Books about Dibenedetto from Amazon.com

Each autumn, one of nature's most magnificent dramas plays out when striped bass undertake a journey, from the northeastern United States to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, in search of food and warmer seas. Writer and angler David DiBenedetto followed this great migration -- the fall run -- for three months in the autumn of 2001.

On the Run offers vivid portrayals of the zany and obsessive characters DiBenedetto met on his travels -- including the country's most daring fisherman, an underwater videographer who chucked his corporate job in favor of filming striped bass, and the reclusive angler who claims that catching the world-record striper in 1982 sent his life into a tailspin. Along his route, DiBenedetto also delves into the natural history and biology of this great game fish, and depicts the colorful cultures of the seaside communities where the striped bass reigns supreme.

Patients spend millions of dollars each year on diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. A practicing dentist and expert witness with over twenty-five years of experience takes a behind-the-scenes look at the world of dentistry while teaching about the importance of good occlusion, how orthodontists have failed their patients, and the many shortfalls of periodontics.

David DiBenedetto, DMD, claims that occlusion-how our teeth meet when our jaws are brought together-is of crucial importance to dental health. He also states that the field of orthodontics continues to concern itself about aesthetics, not on how jaws function, even though studies illustrate that orthodontic treatment does not increase the chances of keeping teeth later in life. Dr. DiBenedetto has made it his life's work to educate dental patients on the importance overall health plays in determining dental health and in what treatment works best for periodontal disease. You will learn:

• How periodontists and orthodontists think

• How the jaw works

• How to determine what you want from your orthodontist

• How you can keep your teeth and gums healthy

Case histories, photographs, and diagrams are provided in this informative guidebook that will help explore your difficult dental questions in a logical manner.

The focus of this modern graduate text in real analysis is to prepare the potential researcher to a rigorous "way of thinking" in applied mathematics and partial differential equations. The book will provide excellent foundations and serve as a solid building block for research in analysis, PDEs, the calculus of variations, probability, and approximation theory. All the core topics of the subject are covered, from a basic introduction to functional analysis, to measure theory, integration and weak differentiation of functions, and in a presentation that is hands-on, with little or no unnecessary abstractions.

Additional features:

Carefully chosen topics, some not touched upon elsewhere: fine properties of integrable functions as they arise in applied mathematics and PDEs – Radon measures, the Lebesgue Theorem for general Radon measures, the Besicovitch covering Theorem, the Rademacher Theorem; topics in Marcinkiewicz integrals, functions of bounded variation, Legendre transform and the characterization of compact subset of some metric function spaces and in particular of L^p spaces

Constructive presentation of the Stone-Weierstrass Theorem

More specialized chapters (8-10) cover topics often absent from classical introductiory texts in analysis: maximal functions and weak L^p spaces, the Calderón-Zygmund decomposition, functions of bounded mean oscillation, the Stein-Fefferman Theorem, the Marcinkiewicz Interpolation Theorem, potential theory, rearrangements, estimations of Riesz potentials including limiting cases

Provides a self-sufficient introduction to Sobolev Spaces, Morrey Spaces and Poincaré inequalities as the backbone of PDEs and as an essential environment to develop modern and current analysis

Comprehensive index

This clear, user-friendly exposition of real analysis covers a great deal of territory in a concise fashion, with sufficient motivation and examples throughout. A number of excellent problems, as well as some remarkable features of the exercises, occur at the end of every chapter, which point to additional theorems and results. Stimulating open problems are proposed to engage students in the classroom or in a self-study setting.

Mathematicians have only recently begun to understand the local structure of solutions of degenerate and singular parabolic partial differential equations. The problem originated in the mid '60s with the work of DeGiorgi, Moser, Ladyzenskajia and Uraltzeva. This book will be an account of the developments in this field over the past five years. It evolved out of the 1990-Lipschitz Lectures given by Professor DiBenedetto at the Institut für angewandte Mathematik of the University, Bonn..

The single studio photograph that closes this volume shows a framed print of an octopus clinging to a human figure and, nearby, a model helicopter Both subjects figure regularly in DiBenedetto's close encounters of the painted kind--over the course of 20 years the Bronx native and Guggenheim Fellow has created a cosmology of enigmatic motifs including ferris wheels, helicopters, octopi, dilapidated TV sets and haloed figures glowing with energy. He assembles them in eerie, industrial wastelands and cavernous, menacing reliquaries, creating an imminently self-destructing and at the same time wildly regenerating world where the eye ricochets from point to point, slithers from one embellishment to another. DiBenedetto's furiously worked oil paintings, composed in a dense palette of decaying, mucky tones, sometimes take him several years. Recent Drawings and Paintings illustrates his most recent works on paper and on canvas, which align him with the Surrealism of Roberto Matta and Max Ernst and the mysticism of William Blake, and with contemporaries like Carroll Dunham, Terry Winters and Gerhard Richter..
