Overview: Die Mindestreservepolitik einer Zentralbank gehört neben der Offenmarkt- und Diskontpolitik heute zu den einfachsten, tradi­ tionellen Instrumenten der Geldpolitik. Sie erscheint in ihrer theoretischen und institutionellen Ausgestaltung in jedem kon­ ventionellen wie auch in jedem modernen Einführungslehrbuch der Geldtheorie. Dabei hat es sich eingebürgert, ihre theoretischen Wirkungen, die ursprünglich allein auf das Zahlungsmittel Geld abstellen, auch auf andere, also nicht Zahlungsmittel darstellende "Geldarten" zu beziehen. Dies führte zu einem fundamentalen Denkfehler, dessen ma

Overview: Seeks to understand the workings and consequence of mistrust as a social phenomenon.Examines how mistrust is applied to reduce social complexity and how radical mistrust manifests.Circulates around et.This book examines the social practice of mistrust through the lens of social anthropology. In focusing on the citizens of the Caucasus, a region located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Mühlfried counters the postcolonial discourse that routinely treats these individuals, known for their mistrust of the state, as “others.” Combining ethnographic observations presenting mistrust as

Overview: Provides a new model for text analysis which acknowledges the impact of technological development.Offers a comprehensive picture of how a multimodal text can be meaningful.Applies the new model to a rThis book proposes a new model for the translation-oriented analysis of multimodal source texts. The author guides the reader through semiotics, multimodality, pragmatics and translation studies on a quest for the meaning-making mechanics of texts that combine images and words. She openly challenges the traditional view that sees translators focusing their attention mostly on the linguis

Overview: The first edition of Advances in the Microbiology and Biochemistry of Cheese and Fermented Milk was aimed at the gap in the literature between the many excellent technical texts on the one hand, and the widely scattered scientific literature on the other. We tried to present the state of the art in pre­ competitive research in a predigested, yet scientifically coherent form, and relate it to the marketable properties of fermented dairy products. In this way, researchers could use the book to mentally step back from their specializations and see how far they had progressed as a commun

Overview: The first book introducing the new biotechnology of biogenic metal nanoparticles. -.The editors are experienced researchers in the field of nanotechnology. -.Contributions written by leading researche.Following an introduction to biogenic metal nanoparticles, this book presents how they can be biosynthesized using bacteria, fungi and yeast, as well as their potential applications in biomedicine. It is shown that the synthesis of nanoparticles using microbes is eco-friendly and results in reproducible metal nanoparticles of well-defined sizes, shapes and structures. This biotechnologi

Overview: This book discusses how model-based approaches can improve the daily practice of software professionals. This is known as Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDSE) or, simply, Model-Driven Engineering (MDE).MDSE practices have proved to increase efficiency and effectiveness in software development, as demonstrated by various quantitative and qualitative studies. MDSE adoption in the software industry is foreseen to grow exponentially in the near future, e.g., due to the convergence of software development and business analysis.The aim of this book is to provide you with an agile and f

Overview: Wirtschaftswissenschaft?liche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Die Kapitalmarktspekulation, insbesondere der Devisenmarkthandel, erfreut sich wachsender Beliebtheit. Immer häufiger verwenden professionelle Trader und Amateure markttechnische Handelssysteme, die sich vergleichsweise einfach implementieren lassen. Obwohl sie von jedem seriösen FOREX-Broker online zur Verfügung gestellt werden, existieren bislang keine wissenschaftlich fundierten Untersuchungen zur Wirksamkeit dieser Handelsinstrumente im Sinne eines erzielten Spekulationsgewinns. Jonathan Hofmann untersucht den

Overview: First monograph to provide overview of multifunctional nanoparticles.An invaluable resource for government regulatory agencies, teachers of advanced courses, and advanced students alike.Globally respeThis book clearly demonstrates the progression of nanoparticle therapeutics from basic research to applications. This book, unlike others covering nanoparticles used in medical applications, presents the medical challenges that can be reduced or even overcome by recent advances in nanoscale drug delivery. Each chapter highlights recent progress in the design and engineering of select mul

Overview: During the past few years there has been intense research activity in the design, synthesis, and characterization of materials which are formed from molecular precursors, and which have high or metal-like electrical conductivities, i.e. dcr/dT < O. It has been widely supposed that these new materials, which are commonly called molecular metals, would be pressed into service, for example as devices. Up to now, widespread, practical applications of these sub­ stances have not developed. The NATO Advanced Research Institute on Molecular Metals at Les Arcs, France, September 10-16, 1978

Overview: Erste Studie zu Protestbewegungen der Berliner und New Yorker Mieterinnen und MieterLisa Vollmer entwirft eine Theorie politischer Kollektivität anhand aktueller Mieter_innenbewegungen in Berlin und New York, die sich gegen steigende Mieten und Verdrängung zur Wehr setzen. Die Mieter_innenproteste bilden in ihren Praktiken eine postautonome und postidentitäre politische Kollektivität aus. Die Praktiken entstehen im Kontext der neoliberalen Stadt. Damit unterscheiden sich die aktuellen Mieter_innenbewegungen von den anti-fordistischen Bewegungen der 1980er Jahre und sind Vertreterinne
