Overview: Expands the scope of Indian Ocean studies with a uniquely broad geographical frame.Applies the concept of connectivity to the role of islands in the Indian Ocean world.Employs a deeply interdisciplinaThis original collection brings islands to the fore in a growing body of scholarship on the Indian Ocean, examining them as hubs or points of convergence and divergence in a world of maritime movements and exchanges. Straddling history and anthropology and grounded in the framework of connectivity, the book tackles central themes such as smallness, translocality, and “the island factor.”

Overview: Provides information on CO2 refrigeration from the scientific fundamentals to practical examples of systems in use.Demonstrates and descries the use of modern CO2-based systems in many domestic and in.This book covers the fundamentals and applications of carbon dioxide vapor compression refrigeration thermodynamic cycles. In particular, it presents new application areas, such as making ice and snow in the Winter Olympic Games, food cooling and refrigeration.

Overview: Presents empirical analysis to explain the heterogeneity in the relationship of endowments and colonizer identity with current institutions.Analyzes the cases of Great Britain, Portugal, France and Sp.This book analyzes the role played by initial endowments and colonizer identity in seeking to explain institutional development in former colonies. It presents a model of two styles of imperialism that integrates the colonial origin and endowment views explaining current institutions. The authors argue that Great Britain and Portugal adopted an ‘economically-oriented’ style, which was p

Overview: It was with great pleasure that I accepted Professor Wackenheim‘s invitation to write the preface of this most interesting monograph. During the international course on neuroradiology in Obernai, organized by Professor Wackenheim in 1978, an entire day was devoted to discussions about various aspects of stenosis of the lumbar vertebral canal. As Professor Wackenheim and his group, in particular Dr. E. Babin, had thorough· ly studied this field, it was an excellent occasion for the exchange of views through personal contact. Their support of basic views such as attributing the cause o

Overview: Discusses advantages and disadvantages of designing wireless mm-wave communication circuits and systems in CMOS.Analyzes the limitations and pitfalls of building mm-wave circuits in CMOS.Includes mm-w.This book focuses on the development of circuit and system design techniques for millimeter wave wireless communication systems above 90GHz and fabricated in nanometer scale CMOS technologies.  The authors demonstrate a hands-on methodology that was applied to design six different chips, in order to overcome a variety of design challenges.  Behavior of both actives and passives, and how

Overview: Modem manufacturing systems involve many processes and operations that can be monitored and controlled at several levels of intelligence. At the highest level there is a computer that supervises the various manufacturing functions, whereas at the lowest level there are stand alone computer controlled systems of manufacturing processes and robotic cells. Until recenty computer-aided manufacturing systems constituted isolated "islands" of automation, each oriented to a particular application, but present day systems offer integrated approaches to manufacturing and enterprise operations

Overview: The studies presented in this book should be of interest to anybody concerned with the teaching of arithmetic to young children or with cognitive development in general. The ‘eaching experiment· was carried out with half a dozen children entering first grade over two years in biweekly sessions. Methodologically the authors‘ research is original. It is a longitudinal but not a naturalistic study, since the experimenter-teachers directed their interaction with each individual child with a view to his or her possible progress. It is experimental in the sense that two groups of subjects

Overview: Demonstrates strength and limitations of radionuclides as analytic tools.Written for a multi-disciplinary research readership.Background knowledge carefully explained in boxes.Contains chapter and secCosmogenic radionuclides are radioactive isotopes which are produced by natural processes and distributed within the Earth system. With a holistic view of the environment the authors show in this book how cosmogenic radionuclides can be used to trace and to reconstruct the history of a large variety of processes. They discuss the way in which cosmogenic radionuclides can assist in the qu

Overview: The concept of culture has long been criticized, with many scholars reformulating it or discarding it entirely. The field of intercultural communication and relations, however, still relies on culture to examine interculturality and this volume provides a comprehensive examination of the problems that the concept poses today.978-1-137-49860-1Series ISSN 2946-3777 Series E-ISSN 2946-3785

Overview: Expertise et renommée du Coma Science Group.Variété des techniques abordées : comportementale, éléctrophysiologique et neuro-imagerie fonctionnelle.Thématique abordée de façon exhaustive Synthèse des Le Coma Science Group vise à améliorer les connaissances sur les désordres de la conscience. Dans cet ouvrage, l‘objectif consiste à confronter l’expertise clinique et l’évaluation comportementale des patients récupérant du coma aux techniques récentes développées en élèctrophysiologie et en neuro-imagerie fonctionnelle. Cela permettra aux cliniciens travaillant avec ce type de patients

Overview: "He who is faithfully analysing ... epi­ lepsy is doing far more than studying epilepsy" Hughlings Jackson Modifying this well-known statement by Jackson, one could say today: "He who is faithfully analysing anti-epileptic drugs is doing far more than studying anti-epileptic drugs". For these drugs not only serve to prevent epileptic fits and thus advance the treatment of epilepsy, they are also effective in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and trigeminal neuralgia. Furthermore, clinical pharmacologists consider anti-epi­ leptic drugs as model drugs in pharmacokinetics and pharmo

Overview: This book is intended as an introduction to the drug treatment of cancer. It is almost ten years since the last edition was written. In the intervening time, there have been numerous developments in cancer chemotherapy and in order to cover these the majority of the text has been completely revised and rewritten. In addition, two new chapters have been introduced, one on the safe handling of cytotoxic drugs and the other on biological response modifiers. In order to incorporate this new information without any undue increase in the length of the text the chapters on a combined approa

Overview: In den späten 90er Jahren sind in Deutschland für die Strategische Führung vor allem zwei Entwicklungen prägend: Innovationspotentiale werden eher in Produkten als bei Dienstleistungen identifiziert, Ertragspotentiale werden eher in einer Shareholder-Value-Optimierung und einer steigenden Aktienkapitalisierung als bei zufriedenen Kunden gesehen. Die Fokussierung auf diese Aspekte der wertorientierten Unternehmensführung war auf Grund des großen Nachholbedarfs erforderlich, muss nun jedoch auf den Customer Value verlagert werden. Harald Henn beschreibt detailliert die Führungsphilosop

Overview: Electrical drives play an important role as electromechanical energy convert­ ers in transportation, material handling and most production processes. The ease of controlling electrical drives is an important aspect for meeting the in­ creasing demands by the user with respect to flexibility and precision, caused by technological progress in industry as well as the need for energy conser­ vation. At the same time, the control of electrical drives has provided strong incentives to control engineering in general, leading to the development of new control structures and their introductio
