Overview: The philosophy of this NATO Advanced Research Workshop and the monograph it has yielded is that if you put a small number of very talented and creative scientists of different backgrounds and documented accomplishments together in a cloistered place for a few days to consider a very important and timely topic, many new ideas will be generated. The keynote of this conference was the Future. By this we mean the expected future developments of highly reliable sequential quantitative measurements of atherosclerotic plaque size and components in living human subjects. Some of the best min

Overview: This book is an amended and somewhat shorter version of my doctoral thesis which I submitted to the Australian National University in 1976, and subsequently edited at the Netherlands Interuniversity Demographic Institute in 1977. The work falls naturally into two parts. The first is concerned with the construction and validation of a model, and the second with its application as an experimental tool. In the first part, comprising Chapters One to Four, an examination of historical and contemporary models of population growth led to the decision to study changes in fertility by means o

Overview: Based around material derived from unpublished scientific research from Dr. Robert Mogar’s laboratory.Reviews ethnographic literature in this area and contributes to a comprehensive evaluation.Explore.There has recently been a renewed interest in both casual use of psychedelics as well as experimental use and attempts to discover therapeutic value. There is an effort to recapture the achievements and failures of past work to guide present use. This book is based around material derived from unpublished scientific research from Dr. Robert Mogar’s laboratory and built upon by forty yea

Overview: Advances the need for a just transition to a low-carbon economy.Framework drawn from United Nations climate change conferences.Tackles the challenge of a just transition based around four selected UN .This book provides researchers and policy-makers with legal avenues to enable a just transition to decarbonisation. The focus is on the United Nations themes of loss and damage, transport, nature and youth - across Australia and other economies - to significantly reduce CO2 emissions by 2030 and beyond. The four themes scaffold discussions about a just transition beyond the UN Climate C

Overview: Anatomising Embodiment and Organisation Theory explores the relationship between the human body and the development of social theory about organisations and organising. The science of anatomy is taken as a pattern for knowledge both of the human body and/or organisations, and the twin symbols of dissection - the scalpel and the mirror - are used to understand the production of knowledge about organisations.978-1-349-39938-3978-0-333-99382-8

Overview: Provides a complete review of automatic gain control loops, covering both feedback and feedforward approaches.Describes the complete design flow of the main blocks used in AGC circuits (PGAs/VGAs, peaThis book analyzes automatic gain control (AGC) loop circuits and demonstrates AGC solutions in the environment of wireless receivers, mainly in wireless receivers with stringent constraints in settling-time and wide dynamic range, such as WLAN and Bluetooth receivers.  Since feedforward AGCs present great advantages in this context, as an alternative to conventional feedback AGCs, this

Overview: Is a very timely contribution on a burning issue, written in lucid language.Provides critical commentary on the twin crises in Europe of debt and migration, which are of global significance.Offers lea.This important and topical volume is composed around the debt and migration crisis in Europe in 2015 (known as the Greece crisis), and written almost concurrently as the two crises developed in quick succession. The central argument here is that Europe’s present crisis suggests a post-colonial bind, or to put in stronger terms, a post-colonial destiny of Europe. The European situation b

Overview: Large system complexities and operation under tight timingconstraints in rapidly shrinking technologies have made it extremelyimportant to ensure correct temporal behavior of modern-day digitalcircuits, both before and after fabrication. Research in(pre-fabrication) timing verification and (post-fabrication) delayfault testing has evolved along largely disjoint lines in spite of thefact that they share many basic concepts. ..A Unified Approach for Timing Verification and Delay FaultTesting. applies concepts developed in the context of delay faulttesting to path sensitization, which a

Overview: What is aesthetic value? A property in an object? An experience of a perceiving person? An ideal object existing in a mysterious sphere, inaccessible to normal cognition? Does it appear in one form only, or in many forms, perhaps infinitely many? Is it something constant, immutable, or rather something susceptible to change, depending on the individual, the cultural milieu, or the epoch? Is a rational defence of aesthetic value judgements possible, or is any discussion of this topic meaningless? The above questions arise out of the most complicated philosophic problems. Volumes have

Overview: Dieses Buch enthält eine Sammlung von Aufgaben, wie sie typischerweise in Übungen und Prüfungen zur Einführungsvorlesung in die Informatik gestellt werden. Es ist speziell abgestimmt auf das bereits erschienene Lehrbuch von Appelrath und 1 Ludewig (im Rest des Buches kurz "Skriptum" genannt) und soll dem Lernenden helfen, den umfangreichen Stoff aktiv aufzuarbeiten. Der beste Weg dazu ist, die neuen Konzepte und Vorgehensweisen selbst anzuwenden. Bei der Auswahl und Überarbeitung der Aufgaben wurde besonders auf eine genaue Orientierung am Skriptum geachtet, angefangen bei vordergrün

Overview: This book represents an extended and substantially revised version of my earlierbook, Optimal Control in Problems ofMathematical Physics,originally published in Russian in 1975. About 60% of the text has been completely revised and major additions have been included which have produced a practically new text. My aim was to modernize the presentation but also to preserve the original results, some of which are little known to a Western reader. The idea of composites, which is the core of the modern theory of optimization, was initiated in the early seventies. The reader will find here

Overview: This book provides an introduction to the use of algebraic methods and sym­ bolic computation for simple quantum systems with applications to large order perturbation theory. It is the first book to integrate Lie algebras, algebraic perturbation theory and symbolic computation in a form suitable for students and researchers in theoretical and computational chemistry and is conveniently divided into two parts. The first part, Chapters 1 to 6, provides a pedagogical introduction to the important Lie algebras so(3), so(2,1), so(4) and so(4,2) needed for the study of simple quantum syste

Overview: In 1974 when I published my book, Biological Mechanism of Attachment, not many pages were required to report on the attachment devices of insect cuticles. As in most fields of research, our knowledge on this specific subject has simply exploded. Dr. Stanislav N. Gorb now describes the present day level of our knowledge, to which he has personally contributed so much, and a research team working on biological microtribology has gradually developed, also. With modern methods of measurement it is possible to enter the structure – function relationship much more deeply, even down to a mo
