Overview: Sheds light on the current state of Czech civil society and its relationship with the neoliberal urban development.Contributes to literature on post-socialist social movements - an emerging and rapidlThis research was supported by Grant no. 14-24977P from the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic as part of the project “Contested Czech cities: Citizen participation in post-socialist urban restructuring..This book focuses on urban grassroots movements in post-socialist Czechia and their struggle against unprofessional and nondemocratic urban processes in their cities. It shows that in th

Overview: There are two main reasons for pursuing research in the Sports Sciences. Firstly, by studying responses to exercise, we learn about the normal function of the tissues and or­ gans whose function allows exercise to be performed. The genetic endowment of elite ath­ letes is a major factor in their success, and they represent one end of the continuum of human performance capability: the study of elite athletes also demonstrates the limits of human adaptation because nowhere else is the body subjected to such levels of intensive exercise on a regular basis. The second reason for studying

Overview: This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited accessThis open access book summarizes research being pursued within the SISCODE (Society in Innovation and Science through CO-DEsign) project, funded by the EU under the H2020 programme, the goal of which is to set up an analytical, reflective and learning framework to explore the transformations in initiatives and policies emerging from the interaction between citizens and stakeholders. The book provides a critical analysis of the co-design processes activated in 10 co-creation labs addressing societal challenge

Overview: Concurrent simulation is over twenty years old. During that pe­ riod it has been widely adopted for the simulation of faults in digital circuits, for which it provides a combination of extreme efficiency and generality . Yet, it is remarkable that no book published so far presents a correct and sufficiently detailed treatment of concurrent simulation. A first reason to welcome into print the effort of the authors is, therefore, that it provides a much needed account of an important topic in design automation. This book is, however, unique for sev­ eral other reasons. It is safe to st

Overview: Interest in comparative acid-base physiology has considerably grown during last decades even in the absence of major technical or conceptual advances. This is firstly because it has become clear that the extracellular acid-base state reflects the performance of many exchange functions at the organism level: respiration and ventilation of the gas exchange surfaces, metab­ olism, iono-and osmoregulation. Such functions are much in­ fluenced by ambient conditions, and the measurement of acid­ base parameters thus provides useful information about the organism‘s responses to environmenta

Overview: Explains step-by-step how to use Excel to analyse risk using Monte Carlo.Illustrates how to incorporate hedging risks into a business plan.Includes exercises to help students understand the concepts.In times of crisis, risk management is more important than ever. In addition, companies are obliged to identify, quantify and aggregate risks as part of a risk management system. Legal and auditing standards have set the framework for doing so. This book uses a case study to show ‘step by step’ how risks can be analyzed and quantified with the help of Microsoft Excel. The book begins with

Overview: Three comprehensive parts - the book addresses interfaces for energy harvesting, which are the key element to connect the micro transducers with energy storage.The book addresses all aspects from tran.Chip-integrated power management solutions are a must for ultra-low power systems. This enables not only the optimization of innovative sensor applications. It is also essential for integration and miniaturization of energy harvesting supply strategies of portable and autonomous monitoring systems..The book particularly addresses interfaces for energy harvesting, which are the key eleme

Overview: Categorical methods of speaking and thinking are becoming more and more widespread in mathematics because they achieve a unifi­ cation of parts of different mathematical fields; frequently they bring simplifications and provide the impetus for new developments. The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to the central part of category theory and to make the literature accessible to the reader who wishes to go farther. In preparing the English version, I have used the opportunity to revise and enlarge the text of the original German edition. Only the most elementary concepts

Overview: It is commonly imagined that in recent years the rampant growth of consumer credit has lured American consumers into a crippling state of indebtedness, a state that has upended old cultural values of Puritan thrift and stimulated a frenzy of consumption. Drawing on the sociological concept of government and informed by a historical perspective, Marron presents a much more complex and nuanced reality. From its early antecedents in nineteenth century salary lending and instalment selling, she shows how the emergence and growth of consumer credit in the United States have always been su

Overview: Up to date reference for researchers and students in the carbonic anhydrase family.Contributions from internationally recognized investigators at the forefront of the carbonic anhydrase field.Mix of tThe study of carbonic anhydrase has spanned multiple generations of scientists. Carbonic anhydrase was first discovered in 1932 by Meldrum and Roughton. Inhibition by sulfanilamide was shown in 1940 by Mann and Keilin. Even Hans Krebs contributed to early studies with a paper in 1948 showing the relationship of 25 different sulfonamides to CA inhibition. It was he who pointed out the imp

Overview: Contributes to an understanding of the complexities of the issues that led to the emergence of Boko Haram.Assesses individual acts that fulfil the requirements of crimes against humanity and war crime.This book concentrates on the crisis perpetrated by the Boko Haram group in Nigeria, which since 2009 has made adefinitive impact on both the domestic and international criminal landscape. The volume centres on three coreissues: first, an assessment of the criminal legal responses at the domestic level, where the legal characterization ofthe conducts in question, including an evaluation

Overview: The communication complexity of two-party protocols is an only 15 years old complexity measure, but it is already considered to be one of the fundamen­ tal complexity measures of recent complexity theory. Similarly to Kolmogorov complexity in the theory of sequential computations, communication complex­ ity is used as a method for the study of the complexity of concrete computing problems in parallel information processing. Especially, it is applied to prove lower bounds that say what computer resources (time, hardware, memory size) are necessary to compute the given task. Besides th

Various topics covered in this book include overview of clay

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Natural and social sciences seem very often, though usually only implicitly, to hedge their laws by .ceteris paribus. clauses - a practice which is philosophically very hard to understand because such clauses seem to render the laws trivial and unfalsifiable. After early worries the issue is vigorously discussed in the philosophy of science and the philosophy of mind since ca. 15 years. .This volume collects the most prominent philosophers of science in the field and presents a lively, controversial, but well-integrated, highly original and up-to-date

Overview: The accumulation of large amounts of ash from fossil fuel combustion for electric power plant generation is becoming a major environmental concern in the United States. Furthermore, stringent environmental regulations mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency through the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as well as state and local environmental regulations may result in even more ash production with subsequent contact with the environment. The concentrations of trace elements in coal residues are extremely variable and depend on the composi

Overview: This first manuscript on cold injuries was written in the period 1945-1946 as the result of personal experience gained in the winter months of the years 1941-1943 on the Northern Front in Russia and subsequent experimental work at the "Chirurgische Uni­ versitatsklinik" in Breslau (Wroclav) between 1943 and 1945. The intention at the time of writing was to present a summary of our experiences, so that they might serve as a basis for further scientific and clinical work. The manuscript has continually been revised and brought up to date. For purely external reasons publication has bee
