Overview: A very good knowledge of anatomical sections is necessary to be able to interpret fine imaging of the temporal bone. Both serial histological sections and CT material are presented in this volume. Three planes of space - horizontal, frontal and sagittal - are presented. The very thin histological slices make it possible to identify and study the vascular and nervous structures, section by section in and around the temporal bone. This very fine reading of the anatomical slices is an ideal aid for the clinician who must interpret normal and pathological CT sections.978-3-642-80516-5

Overview: Definiert den bislang undefinierten Begriff "Agile Master".Bietet eine umfangreiche Sammlung von agilen Methoden.Geht auf Fallstricke in der Praxis sowie die nötige Haltung bei der Umsetzung einUngefähr 94% aller Unternehmen setzen heute bereits agile Methoden ein. Das ist kaum verwunderlich, denn Agilität kann die Performance eines Unternehmens erheblich verbessern und nur Unternehmen, die agil aufgestellt sind, werden dem Veränderungsdruck des 21. Jahrhunderts standhalten können. Getragen wird eine agile Kultur durch die Menschen, die sie leben, also zum Beispiel Scrum Master, Kanb

Overview: The book will be of considerable value as a secondary text for Universities currently offering courses in nanomaterials and sensors/detector.The book examines how nanomaterials based sensing can be usThis book results from a NATO Advanced Research Workshop titled “Technological Innovations in CBRNE Sensing and Detection for Safety, Security, and Sustainability” held in Yerevan, Armenia in 2012. The objective was to discuss and exchange views as to how fusion of advanced technologies can lead to improved sensors/detectors in support of defense, security, and situational awareness. The

Overview: The area of macromolecular and supramolecular science and engineering has gained substantial interest and importance during the last decade and many applications can be envisioned in the future. The rapid developments in this interdisciplinary area justify a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in the research of materials and processes that is given in this monograph. This monograph is based primarily on synthetic architectures and systems covered by the contents of selected plenary and invited lectures delivered at the 1st International Symposium on Macro- and Supramolecular Architectu

Overview: A useful and comprehensive reference work including over 10,000 biological data.Clearly laid out presentation.The author, Rainer Flindt, professor at the Pedagogical University of Ludwigsburg, special."This book will become ragged with use....A labour of love and listing. Amazing Numbers is better than googling, because it has a sensible index and you don‘t have to wade through a whole load of irrelevance to get what you want. It‘s also logically divided into such sections as ‘Size‘, ‘Blood‘ and ‘Germination‘, and, just in case you ever want to check, all the facts are referenced. A

It specifically sheds light on the general effects of the discontinuation of face-to-face education on students at diverse academic levels during the COVID-19 pandemic..Through the lens of the most relevant experts

Overview: The first book on global agromining/phytomining technology.Written and edited by leading experts in the field.Provides a comprehensive overview of the complete agromining chain: from soils and hyperac.This is the first book on global agromining/phytomining technology. It presents the complete metal farming or agromining chain; an emerging technology expected to be transformative in the extraction of resources of those elements not accessible by traditional mining techniques. Meeting the demand for critical minerals (rare earth elements, platinum group elements, nickel cobalt) is incr

Overview: Using the traditional genres of allegory, pastoral, and parable, this book develops alternative paradigms of literary realism with which to reexamine a group of crucial but marginalized 20th century writers who have been misread as conventional mimetic realists.978-1-349-38360-3978-0-230-10196-8

Overview: Boden-, Luft- und Grundwasserverunreinigungen durch gesundheitsgefährdende Abfallstoffe z.B. durch Ablagerung auf industriell genutzten Flächen und auf Deponien oder durch Leckagen von Tanklagern, Rohrleitungen oder Abwasserkanälen sind in vielen industrialisierten Ländern zu einem ernsten Problem geworden. Ein in Wissenschaft und Praxis der Sanierung von Altlasten, z.B. Deponien, Altablagerungen, alten Industriestandorten, erfahrenes Herausgeber- und Autorenteam gibt einen am Stand der Technik und am ökonomisch Machbaren orientierten und kritisch bewerteten Überblick über die Sanier

Overview: "Der Stux": .Akupunktur - Lehrbuch und Atlas. - hat sich seit der erfolgreichen Erstpublikation im Jahre 1985 über drei weitere Auflagen als das Standardlehrbuch der Akupunktur durchgesetzt. In der vorliegenden vierten Auflage werden die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen der Akupunktur aktualisiert; neue Aspekte kommen hinzu: unter anderem bringt der Autor erstmals direkt energieausgleichende Methoden mit der Akupunktur in Verbindung.

Overview: Wirtschaftspsychologisches Essential zur dunklen Triade mit‘HandlungsempfehlungenNarzissmus gilt auf Führungsetagen als ein verbreitetes Phänomen, das dort im Vergleich zur restlichen Bevölkerung überdurchschnittlich stark repräsentiert ist. Weiterhin weisen jüngere Nachwuchs(führungs-)kräfte deutlich höhere Narzissmus-Ausprägungen auf als dies in den älteren Generationen bislang der Fall war. Gleichzeitig treten Verhaltenszüge der Dunklen Triade (Narzissmus, Machiavellismus und Psychopathie) meist nicht isoliert, sondern in Kombination auf. Unternehmen sollten aus diesem Grund schon

Overview: America‘s Soluble Problems , while recognising the many successes of the US economy, analyses its well known problems with a fresh new approach. Are slow growth, stagnant living standards for many, increasing poverty for those worst off, the hollowing out of much US manufacturing, balance of payments and fiscal deficits, all inevitable? America‘s Soluble Problems argues that they are not, and that entirely achievable changes in macro - economic policy could transform the prospects for the US economy and for most American citizens.978-1-349-27409-3978-1-349-27407-9

Overview: This lucid and tightly-argued study uses the motif of the mentor-lover - embodying diverse permutations of sexual love, power and judgement - to explore, evaluate and compare the works of Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë and George Eliot as they contend with issues of sexuality, family, selfhood, freedom, conduct and gender. The figure also provides a means to probe their relationship to the reader as they become mentor-lovers through authorship, each eliciting a different form of love and electing a different style of instruction.978-1-349-50818-1978-0-230-51204-7

Overview: The theory of quantum mechanics continues to appear arbitrary and abstruse to new students; and to many veterans, it has become acceptable and useable only because it is familiar. Yet, this theory is at the basis of all modern physics, chem­ istry, and engineering, describing, as it does, the behavior of the submicroscopic particles making up all matter. So it needs to be presented more effectively to a diverse audience. The primary question is, I believe, ‘What can be considered self-evident?‘ Indeed, what do certain key experiments reveal about the workings of nature? How can we co
