Overview: Zusammenhänge aus theoretischer und empirischer Sicht„Wie hätte Hans Castorp die Arbeit nicht achten sollen? (. . . ) Aber eine andere Frage war, ob er sie liebte: denn das konnte er nicht (. . . ) und zwar aus dem einfachen Grunde, weil sie ihm nicht bekam. Angestrengte Arbeit zerrte an seinen Nerven, sie erschöpfte ihn bald, und ganz offen gab er zu, daß er eigentlich viel mehr die freie Zeit liebte. “ Thomas Mann, Der Zauberberg, 1924, S. 52 Hans Castorp, der Held in Thomas Manns berühmtem Roman, hatte das Glück, dass er sich als reicher Erbe der ungeliebten, nervenzehrenden Arbei

Overview: Die in der chemischen, biologischen, physiologisch-pharmakologischen und klinischen Literatur zeitlich und räumlich weit verstreuten Beobachtungen und experimentellen Ergebnisse ließen eine Berücksichtigung der Entwicklung der Androgenforschung geboten erscheinen, die von der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bis zur Gegenwart reicht und in keinem ihrer Teilgebiete als abgeschlossen be­ trachtet werden kann. Der weite Umfang des Tatsachenmaterials aus sehr verschiedenen Disziplinen der naturwissenschaftlichen und medizinischen Forschung machte eine Auf­ teilung unter einer größeren Zahl von

Overview: Includes supplementary material: It has been recognized since the inception of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that abstractions, problem reformulations, and approximations (AR&A) are central to human common sense reasoning and problem solving and to the ability of systems to reason effectively in complex domains. AR&A techniques have been used to solve a variety of tasks, including automatic programming, constraint satisfaction, design, diagnosis, machine learning, search, planning, reasoning, game playing, scheduling, and theorem proving. The primary purpose of AR&A techniques in such

Overview: Good old Gutenberg could not have imagined that his revolutionary printing concept which so greatly contributed to dissemination of knowledge and thus today ‘s wealth, would have been a source of inspiration five hundred years later. Now, it seems intuitive that a simple way to produce a large number of replicates is using a mold to emboss pattern you need, but at the nanoscale nothing is simple: the devil is in the detail. And this book is about the "devil". In the following 17 chapters, the authors-all of them well recognized and active actors in this emerging field-describe the st

Overview: In .Advanced Imaging in Coronary Artery Disease., the roleof several imaging techniques in diagnosing atherosclerosis,assessment of myocardial ischemia, myocardial viability, and heartfailure are broadly discussed. The issues derived from cardiac PET arepresented in relation to the conventional techniques, such asechocardiography, SPECT and MRI. In addition, newer imaging techniquessuch as intracoronary ultrasound, electron beam computed tomography,and Raman spectroscopy are given wide attention. The effects of drugtreatment, such as anti-ischemic and lipid-lowering drugs, are alsoev

Overview: Africa has been noticeably absent in international relations theory. This new collection of essays by contemporary Africanists convincingly demonstrates the importance of the continent to every theoretical approach in international relations.
