Overview: Boeing‘s 737 is indisputably the most popular and arguably the safest commercial airliner in the world. But the plane had a lethal flaw, and only after several disastrous crashes and years of painstaking investigation was the mystery of its rudder failure solved. This book tells the story of how engineers and scientists finally uncovered the defect that had been engineered into the plane.978-1-4419-2923-5978-1-4757-5237-3

Overview: I have written this book because I felt there was a need to bring together in one place the vast amount of research that has been published in the past 10 years concerning alcohol‘s effects on the conceptus. My hope is that this book will be of value to the many clinicians, basic research scientists, social workers, and others who are interested in this important issue. The number of such publications continues to grow each year, and it was a very difficult task to review even a proportion of them completely. While I have cited many of these research studies, only those that in my ve

Overview: Novel research results in the emerging area of fuzzy rule based networks.Written by leading experts in this field State-of-the-Art bookThis book introduces the novel concept of a fuzzy network whose nodes are rule bases and the connections between the nodes are the interactions between the rule bases in the form of outputs fed as inputs. The concept is presented as a systematic study for improving the feasibility and transparency of fuzzy models by means of modular rule bases whereby the model accuracy and efficiency can be optimised in a flexible way. The study uses an effective app

Overview: Dieses Sammelwerk gibt neben einer Einführung in die makroskopische Anatomie der Regenbogenforelle eine detaillierte Beschreibung der Histologie der einzelnen Organe bzw. Organsysteme dieses in Europa weit verbreiteten Aquakulturfisches. Jedem Organsystem ist ein allgemeiner einführender Text vorangestellt; die einzelnen Abbildungen werden zusätzlich erläutert. Gerade im Hinblick auf die ständig wachsende Zahl von Fischerkrankungen ist die Dokumentation der Histologie gesunder Forellen ein wertvolles Nachschlagewerk. Die "Lose-Blatt-Form" erlaubt eine bequeme Verwendung am Arbeitspla

Overview: Offers fresh insight into how migrants maintain and construct transnational connections.Covers a broad range of regional contexts, migration pathways, and diverse groups of migrants, including low-skiThis book takes food parcels as a vehicle for exploring relationships, intimacy, care, consumption, exchange, and other fundamental anthropological concerns, examining them in relation to wider transnational spaces. As the contributors to this volume argue, food and its related practices offer a window through which to examine the reconciliation of people’s localised intimate experiences

Overview: Aktuelle sozialwissenschaftliche Beiträge.Includes supplementary material: Das Frankreichjahrbuch 2014 vereint praktische Erfahrungen, empirische Forschung und Überlegungen zu einer Konzeptgeschichte der „Zivilgesellschaft“. Die Beiträge bieten in vergleichender Perspektive Untersuchungen zur Interessenvertretung im Wirtschaftssektor, zu sozialem Kapital und sozialem Vertrauen, sowie zur veränderten Rolle zivilgesellschaftlicher Akteure im Wohlfahrtsstaat. Der Band verdeutlicht, dass „Zivilgesellschaft“ Konjunktur hat, aber gleichsam wachsen Zweifel am politischen Nutzen dieses Konze

Overview: Recent theoretical work in Learning Classifier Systems (LCS).Presents a coherent framework of LCS.Includes a relevant historical original work by John Holland.Includes supplementary material: .This volume brings together recent theoretical work in Learning Classifier Systems (LCS), which is a Machine Learning technique combining Genetic Algorithms and Reinforcement Learning. It includes self-contained background chapters on related fields (reinforcement learning and evolutionary computation) tailored for a classifier systems audience and written by acknowledged authorities in their a

Overview: Study in the field of economic science.Includes supplementary material: .Previous research focused either on the relationship between strategic planning and performance or coordination mechanisms and performance. Therefore, a conceptually and empirically validated understanding of the interaction between these three factors is limited. This study addresses this gap in the literature by delivering three contributions to theory and empirical research: firstly, by clarifying and proposing the influences of strategic planning and strategic organization on the performance; secondly, by de
