Overview: Provides an understanding of fungal diversity associated with plant systems and their role in growth.Discusses fungal roles in agriculture with consideration of the environment.Shows in depth knowledg.Microbes are ubiquitous in nature. Among microbes, fungal communities play an important role in agriculture, the environment, and medicine. Vast fungal diversity has been found in plant systems. The fungi associated with any plant system are in the form of epiphytic, endophytic, and rhizospheric fungi. These associated fungi play important roles in plant growth, crop yield, and soil hea

Overview: Many people look upon a microscope as a mere instrument(l); to them microscopy is instrumentation. Other people consider a microscope to be simply an aid to the eye; to them microscopy is primarily an expan­ sion of macroscopy. In actuality, microscopy is both objective and sub­ jective; it is seeing through an instrument by means of the eye, and more importantly, the brain. The function of the brain is to interpret the eye‘s image in terms of the object‘s structure. Thought and experience are required to distinguish structure from artifact. It is said that Galileo (1564-1642) had hi

Overview: .A Linguistic Investigation of Aphasic Chinese Speech. isthe first detailed linguistic analysis of a large body of aphasicChinese natural speech data. This work describes how the major aphasiasyndromes are manifest in Chinese, a language which differssignificantly from languages upon which traditional aphasia theory isbased. Following the Chinese data, a new explanation for the majoraphasia syndromes is offered based on the cognitive science modularityhypothesis. The theory posits that Broca‘s aphasia is the result ofcomputational deficits that occur within linguistic components, whi

Overview: Die anreizkompatible Vergütung von Managern ist ein in Theorie und Praxis viel diskutiertes Problem. Ziel ist, Manager so zu entlohnen, dass sie einen finanziellen Anreiz haben, im Sinne der Anteilseigner zu handeln...Louis John Velthuis analysiert die Eignung von Bemessungsgrundlagen und Entlohnungsschemata für eine anreizkompatible Vergütung. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, ob Manager am Gewinn, Residualgewinn oder Marktwert partizipieren sollen und ob ihnen eine lineare oder nicht lineare Beteiligung gewährt werden soll. Zur Überprüfung von konkreten Entlohnungsformen - auch in de

Overview: Kurt Hensel (1861-1941) discovered the p-adic numbers around the turn of the century. These exotic numbers (or so they appeared at first) are now well-established in the mathematical world and used more and more by physicists as well. This book offers a self-contained presentation of basic p-adic analysis. The author is especially interested in the analytical topics in this field. Some of the features which are not treated in other introductory p-adic analysis texts are topological models of p-adic spaces inside Euclidean space, a construction of spherically complete fields, a p-adic
