Overview: At the time of her death in 1992, Angela Carter had become one of the most important and widely read British writers. In the first book-length study devoted to her novels, Linden Peach demonstrates how Carter‘s fiction has retained the power to shock us, move us and make us laugh. This lively book provides both close readings of individual texts and an overview of her work. Although Carter preferred a mode of writing closer to fantasy than the English realist novel and frequently drew on prenovelistic forms, Linden Peach maintains that she still addressed the ‘actuality‘ of people‘s

Overview: .The study of the linguistic reflexes of aspect has been an active field of research in various sub-disciplines of linguistics, such as syntax, semantics (including discourse theory) and acquisition studies. However, communication and dissemination of results across these various subfields has often been indirect. The different angles brought together give us a comprehensive picture of the representation of aspect in the mind/brain of the speaker...The papers in this volume represent the results of a workshop on the syntax, semantics and acquisition of aspect held in 2002 whose purpo

Overview: In the era of continuous changes in internal organizationalsettings and external business environments – such as new regulations and business opportunities – modern enterprises are subject to extensive research and study. For the understanding, design, and engineering of modern enterprises and theircomplexbusiness processes,thedisciplineofenterpriseengineeringrequires sound engineering principles and systematic approaches based on rigorous th- ries. Along with that, a paradigm shift seems to be needed for addressing these issues adequately. The main paradigm shift is the consideratio

Overview: Potenzial fachlich unabhängiger Kompetenzen in einem Telekommunikationsunternehmen„Der Wert davon, dass man zeitweilig eine strenge Wissenschaft streng betrieben hat, beruht nicht gerade auf deren Ergebnissen, denn diese werden im Verhältnis zum Meere des Wissenswerten ein verschwindend kleiner Tropfen sein. Aber es ergibt einen Zuwachs an Energie, an Schlussvermögen, an Zähigkeit der Ausdauer; man hat gelernt, einen Zweck zweckmäßig zu erreichen. Insofern ist es sehr schätzbar, in Hinsicht auf alles, was man später treibt, einmal ein wissenschaftlicher Mensch gewesen zu sein“. (Frie

Overview: Intends to help medical and dental practitioners improve their clinical practice.Addresses a gap in the literature about the experiences of autistics in medical and dental settings.Combines multiple p.This book provides a comprehensive overview of the experiences and challenges faced by autistics who also have co-occurring psychological conditions such as anxiety, depression, and gender dysphoria. The topic of autistics with co-occurring psychological conditions is currently of particular importance to the field of autism research because research has shown that a significant proport

Overview: Die "richtige" Besteuerung der Altersvorsorge ist ein viel diskutiertes Thema in den Steuerwissenschaften. Die derzeitigen steuerlichen Regelungen folgen keinem einheitlichen Konzept. Nach einem Urteil des Bundesverfassungsgerichts im Jahr 2002 ist der Gesetzgeber verpflichtet, bis zum 1.1.2005 eine Neuregelung zu treffen. Die Bundesregierung schlägt mit ihrem Entwurf eines Alterseinkünftegesetzes die nachgelagerte Besteuerung vor...Sandra Schwarz untersucht, ob die nachgelagerte Besteuerung aus ökonomischer Sicht mit einer Einkommensteuer systemkonform ist oder in Richtung Konsumste

Overview: Summary of modern trends in the field / Survey of experimental and theoretical methods / Research frontiers in atom physics / Overview and introduction to the fieldThis book is devoted to one of the most active domains of atomic physic- atomic physics of heavy positive ions. During the last 30 years, this terrain has attracted enormous attention from both experimentalists and theoreti­ cians. On the one hand, this interest is stimulated by rapid progress in the development of laboratory ion sources, storage rings, ion traps and methods for ion cooling. In many laboratories, a conside

Overview: State-of-the-art introduction of multi-electrode recordings and how they contribute to the understanding of hippocampal memory.Overview of the modeling approach to hippocampal memory.Presentation of hSince information in the brain is processed by the exchange of spikes among neurons, a study of such group dynamics is extremely important in understanding hippocampus dependent memory. These spike patterns and local field potentials (LFPs) have been analyzed by various statistical methods. These studies have led to important findings of memory information processing. For example, memory

Overview: Vom Kow-how zum Kow-whyAngesichts der heute zu beobachtenden turbulenten Veränderungen fast aller wichtigen Märkte wird die Anpassungsfähigkeit eines Unternehmens immer wichtiger. Deshalb ist es erforderlich, die aus dem Business Process Re-engineering bekannten Methoden und Werk­ zeuge weiterzuentwickeln, um sie für die kontinuierliche Anpassung eines Unternehmens an externe Veränderungen nutzen zu können. Beispielsweise ist es nicht sinnvoll, mit großem Aufwand erstellte Geschäftsprozeßmodelle nur ein einziges Mal im Rahmen eines Re­ engineering-Projektes zu verwenden. Das in solch

Overview: We are in the midst of major advances in medical imaging, converting static pre­ sentation of anatomic information into near real-time interactive imaging and displays capable of depicting both structure and function. This will have pro­ found impact on diagnosis and image-guided therapies. These advances have been most notable in the modalities of computed tomog­ raphy and magnetic resonance. These technologies have become capable of ac­ quiring volumetric images in short periods of time. Speed gains in MRI were very significant in the early 1990s with the development of clinically
