Overview: Astrometry from space was performed for the first time and with great success by the ESA Hipparcos satellite (1989-93). This mission was designed as an as­ trometry mission, but the use of a photon counting detector made it possible to produce very important photometric results: the most accurate astronomical pho­ tometry ever by the main Hipparcos mission in a very broad band of 120000 stars, and the two-colour Tycho-2 photometry of 2.5 million stars. The cornerstone ESA mission GAIA was approved in October 2000 for launch not later than 2012. This mission will use CCDs in time-dela

Overview: The seventh volume in the SERDP series.Represents the state of the practice of DNAPL source zone characterization, remediation and management.Useful to the technical practitioner as well as the researThe purpose of this book is to help engineers and scientists better understand dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) contamination of groundwater and the methods and technology used for characterization and remediation. Remediation of DNAPL source zones is very difficult and controversial and must be based on state-of-the-art knowledge of the behavior (transport and fate) of nonaqueous p

Overview: The term "dislocation" is used in several different senses in the literature of mechanics. In the elassic work of VOLTERRA, WEINGARTEN, and SOMIGLIANA, it refers to particular solutions of the equations of linear elasticity, in which a con­ tinuous field of strain does not correspond, globally, to a continuous field of dis­ placement. The configuration of the body so obtained, even when that body is free of all load, is subject to interior stress that does not vanish, and in general no deformation of the body as a wh oIe can bring it into a stress-free configuration. Nevertheless, if

Overview: Provides a detailed exploration of the phase behavior of interfacial properties in complex colloidal mixtures.Supports the explanation of concepts by showing experimental and computer simulation resul.This open access book provides a detailed exploration of the phase behaviour of, and interfacial properties in, complex colloidal mixtures (e.g., clay, milk, blood). Insights into colloids have been at the heart of many innovations in different industries. The big question underlying these innovations is how can colloidal systems be formulated and designed towards the desired properties

Overview: Establishes a model integrating research and advocacy practice and policy for children, youth, families and communities.Provides a substantive knowledge base for effective social policy with training .Current statistics on child abuse, neglect, poverty, and hunger shock the conscience—doubly so as societal structures set up to assist families are failing them. More than ever, the responsibility of the helping professions extends from aiding individuals and families to securing social justice for the larger community..With this duty in clear sight, the contributors to .Child. .and. .F

Overview: This book presents a coherent description of the theoretical and practical aspects of Coloured Petri Nets (CP-nets or CPN). It shows how CP-nets have been de­ veloped - from being a promising theoretical model to being a full-fledged lan­ guage for the design, specification, simulation, validation and implementation of large software systems (and other systems in which human beings and/or com­ puters communicate by means of some more or less formal rules). The book contains the formal definition of CP-nets and the mathematical theory behind their analysis methods. However, it has bee

Overview: From time to time, perhaps a few times each century, a revolution occurs that questions some of our basic beliefs and sweeps across otherwise well guarded disciplinary boundaries. These are the periods when science is fun, when new paradigms have to be formulated, and when young scientists can do serious work without first having to acquire all the knowledge of their teachers. The emergence of nonlinear science appears to be one such revolution. In a surprising manner, this new science has disclosed a number of misconceptions in our traditional understanding of determinism. In partic

Continuous change and complexity inregulatory, social and economic environments are increasingly forcingorganizations and their employees to acquire the necessary job-specificknowledge at the right time and in the right format. Though many regulatorydocuments are now available in digital

Overview: Film and television adaptations of classic literature have held a longstanding appeal for audiences, an appeal that this book sets out to examine. With a particular focus on Wuthering Heights , the book examines adaptations made from the 1930s to the twenty-first century, providing an understanding of how they help shape our cultural landscape.978-1-349-33322-6978-1-137-26287-5

The book is thematically divided into two parts. The first section consists of chapters on nomenclature, epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, complications and prognosis and treatment both pharmacological

Overview: First textbook to describe how to improve qualities of horticultural crops.Instructions for exercises are provided.Strategies to enrich active ingredients in medicinal plants.An understanding of crop physiology and ecophysiology enables the horticulturist to manipulate a plant’s metabolism towards the production of compounds that are beneficial for human health when that plant is part of the diet or the source of phytopharmaceutical compounds. .The first part of the book introduces the concept of Controlled Environment Horticulture as a horticultural production technique used to maxi

Overview: Gesamtüberblick städtischer Zufahrtsmanagementsysteme.Rechtlicher Hintergrund in Europa.Gegenüberstellung verfügbarer Technologien.Includes supplementary material: Dieses Buch bietet eine umfassende Einführung in die Thematik städtischen Zufahrtsmanagements im europäischen Kontext. Dabei werden sowohl gesetzliche, technologische als auch volkswirtschaftliche Aspekte in Betracht gezogen. So kontrovers die Diskussion über städtische Zufahrtsmanagement-Systeme wie beispielsweise City-Maut geführt wird, so wenig kann ignoriert werden, dass diese Instrumente als Verkehrsmanagementmaßnahme

Overview: F. J. COLON Chairman of the Scientific Committee TNO Division of Technology for Society, APELDOORN, The NETHERLANDS Only these past few years have we gained an insight into the full extent of the problems associated with contaminated soils. The first efforts to take effective remedial action at contaminated sites were seriously hampered by the lack of experience, knowledge and technology. Fortunately, this handicap has been partly alleviated by the experience we have gained in the numerous cases we have had, and -unfortunately­ still have to deal with. This meeting on contaminated so

Overview: Offers a dynamic and innovative approach to CAM.Includes chapters on a diversity of CAM topics spanning a broad range of societies, particularly those outside the normal Western focus.Provides a multiThis book examines how complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) – as knowledge, philosophy and practice – is constituted by, and transformed through, broader social developments. Shifting the sociological focus away from CAM as a stable entity that elicits perceptions and experiences, chapters explore the forms that CAM takes in different settings, how global social transformations e

Overview: This book deals with central simple Lie algebras over arbitrary fields of characteristic zero. It aims to give constructions of the algebras and their finite-dimensional modules in terms that are rational with respect to the given ground field. All isotropic algebras with non-reduced relative root systems are treated, along with classical anisotropic algebras. The latter are treated by what seems to be a novel device, namely by studying certain modules for isotropic classical algebras in which they are embedded. In this development, symmetric powers of central simple associative alge

Overview: .Crossing the Border. examines the emergence of a new philosophy based on the idea of "human-centred technology" and, through the use of a case study, illustrates the ways in which users, social scientists, managers and engineers can participate in the design and development of human-centred computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) system. The book offers a unique insight into a large European project (ESPRIT project 1217) aimed at the design and development of a human-centred CIM system. The book examines the problems inherent in developing interdisciplinary design methods and of "cr
