Overview: .From Catastrophe to Chaos: A General Theory of Economic..Discontinuities. presents and unusual perspective on economicsand economic analysis. Current economic theory largely depends uponassuming that the world is fundamentally continuous. However, anincreasing amount of economic research has been done using approachesthat allow for discontinuities such as catastrophe theory, chaostheory, synergetics, and fractal geometry. The spread of suchapproaches across a variety of disciplines of thought has constituteda virtual intellectual revolution in recent years. This book reviewsthe appl

Overview: Provides a comprehensive overview of the latest study on the RM instability.Proposes the latest experimental method to perform shock-tube experiments on the RM instability.Identifies the essential effThis book illustrates the latest progress on the hydrodynamic instabilities induced by a shock wave, particularly RM (Richtmyer–Meshkov) instability. The hydrodynamic instabilities play crucial roles in various industrial and scientific fields, such as inertial confinement fusion, supersonic combustion, supernova explosion, etc. This book experimentally and theoretically explores the sho

Overview: Potentially huge market, due to Rich Internet Applications growing in popularity, and Microsoft Office and .NET development being so popular – this book shows how to use XML and Flash to integrate the.XML is a completely platform-agnostic data medium. Flash is able to make use of XML data, which is very useful when creating rich Internet applications. It allows you to populate Flash web interfaces with data from almost any source that supports XML as a data medium, be it databases, raw XML files, or more excitingly, .NET applications, Web Services, and even Microsoft Office applicati

Overview: Aktuelle sozialwissenschaftliche Beiträge?.Der Begriff der Fokusgruppen bezeichnet ein moderiertes Diskursverfahren, bei dem eine Kleingruppe durch einen Informationsinput zur Diskussion über ein bestimmtes Thema angeregt wird. Eingeführt als Partizipationsverfahren ermöglicht dies die Einbindung von BürgerInnen in politische Entscheidungsprozesse. Anhand diverser Beispiele aus der empirischen Sozialforschung stellen die AutorInnen dieses Sammelbands die Methode vor und diskutieren deren Stärken und Schwächen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Auswahl der TeilnehmerInnen, möglichen Moder

Overview: Argues that the history of emotion is most clearly understood in terms of institutionalization.Clarifies how emotions were central to people’s political engagement and its effects.Highlights the increHistoricizing both emotions and politics, this open access book argues that the historical work of emotion is most clearly understood in terms of the dynamics of institutionalization. This is shown in twelve case studies that focus on decisive moments in European and US history from 1800 until today. Each case study clarifies how emotions were central to people’s political engagement and

Overview: Shows a spread of practical applications for techniques which have until recently been of theoretical interest.Techniques presented lend themselves to easy implementation with off-the-shelf software.O.Finite-time stability (FTS) is a more practical concept than classical Lyapunov stability, useful for checking whether the state trajectories of a system remain within pre-specified bounds over a finite time interval. In a linear systems framework, FTS problems can be cast as convex optimization problems and solved by the use of effective off-the-shelf computational tools such as LMI so

Overview: Taking Hugh of St. Victor‘s On the Sacraments of the Christian Faith as his source text, Dillard applies the methods of analytic philosophy to develop a systematic theology in the spirit of Christian Platonism, exploring questions that remain pressing for readers interested in philosophy, theology, religion, and the history of medieval thought.978-1-349-47900-9978-1-137-37746-3

Overview: "Let them come forward, they are thirsty for the sight of a King," said Henri IV to his followerswho were trying to push back the curious crowds as he entered Paris in February, 1594. It is perhaps to be regretted that seven kings (to say nothing of two emperors) have since more than quenched the French‘s taste for royalty, because they have long been in need of - and periodically have sought - a symbol of national unity. Modem-day France has had far more than her share of revolutions, counterrevolutions, uprisings, days, coups, affairs, crises, scandals - and constitution drafting.

Overview: Terrorism, continuing unabated in the contemporary world, is having a serious impact on the lives of people and nations. Once, only govern­ ments and ruling classes possessed the power to coerce large segments of the world‘s peoples. Today, a handful of thugs, covered and concealed by a collection of terrorist organizations, are disturbing people every­ where by perpetrating dramatic criminal acts-bombings, kidnappings, assassinations, etc.-on an almost daily basis, in places specifically cho­ sen for their vulnerability: a railroad train, a pub, a beachfront apartment, a bus, a rest

Overview: Offers state-of-the-art European Union financial regulation with future agenda.Explores macroeconomic consequences of microeconomic incentives.Discusses microeconomic constraints to macroeconomic poli.Financial regulation has dramatically evolved and strengthened since the crisis on both sides of the Atlantic, with enhanced international coordination through the G-20 and the Financial Stability Board and, at the regional level, a definite contribution from the European Union. However the new regulatory environment has its critics, with many divergent voices arguing that over-regulati

Overview: Recent advances in the field of fracture of engineering materials and structures have increasingly indicated its multidisciplinary nature. This area of research now involves scientists and engineers who work in materials science, applied mathematics and mechanics, and also computer scientists. The present volume, which contains the Proceedings of the Joint FEFG/lCF International Conference on Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures held in Singapore from the 6th to 8th of August 1991, is a testimony of this multidisciplinary nature. This International Conference was the Seco
