Overview: This text presents a rich, creative, exciting, yet complex field of inquiry which discusses issues of theoretical positioning, methodology and methods when conducting robust and reputable art-based reThis book outlines the principles and practices of arts-related inquiry and provides both suggestions about conducting research in the field as well as case study examples. The ideas presented here have emerged from the authors’ own experiences of undertaking arts-related research and the challenges of implementing these approaches. The book therefore draws on personal research, practice

Overview: At a symposium in Wuppertal held on 26 September 1995, Dr. Karl-Georg Metzger was honored, on the occasion of his retirement, for his scientific contributions and involvement in antibacterial drug research and develop­ ment within Bayer AG. In 1963 Dr. Metzger was the first "molecular micro­ biologist" to join Bayer in the field of antibacterial research. Karl-Georg Metzger studied physics and biology at the University of Mainz from 1950 to 1953 and continued his scientific education, with a grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, in Frankfurt on Main (1953-1956). From 1956 t

Overview: These three volumes constitute the edited Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Statistical Distributions in Scientific Work held at the University of Calgary from July 29 to August 10, 1974. The general title of the volumes is "Statistical Distributions in Scientific Work". The individual volumes are: Volume 1 - Models and Structures; Volume 2 - Model Building and Model Selection; and Volume 3 - Characterizations and Applications. These correspond to the three advanced seminars of the Institute devoted to the respective subject areas. The planned activities of the Inst

Overview: .As technology advancement has increased, so to have computational applications for forecasting, modelling and trading financial markets and information, and practitioners are finding ever more complex solutions to financial challenges. Neural networking is a highly effective, trainable algorithmic approach which emulates certain aspects of human brain functions, and is used extensively in financial forecasting allowing for quick investment decision making. . . This book presents the most cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI)/neural networking applications for markets, assets and

Overview: Presents recommendations for monetary policy based on the Austrian business cycle theory.Expands the Austrian approach to economics to make it more applicable to modern economics.Clarifies inconsistenThis book explores Austrian capital theory and Austrian business theory from the perspective of modern economics. Sustainable change within the production structure is examined in relation to time preference, the Böhm-Bawerkian theory of capital and interest, and the Hayek Triangle. In turn, the impact of monetary shocks and boom-bust cycles is detailed, with a particular focus on the Ri

Overview: Gives complete and comprehensive coverage of major topics in algebra.Contains a rich collection of solved examples and exercises for practice.Discusses applications in numerical methods, analytical geThis book provides a comprehensive knowledge of linear algebra for graduate and undergraduate courses. As a self-contained text, it aims at covering all important areas of the subject, including algebraic structures, matrices and systems of linear equations, vector spaces, linear transformations, dual and inner product spaces, canonical, bilinear, quadratic, sesquilinear, Hermitian forms

Overview: The initial observations of dialytic support were brought from the laboratory and confined to patients with reversible acute renal failure. The thought at that time was one of short term maintenance. It was theorized that removal of waste products from the blood, albeit incomplete and inefficient, might allow these patients time to regenerate damaged tubules and regain renal function. After a dis­ appointing earlier experience in survival, greater sophisti­ cation and broader practice refined the dialysis skills and reduced mortality. It also became apparent that long periods of supp

Overview: Includes over 130 peer-reviewed papers from professional researchers.Covers a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, image science, materials science and digital media.Presents the latest.This book includes a selection of reviewed papers presented at the 2015, 4th China Academic Conference on Printing and Packaging, which was held on October 22-24, 2015 in Hangzhou, China.

Overview: Examines one of the most segregated fields in education, computer science, towards centering the experiences of Indigenous Peoples.Argues that in order to create a sustainable and just world of produc.This book illustrates a pathway for knowledge production to benefit from interweaving the seemingly disparate historical experiences of Indigenous Peoples and computer science education. The resulting practice of ancestral computing for sustainability holds the power to mitigate the destructive forces of the field, while extending the potential of traditionally underserved and unheard p

Overview: This book is based on lecture notes of the late Professor de Veubeke. The subject is presented at a level suitable for graduate students in engineering, physics, or mathematics. Some exposure to linear algebra, complex analysis, variational calculus, or basic continuum mechanics would be helpful. The first third of the book contains the fundamentals of the theory of elasticity. Kinematics of continuous media, the notions of stress and equilibrium, conservation of energy, ‘and the elastic constitutive law are each treated first in a nonlinear context, then specialized to the linear ca
