The aim of this book is to provide students and other readers with knowledge about the conditions for life in brackish water, the functioning of the Baltic Sea ecosystem and its environmental problems and management. It highlights biologi

Overview: Biomedical Engineering Program between Rutgers University and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey entitled "Biopolymers" and "Patho­ biology" during the past 15 years. It is our hope that this book will provide the reader with all the infor­ mation necessary to understand the complexity of the biological reactions that are set into motion by implantation of a material or a device. We hope that this book will provide a framework for thinking about implant interactions with bio­ logical systems. Although the field of studying pathobiological responses to im­ plants i

Overview: Through analysis of newspaper coverage on the debate over the future of Europe in Great Britain and Germany between 2000 and 2005, this book explores the intricate ways in which national identities shape media discourses on European integration. In doing so, it provides some compelling insights into Europe‘s emerging communicative space(s).978-1-349-45963-6978-1-137-32607-2

Overview: Some teachers of biochemistry think it positively beneficial for students to struggle with difficult mathematics. I do not number myself among these people, although I have derived much personal pleasure from the study of mathematics and from applying it to problems that interest me in biochemistry. On the contrary, I think that students choose courses in biochemistry out of interest in biochemistry and that they should not be encumbered with more mathematics than is absolutely required for a proper understanding of biochemistry. This of course includes physical chemistry, because a

Overview: Provides a historical overview of economic, fiscal and financial crises since the 1600s.Breaks down the concept of a black swan event in economic terms.Provides lessons that would be useful in creatinThis book presents to the reader the economic, fiscal and financial crises in world history that have had a great impact on the entire world and the fiscal measures taken by governments to combat each crisis since the 1600s in chronological order. Such events are often described as Black Swans, a concept introduced by economist and risk analyst Nassim Nicholas Taleb in the book .Fooled B

Overview: Sicherheit ist seit jeher Gegenstand erbitterter Debatten der politikwissenschaftlichen Teildisziplin Internationale Beziehungen. Die Schule des Realismus und das Konzept der ‚National Security’ haben das Fach lange dominiert. Der Einzug soziologisch inspirierter konstruktivistischer Theorien hat zwar diese Dominanz gebrochen, aber der entscheidende Schritt für eine erhöhte Anschlussfähigkeit in der Soziologieist ausgeblieben: zu reflektieren, dass jede Art von Sicherheitsproblem einen Beobachter voraussetzt. Erst durch Beobachtung – und damit: in der Kommunikation – werden Bedrohung

Overview: Liefert eine verfassungsrechtliche Analyse algorithmenbasierter Verfahren.Zieht Vergleiche zu regulatorischen Ansätzen in der Nanotechnologie, Gendiagnostik und im Arzneimittelrecht.Bietet erste ReforDieses Buch liefert eine rechtswissenschaftliche Analyse der Chancen und Gefahren algorithmenbasierter Verfahren. Algorithmen, die im Maschinenraum moderner Softwareanwendungen werkeln, sind zu zentralen Steuerungsinstanzen der digitalen Gesellschaft avanciert. Immer nachhaltiger beeinflussen sie unser Leben. Ihre Funktionsweise gleicht aber teilweise einer Blackbox. Die in ihr schlummer

Overview: It is a truism that philosophy and the sciences were closely linked in the age of Leibniz, Newton, and Kant; but a more precise determination of the structure and dynamics of this linkage is required. The subject matter of this volume is the interactions among the developments in philosophy and the transformations that the different branches of sciences, Baconian as well as classical, underwent during this period. Among the topics addressed are the transformations of metaphysics as a discipline, the emergence of analytical mechanics and its consequences for founding physics on metaph

Overview: Unique, cutting edge, thought-provoking, theoretical, and at the same time practical.Timely content addressing the unique needs of schools in an era of increasing globalization.Presents a practical frShift happens:Emerging technologies and globalization have resulted in political, social and cultural changes. These changes have a profound impact on all aspects of human life, including education. Yet while society has changed and continues to change, schools are slow to keep up. This book explores issues related to transforming and modernizing our educational systems, including the im

Overview: Contains detailed descriptions of biomass-to-fuel conversion technologies.Focuses on the conversion of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin.Reviews biochemical and thermochemical conversion approachesThis book focuses on the technologies developed for the conversion of all three biomass components, i.e. cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, and their constituents, to fuels and high-value products. Both biochemical and thermochemical approaches are reviewed. Additionally, the developed technologies are described in detail and their potential applications as well as their commercial stat

Overview: Herkömmlicherweise werden die Oberflächen warm gewalzter Stahlbleche, -bänder, -stäbe, -rohre und anderer Profile zum großen Teil durch Beizen ent­ zundert bzw. gereinigt. In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten ist man in zunehmendem Umfang dazu übergegangen, die Reinigung der Oberflächen auf mechanische Weise auszuführen. Man erkannte dabei sehr bald, daß dazu die sogenannten Strahlverfahren besonders geeignet und wirtschaftlich sind. Bei den genannten Verfahren handelt es sich um solche, bei denen ein geeignetes Strahlmittel (z. B. Stahldrahtkorn oder Stahlkies u. a.) auf die Oberfläche z.

Overview: .Collaborative decision making processes are a form of communication inside organizations. Their functioning can teach lessons for the design of electronic office systems. Those processes are open ended and therefore decide themselves on their form. Like oral deliberations which cannot be modelled in advance any open ended communication process needs means for common control over the further advancement and the ending of the process...The history of German administrative practice and its special methods of using disposals for the control of common processes shows the creation of reco

Overview: Current moral, legal and political questions about genetic engineering.An interdisciplinary approach.Answers to urgent questions about biotechnological developmentGenome Editing Techniques are seen to be at the frontier of current research in the field of emerging biotechnologies. The latest revolutionary development, the so-called CRISPR technology, represents a paradigmatic example of the ambiguity of such techniques and has resulted in an international interdisciplinary debate on whether or not it is necessary to ban the application of this technique by means of a moratorium on it

Overview: Written in an accessible, easy to read manner without detailed rigorous proofs.Lots of examples and exercises throughout the book.Written from the scientists point of view with deep insight into severBrownian dynamics serve as mathematical models for the diffusive motion of microscopic particles of various shapes in gaseous, liquid, or solid environments. The renewed interest in Brownian dynamics is due primarily to their key role in molecular and cellular biophysics: diffusion of ions and molecules is the driver of all life. Brownian dynamics simulations are the numerical realizatio
