Overview: Subnational comparative research on state capacityMarco Just Quiles offers new perspectives on how domestic and external factors interact to shape variations in local state capacity. Using Bolivia as a case, he applies quantitative and qualitative methods to decode the nexus between global interdependencies, subnational bargaining processes, and diverging configurations of public service provision at the local level. Relying in part on newly compiled indicators, the author presents the ways in which shifting distributional coalitions between regional elites, central governments and t

Overview: Das vorliegende Buch behandelt die Berechnung von Flächentrag­ werken. Es sind dies dünnwandige, nach Flächen geformte Traggebilde. Ihre Mittelfläche - jene Fläche, die an jeder Stelle die Dicke halbier- kann eben sein, sie kann einfach oder doppelt gekrümmt sein, und sie kann aus ebenen und gekrümmten Teilflächen zusammengesetzt sein. Ein ebener Flächenträger, der nur durch Kräfte belastet ist, die in seiner Ebene wirken, wird Scheibe genannt. Greifen auch (oder ausschließlich) quer zur Mittelebene gerichtete Kräfte an, dann wird der ebene Flächen­ träger als Platte bezeichnet. Ist

Overview: In 1873, John Stuart Stuart-Glennie elaborated a theory of ‘the moral revolution‘ to characterize the historical shift from roughly 600 BCE in a variety of civilizations, as part of a critical theory of history. This book brings light to the now eclipsed theory and offers new contexts and understandings of the phenomenon.978-1-137-47350-9

Overview: This book serves as a practical guide to simulation of 3D deformable solids using the Finite Element Method (FEM). It reviews a number of topics related to the theory and implementation of FEM approaches: measures of deformation, constitutive laws of nonlinear materials, tetrahedral discretizations, and model reduction techniques for real-time simulation. Simulations of deformable solids are important in many applications in computer graphics, including film special effects, computer games, and virtual surgery. The Finite Element Method has become a popular tool in many such applicat

Overview: Fibrinkleber werden seit Jahrzehnten erfolgreich in der Wundheilung und in der Nervenklebung angewandt und finden einen breiten Einsatz in allen Gebieten der Chirurgie. Es ist Anliegen der vorliegenden Monographie, das Indikationsspektrum für den Einsatz des Fibrinklebers insbesondere in der Thorax- und Kardiovaskularchirurgie zu beleuchten.978-3-642-72504-3978-3-642-72503-6

Overview: ICSR is the premier international conference in the ?eld of software reuse. The main goal of ICSR is to present the advances and improvements within the software reuse domain, as well as to promote interaction between researchers and practitioners. The 11th International Conference on Software Reuse (ICSR 2009) was held during September 27–30, 2009 in Falls Church, VA, USA. 2009 was the year that ICSR went back to its roots. The theme was “Formal Foundations of Reuse and Domain Engineering.” We explored the theory and formal foundations that underlie current reuse and domain engineer

Overview: Provides a comprehensive description of flow patterns during the phase change process for boiling and condensation in conventional and micro scale channels.Discusses changes of trends of experimental This book covers aspects of multiphase flow and heat transfer during phase change processes, focusing on boiling and condensation in microscale channels. The authors present up-to-date predictive methods for flow pattern, void fraction, pressure drop, heat transfer coefficient and critical heat flux, pointing out the range of operational conditions that each method is valid. The first fo

It discusses practices such as tr

Overview: Volume II focuses on the state-of-the-art technologies and applications of various types of sensors. It presents different analyzers and their operational parameters in many areas of practical use. Moreover, aspects of the marketability of biosensors are covered in the context of established conventional analytical techniques as well as under consideration of the needs, habits and beliefs of consumers. A picture thus emerges of how applications can be expanded in the future and novel markets can be opened up.978-3-0348-9884-3978-3-0348-9045-8Series ISSN 1664-431X Series E-ISSN 2504-3
