Overview: Expert interviews are today a standard method of qualitative approach in the social sciences. It is surprising that methodological reflections about the expert interview are still lacking. This book gives a comprehensive overview of their theory and practice. The contributors are experienced theorists and practitioners of expert interviews.978-1-349-30575-9978-0-230-24427-6Series ISSN 2947-5201 Series E-ISSN 2947-521X

Overview: Provides a series of key technologies of integrating distributed resources into smart grids.Offers some emerging research points on transactive energy and demand response.Covers almost all aspects of .The proliferation of renewable energy enhances the sustainability of power systems, but the inherent variability also poses great challenges to the planning and operation of large power grids. The corresponding electric power deficiencies can be compensated by fast ramping generators and energy storage devices. However, frequent ramp up/down power adjustments can increase the operation

Overview: The growth of the Internet and the availability of enormous volumes of data in digital form have necessitated intense interest in techniques to assist the user in locating data of interest. The Internet has over 350 million pages of data and is expected to reach over one billion pages by the year 2000. Buried on the Internet are both valuable nuggets to answer questions as well as a large quantity of information the average person does not care about. The Digital Library effort is also progressing, with the goal of migrating from the traditional book environment to a digital library

Overview: The Rolduc Polymer Meetings, of which the contents of this volume represent the third, are already on their way to occupying a unique place in the crowded calendar of symposia on every aspect of polymer science and engineering. They combine manageable meeting size with a theme, ‘Integration of Fundamental Polymer Science and Technology‘, which is often discussed but seldom realized in practice. The technological, or applied, areas of polymers have perhaps received more emphasis historically than those of other allied disciplines. Indeed, various plastic and rubber materials were succ

Overview: The first book available on the interference cancellation using space-time processing and precoding design.Written by a leading scientist in multi-antenna interference cancellation based on space-time.Interference Cancellation Using Space-Time Processing and Precoding Design. introduces original design methods to achieve interference cancellation, low-complexity decoding and full diversity for a series of multi-user systems. In multi-user environments, co-channel interference will diminish the performance of wireless communications systems. In this book, we investigate how to design

It challenges the technocratic, results-based management frameworks used by aid organizations and reports of official donors operating in the country context, and offers a qualitative and critical assess

Overview: Provides a comprehensive overview of inflammatory diseases of the brain from a neuroradiological point of view..Discusses differential diagnostic aspects in detail..Provides important clinical and epi.This book provides a comprehensive overview of inflammatory brain diseases from a neuroradiological point of view. Such diseases may be either infectious (e.g., viral encephalitis and pyogenic brain abscess) or non-infectious (e.g., multiple sclerosis), and many of these entities are becoming increasingly important for differential diagnosis, particularly in immunocompromised persons. N

Overview: Interferons were among the first cytokines to be studied clinically in recombinant form in the 1980s, beginning a new era of pharmacotherapy in internal medicine. Interferons were soon employed in the treatment of tumors and it was shown that those hematopoietic neoplasias which had been difficult to treat with chemotherapy responded well to interferon treatment. In the present volume, renowned international authors update the importance of interferons in various fields of internal medicine, dermatology, and urology. The book also contains a general introduction into the classificati

Overview: This volume includes the papers presented at the 24th International Conference on Information Integration and Web Intelligence (iiWAS 2022), organized in conjunction with 24th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia Intelligence (MoMM2022)..​The dominant research focus of submitted papers was artificial intelligence and machine learning. The accepted papers presented advances and innovations in an array of areas such as internet of things, virtual and augmented reality, various business applications. iiWAS 2022 attracted 97 papers, from which the Program

Overview: The new welfare settlement in Europe involves a re-direction of policy in the context of a unified market and currency system and of more stringent economic competition. Realignment of the policy assumptions and goals of the key actors is central to this process. This book reviews the main policy paradigms and analyzes the processes whereby they have changed in the most salient policy areas, and is based on recent interviews with more than two hundred and fifty senior policy actors in seven West European countries.978-0-230-28601-6
