Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the University of Sheffield, UK.Offers an ideal presentation for new PhD student: focused review of the primary literature, results are developed organicallThis work sheds new light on fundamental aspects of phase separation in polymer-blend thin films. A key feature underlying the theoretical models is the unification of one-dimensional thermodynamic phase equilibria with film evolution phenomena in two- and three dimensions. Initially, an established ‘phase portrait‘ method, useful for visualising and calculating phase equilibria of polym

Overview: .Fuzzy Set Theory - And Its Applications, Third Edition. is a textbook for courses in fuzzy set theory. It can also be used as an introduction to the subject. The character of a textbook is balanced with the dynamic nature of the research in the field by including many useful references to develop a deeper understanding among interested readers. .The book updates the research agenda (which has witnessed profound and startling advances since its inception some 30 years ago) with chapters on possibility theory, fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning, expert systems, fuzzy control, fuzzy

Overview: The book is devoted to expanding current views on the phenomena of protein functionality in food systems. Protein functionalities in foods have been the object ofextensive research over the last thirty to forty years and significant progress has been made in understanding the mechanism and factors influencing the functionality of proteins. The functionality of proteins is one of the fastest developing fields in the studies of protein utilization in foods. Currently, a broad spectrum of data related to protein functionality in food systems has been collected, however, much more needs

Overview: Focus on an interdisciplinary exchange between biologists (natural senses) and engineers, physical scientists (artificial sensors).Provides the bridging between research on naturally occurring sensing.Biological sensory systems, fine-tuned to their specific tasks with remarkable perfection, have an enormous potential for technical, industrial, and medical applications. This applies to sensors specialized for a wide range of energy forms such as optical, mechanical, electrical, and magnetic, to name just a few. .This book brings together first-hand knowledge from the frontiers of diff

Overview: Situating public health within its social, environmental and political context, this book looks to the future through a realistic analysis of policy frameworks, effective interventions and robust measurement and evaluation. Using a multidisciplinary perspective it creates a compelling vision for public health policy.978-1-349-28488-7978-0-230-58254-5

Overview: Includes illustrations and clinical case studies.One of few books targeted to sex therapists that focuses solely on female sexual desireThis book represents a broad-based approach to a narrow but complex issue. The issue causes distress for many and has been instrumental in family disruption and divorce. Women’s sexual desire—whether it is too little or too much—has become an issue of growing concern and vague promises for solution. In the meantime, the women are looking for answers, consulting professionals in the field of human sexuality, physicians or therapists, media advice and

Overview: Untersucht die Vorstellung einer formalisierten politischen Uneinigkeit als wahrscheinlichstes Ergebnis.Konzeptualisierung des friedensfördernden Engagements jenseits der Ansätze zur Konfliktlösung.Ve.Die internationale Friedensförderung ist in eine Sackgasse geraten. Ihre hochgesteckten Ziele haben bestenfalls zu einem mittelmäßigen Erfolg geführt, der von Momenten des völligen Scheiterns unterbrochen wurde. Die Diskreditierung des Begriffs "liberale Friedenskonsolidierung" hat dazu geführt, dass er sich weiterentwickelt hat, um auf die zahlreichen Kritiken zu reagieren. Begriffe wi

Overview: ​Ein Desiderat der Verwaltungsforschung betrifft die Frage, welchen Mechanismen politisch-responsives Verhalten unterliegt. Einerseits soll eine normgebundene öffentliche Verwaltung gewährleistet werden, zugleich soll sie die Umsetzung des politischen Willens garantieren. Anhand des Forschungsprojektes erfolgte die Hinwendung zur wissenschaftlich unterrepräsentierten ministeriellen Arbeitsebene. Mithilfe der „Grounded Typology“ ist ein qualitativ-rekonstruktives Verfahren gewählt worden, das einen innovativen Zugang zu funktionaler Politisierung ermöglicht. Anhand theoriegenerierende

Overview: It is with pleasure that I write the foreword to this excellent book. A wide range of observations in geology and solid-earth geophysics can be - plained in terms of fractal distributions. In this volume a collection of - pers considers the fractal behavior of the Earth‘s continental crust. The book begins with an excellent introductory chapter by the editor Dr. V.P. Dimri. Surface gravity anomalies are known to exhibit power-law spectral behavior under a wide range of conditions and scales. This is self-affine fractal behavior. Explanations of this behavior remain controversial. In
