Overview: This new study is a major contribution to sign language study and to literature generally, looking at the complex grammatical, phonological and morphological systems of sign language linguistic structure and their role in sign language poetry and performance. Chapters deal with repetition and rhyme, symmetry and balance, neologisms, ambiguity, themes, metaphor and allusion, poem and performance, and blending English and sign language poetry. Major poetic performances in both BSL and ASL - with emphasis on the work of the deaf poet Dorothy Miles - are analysed using the tools provided

Overview: This volume of the Argumentation Library contains a collection of twenty-six theor­ etical contributions to the study of argumentation. Together they provide an over­ view of recent developments in the theory of argumentation which does justice to the theoretical variety in the field. InAnyone Who Has a View, the subject of argu­ mentation is approached from different angles. Both the formal and informal logical approaches and the rhetorical and communicative approaches arc represented in various ways. We arc convinced that the collection of essays as a whole will be of interest not

Overview: Das Bild vom Alter bei Pflegekräften und ÄrztenWelche Bilder haben Ärzte und Pflegekräfte vom Alter und der Gesundheit alter Menschen? Werden solche Bilder durch Ausbildung, Beruf oder eher durch eigene biographische Erfahrungen beeinflusst? Welche Einstellungen zur Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung insbesondere bei alten Menschen haben Ärzte und Pflegekräfte? Was können sie davon realisieren? Was hindert sie daran, ihre Einstellungen umzusetzen, was hilft ihnen dabei? Solche Fragen sind gerade in Zeiten des demographischen Umbruchs gesundheits- und sozialpolitisch relevant. .Die A

Overview: Detailed scientific information on all aspects of milk proteins.Numerous novel and updated chapters from the 3rd edition.Includes contributions from highly regarded dairy scientists from around the woProfessor Fox’s multi-volume Advanced Dairy Chemistry set was first published in four volumes in the early 1980s. A second edition came out in the early 1990s, and an updated third edition was published a decade later. The set is the leading major reference on dairy chemistry, providing in-depth coverage of milk proteins, lipids, and lactose. The editors propose beginning the revision cy

Overview: Routing of VLSI chips is an important, time consuming, and difficult problem. The difficulty of the problem is attributed to the large number of often conflicting factors that affect the routing quality. Traditional techniques have approached routing by ignoring some of these factors and imposing unnecessary constraints in order to make routing tractable. In addition to the imposition of these restrictions, which simplify the problems to a degree but at the same time reduce the routing quality, traditional approaches use brute force. They often transform the problem into mathematical

Overview: The study of formal languages and of related families of automata has long been at the core of theoretical computer science. Until recently, the main reasons for this centrality were connected with the specification and analy­ sis of programming languages, which led naturally to the following ques­ tions. How might a grammar be written for such a language? How could we check whether a text were or were not a well-formed program generated by that grammar? How could we parse a program to provide the structural analysis needed by a compiler? How could we check for ambiguity to en­ sure

Overview: This volume is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of autism for the many educated and thoughtful parents, professionals, and other concerned citizens with an interest in these important issues. It has grown out of our assumption that there are many people interested in our field who want the most up-to-date information available without having to locate and read through the growing literature in this area. From our university bases, we are fortunate in having access to state-of-the-art information about autism and related develop­ mental disorders. Our goal in this volume i

Overview: Is the first attempt to give a comprehensive, rigorous formulation of the basic demographic models.Analyzes structured epidemic models from the demographic point of view as the renewal process of indiThis book is the first one in which basic demographic models are rigorously formulated by using modern age-structured population dynamics, extended to study real-world population problems. Age structure is a crucial factor in understanding population phenomena, and the essential ideas in demography and epidemiology cannot be understood without mathematical formulation; therefore, this bo
