Overview: Combining experts from the medical and materials sciences, the Institute considered current concepts in medical and materials sciences as they relate to implantable prostheses in orthopedic surgical practice. The syllabus included theory and applications of materials properties, physiological function, and host response to metal and non-metal materials. Total hip prostheses are the most common orthopedic device implanted today involved in over 200,000 operations. Failures occur at the rate of 10~-40~ at ~ to 10 years. Failures are due to loosening, infection, fracture of femoral comp

Overview: This book addresses the multiple meanings of nostalgia in the literature of the period. Whether depicted as an emotion, remembrance, or fixation, these essays demonstrate that the nostalgic impulse reveals how deeply rooted in the damaged, the old, and the vanishing, were the variety of efforts to imagine and produce the new—the distinctly modern.978-1-349-45984-1978-1-137-32660-7

Overview: In September of 1981, a world conference on alternative fuels enti tled "Methane - Fuel for the Future" was held at Delta I s River Inn in Vancouver, British Columbia. Approximately 500 registrants from over a dozen countries attended the two day meeting. There were 20 invited papers which form the basis of this volume. The conference itself was inspired by the "energy crisis". This crisis was not seen in terms of any real shortage of oil in the -near term, although an end to conventional oil could be seen on the horizon. Rather, it was perceived as an artificial crisis, precipitated

Overview: Lays a foundation for the full dynamic simulation of soccer ball motion using classic mechanics.Introduces a numerical validation method to validate the dynamics models of soccer ball.Combines dynamicThe intelligent sports analysis of a soccer ball (also known as football, football ball, or association football ball) requires accurately simulating its motion and finding the best design parameters. Employing classic mechanics, this book establishes a fundamental framework for the soccer ball multi-body dynamics modeling, virtual prototype simulation and optimization design. It present

Overview: Brücke zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis.Ganzheitliches und dennoch einfaches Modell der Massenkommunikation.Systematisierung des Qualitätsbegriffs.Includes supplementary material: .Im Zentrum der Massenkommunikation steht der Journalismus – changierend zwischen Zauberwort und Missachtung ist er Voraussetzung für das Entstehen von Öffentlichkeit. So ist Information und Aufklärung die Grundbedingung der Demokratie, das Meinungen Machen durch Medien die Absicht von Wirtschaft und Politik, die „Unterbewusstseinsindustrie“ ein riesiger ökonomischer Faktor und „irgendwas mit Medien“ der va

Overview: Only book dealing with Mediterranean island landscapes.Written by Mediterranean islands experts, thus offering first hand knowledge of theory and practice.Multidisciplinary effort that encompasses an .Mediterranean islands exhibit many similarities in their biotic ecological, physical and environmental characteristics. There are also many differences in terms of their human colonization and current anthropogenic pressures. This book addresses in three sections these characteristics and examines the major environmental changes that the islands experienced during the Quaternary period.

Overview: First comprehensive work to integrate the use of an “open-source” computer algebra system with microeconomic analysis.Open-source” software continues to grow in popularity within the academic communit.Economists can use computer algebra systems to manipulate symbolic models, derive numerical computations, and analyze empirical relationships among variables. Maxima is an open-source multi-platform computer algebra system that rivals proprietary software. Maxima’s symbolic and computational capabilities enable economists and financial analysts to develop a deeper understanding of model

Overview: The past two decades may well become known as the golden era of neurobiology. This field, that in the first half of this century seemed far too complex to be investigated with the low resolution techniques available to the investigators, suddenly blossomed in the second half of the century into one of the most promising areas of biology, thanks to discoveries which took place practically simultaneously in most areas of neurobiological research. Here we mention only some of the most important: the discovery of the large number of neurotransmitters from monoamines to peptides, the iden

Overview: Presents a new educational theory on the basis of research results.Gives numerous step-by-step suggestions for different modes of instruction that can encourage more effective learning.Activity tools .In this book, the educational theory of metacognitive learning and its instructional implications are used to describe and illustrate how learners can become effective or self-directive learners. First, three levels of general knowledge of the learning process are discussed in this book through an overview of research studies. The book then describes how learners can develop along these

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Meshfree methods for the solution of partial differential equations gained much attention in recent years, not only in the engineering but also in the mathematics community. One of the reasons for this development is the fact that meshfree discretizations and particle models are often better suited to cope with geometric changes of the domain of interest, e.g. free surfaces and large deformations, than classical discretization techniques such as finite differences, finite elements or finite volumes. Another obvious advantage of meshfree discretization

Overview: Completely rewritten, updated and enlarged edition of Talagrand‘s Ergebnisse Vol. 46: "Spin Glasses: A Challenge for Mathematicians" (2003) in two volumes.Will bring the reader with no previous knowle.This is a new, completely revised, updated and enlarged edition of the author‘s Ergebnisse vol. 46: "Spin Glasses: A Challenge for Mathematicians" in two volumes (this is the 2nd volume).
