Overview: Dominik Gerstner beschäftigt sich mit der Bedeutung von Gleichaltrigen bzw. Peer-Beziehungen für die Entstehung und Bewertung von abweichendem Verhalten im Jugendalter und damit mit einem klassischen Thema der Kriminalsoziologie. Durch die Anwendung innovativer Theorien – wie z.B. der Situational Action Theory – und dem methodischen Ansatz der Netzwerkanalyse werden dieser Thematik neue Impulse gegeben. Im Zentrum der vorliegenden Arbeit stehen Analysen quantitativer Daten, in denen Einflüsse der Freunde in der Schulklasse auf das delinquente Verhalten von Jugendlichen sowie die Bede

Overview: Discusses the latest research on fractional-order modeling and control, one of the most active current research areas in mathematical modeling and control.Uses the modern mathematical tool of fraction.This book addresses the topic of fractional-order modeling of nuclear reactors. Approaching neutron transport in the reactor core as anomalous diffusion, specifically subdiffusion, it starts with the development of fractional-order neutron telegraph equations. Using a systematic approach, the book then examines the development and analysis of various fractional-order models representing

The IBN is the beginning of a new era in the history of networking, where the network itself translates business intentions into appropriate network configurations for all devices. This minimizes manual

Overview: Explores the diversities and complexities of women’s experiences in higher education and women’s hidden and suppressed narratives relating to their experiences in academia.Works to contextualize the mThis edited volume explores the diversities and complexities of women’s experiences in higher education. Its emphasis on personal narratives provides a forum for topics not typically found in in print, such as mental illness, marital difficulties, and gender identity. The intersectional narratives afford typically disenfranchised women opportunities to share experiences in ways that de-c

Overview: Theoretical physics has become a many-faceted science. For the young stu­ dent it is difficult enough to cope with the overwhelming amount of new scientific material that has to be learned, let alone obtain an overview of the entire field, which ranges from mechanics through electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, field theory, nuclear and heavy-ion science, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, and solid-state theory to elementary-particle physics. And this knowledge should be acquired in just 8-10 semesters, during which, in addition, a Diploma or Master‘s thesis has to be worked on o

Overview: Provides a comprehensive review of novel approaches to functional imaging of the chest.Written by experts of international repute.Includes many detailed and informative illustrations.For a long time, imaging of the chest was based on the use of either radiography, demonstrating lung morphology, or scintigraphy, looking at lung function. However, as a result of recent developments in CT and MRI technology it is now possible to perform dedicated investigations of different aspects of lung function, such as ventilation, perfusion, gas exchange, and respiratory mechanics. This volume, wr

Overview: Offers a detailed, step-by-step overview of historical flood analysis, from original sources to reconstruction values.Includes exceptionally high-quality, contemporary and legal-administrative sources.The book provides an overview of the floods and major hydrological changes that occurred in the medieval Hungarian kingdom (covering the majority of the Carpathian Basin) between 1000 and 1500 AD.

Overview: Im Vergleich zu anderen Beschaffungsformen sind langfristige Verträge mit Festpreischarakter in der Regel deutlich weniger flexibel. Um auf Veränderungen in der Umwelt während der Vertragslaufzeit reagieren zu können, sind meist Nachverhandlungen erforderlich. Jirka Gehrt untersucht vertragliche Regelungen in Privat-Partnership-Projekten, welche darauf abzielen, aus Sicht des Auftraggebers eine angemessene Flexibilität zu erhalten. Auf Basis theoretischer Überlegungen und Interviews mit Experten bewertet er in der Praxis genutzte Vertragsregeln und entwickelt Optimierungsvorschläge.9

Overview: In the theory of functional differential equations with infinite delay, there are several ways to choose the space of initial functions (phase space); and diverse (duplicated) theories arise, according to the choice of phase space. To unify the theories, an axiomatic approach has been taken since the 1960‘s. This book is intended as a guide for the axiomatic approach to the theory of equations with infinite delay and a culmination of the results obtained in this way. It can also be used as a textbook for a graduate course. The prerequisite knowledge is foundations of analysis includi

Overview: Edward Gibbon‘s allegation at the beginning of his Essay on the Study of Literature (1764) that the history of empires is that of the miseries of humankind whereas the history of the sciences is that of their splendour and happiness has for a long time been accepted by professional scientists and by historians of science alike. For its practitioner, the history of a discipline displayed above all the always difficult but fmally rewarding approach to a truth which was incorporated in the discipline in its actual fonn. Looking back, it was only too easy to distinguish those who erred a
