Overview: Includes supplementary material: The biennial European Conference on Machine Learning (ECML) series is intended to provide an international forum for the discussion of the latest high quality research results in machine learning and is the major European scienti?c event in the ?eld. The eleventh conference (ECML 2000) held in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain from May 31 to June 2, 2000, has continued this tradition by attracting high quality papers from around the world. Scientists from 21 countries submitted 100 papers to ECML 2000, from which 20 were selected for long oral presentations

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by Boston University, the author was also the recipient of the Gertrude and Maurice Goldhaber Award for Excellence in Physics Research.Describes the first calcul.The thesis presents experimental and theoretical results about the surface dynamics and the surface Dirac fermion (DF) spectral function of the strong topological insulators Bi2Te3 and Bi2Se3. The experimental results reveal the presence of a strong Kohn anomaly in the measured surface phonon dispersion of a low-lying optical mode, and the absence of surface Rayleigh acoustic phonons. F

Overview: Practical guide with up-to-date coverage of all aspects of skin cancer, including new diagnostic and treatment options.Lavishly illustrated with a reader-friendly format and step-by-step guidelines an.Skin cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm and its incidence is rising worldwide. The epidemic increase in such tumors calls for efficient management by the application of appropriate guidelines for therapy and prevention. Clinicians managing these patients need to keep up to date with the latest advances, allowing them to provide optimal treatment. This practical guide offers th

Overview: Reports cutting-edge research in optimum experimental design.The authors are leading experts in the field.Contributions cover self-contained topics drawn from science, engineering and pharmaceutical iThis book collects the proceedings of the 10th Workshop on Model-Oriented Design and Analysis (mODa). A model-oriented view on the design of experiments, which is the unifying theme of all mODa meetings, assumes some knowledge of the form of the data-generating process and naturally leads to the so-called optimum experimental design. Its theory and practice have since become important in

Overview: Contains case studies to highlight local economic challenges faced within Africa.Explores how regional monetary unions could be transformed into an African Monetary Union.Examines the colonial origins.This book provides an overview of the monetary and financial systems seen in Africa. The issues related to these systems are examined to help evaluate their effectiveness in fostering the development of African economies. Economic integration is extensively discussed to highlight variations between different parts of Africa and the specific challenges seen within certain regions. The im

Overview: Die Grundlage der Pilotstudie bilden 21 Interviews mit 11- bis 13- jährigen Schüler*innen aus vier soziodemographisch verschiedenen Wiener Schulen der Sek I. Ausgehend von kurzen Quellentexten für den Unterricht in Geschichte und Politischer Bildung werden Themen wie Gleichbehandlung von Frauen und Männern sowie die Mitsprache in Familie, Schule und Politik aus historischer und lebensnaher Perspektive erörtert. .Die gut dokumentierte Studie liefert Einblicke, zum einen in die politischen Erfahrungen und Vorstellungen, die 11-13-Jährige in den Unterricht einbringen und zum anderen wer

Der Lehrstoff wird erarbeitet, indem Werkzeuge der Computeralgebra mit durchgerechneten Anwendungsbeispielen aus der Technik kombiniert werden (etwa 300 pro Band). Abstrakte mathematische Begriffe werden anschaulich erklärt, auf Beweise wird größtenteils verzichtet. Für di

Overview: Presents the historical transition of landfill technologies in Japan since the 1960s.Discusses issues of landfill technologies and related measures.Makes abundant use of tables and figures to facilita.Japan was ahead of the rest of the world when it introduced intermediate processing of municipal waste by such means as incineration in the 1960s. Owing to the small land area of the country and the difficulty in securing landfill sites, the incineration ratio of municipal combustible waste had reached 100% by the 1990s. Along with the landfill of incineration residues, proprietary tech

Overview: Discusses the narrativization of events leading to the military government taking power in Argentina.Analyses a broad range of articles from key contemporary newspapers.Discusses the notion of discourThis book analyses the punitive crime discourse in the Argentinean press during the 1990s. Fernandez Roich focusses on several features of media discourse during this time, such as: the notion that petty criminals ‘deserve to die‘ in reference to police brutality and killings, the phenomenon of ‘vindicators’ or how common citizens turned into ‘evil’ modern heroes in the press, and the pa

Overview: Introduces the latest research on motion planning for humanoid robots.Covers both the theoretical and the practical aspects of humanoid motion planning to give readers a thorough understanding of the Research on humanoid robots has been mostly with the aim of developing robots that can replace humans in the performance of certain tasks. Motion planning for these robots can be quite difficult, due to their complex kinematics, dynamics and environment. It is consequently one of the key research topics in humanoid robotics research and the last few years have witnessed considerable prog

Overview: Proteins constitute the working-class molecules of the cell. Hence, understanding the way they act is a prerequisite for understanding how a cell functions and how life evolves. Aspects such as the protein-ligand relationship, recognition, protein evolution by point mutation, enzyme-substrate interactions, behaviour of an enzyme in a living cell, control and dynamics of enzyme networks as well as the physico-chemical background of enzyme actions and multi-enzyme complexes are comprehensively treated in this volume.978-3-642-78583-2978-3-642-78581-8Series ISSN 0079-6484 Series E-ISSN
