Overview: Explores recent changes and reforms in local and urban governance.Uses different disciplinary perspectives.Considers different geographies.Important for policy makers, researchers and graduate studentThis book addresses and explores recent trends in the field of local and urban governance. It focuses on three domains: institutional reforms in local government; inter-municipal cooperation; and citizen participation in local governance. .In the last decades, in different regions of the world, there is ample evidence that sub-national government, in particular the field of local governa

Overview: No directly competing titles which consider the mafia mystique that dominated the national public and scientific debate on organised crime.Many books on this subject written in Italian but little publThe Sicilian Mafia, or Cosa Nostra, is one of the most intriguing criminal phenomena in the world. It is an unparalleled organised criminal grouping that over almost two centuries has been able not only to successfully permeate licit and illicit economy, politics and civil society, but also to influence and exercise authoritative power over both the underworld and the upper-world. This c

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Criminal Profiling: Principles and Practice provides a compendium of original scientific research on constructing a criminal profile for crimes that are not readily resolvable by conventional police investigative methods. Leading profiling expert Richard N. Kocsis, PhD, utilizes a distinct approach referred to as Crime Action Profiling (CAP), a technique that has its foundations in the disciplinary knowledge of forensic psychology. .The initial four chapters examine the skills, accuracy, components, and processes surrounding the construction of a cri

Overview: Designed for doctoral students of applied mathematics, mechanics, engineering and physics with a strong interest in the modeling and simulation of complex interface phenomena.Each article starts from The book conveys modern techniques and the latest state-of-the-art with regard to the most fundamental aspects of computational contact mechanics. However, since contact can readily be interpreted as a special type of interface problem, it seems advisable not to isolate contact mechanics, but rather to address it in the context of a broader class of problems denoted as computational inte

Overview: Presents calcium phosphate as a coating material for dental and orthopedic applications.Assesses clinical advances on bone regeneration and early healing following implantation.Describes the incorporaThis book provides in-depth assessment on the latest clinical advances in multifunctional calcium phosphate nanocoatings and its influence on bone regeneration and early healing following implantation. A greater emphasis will be placed on the use of nanocomposite coatings to deliver biological materials such as mesenchymal stem cells, growth factors, bone morphogenetic and extracellular

Overview: The rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full Ecclesiastes What is quantum chemistry? The straightforward answer is that it is what quan­ tum chemists do. But it must be admitted, that in contrast to physicists and chemists, "quantum chemists" seem to be a rather ill-defined category of scientists. Quantum chemists are more or less physicists (basically theoreticians), more or less chemists, and by large, computationists. But first and foremost, we, quantum chemists; are conscious beings. We may safely guess that quantum chemistry was one of the first areas in the natural scie

Overview: Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key notes and implementation advice from the experts.This volume details key protocols for developing strategies in immunotherapy.  Chapters guide the readers through protocols related to various DNA, RNA and protein methods to reprogram the immune system, immune cells, analyzing the effect of the reprogrammed cells, and key methods to consider and analyze patients enrolled in clinical trials with novel immunotherapy regimens. Written in the highly successful .Methods

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology, CMSB 2016, held in Cambridge, UK, in September 2016. The 20 full papers, 3 tool papers and 9 posters presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 regular paper submissions. The topics include formalisms for modeling biological processes; models and their biological applications; frameworks for model verification, validation, analysis, and simulation of biological systems; high-performance computational systems bio

Overview: Some conferences produce proceedings, others an inspiration to labor, which finally leads to a published work. Such has been the case with regard to this volume. In 1984, the Center for Ethics, Medicine, and Public Issues held a conference with the title ‘When are Competent Patients Incompetent?‘ with the support of the Texas Committee for the Humanities, a state-based program of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Assistance was provided by both Baylor College of Medicine and the Institute of Religion. This conference evoked a con­ siderable interest in examining further the

PART I: Continuum Mechanics introduces into the Foundations using tensors in Cartesian coordinate systems, classical theory of elasticity, and fluid mechanics. PART II: Mechanics of Materials has chapters on viscoelasticity, plasticity, principles of constitutive modelling, and thermodynami

Overview: I have been privileged to witness and participate in the great growth of knowledge on chemical carcinogenesis and mutagenesis since 1939 when I entered graduate school in biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin­ Madison. I immediately started to work with the carcinogenic aminoazo dyes un­ der the direction of Professor CARL BAUMANN. In 1942 I joined a fellow graduate student, ELIZABETH CA VERT, in marriage and we soon commenced a joyous part­ nership in research on chemical carcinogenesis at the McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research in the University of Wisconsin Medical School

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in developed countries, but is quickly becoming an epidemic in such well-populated countries as China, India, and other developing nations. Cardiovascular research is the key to the prevention, diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular disease. Vigorous and cross-disciplinary approaches are required for successful card- vascular research. As the boundaries between different scientific disciplines, particularly in the life sciences, are weakening and disappearing, a successful investigator needs to

Overview: The volume elaborates on how to promote ‘best practice’ in career counselling theory and practice, examines the need for a new approach to career counselling, and discusses the importance of reflectinIn this book, career counselling history, best practices as well as contemporary models and methods are brought together. In reflecting on the past, present, and future of career counselling, the story of the postmodern, narrative or career construction approach and the model and methods used to advance careers in the 21st century is told. A meta-reflection concept is proposed, based on

Overview: Continuously increasing oil prices, a dwindling supply of petroleum, and the existence of extensive reserves of biomass, especially of coal, have given rise to a growing interest in generating CO/H from these sources. Catalytic reactions can 2 convert CO/H mixtures to useful hydrocarbons or hydrocarbon intermediates. 2 There is little doubt that petroleum will remain the backbone of the organic chemical industry for many years to come, yet there is great opportunity for CO as an alternative feedstock at times when it is needed. The loosely defined body of chemistry and technology con

Overview: Focuses on everyday realities and practices, rather than providing an exploration of theology or institutionalized faith.Analyses and describes the role of religion in contemporary society, how people.This book highlights tensions and negotiating processes between modern society and conservative religious groups. Conservative religion and society have co-existed for at least a century in an increasingly pluralist society. Still, the right to religious freedom and tolerance clashes with certain expressions of religious exclusivity. In this book, scholars from different disciplines loo
