Overview: Studies of marine ecology have traditionally been approached through lectures and field courses devoted mainly to intertidal and inshore habitats, and it is surprising in these days of increased awareness of man‘s environmental impact that so little attention has been given to integrated approaches involving the whole coastal zone and including the terrestrial part, which is man‘s major habitat. The coastal zone has been the subject of extensive investigation, not only because of its biological diversity and accessibility, but also because of its economic and aesthetic importance to

Overview: Applies a systems approach to language pedagogy, which can help practitioners and researchers alike understand the whole picture of the field and manage its various aspects from a holistic perspectiveThis volume represents the first attempt in the field of language pedagogy to apply a systems approach to issues in English language education. In the literature of language education, or more specifically, second or foreign language learning and teaching, each topic or issue has often been dealt with independently, and been treated as an isolated item. Taking grammar instruction as an e

Overview: Details several important advances in the direction of practical proofs-as-programs paradigm, which has applications in industrial-scale, complex software engineering problems.The authors develop two This book ?nds new things to do with an old idea. The proofs-as-programs paradigm constitutes a set of approaches to developing programs from proofs in constructive logic. It has been over thirty years since the paradigm was ?rst conceived. At that time, there was a belief that proofs-as-programs had the - tential for practical application to semi-automated software development. I- tial

Overview: About five years ago, Professor P. G. Burke asked me to edit a sequel to an earlier book-Autoionization: Theoretical, Astrophysical, and Laboratory Experimental Aspects, edited by A. Temkin, Mono Book Corp. , Baltimore, 1966. Because so much time had gone by and so much work had been done, the prospect of updating the 1966 volume seemed out of the question. In 1965 the phenomenon of autoionization, although long known, was just starting to emerge from a comparatively intuitive stage of understanding. Three major developments characterized that development: In solar (astro-)physics, A

Overview: Includes recent research on artificial intelligence in renewable energetic Systems.Features the proceedings of the International Conference in Artificial Intelligence in Renewable Energetic Systems he.This book includes the latest research presented at the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Renewable Energetic Systems held in Tipaza, Algeria on October 22–24, 2017. The development of renewable energy at low cost must necessarily involve the intelligent optimization of energy flows and the intelligent balancing of production, consumption and energy storage. Intelli

Overview: Author has carefully chosen the most important topics within Banach algebra theory.Incorporates recent advances concerning so-called spectral extension properties and the unique uniform norm property.Banach algebras are Banach spaces equipped with a continuous multipli- tion. In roughterms,there arethree types ofthem:algebrasofboundedlinear operators on Banach spaces with composition and the operator norm, al- bras consisting of bounded continuous functions on topological spaces with pointwise product and the uniform norm, and algebrasof integrable functions on locally compact groups

Overview: This second volume of two discusses the employment of action learning in different contexts, including healthcare, education, government, military and the business world. Use of action learning in delivery of Future Search Conferences is addressed, as well as action learning in community and civil society and the future of action learning.978-1-349-36627-9978-0-230-25074-1

Overview: Includes supplementary material: For everyone concerned with the technology and application of metals and alloys and with the development of new metallic materials, a detailed knowledge of phase equilibria is indispensable. Also, information on the thermodynamical and crystallographical data of the systems under investigation is essential, and often metastable crystalline phases as well as quasicrystalline or amorphous alloys are of interest. Vol. IV/5 therefore presents all these data. Because of the large amount available of experimental evidence and thermochemical calculations, a

It explores artificial intelligence’s tangible and intangible impact on higher education and scientific research and discusses how higher education and scientific research enhance the progress of artificial intelligence technologies. Based on systematic analysis with a multidisciplinary approach and

Overview: People are not so firmly rooted as they used to be. The greater frequency, at least in the Western world, with which people move house can be seen from the statistics. Many migrate voluntarily, or under compulsion, to build up new existences in other parts of the country or in other parts of the world. The problems which face people who are obliged to settle elsewhere have become matters of national and international political importance. Of recent years they have also become the subjects of sociological and socio-psychological research. The psychological research of which this book

Overview: It is difficult for us today to imagine that equal educational opportunity, with which we are so deeply preoccupied, was at one time considered to be if not an evil at least a futile objective, and that those who held such an opinion were completely insincere and even disinterested. For a vertically stratified society equality of education had to be opposed be­ cause it would disturb an equilibrium as vital as that of a building. In the Middle Ages only the Church was able to look for new members at the bottom of the social ladder, since ecclesiastical office was not inherited by bir
