Overview: Examines the effects of fiscal decentralization reforms on local government efficiency in CEE countries.Applies econometric methods and regression models.Offers a comparative perspectiveThis book examines the impacts of fiscal decentralization reforms on the efficiency of local governments in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. By offering a comparative perspective and by applying econometric methods and regression models, it analyses various reform trajectories and their effects on individual CEE countries. Furthermore, the book discusses input and output indicators for ev

Overview: Hemivariational inequalities represent an important class ofproblems in nonsmooth and nonconvex mechanics. By means of them,problems with nonmonotone, possibly multivalued, constitutive laws canbe formulated, mathematically analyzed and finally numerically solved.The present book gives a rigorous analysis of finite elementapproximation for a class of hemivariational inequalities of ellipticand parabolic type. Finite element models are described and theirconvergence properties are established. Discretized models arenumerically treated as nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems.T

Overview: Atmosphere is seen and dealt with as part of the Earth system (climate models, biogeochemical cycles etc.) Contains solutions with computer models (worked out examples).Computer models are available fThis book originates from the translation of an Italian textbook on the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere. The idea for this earlier effort came to me after I published, in 1989, "L‘ Atmosfera", a popular science book. A few years later I discovered, to my great surprise, that it was adopted as a textbook by a few univer­ sities or university courses. The publication of the book co

Overview: Cosmic electrodynamics is the specific branch of plasma physicswhich studies electromagnetic phenomena -- mostly the role ofelectromagnetic forces in dynamics of highly-conducting compressiblemedium in the solar interior and atmosphere, solar wind, in theEarth‘s magnetosphere and magnetospheres of other planets as well aspulsars and other astrophysical objects. .This textbook is written to be used at several different levels. It isaimed primarily at beginning graduate students who are assumed to havea knowledge of basic physics. Starting from the language of plasmaphysics, from Maxwe

Overview: Fractal geometry has become popular in the last 15 years,its applicationscan be found in technology, science, oreven arts. Fractal methods andformalism are seen today as ageneral, abstract, but nevertheless practical instrument forthe description of nature in a wide sense. But itwasComputer Graphics which made possible the increasingpopularity offractals several years ago, and long aftertheir mathematical formulation.The two disciplines aretightly linked.The book contains the scientificcontributions presentedin an international workshop in the "Computer GraphicsCenter" in Darmstadt,

Overview: Free-radical reactions have been for long time the domain of the physical chemists and the basic chemical industry (polymerization of vinyl monomers, oxidation by molecular oxygen, chlorination of methane etc.), where the use of simple molecules and the possibility of partial conversions without heavy problems of product separations makes less dramatic the aspects of regio and chemoselectivity. As synonym of unselectivity, free radical reactions were considered of poor use in the synthesis of fine chemicals or sophisticated molecules, where a high selectivity is an essential conditio

Overview: Eine Untersuchung über weibliche Gemeinschaften im MilieuvergleichWie funktionieren weibliche Gemeinschaften? Welche Rolle spielt Geschlechtlichkeit für die kollektiven Selbstvorstellungen und -darstellungen sowie die Mikropolitiken, die diese weiblichen Gemeinschaften tragen? Diesen Fragen geht die vorliegende Untersuchung in einer wissenssoziologischen Perspektive nach. Gerade dann, wenn Frauen in Vereinen, Selbsthilfegruppen, Netzwerken oder exklusiven Clubs „unter sich“ sind, spielt das Geschlechterverhältnis eine zentrale identitätsstiftende Rolle. In der vergleichenden Untersuc

Overview: Author includes more than 60 bw illustrations and 15 in color.Each chapter contains comments that provide historical context.This is the first time most of this material has appeared in book form.Incl.Historically, for metric spaces the quest for universal spaces in dimension theory spanned approximately a century of mathematical research. The history breaks naturally into two periods - the classical (separable metric) and the modern (not-necessarily separable metric)..The classical theory is now well documented in several books. This monograph is the first book to unify the modern t

Overview: Provides fresh view on femininities and masculinities.Identifies visual representation as crucial research topic.Offers surprising research results on gender equalityThis book provides a fresh overview on the debate about the remarkable regression of gender equality in the Balkans and South Caucasus caused by the fall of socialism and by the revitalization of religion in Turkey. Contrary to the prevailing opinion of researchers who state continuous male domination, the book presents strong arguments for an alternative outlook. By contrasting the realia of gender relations with the ut
