Specifically, it has led to a deeper understanding of

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche StudieAnhand biografischer Interviews mit migrantischen Kindertagespflegepersonen evaluiert Janina Glaeser Care-Politiken in Deutschland und Frankreich und setzt sie in Relation zur steigenden Betreuungsnachfrage. Maghrebinische assistantes maternelles in Frankreich erfahren einen Statusgewinn, Tagesmütter aus postsozialistischen Ländern in Deutschland hingegen einen Verlust sozialer Mobilität. Zentral ist in beiden Ländern die Wechselwirkung einer modernen Arbeitsteilung hauptsächlich unter Frauen: die Rahmenbedingungen erwerbstätiger Mütter bedingen jene der

Overview: The impact of basic science radiobiological research is now being recognized of significant importance in clinical radiation oncology. Observations made in the laboratory using animals as‘well as tissue culture have led to a better biologic understanding of techniques for altered fractionation, techniques for measuring tumor cell proliferation, the possi­ bilities and limitations of methods for evaluation of nonrandomized clinical studies in deriving time dose relationships for human tumors as well as a better understanding of repair kinetics in mammalian cells, fractionation sensiti

Overview: CT and MR protocols are described for each abdominal organ.Clinical cases are accompanied by imaging features and illustrated algorithms to reinforce pattern recognition for interpretation and diagnos.This book offers concise descriptions of cross-sectional imaging studies of the abdomen and pelvis, supplemented with over 1100 high-quality images and discussion of state-of-the-art techniques. It is based on the most common clinical cases encountered in daily practice and uses an algorithmic approach to help radiologists arrive first at a working differential diagnosis and then reach

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The objective of the workshops associated with the ER2000 19th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling was to give participants the opportunity to present and discuss emerging, hot topics, thus adding new perspectives to conceptual modeling. This attracts communities which have begun to or which have already recognized the importance of conceptual modeling for solving their problems. To meet this objective, we selected the following two topics: { Conceptual Modeling Approaches for E-Business (eCOMO2000) aimed at studying the application of con

Overview: Highlights the significance of John Winthrop, Jr.’s life and works for chemistry.Examines the role of Harvard College in connection with developments in alchemy and iatrochemistry.Sheds new light on tThis book explores the lively chemistry culture that arose during the 17th century in Colonial New England. This was chiefly due to the efforts of John Winthrop, Jr. who brought both chemical knowledge and the largest library of chemical books in the New World to Boston. He founded towns, such as Ipswich and New London, and industrial enterprises, such as salt works and ironworks, while

Overview: Describes cause–effect structures as an extension of the elementary c–e structures, and with the following features: weighted edges, multi-valued nodes with capacities, inhibitors, and several models .This book presents a new algebraic system whose interpretation coincides with the behaviour of Petri nets, enhanced with an inhibitory mechanism and four time models. Its goal is to provide a formal means of modelling dynamic tasks, and of testing and verifying properties, in contexts characterised by the parallel execution of actions. However, the task description differs from that of

Overview: Magnetic resonance angiography has made great strides, with continuing improvements in hardware, pulse sequencing, and know-how allowing ever-increasing speed, resolution, and suppression of artifacts. However, an inherent physical barrier has always been limited SNR. Gadolinium contrast agents help to increase SNR by facilitating T1 relaxation, but they can be injected only at a finite rate and at a limited molar dose, and there is a rapid drop in c- centration following the brief arterial phase due to redistribution into the extracellular fluid compartment. With its sixfold increas

Overview: The book treats the C -hydrocarbons and their secondary products as a contribution 4 to chemical engineering economics, applying this field of teaching and research to the technical processes for making and processing this group of products, so important to the chemical industry. As early as tpe 1950s the then director of the Institute for Technical Chemistry of the Berlin Technical University, Professor Herbert Kolbel, took the‘ initiative in the domain of Chemical Engineering Economics and began systematic studies of Project Engineering and Cost Estimation in connection with chemic

Overview: Seit Beginn der 70er Jahre wandeln sich die Banken schneller als je zuvor in ihrer Geschichte. Die gute Hausbank war immer schon mehr als der Kreditgeber ihrer Kunden oder die Verwalterin ihrer Einlagen. Sie war immer schon auch Berater. Aber die Bankerttäge flossen früher fast ausschließlich aus der Spanne zwischen Soll- und Habenzinsen; die Beratungsleistungen waren eine Dreingabe. Wie in anderen Wirtschaftszweigen auch, so beginnt sich das zu wandeln. Die Bankenmärkte werden immer vollkommener, die Zinsmarge muß langfristig schrumpfen. Beratungsleistungen gewinnen einerseits mehr
