Overview: Advances a research agenda to explore the emerging era of climate urbanism.Explores how climate urbanism is embraced, promoted, or contested.Highlights how cities are central to the climate change polThis book argues that the relationship between cities and climate change is entering a new and more urgent phase. Thirteen contributions from a range of leading scholars explore the need to rethink and reorient urban life in response to climatic change. Split into four parts it begins by asking ‘What is climate urbanism?’ and exploring key features from different locations and epistemolo

Overview: Considers the phenomenon of compensated dating and the multiple dimensions of the relationships between the providers and the clients.Moves beyond stereotypes of sex work to look at the complexities oThis book considers a burgeoning social phenomenon, compensated dating in Hong Kong, that facilitates direct commercial sex exchange between consenting females from their mid-teens through the late 20s and males from their early 20s to mid-adulthood. Informed by the transformation of intimacy, the breakdown of institutional constraints, the emergence of a new female sexual autonomy and t

Overview: Educates graduate students and young researchers to start their own research in the field.Outlines theoretical models of chemical evolution of galaxies and compares them with observational results.Tre.The term “chemical evolution of galaxies” refers to the evolution of abundances of chemical species in galaxies, which is due to nuclear processes occurring in stars and to gas flows into and out of galaxies. .This book deals with the chemical evolution of galaxies of all morphological types (ellipticals, spirals and irregulars) and stresses the importance of the star formation historie

Overview: In recent years, social and organizational aspects of agency have become major research topics in MAS. Recent applications of MAS on Web services, grid c- puting and ubiquitous computing highlight the need for using these aspects in order to ensure social order within such environments. Openness, heterogeneity, and scalability of MAS, in turn, pose new demands on traditional MAS int- action models and bring forward the need to look into the environment where agents interact and at di?erent ways of constraining or regulating interactions. Consequently, the view of coordination and gov

Overview: Proceedings of the workshop Control of Uncertain Systems.Includes supplementary material: This Festschrift contains a collection of articles by friends, co-authors, colleagues, and former Ph.D. students of Keith Glover, Professor of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. Professor Glover‘s scientific work spans a wide variety of topics, the main themes being system identification, model reduction and approximation, robust controller synthesis, and control of aircraft and engines. The articles in this volume are a tribute to Professor Glo

Overview: Praxis-Leitfaden mit vielen Fallbeispielen.Arbeitsblätter für die rasche Umsetzung.Für Erfolg gibt es kein Patentrezept. Dieses Buch beschreibt Chancen und Risiken von Innovation, bewährte Methoden zur Bewertung und zur Durchsetzung. Am Beispiel wird gezeigt, wie man der Gefahr durch schnellen Wandel der Technologien und durch die zunehmende Verfügbarkeit von Informationen begegnet. Im Wettbewerb behauptet sich nur, wer kontinuierlich Prozesse verbessert, Produkte und Mehrwert entwickelt und latente Kundenwünsche aufspürt. Die Autoren beschreiben Methoden für den Umgang mit Chancen u

Overview: With forewords from the First Minister of Wales, the Chief Inspector of Prisons & the Chair of the Youth Justice Board.Examines Child First as an increasingly influential shaper of policy and practiceThis book explores the development and implementation of Child First as an innovative guiding principle for improving youth justice systems. Applying contemporary research understandings of what leads to positive child outcomes and safer communities, Child First challenges traditional risk-led and stigmatising approaches to working with children in trouble. It has now been adopted as the

Overview: Conceptual advances in the biological sciences are marked by the applica­ tion of new techniques and experimental strategies. Nowhere has this ge­ neric principle been more apparent than in the study of testicular cells, as judged by the evolution of themes presented at the Testis Workshop over the past 23 years. Like its predecessors, the 1995 Testis Workshop was structured to offer fresh insights and approaches for understanding the mechanisms of spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis. The chapters pre­ sented in this book emphasize three aspects of testicular cell function: first, th

Overview: Addresses the underlying causes and effects of the Eurozone crisis in four of the states most impacted.Draws on a team of country experts to assess the causes and consequences of crisis.Explores the w.This book investigates the causes and consequences of crisis in four countries of the Eurozone periphery – Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. The contributions to this volume are provided from country-specific experts, and are organised into two themed subsections: the first analyses the economic dynamics at play in relation to each state, whilst the second considers their respective

Overview: Provides full coverage of Chinese Food and Drug Regulation.Combines theory, policy, and practice into one discussion.Usable by experts but also user-friendly for those with no experience.This book is an analysis of policy and law governing the development, approval, manufacture, distribution, marketing and post-market surveillance of human drugs, medical devices, foods and cosmetics in Mainland China (“China FDD Regulation”)...It analyzes the policy and general principles behind China FDD Regulation, including the history and jurisdiction of the central and local agencies that admini

Overview: Explores the history of multiculturalism in Britain.Reveals the friendships between Christian and Jewish Women before the Second World War.Does so through examining a range of diverse sources.This book offers an entirely new contribution to the history of multiculturalism in Britain, 1880-1940. It shows how friendship and co-operation between Christian and Jewish women changed lives and, as the Second World War approached, actually saved them. The networks and relationships explored include the thousand-plus women from every district in Manchester who combined to send a letter of sym

Overview: Traditional approach, but cleaner and more streamlined than most others.Accessible introduction to class field theory.Lots of challenging exercises.Class field theory, the study of abelian extensions of algebraic number fields, is one of the largest branches of algebraic number theory. It brings together the quadratic and higher reciprocity laws of Gauss, Legendre, and others, and vastly generalizes them. Some of its consequences (e.g., the Chebotarev density theorem) apply even to nonabelian extensions.. .This book is an accessible introduction to class field theory. It takes a trad

Overview: The complete shop floor automation - a "lights out factory", where workers initially set up all machines, turn off the lights, lock the door and the machine churns up the parts - remains an unfulfilled dream. Yet when we look at the enormity of the process of automation and integration even for the most simply conceived part factory, we can recognize that automation has been applied and is being applied, more so when it made sense from a cost/benefit standpoint. It is our nature to be dissatisfied with near term progress, but when we realize how short a time the tools to do that auto

Overview: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the second International Workshop on Cancer Prevention through Early Detection, CaPTion, held in conjunction with the 26th International Conference on Medical Imaging and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2023, in Vancouver, Canada, in October 2023..The 11 papers presented at CaPTion 2023 were carefully reviewed and selected from 12 submissions.

Overview: This book represents the second, fully revised edition of the original volume published in 1982. Experience in neuroradiology has confirmed the outstanding value of computed tomography (CT) for the diagnosis of space-occupying lesions within the skull and orbit. It might be assumed, then, that the second edition of this book would simply represent a numerically expanded continua­ tion of the popular first edition. That is not the case, however. Advances in imaging techniques have promp­ ted the creation of a new book whose expanded title reflects its more comprehen­ sive nature. The
