Overview: Focuses on three essential elements of agricultural supply chains.Examines agricultural supply chain operations through the lens of micro-economic theory.Presents case studies, explains their results This book focuses on three essential elements of agricultural supply chains: Planting and Growing, Processing and Selling, and Government Interventions. For decades, most agricultural economists applied macro-economic theory in decisions pertaining to the optimization of food production and distribution. However, few researchers used micro-economic theory to examine how individual farmer

Overview: Covers all relevant topics in introductory topology - grew out of course notes from an introductory topology course.Unique in its scope and approach on various points - for example, it provides covera.If mathematics is a language, then taking a topology course at the undergraduate level is cramming vocabulary and memorizing irregular verbs: a necessary, but not always exciting exercise one has to go through before one can read great works of literature in the original language...The present book grew out of notes for an introductory topology course at the University of Alberta. It pr

Overview: Das Einführungsbuch zum Thema Arbeit.Arbeit im Kontext des modernen Finanzmarktkapitalismus.Aktualisierte und ergänzte NeuauflageEin zentrales Problem für jede Erwerbsorganisation ist die Transformation von Arbeitskraft in Arbeit; schließlich ist durch den Abschluss eines Arbeitsvertrages allein noch keineswegs sichergestellt, dass Arbeitnehmer auch wie gewünscht arbeiten. Lange Zeit wurde versucht, dieses Problem durch engmaschige Kontrollen zu lösen, doch mittlerweile macht sich die Auffassung breit, dass es ein effizienterer Weg ist, die Arbeitnehmer selbst verantwortlich zu mache

Overview: Standardwerk zur extensiven Bewirtschaftung, aktuelle Forschung.Aufzeigen von Alternativen zur Bewirtschaftung, Honorierung ökologischer Leistungen und deren Auswirkungen.Includes supplementary materi.In weiten Gebieten Mitteleuropas ist Ackerbau auf ertragsschwachen Standorten nur mit öffentlicher Förderung kostendeckend. Diese ist für die nähere Zukunft gesichert, langfristig aber ungewiss. Eine großflächige Aufgabe des Ackerbaus wäre aus zahlreichen Gründen problematisch. Ausgehend von einer historischen Betrachtung untersucht dieses Buch Perspektiven eines extensiven, multifunkti

Overview: Welcome to the proceedings of the 10th Pacific Rim Conference on Multimedia (PCM 2009) held in Bangkok, Thailand, December 15-18, 2009. Since its inception in 2000, PCM has rapidly grown into a major conference on multimedia in the Asia- Pacific Rim region and has built up its reputation around the world. Following the success of the preceding conferences, PCM 2008 in Taiwan, PCM 2007 in Hong Kong, PCM 2006 in China, PCM 2005 in Korea, PCM 2004 in Japan, PCM 2003 in Singapore, PCM 2002 in Taiwan, PCM 2001 in China, and PCM 2000 in Australia, the tenth PCM brought researchers, develop

Overview: Includes supplementary material: With the rapid development of Web-based learning and new concepts like virtual cla- rooms, virtual laboratories and virtual universities, many issues need to be addressed. On the technical side, there is a need for effective technology for deployment of W- based education.On the learning side, the cyber mode of learning is very different from classroom-based learning. How can instructional developmentcope with this new style of learning? On the management side, the establishment of the cyber university - poses very different requirements for the set-u

Overview: Angststoornissen en hypochondrie is een actueel overzichtswerk, waarin op praktische wijze inzicht gegeven wordt in de classificatie (volgens de DSM-IV-TR-criteria), diagnostiek, etiologie en behandeling van angststoornissen en hypochondrie.Bij de behandeling van deze stoornissen wordt, naast een bespreking van farmacotherapie, met name aandacht besteed aan recente ontwikkelingen in de cognitieve therapie en gedragstherapie. Er zijn door de jaren heen vorderingen gemaakt op het gebied van research die implicaties hebben voor de diagnostiek en behandeling van deze stoornissen.Angststo

Overview: This is the third in a series of short books on probability theory and random processes for biomedical engineers. This book focuses on standard probability distributions commonly encountered in biomedical engineering. The exponential, Poisson and Gaussian distributions are introduced, as well as important approximations to the Bernoulli PMF and Gaussian CDF. Many important properties of jointly Gaussian random variables are presented. The primary subjects of the final chapter are methods for determining the probability distribution of a function of a random variable. We first evaluat

Overview: This book is formulated from the papers presented at the International Symposium on "Membrane Biochemistry and Bioenergetics," held at the Rensselaerville Institute, Rensselaerville, New York, August 1986, in honor of Tsoo E. King on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of reconstitution of arespiratory chain system by Professor David Keilin and Tsoo E. King. Professor Tsoo E. King, to whom this volume is dedicated, has made enormous contributions to the field of isolation and reconstitution of membrane proteins and has continued to explore the frontiers of bioener­ getics.

Overview: Provides both surveys and recent advances in phase space analysis for pdes.Distinguished mathematicians address current work of importance.Includes supplementary material: The present volume is a collection of papers mainly concerning Phase Space Analysis,alsoknownasMicrolocal Analysis,anditsapplicationstothetheory of Partial Di?erential Equations (PDEs). The basic idea behind this theory, at the crossing of harmonic analysis, functional analysis, quantum mechanics and algebraic analysis, is that many phenomena depend on both position and frequency (or wave numbers, or momentum) and

Overview: During the past two decades professional interest in Terminal Care has increased dramatically. It is always difficult to trace the origins of a change of emphasis in medical and nursing care but it is likely that three influences have contributed to bring this about. Firstly, the rise of the modern hospice movement with its recognition that dying and mourning are normal life events and that the lay person has a role in these events no less important than the health professional; secondly, the development of sophisticated and successful techniques of palliative care and pain control;

Overview: The Kalman filter is the Bayesian optimum solution to the problem of sequentially estimating the states of a dynamical system in which the state evolution and measurement processes are both linear and Gaussian. Given the ubiquity of such systems, the Kalman filter finds use in a variety of applications, e.g., target tracking, guidance and navigation, and communications systems. The purpose of this book is to present a brief introduction to Kalman filtering. The theoretical framework of the Kalman filter is first presented, followed by examples showing its use in practical application
