of-chapter exercises, is recommended for use in one- or two-semester courses for upper level undergraduate and beginning graduate students in physics, chemistry, or engineering.Quantum physicsMathematical physicsQuantum opticsPhysicsChemistry, Physical and theoreticalApplied mathematicsEngineering mathematicsQuantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Mathematical Applications in the Physical Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13120Quantum Opticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24050Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Theoretical and Computational Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C25007Mathematical and Computational Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11006Quantum physics.Mathematical physics.Quantum optics.Physics.Chemistry, Physical and theoretical.Applied mathematics.Engineering mathematics.Quantum Physics.Mathematical Applications in the Physical Sciences.Quantum Optics.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Theoretical and Computational Chemistry.Mathematical and Computational Engineering.530.12Deych Lev Iauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut833849MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300555503321Advanced Undergraduate Quantum Mechanics1864296UNINA
