Overview: Recently, research in robot kinematics has attracted researchers with different theoretical profiles and backgrounds, such as mechanical and electrica! engineering, computer science, and mathematics. It includes topics and problems that are typical for this area and cannot easily be met elsewhere. As a result, a specialised scientific community has developed concentrating its interest in a broad class of problems in this area and representing a conglomeration of disciplines including mechanics, theory of systems, algebra, and others. Usually, kinematics is referred to as the branch o

Overview: The first meeting on biosonar that I had the opportunity to attend was held in 1978 on the Island of Jersey in the English Channel. That meeting, organized by Professor R.G. Busne1 and Dr. Jim Fish, was my introduction to an exciting and varied group of hard-working and dedicated scientists studying animal echolocation. They are, by nature, a very diverse group. They tend to publish in different journals and rarely interact despite the fact that they all work on echolocation. When they do interact as a group, as they did in Frascati Italy in 1966, in Jersey i~ 1978, and during the me

Overview: Gegen Diskriminierung und AusgrenzungAntidiskriminierungspädagogik ist eine relativ junge Strategie, die sich zum einen für einen respektvollen Umgang mit Vielfalt einsetzt und zum anderen ein entschiedenes Eintreten gegen Diskriminierung und Herabwürdigung befördert. Das Konzept will junge Menschen befähigen mit Differenzen umgehen zu lernen, die aus sozialen Unterschieden resultieren und über die gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen, die die Konstruktion dieser Differenzen ergeben, aufklären. Der Band bietet Pädagoginnen und Pädagogen praxisorientiertes und umfassendes Werkzeug, um im be

Overview: Zu einer alten kunsttheoretischen Debatte: Wie autonom ist Kunst?.Kunst als künstlerische, politische und ökonomische Praxis.Prominent besetzter Sammelband.Includes supplementary material: .Die Autonomie der Kunst ist heute umstrittener denn je. Als Produkt bürgerlicher Emanzipationsbestrebungen erscheint sie mittlerweile vielen ideologieverdächtig. Aber auch die Verwendbarkeit des Begriffes der (Kunst-)Autonomie als einem analytischen Konzept wird immer wieder in Zweifel gezogen. Vor diesem Hintergrund unterzieht der vorliegende Band die verschiedenen soziologischen Autonomiekonzept

Overview: Broadens your understanding of circadian rhythms.Explains the links between the circadian clock system, endocrinology and cellular metabolism.Illustrates the complex process of how organisms cope withRecent years have seen spectacular advances in the field of circadian biology. These have attracted the interest of researchers in many fields, including endocrinology, neurosciences, cancer, and behavior. By integrating a circadian view within the fields of endocrinology and metabolism, researchers will be able to reveal many, yet-unsuspected aspects of how organisms cope with changes i

Overview: Written by ICT experts.Addresses contemporary and future challenges of the ICT community.Written for the 60th anniversary of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).For 60 years the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) has been advancing research in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This book looks into both past experiences and future perspectives using the core of IFIP‘s competence, its Technical Committees (TCs) and Working Groups (WGs)...Soon after IFIP was founded, it established TCs and related WGs to foster the exchang

Overview: In Actief leren voor een beroep zijn ruim veertig activiteiten opgenomen waarmee leerlingen op een actieve manier leren voor een beroep. Met alles wat daarbij hoort: vakkennis, vaardigheden en een goede beroepshouding.Per activiteit is uitgewerkt wat deze inhoudt, waarom leerlingen het doen en welke stappen ze moeten zetten. Ook krijgen de leerlingen tips over hoe zij missers kunnen voorkomen en hoe zij variatie in de activiteit kunnen aanbrengen. Na elke activiteit kijken de leerlingen terug op wat ze hebben gedaan: wat ging goed, wat ging minder goed en hoe zou ik het een volgende

Overview: State of the art of intensive medicineProgress in the field of medicine over the last 50 years has led to important results for society, both in terms of prevention and in the treatment of single or variously associated pathologies. The main objective of modern medicine has been the acquisition of increased skills and highly specialised knowledge in the various disciplines. At the same time, there has been a progressive multidisciplinary and multi-professional interest in acute disease conditions that place the patient in potential or real life-threatening situations. The state of th

Overview: The ?rst IFIP Workshop on Autonomic Communication (WAC 2004) was held 18–19 October 2004 in Berlin, Germany. The workshop was organized by Fra- hofer FOKUS with the help of partners of the EU-funded Autonomic Com- nication Coordination Action — IST-6475 (ACCA), and under technical sp- sorship of IFIP WG6. 6 — Management of Networks and Distributed Systems. The purpose of this workshop was to discuss Autonomic Communication—a new communication paradigm to assist the design of the next-generation n- works. WAC 2004 was explicitly focused on the principles that help to achieve purposefu

Overview: Once again, just before Easter, a goodly number of people gathered to hear a series of papers on a variety of aspects of adhesion presented by authors from a number of countries. Overall they all seemed to be as well pleased as ever with what they received. One might have thought that by now-the twenty-eighth year-the whole range of possible topics had been scanned; but no, there are two papers which are concerned with an entirely new one. This arises from the fairly recent recognition that if society is to utilise adhesives and gain anything like their potential advantage, then ther

Overview: This book reports the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "An­ gular Momentum Evolution of Young Stars" held from 17 to 21 September 1990 at Noto, Italy. The workshop had its immediate origin in a discussion about the availability of stel­ lar rotation data, that took place in 1987 at Viana do Castelo Portugal during the NATO meeting, Formation and Evolution of Low Mass Stars. We recognized that nearly 20 years had passed since the last meeting on stellar rotation and that significant progress in the observation of rotation rates in low mass stars had been made. Dur

Overview: This book is an attempt to explain to the layperson what contemporary economics is about. It starts on the assumption that most economics is just refined common sense and clearly explains the key ideas associated with each issue. All the main topics of academic economics are considered: the theory of individual choice, the labour market, the competition between firms, international trade, economic growth, the stock market, unemployment, and money. The general principles are sketched first without maths or diagrams, and then discussed in the context of topical problems such as the col

Overview: Develops an ontology of modern conflict.Presents sub-onotologies and their connections to other parts.Describes the implementation history and changes from earlier versions to the MCO, plus potential .This volume develops and describes an ontology of modern conflict. Modern conflict is a complex adaptive system. As such, it exhibits emergent properties, or properties that are not predictable from simple descriptions of the system.  The Modern Conflict Ontology (MCO) creates a structure for collecting and analyzing information regarding both conventional and unconventional conflict in
