Overview: Includes supplementary material: .This book introduces the concept of autonomic computing driven cooperative networked system design from an architectural perspective. As such it leverages and capitalises on the relevant advancements in both the realms of autonomic computing and networking by welding them closely together. In particular, a multi-faceted Autonomic Cooperative System Architectural Model is defined which incorporates the notion of Autonomic Cooperative Behaviour being orchestrated by the Autonomic Cooperative Networking Protocol of a cross-layer nature. The overall prop

Overview: Integrated circuit technology is widely used for the fullintegration of electronic systems. In general, these systems arerealized using digital techniques implemented in CMOS technology. Thelow power dissipation, high packing density, high noise immunity, easeof design and the relative ease of scaling are the driving forces ofCMOS technology for digital applications. Parts of these systemscannot be implemented in the digital domain and will remain analog. Inorder to achieve complete system integration these analog functionsare preferably integrated in the same CMOS technology. An imp

Overview: Introduces manifolds in the most direct way possible and principally explores their topological properties.Discusses classical differential calculus in a manner which extends easily to the manifold se.This book is an introduction to differential manifolds. It gives solid preliminaries for more advanced topics: Riemannian manifolds, differential topology, Lie theory. It presupposes little background: the reader is only expected to master basic differential calculus, and a little point-set topology. The book covers the main topics of differential geometry: manifolds, tangent space, vec

Overview: Examines the key issue of climate change against the backdrop of global international development.Considers the role foreign aid can play in both working toward environmental sustainability and boosti.This collection examines the role that foreign aid can play in dealing with the severe global challenge of climate change, one of the most pressing international development issues of the 21st century. Addressing the key threats of rising temperatures, changes in precipitation, coastal erosion and natural disasters, the book considers the implications for policy and future research, par

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Melanie Müller untersucht die Folgen der Integration der verschiedenen Weltregionen in das System der Vereinten Nationen für soziale Bewegungen. Am Fallbeispiel Südafrika zeigt sie, dass internationale Konferenzen als ‚transformatives Ereignis‘ charakterisiert werden können, das Entwicklungen innerhalb von sozialen Bewegungen in Gang setzt und diese dadurch mittelfristig verändert. Unter Rückgriff auf vier Ansätze der Protest- und Bewegungsforschung beschreibt die Autorin, dass es Bewegungsorganisationen gelingt, Ressour

Overview: Der Hippokratische Ausspruch: "Ars longa, vita brevis" bildet das Kernstück dieser Abhandlung von W. Doerr. Er geht der Frage nach, worin die wirklichen Aufgaben des wissenschaftlichen Studiums der Heilkunde bestehen, was der Student von der Hochschulmedizin erwarten kann, was verlangen? Er kommt sodann zur Pathologie und versucht Fragen, wie z.B. ob es Leben ohne Krankheit geben kann, oder worin das Geheimnis des Alterns liegt, zu beantworten oder zumindest neue Denkanstöße hierzu zu geben. In einem Nachwort wird erörtert, was Pathologie ist, was sie sein kann und wie ihre tragenden

Overview: Unites comparative theological approaches through the works of two twentieth century Muslim and Christian scholars.Addresses the intrinsic correlation between imprisonment and the concepts of tranquil.This book explores the religious experiences of two notable figures who endured severe trials under authoritarian regimes: Bediuzzaman Said Nursi (1877–1960) within the Islamic tradition, and Aleksander Solzhenitsyn (1918–2008) within the Russian Orthodox Christian tradition. Against the tumultuous backdrop of the twentieth century’s spiritual, social, political, and intellectual upheav

Overview: Immediately following the Second World War, between 1947 and 1955, several classic papers quantified the fundamentals of human speech information processing and recognition. In 1947 French and Steinberg published their classic study on the articulation index. In 1948 Claude Shannon published his famous work on the theory of information. In 1950 Fletcher and Galt published their theory of the articulation index, a theory that Fletcher had worked on for 30 years, which integrated his classic works on loudness and speech perception with models of speech intelligibility. In 1951 George M
