Overview: .This book represents the first attempt to historicise and theorise appeals for ‘relevance’ in psychology. It argues that the persistence of questions about the ‘relevance’ of psychology derives from the discipline’s terminal inability to define its subject matter, its reliance on a socially disinterested science to underwrite its knowledge claims, and its consequent failure to address itself to the needs of a rapidly changing world. ..The chapters go on to consider  the ‘relevance’ debate within South African psychology, by critically analysing discourse of forty-five presidential,

Overview: Since the first edition there has been a great demand for this book. It has been revised to include up-to-date and new entries covering recent additions to the availa­ ble drugs. As well there are now sections on clinical situations, or types of patient, presenting especial problems. The authors hope this new material will enhance the effectiveness of the book as a guide to this rapidly advancing and changing therapeutic situation. A.P.B. J.A.G. J.McC.M. July, 1978 v Contents I.

Three chapters an

Overview: Includes supplementary material: To some extent, it would be accurate to summarize the contents of this book as an intolerably protracted description of what happens when either one raises a transition probability matrix P (i. e. , all entries (P)»j are n- negative and each row of P sums to 1) to higher and higher powers or one exponentiates R(P — I), where R is a diagonal matrix with non-negative entries. Indeed, when it comes right down to it, that is all that is done in this book. However, I, and others of my ilk, would take offense at such a dismissive characterization of the the

Overview: Up-to-date results.State-of-the-art research.Fast-track conference proceedingsThis book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Applied Algorithms, ICAA 2014, held in Kolkata, India, in January 2014.

They are organized in the following topical sections: collaborative networks; globalization and production management; knowledge based production management; project management, engineering management, and quality management; sustainability and productio

Overview: Es ist bei früheren Gelegenheiter. häufig darauf hingewiesen worden, daß im Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung ein neues Arbeitsge­ biet entwickelt worden sei, das auf der Entdeckung neuartiger Reak­ tionen der organischen Aluminiumverbindungen beruhe, und das voraus­ sichtlich eine Reihe von Anwendungen gestatte. Da die Arbeiten sehr intensiv im Fluß und die grundlegenden Patentanmeldungen noch nicht öffentlich ausgelegt waren, hat das Institut etwa 3 Jahre lang große Zurückhaltung in der Bekanntgabe von Resultaten geübt. Der Institutsdirektor hat dann erstmalig am 6.XI.51 auch

Overview: Presents a new method of addressing the orientation distribution function (ODF) problem by adapting one of the metaheuristic algorithms, namely the cuckoo search algorithm (CSA).Explains new methods, This book focuses on the use of artificial intelligence to address a specific problem in the brain – the orientation distribution function. It discusses three aspects: (i) Preparing, enhancing and evaluating one of the cuckoo search algorithms (CSA); (ii) Describing the problem: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is used for non-invasive investigations of anatomical c

Overview: The increasing employment of information and communication technologies in companies and households has led to considerable changes in the way services are conceived, developed, and delivered. Nancy V. Wünderlich employs a multi-method approach comprising an international qualitative study in Germany, USA and China and a longitudinal quantitative study to analyze remote services. She develops the Interactive Technology-Mediated Service Model (ITSUM) to provide a comprehensive approach of explaining both initial acceptance and repeated, continued usage of remote services in organizati

Overview: Over the last decade or so, aesthetic and art theory has played an increasingly significant role in the way work and its organization has come to be understood. Bringing together the work of an international spectrum of academics, this collection contributes, in an overall more critical vein, to such emerging debates. Combining both empirical and theoretical material, each chapter re-evaluates the emerging relationship between art, aesthetics and work, exploring its potential as both a medium of critical analysis, and as a site of conflict and resistance.978-1-349-42866-3978-0-230-55
