Overview: Although underpinned by theory, the book is very practical (follows an actual group over a 9 month period, from start to finish). Looks at institutional groups, as well as staff groups or family groupBuilding on the individual‘s personal experience of groups, starting in the family, the authors offer an account of why things happen as they do in groups, providing a basis for developing groupwork in a wide range of settings, rooted in an understanding of the interaction between individual and group processes. Particular attention is paid in the group-analytic approach to the social, c

Overview: Search structures support the fundamental data storage primitives on key-value pairs: insert a pair, delete by key, search by key, and update the value associated with a key. Concurrent search structures are parallel algorithms to speed access to search structures on multicore and distributed servers. These sophisticated algorithms perform fine-grained synchronization between threads, making them notoriously difficult to design correctly. Indeed, bugs have been found both in actual implementations and in the designs proposed by experts in peer-reviewed publications. The rapid develop

Overview: Addresses the specific need for a readable book on this very interdisciplinary and new topic at research level.Includes supplementary material: How did life originate in the universe? How did it all start after the creation of matter and the formation of elements in the stars? What are the pathways from the first organic molecules in space to the evolution of complex life forms on Earth and perhaps elsewhere? And how will it all end? The Universe itself sets the stage for the very interdisciplinary field of astrobiology that attempts to answer such questions, the central one being: W

Overview: In the earlier stages of integrated circuit design, analog circuits consisted simply of type 741 operational amplifiers, and digital circuits of 7400-type gates. Today‘s designers must choose from a much larger and rapidly increasing variety of special integrated circuits marketed by a dynamic and creative industry. Only by a proper selection from this wide range can an economical and competitive solution be found to a given problem. For each individual case the designer must decide which parts of a circuit are best implemented by analog circuitry, which by conventional digital circu

Overview: Vom Lehrbuch des österreichischen bürgerlichen Rechtes wird hiemit als vorletzter Band der Allgemeine Teil vorgelegt; das Samenrecht wird die 1963 begonnene Arbeit zu Ende führen. Jeder Verfasser empfindet wohl, daß er nicht ganz in der Hand hat, wie sich sein Werk gestaltet; es wächst organisch, entwicltelt ein Eigenleben. So hat im Laufe der Bear­ beitung unwillkürlich ihre Intensität zugenommen. Schon der Allgemeine Teil des Schuldrechtes ist eingehender dargestellt, noch mehr gilt das vom Allgemeinen Teil des bürgerlichen Rechtes. Das läßt sich damit recht­ fertigen, daß es hier
