Overview: Analyzing the findings of 20 studies, involving more than 5,000people, this book explores the decision making process of the crimevictim in the immediate aftermath of victimization. Using a broadrange of innovative research techniques, the authors assess theeffects of rape, robbery, burglary, and theft on individuals fromdiverse nationalities and ethnic backgrounds. This work will be ofvalue to people who work directly with crime victims, and toresearchers who are interested in the process of decision makingunder stressful circumstances.978-1-4613-6469-6978-1-4615-3334-4Series ISSN 0

Overview: ‘Fractal geometry addressesitselfto questions that many people have been asking themselves. It con­ cerns an aspect of Nature that almost everybody had been conscious of, but could not address in a formal fashion. ‘ ‘Fractal geometry seems to be the proper language to describe the complezity of many very compli­ cated shapes around us. ‘ (Mandelbrot, 1990a) ‘I believe that fractals respond to a profound un­ easiness in man. ‘ (Mandelbrot, 1990b) The catchword fractal, ever since it was coined by Mandelbrot (1975) to refer to a class of abstract mathematical objects that were already

Overview: Introduces the concepts of cybernetics applicable to agriculture.Conveys the roles of agricultural cybernetics in agricultural informatization, intelligence and automation.Discusses smart agriculturalAgricultural systems are uniquely complex systems, given that agricultural systems are parts of natural and ecological systems. Those aspects bring in a substantial degree of uncertainty in system operation. Also, impact factors, such as weather factors, are critical in agricultural systems but these factors are uncontrollable in system management. Modern agriculture has been evolving th

Overview: Birds are not particularly well suited to desert life. Unlike mammals, they are generally active during the day and do not usually go underground to escape the intense desert heat. Among the few types of birds that have successfully invaded the desert ecosystem are the predators. Many species of hawks, owls, roadrunners, vultures, and shrikes survive very well in deserts. What attributes make this group especially suited to desert life? How have they augmented their abilities to cope with the harsh constraints imposed by the desert habitat? These are among the issues explored in this

Overview: Aufgrund der wachsenden Bedeutung elektronischer Märkte besteht die Notwendigkeit der Automatisierung von Verhandlungen. Dabei spielen Multi-Agenten-Systeme (MAS) eine wesentliche Rolle. Ricardo Büttner untersucht automatisierte Verhandlungen und entwirft einen argumentationsbasierten Verhandlungsmechanismus für nur imperfekt beschreibbare Verhandlungsgegenstände. Diesen leitet er methodisch aus einem organisationstheoretischen Bezugsrahmen (Aufbau-, Ablauforganisation, Mikro- und Makroperspektive) ab und gestaltet ihn aus. Abschließend evaluiert der Autor den entworfenen Mechanismus

Overview: Es ist umstritten, inwiefern der griechischen Tragödie eine politische Funktion zukam. Die vorliegende Arbeit eröffnet in dieser Diskussion einen neuen Horizont, indem sie die Tragödien, in denen Athen Schutzflehende aufnimmt, als Ausdruck demokratischer Polis-Identität interpretiert. Die Asylstücke werden unter zwei Fragestellungen analysiert: Zum einen wird das Asyl als identitätskonstituierendes Motiv untersucht. Zum anderen wird die spezifische Bedeutung der Tragödie bei der Konstitution von Polis-Identität durch einen Vergleich mit den Grabreden herausgearbeitet. Grundlage diese

Overview: I want to thank R. L. Fosdick, M. E. Gurtin and W. O. Williams for their detailed criticism of the manuscript. I also thank F. Davi, M. Lembo, P. Nardinocchi and M. Vianello for valuable remarks prompted by their reading of one or another of the many previous drafts, from 1988 to date. Since it has taken me so long to bring this writing to its present form, many other colleagues and students have episodically offered useful comments and caught mistakes: a list would risk to be incomplete, but I am heartily grateful to them all. Finally, I thank V. Nicotra for skillfully transforming
