Overview: Das Bildsampling, das Bildrecycling, die Überlagerung oder die Collage, also die Mehrfachnutzung von Abbildungen, ist eine der wichtigsten visuellen Kulturtechniken. Wenn neue Bilder wirken und visuell erfolgreich sein sollen, benötigen sie ein gewisses Maß an bereits bekannten visuellen Eindrücken. Sie nutzen gezielt Teile und Versatzstücke aus fremden Bildern in Form eines ähnlichen Konzeptes, einer vertrauten Erscheinung oder durch ein direktes visuelles Zitat. Insofern muss die Bilderflut nicht mehr sensationserheischend beschworen werden, sie ist längst da, denn sie war immer da

Overview: .The production of beer today occurs within a bifurcated industrial structure. There exists a small number of large, global conglomerates supplying huge volumes of a limited range of beers, and a plethora of small and medium breweries producing a diverse range of beers sold under unique brands. .Brewing, Beer and Pubs addresses a range of contemporary issues and challenges in this key sector of the global economy, and includes contributions by research specialists from a variety of countries and disciplines. This book includes the marketing and globalization of the brewing industry,

Overview: Presents theoretical and empirical research on economic and business issues in Southeastern and Central Europe.Sheds new light on the micro- and macroeconomic developments in the Eastern European and .This book addresses contemporary and modern topics around business growth and economic development in Southeastern Europe. It covers a wide range of business issues focusing on the adoption of new technologies, finance of SMEs, place marketing, value co-creation, contribution to economic growth, and internationalization. Moverover, it sheds new light on the micro- and macroeconomic deve

Overview: How are we to understand the complex forces that shape human be­ havior? A variety of diverse perspectives, drawing on studies of human behavioral ontogeny, as well as humanity‘s evolutionary heritage, seem to provide the best likelihood of success. It is in an attempt to synthesize such potentially disparate approaches to human development into an integrated whole that we undertake this series on the genesis of behav­ ior. In many respects, the incredible burgeoning of research in child development over the last decade or two seems like a thousand lines of inquiry spreading outward

Overview: Bridges intellectual divides and useful for student nurses and advanced practitioners.Written by experts.Each chapter has an abstract, key facts, definition of words and terms, potential applications In the past decade there has been a major sea change in the way disease is diagnosed and investigated due to the advent of high throughput technologies, such as microarrays, lab on a chip, proteomics, genomics, lipomics, metabolomics etc. These advances have enabled the discovery of new and novel markers of disease relating to autoimmune disorders, cancers, endocrine diseases, genetic di

Overview: This review series covers actual trends in modern biology - All aspects of this interdisciplinary technology, where knowledge, methods and expertise are required from chemistry, biochemistry, microbioIn this special issue review articles summarize the most outstanding features of microorganisms that can survive under extreme conditions. These microorganisms are adapted to living at 100° C in volcanic springs, at low temperatures in the cold polar seas, at high pressure in the deep sea, at very low and high pH values (pH 0-1 or pH 10-11), or at very high salt concentrations (35%).

Overview: While classic data management focuses on the data itself, research on Business Processes also considers the context in which this data is generated and manipulated, namely the processes, users, and goals that this data serves. This provides the analysts a better perspective of the organizational needs centered around the data. As such, this research is of fundamental importance. Much of the success of database systems in the last decade is due to the beauty and elegance of the relational model and its declarative query languages, combined with a rich spectrum of underlying evaluation

Overview: We study the boundary behaviour of a conformal map of the unit disk onto an arbitrary simply connected plane domain. A principal aim of the theory is to obtain a one-to-one correspondence between analytic properties of the function and geometrie properties of the domain. In the classical applications of conformal mapping, the domain is bounded by a piecewise smooth curve. In many recent applications however, the domain has a very bad boundary. It may have nowhere a tangent as is the case for Julia sets. Then the conformal map has many unexpected properties, for instance almost all th

Overview: Covers almost all temperate tree plantation crops.Serves as a reference book for all users (researchers, teachers, students).Many chapters include biotechnology and molecular components, more like a p.Tree species are indispensable to human needs. Due to their long life cycle and environmental sensitivity, breeding trees for sustainable production is a formidable challenge in order to meet the demands of growing human population and industries.

Overview: Situates boycotts historically to show how they have changed over time, from the late eighteenth century to the present.Explores how such boycotts have intersected with Jewish history and the history In this book historians and social scientists examine boycotts from the  eighteenth century to the present day. Employed in struggles against British rule in the American colonies, against racial discrimination in the United States during the Civil Rights movement, and Apartheid in South Africa, today it is Israel that is the focus of a campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS

Overview: Honeybees are as small as flies or as large as hornets, nesting in nar­ row cavities of trees and rocks or in the open on large limbs of trees 30 m above ground. They occur in tropical zones and in the forests of the Ural mountains, they survive seven months of winter and even longer periods of drought and heat. Historically, they lived through a extended time of stagnation in the tropics from the mid-Tertiary, but then experienced an explosive evolution during the Pleistocene, re­ sulting in the conquest of huge new territories and the origin of two dozen subspecies in Apis mellifer

Overview: Presents a rigorous analysis of the turnout paradox that proves its relevance has been vastly overstated.Analyzes political data by implementing game theory methodologies.Provides an alternate method .​This Brief uses game-theoretic analysis to debunk the turnout paradox and offers an alternative economic model to elucidate the patterns behind the socioeconomic bias in turnout. The author argues that the turnout paradox—the idea that rational, strategic actors would not vote in an election—is an overstated problem, and that, contrary to widespread belief, game-theoretic models of ele
