{Abbreviations} The number of commonly used abbreviations increases exponentially with time (new developments and so on). The abbreviations presented are a wild collection, unsorted and uncommented. But nevertheless useful to get some ideas where to look and what to search for;-). Please report errors, mistakes and news to me. A nice abbrivation collection...
