Overview: Trusting a computer for a security-sensitive task (such as checking email or banking online) requires the user to know something about the computer‘s state. We examine research on securely capturing a computer‘s state, and consider the utility of this information both for improving security on the local computer (e.g., to convince the user that her computer is not infected with malware) and for communicating a remote computer‘s state (e.g., to enable the user to check that a web server will adequately protect her data). Although the recent "Trusted Computing" initiative has drawn bot

Overview: In writing our book we had in mind both practicing physicians and scientif­ ic personnel. We hope that the former will benefit from an analysis of clinical symptoms and changes in the morphological substrate which produce them, and that the latter will be interested in facts illustrating the resistance of nervous tissue to compression and displacement, and in our concept of the primary role played by blood supply in the functional disturbances of a deformed brain stem. Although only a short time has elapsed since the first edition of the book, it has been necessary to introduce a num

Overview: Wozu bedarf es eigentlich einer Informationsschrift für Ärzte über etwas so Selbstverständliches wie Bewegung zur Senkung erhöhter Blutfette? Das Selbstverständliche ist leider längst nicht so selbstverständlich, wie es scheint. Die zunehmende Zahl der Jogger in deutschen Parks und Wäl­ dern, die überfüllten Tennisplätze und die mehr und mehr in Mode kom­ menden Fitness-Studios sind zwar Indiz für ein wachsendes Gesundheits­ bewußtsein in unserer Bevölkerung, jedoch bisher keineswegs der wün­ schenswerte Normalfall. Zwar rollt die Fitnesswelle, das Patientengut im ärztlichen Warte-un

Overview: I have tried in this book to introduce the basic concepts of electromagnetic field theory at a level suitable for students entering degree or higher diploma courses in electronics or subjects allied to it. Examples and applications have been drawn from areas such as instrumentation rather than machinery, as this was felt to be more apt for the majority of such readers. Some students may have been following courses with a strong bias towards prac­ tical electronics and perhaps not advanced their understanding of the physics of electric and magnetic fields greatly since ‘0‘ level or it

Overview: Reformen sind allgegenwärtig. Doch ihre große Akzeptanz erscheint rätselhaft, denn das Scheitern von Reformen ist der Normalfall. Wie ist es möglich, dass Organisationen trotzdem immer wieder neue Versuche unternehmen, sich durch Reformen zu verbessern? Wenn die meisten Reformen ihre ehrgeizigen Ziele verfehlen, stellt sich zudem die Frage: Welche Probleme werden durch Reformen eigentlich gelöst? Im Anschluss an Forschungen des Neo-Institutionalismus und der soziologischen Systemtheorie liefert Carl Peter Kleidat Antworten auf diese Fragen, indem er die Voraussetzungen der Reformakze
