Overview: .Digital currencies are a fairly new phenomenon brought about by the spectacular rise of the internet. While Bitcoin is the most famous, there are numerous other digital currencies—from Amazon Coin to Zetacoin. Beyond Bitcoin explores the economic forces underlying the design of their features and their potential.

The authors present a framework that will allow systemic analysis of this dynamic environment and support further discussion of t

Overview: This book, based on detailed studies of eight innovations in mathematics and science education, has many insights to offer on current school reform. Since each innovation studied has taken its own unique approach, the set as a whole spans the spectrum from curriculum development to systemic reform, from c- centrating on particular school populations to addressing all of K-12 education. Yet these reform projects share a common context, a world view on what m- ters in science and mathematics for students of the 1990s and beyond, conv- tions about what constitutes effective instruction,

Overview: Un ouvrage complet écrit à quatre mains par un médecin et un biostatisticien.Un ouvrage pédagogique et accessible à tous, qui met en avant l‘explication des concepts plutôt que les démonstrations math.Parce que les progrès de la médecine sont le fruit d’innovations, l’évaluation de ces innovations est nécessaire. Seule la connaissance des méthodes d’évaluation qui passe par une analyse statistique, permet de mener des travaux de recherche, notamment clinique, avec une rigueur suffisante. La compréhension des concepts sur lesquels s’appuient ces méthodes est plus importante que la con

Overview: .Im Unterschied zum Sekundarschulbereich gelten Kita und Grundschule zumeist als Bildungsabschnitte, in denen alle Kinder gemeinsam, also unabhängig von Herkunft und diverser sozialer und natio-ethno-kulturell codierter Hintergründe zusammen lernen. Jedoch ereignen sich auch im Übergang von der Kita zur Grundschule diverse rassistische und mehrfachdiskriminierende Dynamiken. Die vorliegende Studie zeichnet verschiedene dieser potenziell diskriminierenden und segregierenden „neuralgischen Punkte“ nach, die sich auf der Ebene verschiedener Akteur*innengruppen, Diskurse, Konfliktlinien

Overview: The aim of this book is to present recently discovered connections between Artin‘s braid groups En and left self-distributive systems (also called LD­ systems), which are sets equipped with a binary operation satisfying the left self-distributivity identity x(yz) = (xy)(xz). (LD) Such connections appeared in set theory in the 1980s and led to the discovery in 1991 of a left invariant linear order on the braid groups. Braids and self-distributivity have been studied for a long time. Braid groups were introduced in the 1930s by E. Artin, and they have played an increas­ ing role in mat

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Widespread use of mammography has resulted in detection of small cancers with favorable prognosis, as well as an array of indeterminate lesions, the majority of which turn out to be histologically benign. This book gives a detailed account of the radiology and pathology of screening-detected lesions, with discussion of risk assessment, to assist clinicians in the follow-up of their patients. Related lesions are dealt with in consecutive chapters, giving the reader an opportunity for comparison. The book is well illustrated with radiological and pathol
