Overview: Zur Praxis der FragebogenerstellungLiebe Leserin, lieber Leser, das vorliegende Buch ist ein „Praxisbuch“ im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Als 1 ich es begonnen habe, konnte ich bei ZUMA auf eine zwanzigjährige Be- tungspraxis mit dem Schwerpunkt „Fragebogenberatung“ zurückblicken, in deren Verlauf ich – über den Daumen gepeilt – etwa 2.500 Fragebogen beraten, mitentwickelt oder entwickelt habe. Ob das für Deutschland einzigartig ist, weiß ich nicht, aber eine gewisse Erfahrung im Bereich von Fragebogen kann man mir sicherlich nicht absprechen. Möglicherweise war diese lange währende Be

Overview: Most of today‘s familiar fairy tales come from the stories of Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christian Andersen, but this innovative study encourages us to explore the marvelous tales of authors from the early modern period Giovanni Straparola, Giambattista Basile, Madame Marie-Catherine D‘Aulnoy, and others whose works enrich and expand the canon. As author Jo Eldridge Carney shows, the queen is omnipresent in these stories, as much a hallmark of the genre as other familiar characteristics such as the number three, magical objects, and happy endings. That queens occu

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .The ability to remember an antigenic encounter for several decades, even for a life time, is one of the fundamental properties of the immune system. This phenomenon known as "immunological memory", is the foundation upon which the concept if vaccination rests. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms by which immunological memory is regulated is of paramount importance. Recent advances in immunology, particularly in the field of innate immunity, suggest that the innate immune system plays fundamental roles in influencing immunological memory. Indeed,

Overview: Faba beans, formerly known as broad beans, are among the oldest crops in the world. It has in fact been claimed with some justification that the Pyramids were built on faba beans! They are today a major crop in many countries such as China, Egypt and the Sudan; and are widely grown for human food throughout the Me~iterranean region, in Ethiopia and in parts of Latin America. In recent years there has been a growing interest in faba bean production as a protein source for stock feed in parts of Europe, North America and Aus· tralia. The publication served by this preface arose from th

Overview: Thoroughly updated.Several new and re-organized sections.Every food science student must take a food engineering class.While continuing the tradition of expansive coverage, Fundamentals of Food Process Engineering, Fourth Edition, has been updated and revised.  The new edition of this classic text emphasizes problem solving, including technological principles that form the basis for a process so that the process can be better understood and the selection of processing parameters to maximize product quality and safety can be made more effective.  In addition, the book contains new, ha

Overview: Prüfungsvorbereitung FachkundeDas Buch ist, vom Titel her, vor allem an Prüflinge gerichtet. Doch wie ich weiß, wird es auch gerne von denen gelesen, die sich nach langer Zeit der Abstinenz wieder in die Materie einarbeiten wollen, für die permanentes Lernen im Beruf selbstverständlich ist, und von denen, die sich ganz einfach mit diesem Buch auf den neuesten Stand bringen wollen. Der neueste Stan- das sind die Änderungen, die durch die Beschleunigungsnovelle vom 30. März 2000 (BGBI. I vom 7. April 2000) zum Verzug und seinen Folgen eingeführt worden sind.

Overview: .Feedback Ramp Metering in Intelligent Transportation Systems. is the first book on the topic of using feedback control (also called real-time traffic control or adaptive control by some traffic engineers) in ramp metering. It provides traffic theory fundamentals and then the design of feedback controllers for isolated and coordinated ramp metering problems. Software simulation code in Matlab and Paramics is provided in the book so that the reader can get a hands-on feel for the various algorithms. With a large number of examples, illustrations, and original problems, this book is ex

Overview: Two-fluid dynamics is a challenging subject rich in physics and prac­ tical applications. Many of the most interesting problems are tied to the loss of stability which is realized in preferential positioning and shaping of the interface, so that interfacial stability is a major player in this drama. Typically, solutions of equations governing the dynamics of two fluids are not uniquely determined by the boundary data and different configurations of flow are compatible with the same data. This is one reason why stability studies are important; we need to know which of the possible sol

Overview: When Mexico‘s peso crisis occurred in December 1994, all of Latin America experienced the ‘tequila effect‘. In January 1998, after seven months of financial turmoil in East Asia, Alan Greenspan, the usually reticent Chairman of the US Federal Reserve Bank, noted that such ‘vicious cycles...may, in fact, be a defining characteristic of the new high-tech international financial system‘. This book examines the impact of the new, highly liquid portfolio capital flows on governments, opposition, politicians, business and the workforce in such emerging market countries as Mexico, Brazil, R
