Overview: Compares fertility trends and levels across 10 economically advanced countries in Europe and Asia.Describes how these countries’ institutions, culture, and history shape fertility levels and patterns..This volume examines ten economically advanced countries in Europe and Asia that have experienced different levels of fertility decline. It offers readers a cross-country perspective on the causes and consequences of low birth rates and the different policy responses to this worrying trend..The countries examined are not only diverse geographically, historically, and culturally, but als

Overview: In Lipoprotein Protocols, Jose Ordovas compiles a cutting-edge collection of molecular protein techniques for studying advanced aspects of lipoprotein structure and metabolism. These step-by-step methods allow both the beginning and the advanced researcher to carry out not only fundamental, but also the most advanced genetic screening techniques, including RT-PCRand the preparation of relevant models of transgenic and knockout mice. In addition, novel techniques are presented to characterize plasma lipoproteins, their subfractions, and their modifications, and to determine the activi

Overview: Publication in the field of technical sciences?.Includes supplementary material: .This thesis is devoted to the study of the basic equations of fluid dynamics. First Matthias Köhne focuses on the derivation of a class of boundary conditions, which is based on energy estimates, and, thus, leads to physically relevant conditions. The derived class thereby contains many prominent artificial boundary conditions, which have proved to be suitable for direct numerical simulations involving artificial boundaries. The second part is devoted to the development of a complete Lp-theory for the r

Overview: The aim of this book is to give a systematic study of questions con­ cerning existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions of linear partial differential equations and boundary problems. Let us note explicitly that this program does not contain such topics as eigenfunction expan­ sions, although we do give the main facts concerning differential operators which are required for their study. The restriction to linear equations also means that the trouble of achieving minimal assumptions concerning the smoothness of the coefficients of the differential equations studied would not be

Overview: Scientifically reports the way the contemporary dance sector in Europe operates.Exposes the contradicting mechanisms related to the project-oriented labour and art market.Engages with precarity as a s.This transdisciplinary study scientifically reports the way the established contemporary dance sector in Europe operates from a micro-perspective. It provides a dance scholarly and sociological interpretation of its mechanisms by coupling qualitative data (interview material, observations, logbooks, and dance performances) to theoretical insights. The book uncovers the sometimes contrad

Overview: Provides a linguistic ethnography of institutional texts in a multilingual call center.Explores key issues in the contemporary workplace including conditions of employment, recruitment, standardizatioThis book presents an innovative institutional transpositional ethnography that examines the textual trajectory of “the life of a calling script” from production by corporate management and clients to recontextualization by middle management and finally to application by agents in phone interactions. Drawing on an extensive original research it provides a behind-the-scenes view of a mult

Overview: Provides an insight into the physical and chemical features of the Dal and Anchar lakes.Offers a unique study of the water bodies of Kashmir.Highlights the effect of environmental features on planktonThis book highlights the anthropogenic pressures on the fresh water bodies and in particular, the Dal and Anchar Lake. As a result of climate change and global warming there is a likelihood that the glaciers which feed these water bodies may be lost..The lakes discussed in this volume can prove a vital source of information on water and biodiversity as well as the environmental features.

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Learning and Optimization, LION 9, which was held in Lille, France, in January 2015..The 31 contributions presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in this book. The papers address all fields between machine learning, artificial intelligence, mathematical programming and algorithms for hard optimization problems. Special focus is given to algorithm selection and configuration, learning, fitness landscape, applications, d

Overview: Shows the latest developments and success factors in logistics management.Provides statistical and empirical data and surveys up to date.Provides current approaches and trends.Based on the drivers of the development of logistics, the success factors of logistics management in excellent companies are analyzed. Logistics management in and between companies requires a change in thinking on the operational as well as on the strategic and normative level of action. The functions of logistics management are explained in detail and discussed with regard to their design. The explanations are

Overview: Explores the varieties of crisis and addresses the paradox of performing apparently enduring operations at a specified time.Expands on deliberations about Limbo, using it as a counterbalance to the co.The observation that our world is signed by a lasting crisis is as much underwritten as it is questioned. This book offers a new and provocative thesis by taking recourse to the religious discourse of Limbo, and by investigating the temporal and spatial structures of crisis and modernity. Modernity reveals itself to be the state of perennial crisis, and we all live in an immanentized st

Overview: Presents in-depth insights from academic and industry leaders in the field.Describes analyses on real-world datasets from the military, government and academia.Provides the first extensive review of tThistimely and authoritative volume explores the bidirectional relationship betweenimages and locations.

Overview: Only book which comprehensively reconstructs/conceptualises and theorises claims to know the lessons from past wrongdoing.Draws on modes of analysis and interpretation rarely used in the field of sociThis book reconstructs how claims to know ‘the lessons’ from past wrongdoings are made useful in the present. These claims are powerful tools in contemporary debates over who we are, who we want to be and what we should do. Drawing on a wide range of spoken and written texts from Austria, Denmark, Germany and the United States, this book proposes an abstract framework through which such

Overview: I ntrod uction or some time 32-bit machines have been a hot topic in the world F ofPCs. It seems that more powerful operating systems will soon be displacing DOS. Meanwhile, at least in the professional literature, lively discussion has been raging about what the future standard will be. Two alternatives seem to be emerging for the domain of server operating systems: Windows NT, and UNIX variants such as UNIX VS. Windows NT Solaris 2, UnixWare, and NextStep 486. In this context OS/2 plays no significant role since it is seen more as a competitor to Windows in its current version and
