Overview: New Content, New Uses, New Perspectives?This volume provides an original perspective on mobile communication, focusing on the emerging deployment of images in mobile phone usage: photography, video, mobile television, mobile internet, etc. Deeply embedded in our audiovisual culture, images possess the undeniable power to reshape the future of the mobile phone as an “individual mass medium”. In this collection, European researchers in media and communication studies, sociology, anthropology and political science present empirical and conceptual work on a wide range of issues, includin

Overview: Philosophie, das Wagnis, in den unbetretbaren Grund menschlicher Selbstgewißheit zu dringen, müßte als Lehre der für jedermann ein­ sichtigen Wahrheit in die Irre geraten. Zwar kommt es ihr selbst darauf an, zu begreifen, was zwingend wißbar ist; aber sie wiederholt weder, was in den Wissenschaften erkennbar wurde, noch tritt sie mit eigenem Gegenstand und gleichem Anspruch in deren Bereich. Im Philosophieren ist nicht noch einmal die Befriedigung zu erwarten, welche die Sachkunde von Dingen in der Welt gewährt. In ihm wird mehr gesucht und gefordert: Das Denken, das JJJein Seinsbewu

Overview: My impulse when I decided to collect into a single volume the essays on topics in logical theory and related subjects that I have written in the last fifteen years was to borrow from the title of a work by Sextus Empiricus, and call my collection "Against the Logicians." Although the essays address a variety of problems that interest me, the thread that runs through them is a scepticism about how logicians see things. So, the title appealed to me. However, I had second thoughts and chose instead a title of one of my own essays, "In Defense of Informal Logic", which emphasizes my supp

Overview: Einen Migrationshintergrund haben viele: Der Abschied von der Differenz Ausländer-Inländer?In Deutschland ist Bildung ein Schlüsselindikator für Sozialintegration. Dass die Bildung eine essentielle Voraussetzung für den Zugang zu beruflicher Ausbildung und Beschäftigung ist, steht außer Frage. Kinder und Jugendliche mit Migrationshintergrund, die große Nachteile beim Bildungserwerb und Zugang zum Arbeitsmarkt haben, sind in Deutschland kein randständiges Phänomen. Trotz vielfältiger bildungs- und arbeitsmarktpolitischer Bemühungen bestehen immer noch deutliche Ungleichheiten bei Bild

Overview: Information Technology (IT) - the field that linkscomputer and communications equipment and software - istransforming the way modern business is done. Examples of factorsleading these changes are: rapidly decreasing costs of computerhardware, government de-regulation, accelerating globalcompetitiveness, an increasing management awareness, and the knowledgeof how to employ Information Technology successfully. These have allled to the increase of IT‘s effects on existing markets, and, in theprocess, are creating entirely new markets. This book explores avariety of advances in IT by a g

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Welcome to the proceedings of PATMOS 2003. This was the 13th in a series of international workshops held in several locations in Europe. Over the years, PATMOS has gained recognition as one of the major European events devoted to power and timing aspects of integrated circuit and system design. Despite its signi?cant growth and development, PATMOS can still be considered as a very informal forum, featuring high-level scienti?c presentations together with open discussions and panel sessions in a free and relaxed environment. This year, PATMOS took plac

Overview: For the economics profession, issues of marketing and ideology have often been reduced to the status of ‘the love that dare not speak its name‘. This volume brings these issues out of the closet and examines what effect, if any, these factors have in shaping the contours of the discipline. The way in which economists face policy issues is in part driven, even if only subconsciously, by unacknowledged ideological concerns and the increasing need to sell one‘s theories, views and policies in a frustratingly competitive academic market. In seven carefully and provocatively granulated ch

Thoughtfully divided in six sections, th

Overview: Covers the recent research in the area of intelligent manufacturing systems that are related to industry 4.0.Offers topics such as mechatronics, robotics, automation, soft computing techniques, CAD/CAThis book presents the select proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Innovative Product Design and Intelligent Manufacturing System (IPDIMS 2022). It covers the latest trends in the areas of design and manufacturing. The main topics covered include Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, advanced robotics, and CAD/CAM/CIM. The contents of this book are useful for researchers and p

Overview: Teratology is at once among the oldest and youngest of human preoccupations. Coincident with man‘s first observations of the stars were his recordings of human and animal deformities. But, such aberrancies must have occurred even earlier, for although it is one of those things-like evolution-that cannot be proven, it is nevertheless indisputable that dysmorphogenesis must have occurred from the time complex forms of life first arose on our planet; and that from the beginnings of human awareness our species was conscious of such happenings. From the earliest recordings of this fascina

Overview: Provides a thorough revision of the first edition.Covers important topics in the field of micro systems.Written by an expert in the field.Includes supplementary material: .This book systematically describes the design options for micro systems as well as the equations needed for calculating the behavior of their basic elements. The fundamental equations needed to calculate the effects and forces that are important in micro systems are also provided. Readers do not require previous knowledge of fabrication processes. This second edition of the volume is a thoroughly revised and extend

Overview: In addition to the topics discussed in the First Edition, this Second Edition contains introductory treatments of superconducting materials and of ferromagnetism. I think the book is now more balanced because it is divided perhaps 60% - 40% between devices (of all kinds) and materials (of all kinds). For the physicist interested in solid state applications, I suggest that this ratio is reasonable. I have also rewritten a number of sections in the interest of (hopefully) increased clarity. The aims remain those stated in the Preface to the First Edition; the book is a survey of the ph

Overview: Vaccination, chiefly responsible for the eradication of smallpox and the control of poliomyelitis and German measles in man and of foot-and­ mouth, Marek‘s and Newcastle disease in domestic animals, remains the best answer to infectious diseases. Early vaccines were live wild type organ­ isms but these have been largely replaced by attenuated or killed organisms or by purified components (subunits) thereof. More recently, developments in recombinant DNA techniques, the advent of monoclonal antibodies and progress in our understanding of the immunological structure of proteins, have l

Overview: Deals with a new class of materials, diluted magnetic semiconductors.International top researchers present the state-of-the-art as well as the basics and applications of these materials.A valuable refThe book deals with diluted magnetic semiconductors, a class of materials important to the emerging field of spintronics. In these materials semiconducting properties, both transport and optical, are influenced by the presence of magnetic ions. It concentrates on basic physical mechanisms (e.g. carrier-ion and ion-ion interactions) and resulting phenomena (e.g. magnetic polaron formation

Overview: The subject of scientific visualisation has primarily been covered in compilations of research papers, apart from Brodie‘s seminal work "Scientific Visualization Techniques and Applications" which wasAboutThisBook This book was ?rst suggested to Springer in 2004, though its origins go back to changes made two years earlier to the structure of the University of Hull’s Computer Science programme. At the same time, my own visualization - search was leading towards a systematic view of data and techniques that I felt could be educationally valuable. In 2003 I thus sat down with some trep
