Overview: Ubiquitous computing names the third wave in computing, where the personal computing era appears when technologyrecedesinto the backgroundof our lives. The widespread use of new mobile technology implementing wireless communicationssuch as personal digital assistants (PDAs) and smart phones enables a new type of advanced applications. In the pastyears,themainfocusofresearchinmobileserviceshasaimedattheanytime-anywhere principle (ubiquitous computing). However, there is more to it. The increasing demand for distributed problem solving led to the development of multi-agent systems. The

Overview: There is an Inca incantation which stated said roughly: "Lord, give me spiritual peace so that I can acquiesce to what I cannot change, give me courage so that I can change what I can change, and give me wisdom so that I can distinguish one from the other. " Obviously, this incantation can be regularly repeated by any gerontologist, since it is very difficult to distinguish aging from the processes which enhance the organism‘s viability, aging from diseases, and the mechanisms of aging in various species of animals. According to N. Shock, who compiled a valuable bibliography of the w

Overview: Einführungsbuch, das die theoretischen Grundlagen anwendungsnah präsentiert.Die ‘klassische‘ Aerodynamik befasst sich vornehmlich mit schlanken Körpern, also mit solchen, deren Erstreckung quer zurAnströmung klein ist im Vergleich zu ihrer Länge. Meist geht es dabei um Profile für Tragflügel, Verdichter oder Turbinen. Diese werden so geformt, dass sie anliegend umströmt werden. Ökonomisch betrachtet haben aber die stumpfen Körper wie Automobile, Bahnen und Bauwerke mindestens die gleiche Bedeutung , wie die schlanken. Ihre Umströmung ist, da durch Ablösungen gekennzeichnet, sehr viel

Overview: The first International Conference on Ageing Studies and Lifetime Extension of Materials was held on th July 12-14 , 1999 at St. Catherine‘s College, Oxford, United Kingdom. Over 230 delegates attended during the three days and heard nearly ninety papers, together with over thirty poster presentations. Sixteen of these papers were keynotes from invited speakers eminent in their field of research. The proceedings were organised into six separate sessions: observation and understanding of real-time and accelerated ageing; experimental techniques; modelling and theoretical studies; life

Overview: When Prof. Hatheron was asked to delineate the history of geostatistics, he objected that such discipline is still too "young" to be treated from a historical point of view. The more and more increasing practical applications requiring newer and newer methodologies would rather suggest the necessity of empha­ sizing the steps taken and the results obtained up to now. The reason of certain epistemological choices as well as the difficul­ ties and success in establishing a dialogue with the people most likely to benefit from the results of geostatistics are necessary premises to unders

Overview: The first modern monograph to feature the applications of EPR to radiation research.Includes a chapter on fundamental radiation processes for those unfamiliar with this field.Applications to liquid-, Applications of EPR in Radiation Research is a multi-author contributed volume presented in eight themes: I. Elementary radiation processes (in situ and low temperature radiolysis, quantum solids); II: Solid state radiation chemistry (crystalline, amorphous and heterogeneous systems); III: Biochemistry, biophysics and biology applications (radicals in biomaterials, spin trapping, free-ra

Overview: Examines Australian public opinion towards defence and foreign policy from 1945.Assesses changes in public and elite attitudes towards a range of defence and foreign affairs issues, including the US a.This book examines the impact of Australian public opinion towards defence and foreign policy from the mid-twentieth century to the present day. For most of this period, the public showed little interest in defence and security policy and possessed limited knowledge about the strategic options available. The principal post-war exception to this pattern is, of course, the Vietnam War, wh

Overview: Pädagogische Antworten auf HeterogenitätVor dem Hintergrund einer wachsenden Zahl von MigrantInnen in Deutschland, der zunehmend kulturellen, sprachlichen, sozialen Heterogenität der Gesellschaft und der Ungleichheiten in den Aufwachsbedingungen und Sozialisationskontexten von Kindern und Jugendlichen diskutieren die Autorinnen die Notwendigkeit geschlechtergerechter interkultureller Pädagogik als Reaktion auf bestehende Benachteiligungen, denen möglichst früh und umfassend entgegenzuwirken ist.978-3-531-17196-8978-3-531-92481-6Series ISSN 2512-0964 Series E-ISSN 2512-0972

Overview: The research indicates thorough demand for financial services in African countries.Sheds a light on the missing question of post-conflict microfinance efficiency.Illuminates some of the problems facedThis book examines engagements with financial services in contexts of conflict. Using Liberia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo as case studies, it explores informal financial and business strategies and how these shift during conflict. Through a combination of regression analyses and panel data modeling with fixed effects, the project research indicates that conflict has a strong

Overview: Gives a review of recent results in tyre dynamics.Provides insights on the mathematical aspects of the brush model.Introduces new concepts in the topic.This book provides an in-depth understanding of tyre dynamics. In the first three chapters, new concepts are introduced in respect to the classic theory. Analytical results are derived step-by-step to guide the reader through the governing equations of the model. Transient phenomena are explained in a relatively simple way according to the brush theory. The analysis is extended to cover the case of large camber angles, which is often

Overview: Examines the disorderly information campaign prior to the Brexit referendum.Argues that had the information from the Treasury study been included in the government‘s brochure to households, the resultThis book analyzes how the EU referendum in the United Kingdom came to pass and what the foreseeable consequences are for the UK, Europe, US and world economy. The Brexit decision represents a momentous event for Europe, which weakens the EU and shifts the global balance of power. Welfens argues the EU has lost its appeal and is not in keeping with the twenty-first century, which is bein

Overview: AIDS and the Sexuality of Law investigates the role that HIV/AIDS has played in the legal construction of sexuality. AIDS and its metaphors have been judicially enlisted to patrol the boundaries of heterosexuality, producing flawed understandings of HIV/AIDS and sexuality. The proliferation of this flawed knowledge through judicial discourse has had a profound impact on the way sexuality is understood. Even more fundamentally, closer analysis exposes the ironic processes of the law whereby material reality, ignorance, and belief interact to replace unknowns with ‘social facts.‘ The b
