Overview: Presents and discusses elected examples in different applied fields, such as microelectronics, fusion, and aerospace.Provides detailed descriptions of the state-to-state kinetic approach for benchmark.Describing non-equilibrium "cold" plasmas through a chemical physics approach, this book uses the state-to-state plasma kinetics, which considers each internal state as a new species with its own cross sections. Extended atomic and molecular master equations are coupled with Boltzmann and Monte Carlo methods to solve the electron energy distribution function. Selected examples in differ

Overview: This book provides an up-to-date introduction to the theory of sound propagation in the ocean. The text treats both ray and wave propagation and pays considerable attention to stochastic problems such as the scattering of sound at rough surfaces and random inhomogeneities. An introductory chapter that discusses the basic experimental data complements the following theoretical chapters. .New material has been added throughout for this third edition. New topics covered include: .- inter-thermocline lenses and their effect on sound fields.- weakly divergent bundles of rays .- ocean acou

The conference is the seventh in the series of the FCT conferences initiated in 1977 in Poznan-Kornik, Poland. The papers collected in this volume are the texts of invited contributions and shorter communications falling into one of the following sections: - Efficient Computation by Abstract Devices: Automata, Computability, Probabilistic Computations, Parallel and Distributed Computing; - Logics and Meanings of Programs: Algebraic and Categorica

Overview: This book contains the papers presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute held at Geilo, Norway, 11th - 20th April 1975. The institute was the third in a row devoted to phase transitions. The previous two dealt with 2nd- and 1st-order transitions in equilibrium systems and the proceedings have been published.i~ In order to make an overlap wi th those institutes, the first part of this institute was devoted to 1st -or der transitions with an emphasis on the problems of metast abi l i t y and instability en­ countered i n spinodal decomposition, nucleation etc. The main topic was, h

The chapters cover various aspects of a broad-based proficiency initiative, focusing on numerous aspects of foreign language learning, including how skills develop, how assessments can

Overview: Systematisches, fundiertes, auf fortgeschrittenen Methoden aufbauendes zweibändiges Werk.Beschreibt das ganze Spektrum der Anwendung von FEM.Enthält Übungen und Lösungen in jedem Kapitel.Band 2 behandDieses zweibändige Lehrwerk führt systematisch und fundiert in die Finite-Element-Methoden für die Kontinuumsmechanik ein. Es geht damit weit über das traditionelle Anwendungsgebiet innerhalb der Strukturmechanik hinaus und zeigt auf, wie analytisch nicht oder nur unbefriedigend behandelbare Probleme innerhalb der Elasto-, Plasto- und Kriechmechanik, der Fluidmechanik, der Wärmeübertragu

Overview: Umfassender, kulturwissenschaftlich fundierter Überblick.Mit Zeittafel, Bibliografie und PersonenregisterDer einflussreichste französische Denker der Gegenwart. Foucaults Werk hat nicht nur die Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaften entscheidend beeinflusst. Das Handbuch gibt einen systematischen Überblick über Foucaults Leben und Werk. Es stellt die Kontexte dar, aus denen heraus seine Werke entstanden sind und erklärt Grundbegriffe des Foucault schen Denkens wie Archiv , Biopolitik , Diskurs , Dispositiv Genealogie , Körper und Macht . Mit einem umfangreichen Kapitel zur Rezeption in den

Overview: First monograph in this area in more than two decades.Most of the material has not yet been published in book form, particularly the part devoted to the enriched structures.Suitable for advanced cours.Until the mid-twentieth century, topological studies were focused on the theory of suitable structures on sets of points. The concept of open set exploited since the twenties offered an expression of the geometric intuition of a "realistic" place (spot, grain) of non-trivial extent..Imitating the behaviour of open sets and their relations  led to a new approach to topology flourishing s

Overview: Finanzierungsgrundlagen von Gründungs- und Wachstumsunternehmen in Theorie und PraxisDie Finanzierung von Wachstumsunternehmen stellt eine besondere betriebswirtschaftliche Herausforderung dar, da großen Chancen auch höhere Risiken gegenüber stehen als bei etablierten Unternehmen. Insbesondere der Eigenkapitalfinanzierung durch Risikokapitalgeber kommt eine zentrale Bedeutung zu. ..Dieses Buch führt theoretisch fundiert und praxisorientiert zugleich in alle relevanten Fragen der Finanzplanung und Finanzierung von Wachstumsunternehmen ein. Sehr ausführlich gehen Brettel/Rudolf/Witt au

Overview: By the end of his long life, B. F. Skinner (1904-1990) had become one of the most influential and best known of psychologists (Gilgen, 1982; Heyduke & Fenigstein, 1984). An important feature of the approach to the study of behavior that he championed, behavior analysis, is the intensive study of individual subjects over time. This approach, which is characterized by the use of within-subject experimental designs, repeated and direct measures of behavior, and graphic analysis of data, stands in marked contrast to the research methods favored by many nonbehavioral psychologists. Skinne

Overview: Only textbook devoted entirely to Shock Physics of solid materials.Provides a reference and tutorial for an interdisciplinary field with applications ranging from astrophysics and geophysics to materiMy intent in writing this book is to present an introduction to the thermo- chanical theory required to conduct research and pursue applications of shock physics in solid materials. Emphasis is on the range of moderate compression that can be produced by high-velocity impact or detonation of chemical exp- sives and in which elastoplastic responses are observed and simple equations of sta

Overview: Das Buch verknüpft die Studien zur sozialen Ungleichheit im Geschlechterverhältnis der Soziologin Helge Pross (1927-1984) mit den heutigen Fragen der Gender-Debatte. Unter Rückgriff auf die theoretischen Diskurse um die Kategorie "Geschlecht" analysiert die Autorin die von Pross bereits in den 1970er Jahren erhobene zentrale Forderung "Frauenfragen sind Männerfragen" als Forderung des modernen Gender Mainstreaming. Ihr konsequentes Plädoyer, die Benachteiligungen der Frauen nicht als "Frauenfragen" aufzugreifen, sondern in die Verantwortung der gesamten Gesellschaft zu stellen, ordne
