Overview: These Proceedings report the scientific results of an International Workshop on Large-Scale Modelling and Interactive Decision Analysis organized Jointly by the System and Decision Sciences Program of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA, located in Laxenburg, Austria), and the Institute for Informatics of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR (located in Berlin, GDR). The Workshop was held at a historically well-known place - the Wartburg Castl- near Eisenach (GDR). (Here Martin Luther translated the Bible into German.) More than fifty scientists representing

Overview: This book contains thoroughly written reviews of modern developments in low-dimensional modelling of statistical mechanics and quantum systems. It addresses students as well as researchers. The main items can be grouped into integrable (quantum) spin systems, which lead in the continuum limit to (conformal invariant) quantum field theory models and their algebraic structures, ranging from the Yang-Baxter equation and quantum groups to noncommutative geometry.978-3-662-14068-0978-3-540-49778-3Series ISSN 0075-8450 Series E-ISSN 1616-6361

Overview: Study abroad is often seen as a crucial dimension of language learning - developing communicative proficiency, language awareness, and intercultural competence. The author provides an overview and assessment of research on language learning in study abroad settings, reviewing the advantages and constraints of perspectives adopted in this research.978-1-137-50454-8978-0-230-24076-6

Overview: First book to elaborate learning as a negotiation practice.Offers new insight and perspectives on contemporary adult work and learning.Outlines and elaborates a comprehensive model of learning in work.This book explores and progresses the concept of negotiation as a means of describing and explaining individuals’ learning in work. It challenges the undertheorised and generic use of the concept in contemporary work-learning research where the concept of negotiation is most often deployed as a taken for granted synonym for interaction, co-participation and collaboration and, hence, use

Overview: This book explores the Society of Friend‘s Atlantic presence through its creation and use of networks, including intellectual and theological exchange, and through the movement of people. It focuses on the establishment of trans-Atlantic Quaker networks and the crucial role London played in the creation of a Quaker community in the North Atlantic.978-1-349-47425-7978-1-137-36668-9Series ISSN 2634-5838 Series E-ISSN 2634-5846

Overview: Where do you begin to look for arecent, authoritative article on the diagnosis or management of a particular malignancy? The few general onco­ logy textbooks are generally out of date. Single papers in specialized journals are informative but seldom comprehensive; these are more often preliminary reports on a very limited number of patients. Certain general journals fre­ quently publish good in-depth reviews of cancer topics, and published sym­ posium lectures are often the best overviews available. Unfortunately, these reviews and supplements appear sporadically, and the reader can

Overview: Verbindung zweier Trendthemen: Führung und Change Management.Best Practice“ erfahrener Veränderungsmanager.In Zusammenarbeit mit dem renommierten IAP Institut für Angewandte Psychologie in Zürich.Incl„Gute Führung“ ist DER erfolgskritische Faktor in organisationalen Veränderungsprozessen. Das ist fast schon eine Binsenweisheit, und doch scheitern immer noch zahlreiche Change-Projekte, weil Führungsthemen wie Kommunikation, Partizipation, Konfliktmanagement, zwischenmenschliche Dynamik oder allgemein „der Faktor Mensch“ nicht berücksichtigt werden. Doch es gibt sie natürlich, die Best

Overview: This SpringerBrief analyzes the potential privacy threats in wireless and mobile network environments, and reviews some existing works. It proposes multiple privacy preserving techniques against several types of privacy threats that are targeting users in a mobile network environment. Depending on the network architecture, different approaches can be adopted. The first proposed approach considers a three-party system architecture where there is a trusted central authority that can be used to protect users’ privacy. The second approach considers a totally distributed environment where

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Robot learning is a broad and interdisciplinary area. This holds with regard to the basic interests and the scienti c background of the researchers involved, as well as with regard to the techniques and approaches used. The interests that motivate the researchers in this eld range from fundamental research issues, such as how to constructively understand intelligence, to purely application o- ented work, such as the exploitation of learning techniques for industrial robotics. Given this broad scope of interests, it is not surprising that, although AI

Overview: Explores the evolving roles of energy stakeholders and geopolitical considerations.Suggests that politics more so than economics or environmental pressure will determine the speed, scope, and effects This book explores the evolving roles of energy stakeholders and geopolitical considerations, leveraging on the dizzying array of planned and actual projects for solar, wind, hydropower, waste-to-energy, and nuclear power in the region. Over the next few decades, favorable economics for low carbon energy sources combined with stagnant oil demand growth will facilitate a shift away from t

Overview: Summarizes the most up-to-date information on seasonal adaptation in animals.Chapters correspond to presentations to be given at the 14th International Hibernation Symposium.Serves as the cutting-edge.This book summarises the newest information on seasonal adaptation in animals. Topics include animal hibernation, daily torpor, thermoregulation, heat production, metabolic depression, biochemical adaptations, neurophysiology and energy balance. The contributors to this book present interdisciplinary research at multiple levels ranging from the molecular to the ecophysiological, as well

Overview: Meets the urgent needs of teachers who are supporting EAL learners in mainstream classrooms.Clarifies the relationships between LAC, immersion, CLIL, Content-based Instruction and other related approaThis book will be of interest to a broad readership, regardless of whether they have a background in sociolinguistics, functional linguistics or genre theories.  It presents an accessible “meta-language” (i.e. a language for talking about language) that is workable and usable for teachers and researchers from both language and content backgrounds, thus facilitating collaboration across c

Overview: Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts, which has appeared in semi-annual volumes since 1969, is de­ voted to the recording, summarizing and indexing of astronomical publications throughout the world. It is prepared under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union (according to a resolution adopted at the 14th General Assembly in 1970). Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts aims to present a comprehensive documentation of literature in all fields of astronomy and astrophysics. Every effort will be made to ensure that the average time interval between the date of receipt of the

Overview: Integrative perspective on river science and management.Novel approaches to environmental rehabilitation of riverine ecosystems.Complementary combination of natural and social sciences.Detailed descri.All over the world, sustainable river basin management is a leading principle of policy plans and legal instruments for water management (e.g. the European Water Framework Directive). The evidence, however, to underpin the full scope of sustainability is rather scanty. In this book an integrative perspective on trends and challenges in river science and management is demonstrated.
