Overview: The financial liberalization thesis emerged in the 1970s and has been of considerable importance ever since, not merely in terms of its theoretical influence but, perhaps more importantly, in terms of its impact on policy makers and policy debates. Although it has encountered increasing scepticism over the years, it nevertheless had a relatively early impact on development policy, which still continues unabated, through the work of the IMF and the World Bank. The latter two institutions, perhaps in their traditional role as promoters of what were claimed to be free market conditions,

Many of the contributions included focus on data from East Asian languages, particularly Japanese and Korean. The collection reflects on a range of new empirical issues that have arisen, in

Overview: Describes recent advances in the use of fuzzy logic for the design of hybrid intelligent systems based on nature-inspired optimization and their applications in diverse areas.Addresses areas such as iThis book describes recent advances in the use of fuzzy logic for the design of hybrid intelligent systems based on nature-inspired optimization and their applications in areas such as intelligent control and robotics, pattern recognition, medical diagnosis, time series prediction and optimization of complex problems. Based on papers presented at the North American Fuzzy Information Proc

Overview: This text presents an introduction to the application of the finite ele­ ment method to the analysis of heat transfer problems. The discussion has been limited to diffusion and convection type of heat transfer in solids and fluids. The main motivation of writing this book stems from two facts. Firstly, we have not come across any other text which provides an intro­ duction to the finite element method (FEM) solely from a heat transfer perspective. Most introductory texts attempt to teach FEM from a struc­ tural engineering background, which may distract non-structural engineers from

Overview: This book describes the struggle for power between two totalitarian dictatorships in the north of Europe and the battle for survival of a small nation caught between them. In the Winter War of 1939-1940 Finland successfully fought off a Soviet invasion. Then, with none to turn to but Germany, it became the only democratic state on the Axis side. Ultimately, it succeeded in extricating itself from the war and, despite the shadow of Russia looming over it, averted a Communist takeover.978-1-349-42116-9978-1-4039-1974-8

Overview: In dieser Monographie werden Verfahren zur modularen Testerzeugung für Schaltnetze entwickelt. Ausgehend von einer Beschreibung der modularen Schaltung und den Tests für die einzelnen Module bestimmen diese Verfahren den Test für die modulare Schaltung. Die Arbeit geht in diesem Zusammenhang auch auf den prüfgerechten Entwurf modularer Schaltungen ein. In Analogie zum klassischen sensibilisierten Pfad, der 1 Bit Testinformation weiterleiten kann, wird der Pfadbegriff auf die parallele Weiterleitung von k Bit Testinformation verallgemeinert. Die Arbeit formalisiert dazu mehrere Klasse

Overview: Highlights the difficulties of holding a position within academia and how these might differ across the career span.Draws together an international and interdisciplinary range of contributions to presThis book offers a contemporary account of what it means to inhabit academia as a privilege, risk, entitlement or a failure. Drawing on international perspectives from a range of academic disciplines, it asks whether feminist spaces can offer freedom or flight from the corporatized and commercialized neoliberal university. How are feminist voices felt, heard, received, silenced, and mask

Overview: The book consists of three parts: part I focuses multi-biometric systems. Part 2 deals with face recognition under changing circumstances (illumination, viewpoint, aging), Part 3 gives new solutions t.This book provides an ample coverage of theoretical and experimental state-of-the-art work as well as new trends and directions in the biometrics field. It offers students and software engineers a thorough understanding of how some core low-level building blocks of a multi-biometric system are implemented.

Overview: Gegenstand des Buches sind die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen von Normen und anderen freiwilligen Standards im Umweltschutz. Erstmals werden diese sowohl aus dem Blickwinkel der Neuen Politischen Ökonomie als auch der Ordnungs-, Wettbewerbs- und Umweltpolitik betrachtet. Aufbauend auf einem Gutachten für das Bundeswirtschaftsminsterium wird u.a. untersucht, ob und inwieweit freiwillige Umweltstandards zu höherer ökologischer und ökonomischer Effizienz führen können, ferner ob sie tatsächlich die Abhängigkeit des Staates von Interessengruppen erhöhen, und nicht zuletzt, welche Interessen s
