Overview: Is beautifully written, concise, but thorough, interesting, and thought-provoking.Gives a unique account of the Fermi paradox and its possible solutions.Provides extensive information about sources an.Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 billion stars in our Galaxy alone, and perhaps 400 billion galaxies in the Universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14-billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. The sheer enormity of the numbers almost demands that we accept the truth of this hypothesis. Why, then, have we

Overview: Praxisorientierung: Anschauliche Aufbereitung des Praxisleitfadens für Praktiker mit leicht verständlichen Informationen, Methoden, Checklisten, weiterführender Literatur und von Internetlinks zu den Im Themenfeld der Kontraktlogistik wurde bislang noch keine grundlegende wissenschaftliche Analyse vorgenommen. Zudem besteht in diesem Bereich eine große Diskrepanz zwischen der betrieblichen Praxis und dem wissenschaftlichen Diskurs. Das Buch arbeitet daher dieses Themenfeld wissenschaftlich auf und überführt die Ergebnisse in einen praxisorientierten Internationalisierungsleitfaden. E

Overview: Provides a new account of justified inference as a cognitive process.In contrast to the prevailing tradition in epistemology, the focus in this book is on low-level inferences, i.e., those inferences that we are usually not consciously aware of and that we share with the cat nearby which infers that the bird which she sees picking grains from the dirt, is able to fly. Presumably, such inferences are not generated by explicit logical reasoning, but logical methods can be used to describe and analyze such inferences. ..Part 1 gives a purely system-theoretic explication of belief and in

Overview: Writing documentation is an integral part of any technical product development. A significant amount of time is spent describing the product functionality, giving insights into technical details, providing maintenance instructions, specifying marketing information, writing user manuals, etc. As the creation of such documentation is generally a source of higher production costs, many large companies are realising the need to increase the efficiency of documentation handling. Simple documents consisting of only a few pages can be developed on simple systems. Basic components of such sy

Overview: Brings together current research on infant feeding beliefs and practices around the world.Uniquely written from a cross-cultural perspective.Makes recommendations for the provision of health and sociaIt’s natural...

Infant Feeding Practices is the first book to delve into these factors from a global perspective, revealing striking similarities and differences from country to country.Dispat

Overview: In this volume nonlinear systems related to integrable systems are studied. Lectures cover such topics as the application of integrable systems to the description of natural phenomena, the elaboration of perturbation theories, and the statistical mechanics of ensembles of objects obeying integrable equations. The more physical lectures center largely around the three paradigmatic equations: Korteweg de Vries, Sine-Gordon and Nonlinear Schrödinger, especially the latter. These have long been of great mathematical interest, and also exhibit a "universality" which places them among the

Overview: Integrates semiotics into the theoretical framework of cybernetics and information theory.Describes intermediate and variant concepts including biosemiotics and Cybersemiotic Discourse Pragmatics.Disc.This book traces the origins and evolution of cybersemiotics, beginning with the integration of semiotics into the theoretical framework of cybernetics and information theory. The book opens with chapters that situate the roots of cybersemiotics in Peircean semiotics, describe the advent of the Information Age and cybernetics, and lay out the proposition that notions of system, communic

Overview: Details several different aspects of the cochlear inflammatory process.Discusses recent clinical trials focusing on the use of anti-inflammatory agents for the treatment of drug, noise-induced and aut. Common forms of preventable hearing loss are drug and noise-induced hearing loss which are believed to be produced by a similar mechanism. The generation of reactive oxygen species appears to be a common mechanism mediating hearing loss produced by these different sources.  As such, a number of laboratories have focused their research towards identifying the sources of ROS production i

Overview: This book is an edited version of part of the teaching text used for the Open University‘s undergraduate course ‘T283 Introductory Electronics‘, first presented in 1980. The original text was pro­ duced by a course team of nine authors and nine support staff. The team was also responsible for student experimental kits, television and radio programmes. The approach adopted by the course team was to try and teach, where possible, through specification of the problem rather than through discussion of the operation of a selection of available devices and components; since this leads more
