Overview: Schon seit längerem berichten die Medien über erhebliche rechtsextreme und fremdenfeindliche Aktivitäten in unserem Land. Vor rund zwei Jah­ ren verfestigte sich indessen innerhalb kurzer Zeit der Eindruck, dass Häufigkeit und Intensität der Übergriffe deutlich zunahmen. Fast täglich wurden nun Ereignisse mit rechtsextremem und fremdenfeindlichem Hintergrund gemeldet. Dies führte zu einer Intensivierung der Auseinan­ dersetzung darüber, wie man dieser unheilvollen Entwicklung entgegen­ steuern könnte. Gleichzeitig wuchs die Zahl derjenigen Bürgerinnen und Bürger, die das Bedürfnis ve

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-88819-9978-3-642-90674-9Series ISSN 0440-2030

Overview: Introduces a new, more systematic approach to Finite Element Analysis using Symbolic Computation.Can be a primary text for an undergraduate or early postgraduate course, as well as a reference book foAlmost all physical phenomena can be mathematically described in terms of differential equations. The finite element method is a tool for the appro- mate solution of differential equations. However, despite the extensive use of the finite element method by engineers in the industry, understanding the principles involved in its formulation is often lacking in the common user. As an approx

Overview: Unterbringung, Raumaneignung und städtische Integration Geflüchteter.Empirische Untersuchungen einer bislang vernachlässigten Forschungsfrage.Interdisziplinäres und kooperatives ForschungsprojektIm Begriff Fluchtort Stadt ist die der Studie zugrunde liegende These ausgedrückt, dass fluchtfolgebedingte Prozesse als ein integraler Bestandteil von Stadtentwicklung betrachtet werden müssen.

Overview: In den 75 Jahren seit der Gründung der Physikalisch-Technischen Reichs­ anstalt (PTR), der Vorgängerin der Physikalisch-Technischen Bundes­ anstalt (PTB), haben Physik und Technik die kühnen Erwartungen eines Werner von Siemens, des aktivsten Mitbegründers der PTR, weit über­ troffen. Es folgten völlig neuartige Lebensbedingungen für die Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Für Werner von Siemens stand die Förderung der Industrie durch eine "unabhängige Staatsanstalt" im Vordergrund der Erwägungen. Noch heute sind die Aufgaben der PTB mit der industriellen Entwicklung eng verknüpft. Ober d

Overview: Die Bewertung von Unternehmungen und Unternehmungsanteilen stellt die Theoretiker und vor allem die Praktiker manchmal vor kaum zu lösende Pro­ bleme. Die fachliche Diskussion ist sehr lebhaft und wird erfreulicherweise sogar auf internationaler Ebene (UEC-Tagungen) geführt. Trotz der zahlreichen Bemühungen ist es bisher jedoch nicht gelungen, gewisse allgemeingültige Grundsätze auszuarbeiten. Das zeigt sich auch im Fall der Abfindung der Knorr-Aktionäre. Fünf Gutachten brachten Werte zwischen % 560 Ofo und 1060 • Die Richter waren überfordert und nahmen der Einfachheit halber "einen

Overview: Interest in progressive education and feminist pedagogy has gained a significant following in current educational reform circles. Founding Mothers and Others examines the female founders of progressive schools and other female educational leaders in the early twentieth century and their schools or educational movements. All of the women led remarkable lives and their legacies are embedded in education today. The book examines the lessons to be learned from their work and their lives. The book also analyzes whether their leadership styles support contemporary feminist theories of lead

Overview: Finite model theory has its origin in classical model theory, but owes its systematic development to research from complexity theory. The book presents the main results of descriptive complexity theory, that is, the connections between axiomatizability of classes of finite structures and their complexity with respect to time and space bounds. The logics that are important in this context include fixed- point logics, transitive closure logics, and also certain infinitary languages; their model theory is studied in full detail. Other topics include DATALOG languages, quantifiers and or

Overview: The book summarizes recent international research and experimental developments regarding fatigue crack growth investigations of rubber materials. It shows the progress in fundamental as well as advanced research of fracture investigation of rubber material under fatigue loading conditions, especially from the experimental point of view. However, some chapters will describe the progress in numerical modeling and physical description of fracture mechanics and cavitation phenomena in rubbers. .Initiation and propagation of cracks in rubber materials are dominant phenomena which determi

Overview: ‘The most significant issue that Dockrill addresses is that of how Japan views the war in retrospect, a question which not only tells us a lot about how events were seen in Japan in 1941 but is also, a matter still of importance in contemporary East Asian politics.‘ Antony Best, London School of Economics This multi-authored work, edited by Saki Dockrill, is an original, unique, and controversial interpretation of the Second World War in Asia and the Pacific. Dr Dockrill, the author of Britain‘s Policy for West German Rearmament, has skilfully converted the proceedings of an internat
