Overview: Examines parental influences on students’ musical development in the Chinese context.Solves problems regarding the intergenerational transmission and reproduction of cultural capital in arts education.This book uses Pierre Bourdieu’s cultural capital model as a theoretical framework for exploring how students in Beijing and Hong Kong perceive parental influences—their parents’ cultural capital and support—on their participation in musical activities. By studying students’ perceptions of their parents’ cultural capital and support for their musical activities, this book revisits the a

Overview: The book describes the challenge of modernity faced by Muslims and Christians and the issue of religious pluralism. It describes Muslims‘ encounters with Christianity in the first half of this century and their participation in organised dialogues initiated by the Churches in the second half. It highlights their apprehensions and expectations in dialogue and issues of co-existence in the world today. The book focuses on six prominent Muslim personalities who represent a wide spectrum of Muslim opinion and three international organizations and their attitude towards dialogue.978-0-230

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Although widely recognized as an important waterborne pathogen, Cryptosporidium spp. can also be transmitted by contamination of food. The same properties of this protozoan parasite that mean that water is an excellent transmission vehicle are also important for foodborne transmission. These include the low infective dose, the high number of oocysts that are excreted, and the robustness of these transmission stages. However, many more outbreaks of waterborne cryptosporidiosis have been reported than foodborne outbreaks. This is probably partly due to

Overview: This is the third volume of three which will give the reader an insight into the current state of CNC technology with a focus on practical applications. This volume deals with CNC programming. It has been written in conjunction with a major European supplier of controllers in order to give the reader a more consistent and in-depth understanding of the logic used to program such machines. It explains how why and where to program specific features of a part and how to build them up into complete programs. Thus, the reader will learn about the main aspects of the logical structure and c

Overview: uniquely large database.systematic analysis of maternal diseases.recommendations for future studiesThe major objective of our studies in the last decade was a systematic analysis of maternal diseases during pregnancy to reveal their possible adverse effects on birth outcomes. The two most important factors of infant mortality were parti- larly analyzed: structural birth defects, known as congenital abnormalities (CAs) and preterm birth (PB). In general the objectives of scienti c studies might be either to test a new hypothesis or to con rm or confront previously published results. H

Overview: Of all topological algebraic structures compact topological groups have perhaps the richest theory since 80 many different fields contribute to their study: Analysis enters through the representation theory and harmonic analysis; differential geo­ metry, the theory of real analytic functions and the theory of differential equations come into the play via Lie group theory; point set topology is used in describing the local geometric structure of compact groups via limit spaces; global topology and the theory of manifolds again playa role through Lie group theory; and, of course, algeb

Overview: Due to the general complementary convex structure underlyingmost nonconvex optimization problems encountered in applications,convex analysis plays an essential role in the development of globaloptimization methods. This book develops a coherent and rigoroustheory of deterministic global optimization from this point of view.Part I constitutes an introduction to convex analysis, with anemphasis on concepts, properties and results particularly needed forglobal optimization, including those pertaining to the complementaryconvex structure. Part II presents the foundation and application o

Overview: This is the first study of the strategic dimensions of common security which is set in a post-Cold War context. The book explores both common security and more recent additions to the debate - such as the related idea of ‘cooperative security‘. Separate chapters deal with conceptual issues and pivotal aspects of the contemporary security agenda: the amelioration of the security dilemma, cooperative defence planning, arms control, and peace-enforcement. The book will interest anyone concerned with the reshaping of the international landscape.978-1-349-25531-3

Overview: Covers the whole spectrum of computational modeling of neuronal systems, from the molecule to the organ.Contains several introductory chapters for newcomers, but also describes state of the art researComputational neurosciences and systems biology are among the main domains of life science research where mathematical modeling made a difference. This book introduces the many different types of computational studies one can develop to study neuronal systems. It is aimed at undergraduate students starting their research in computational neurobiology or more senior researchers who would

Overview: This volume grew out of work on Berkeley which was presented in a dissertation several years ago. Though now much revised and greatly expanded. particularly in respect of the theory of concepts, a good part of the present text rests on this earlier foundation. I therefore gladly take this opportunity to express my appreciation to my teachers both at Indiana University and at McGill, and especially to Professor Newton Stallknecht who directed my dissertation. For permission to quote from the Berkeley manuscripts in their keeping, I have first to thank the Trustees of the British Museu

Overview: The area of cognitive processing of Chinese and Japanese iscurrently attracting a great deal of attention by leading cognitivepsychologists. They aim to find out the similarities and differencesin processing the morphosyllabic Chinese and Japanese syllabary ascompared with alphabetic language systems. .Topics under the processing of Chinese include: the use ofphonological codes in visual identification of Chinese words, theconstraint on such phonological activation, recognition of Chinesehomophones, Chinese sentence comprehension and children‘s errors inwriting Chinese characters. .T
