Overview: Presents recent results in Adaptive and Multilevel Metaheuristics.One of the keystones in practical metaheuristic problem-solving is the fact that tuning the optimization technique to the problem under consideration is crucial for achieving top performance. This tuning/customization is usually in the hands of the algorithm designer, and despite some methodological attempts, it largely remains a scientific art. Transferring a part of this customization effort to the algorithm itself -endowing it with smart mechanisms to self-adapt to the problem- has been a long pursued goal in the fi

Overview: Mit der Herausgabe dieses Buches soll eine Lücke in der Fachliteratur ge­ schlossen werden, die seit längerer Zeit besteht. Die rasch fortschreitende Ent­ wicklung hat auch in der Textilveredlung ihren Niederschlag gefunden. Vor allem gilt dies für eine Reihe von Arbeiten, welche auf Grund der Einführung der synthetischen Fasern in der Textilindustrie neu sind und sowohl in der Färberei als auch in der Ausrüstung vorgenommen werden. Es war nicht möglich, ein Buch zu verfassen, welches sowohl dem Maschinen­ bauer als auch dem Appreteur im gleichen Maße nützlich sein kann. Es wurde hie

Overview: Analyses the internal conventions and the disputes that have surrounded the measurement and use of the French CPI in official statistics.Gives a thorough account of the debates, experiments and hesitaInflation should no longer be a politically sensitive indicator.

Overview: The concept of ‘modernity‘ is central to many disciplines, but what is modernity to animals? Susan Nance answers this question through a radical reinterpretation of the life of Jumbo the elephant. In the 1880s, consumers, the media, zoos, circuses and taxidermists, and (unknowingly) Jumbo himself, transformed the elephant from an orphan of the global ivory trade and zoo captive into a distracting international celebrity. Citizens on two continents imaged Jumbo as a sentient individual and pet, but were aghast when he died in an industrial accident and his remains were absorbed by the

In the heat of the debate many fundamental issues are raised concerning our health care system, among themthe questions of therapeutic effecti
