Overview: During the last decade, forest decline has become increasingly apparent. The decline in forest health was often reported to be associated with air pollution. The present study on Norway spruce stands in the Fichtelgebirge analyses various processes interacting within forest ecosystems. It covers transport and deposition of air pollutants, the direct effects of pollutants on above-ground plant parts, the responses of soil to acid rain, and the changing nutrient availability, and the accompanying effects on plant metabolism and growth. The role of fungi, microorganisms and soil animals

Overview: Selbständige Unternehmerinnen standen zwar in letzter Zeit immer wieder im Zentrum des Interesses der Medien, dennoch mangelt es an verläßlichem Wissen über die Person der Unternehmerin, ihre sozioökonomischen Voraussetzungen, ihr Gründungsverhalten und ihren unternehmerischen Erfolg. Thomas Döbler legt eine empirische Untersuchung über Unternehmerinnen und die von ihnen gegründeten und geleiteten Unternehmen vor. Ausgangspunkt ist die These, daß zentrale gründungs- und unternehmensrelevante Ressourcen - z. B. Führungserfahrungen, branchenspezifisches Know-how, der Zugang zu gründung

Overview: "Foundations of Intelligent Systems" presents selected papers from the 2013 International Conference on Intelligent Systems and Knowledge Engineering (ISKE2013). The aim of this conference is to bring together experts from different expertise areas to discuss the state-of-the-art in Intelligent Systems and Knowledge Engineering, and to present new research results and perspectives on future development. The topics in this volume include, but not limited to: Artificial Intelligence Theories, Pattern Recognition, Intelligent System Models, Speech Recognition, Computer Vision, Multi-Age

Overview: The objective of this book is to collect in a single volume the essentials of stochastic networks, from the classical product-form theory to the more re­ cent developments such as diffusion and fluid limits, stochastic comparisons, stability, control (dynamic scheduling) and optimization. The selection of materials inevitably is a reflection upon our bias and preference, but it is also driven to a large extent by our desire to provide a graduate-level text that is well balanced in breadth and depth, suitable for the classroom. Given the wide-ranging applications of stochastic network

Overview: Provides the background and biography on François Arago, a dominant figure of French physics and astronomy in the first half of the 19th century, and the one whom many consider to be the first astrophFrançois Arago, the first to show in 1810 that the surface of the Sun and stars is made of incandescent gas and not solid or liquid, was a prominent physicist of the 19th century. He used his considerable influence to help Fresnel, Ampere and others develop their ideas and make themselves known. This book covers his personal contributions to physics, astronomy, geodesy and oceanography,

Overview: Uses formal methods to develop Network-centric Real-time Operating Systems.Unified Semantics provides a solid base for model driven systems development and can be tuned to an application-specific, con.Many systems, devices and appliances used routinely in everyday life, ranging from cell phones to cars, contain significant amounts of software that is not directly visible to the user and is therefore called "embedded". For coordinating the various software components and allowing them to communicate with each other, support software is needed, called an operating system (OS). Because

Overview: Bei Freileitungen hat sich in den letzten Jahren ein vielfältiger Wandel vollzogen, der bisher in der Literatur noch nicht zusammenfassend dokumentiert ist. So wurden die einschlägigen Normen und Vorschriften völlig neu gestaltet und die SI-Einheiten eingeführt. Die Möglichkeiten der Datenverarbeitung haben sich erweitert und können zunehmend für die Optimierung genutzt werden. Bei Lastannahmen für Tragwerke, bei Leiterschwingungen, bei der Ausführung der Leiter, der Armaturen und der Isolatoren liegen neue Erkenntnisse vor, neue Bauformen wurden geschaffen. Die Methoden der Montage

Overview: This volume presents the latest ideas and developments in the world of beam diagnostics in particle accelerators and storage rings. It brings together papers by internationally recognized experts and by the younger scientists in the field. The lectures treat three main themes: - Phenomena used in beam observation - Single particle parameters - Collective parameters Each theme is introduced by one or more general lectures followed by detailed lectures on specific topics such as Schottky noise, closed orbits and impedance measurements. The overall aim was to show how to observe the div

Overview: Fags, Hags and Queer Sisters is a provocative account of the importance of women and cross-gender identification in gay male culture.

Overview: Authoritative yet accessible coverage of the fundamentals of distributed robotic systems.Provides readers with a framework and launch pad for further research.Familiarizes students with concrete robot.This brief describes the coordinated control of groups of robots using only sensory input – and no direct external commands. Furthermore, each robot employs the same local strategy, i.e., there are no leaders, and the text also deals with decentralized control, allowing for cases in which no single robot can sense all the others..One can get intuition for the problem from the natural wo

Overview: When seen from an outsider‘s vantage point, the development of knowledge in the sensory sciences must appear massive and the result of some carefully followed master plan. In reality, it is the result of numerous relatively independent human endeavors shaped by application of the scientific method. The comprehensive construction of quantitative theories of sense organ function has occurred only recently -but at an explosive rate prefaced by centuries of expansion in the physical sciences. Predicated on this growth, the twentieth century may become known as the age of the biological s
