Overview: The first comprehensive work on the theory and practice of cable tension bands in medicine.Instructively illustrated by explanatory sketches, photos, x-rays and clear diagrams.Reference book and operaIn bone surgery it is essential to compress fractures interfragmentarily in order to make them resistant to the tensile force of muscles and the force resulting from acceleration and deceleration. This can be best achieved by the use of cable tension bands as a traction mechanism. The cable tension band is - in terms of stability of fractures - far superior to the conventional rigid cerc

Overview: The use of electrochemical techniques by chemists, particularly those who regard themselves as "inorganic" coordination chemists, has undergone a very rapid growth in the last 15-20 years. The techniques, as dassically applied to inorganic species, had their origins in analytical chemistry, and the methodology had assumed, until the mid 60s, more importance than the chemiStry. However, the growth of interest in coordination compounds (including organometallic complexes) having unusually rich of electron-transfer in bio-inorganic redox properties, and in the understanding species, has

Overview: The World Health Organization estimates that at least five million people worldwide are infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Of these about 100,000 are in Asia and Oceania, 500,000 in Europe, 2 million in the Americas and 2.5 million in Africa (Mann, 1989). The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is characterized by a derangement in cell-mediated immunity leading to opportunistic infections with for example Mycobacterium spp., Candida spp., Cryptococcus neoformans, Pneumocystis carinii, Toxoplasma gondii and Cryptosporidium. The third symposium on "Topics in Mycology" brou

Overview: Ansätze einer kritischen Neubewertung gesellschaftlicher (Kommunikations-)Phänomene in Raum und Zeit werden jüngst in der semi-autonomen Brückendisziplin „Geomedia“ bzw. „Geomedia Studies“ vereint, die sich an der Schnittstelle zwischen Medien-, Kommunikationswissenschaft und Geographie etabliert hat. Daran anknüpfend wird Geomediatisierung als die zunehmende Durchdringung der Gesellschaft mit Geomedientechnologien und deren wahrgenommener Unerlässlichkeit in einer Vielzahl von Alltagszusammenhängen als dialektischer Prozess verstanden, dessen detaillierte Ausformung dem Kräfteverhäl

Overview: Die mathematischen Methoden, die in der Ökonomie und Unternehmensforschung verwendet werden, ändern und erweitern sich beständig. Die Analysis (Differential- und Integralrechnung) gehört aber zu dem Grundstock der mathematischen Hilfsmittel, deren jeder Wirtschaftswissenschaftler bedarf, um schon so ein­ fache Begriffe wie Elastizität der Nachfrage, spezielle Produk­ tionsfunktionen, Stabilität des Gleichgewichts etc. anwenden zu können. Die Analysis ist auch nicht durch die Möglichkeit über­ holt worden, die Preistheorie auf ganz anderem Fundament auf­ 1 zubauen wie der Punkt-Mengen

Overview: Die vorliegende Schrift entstand in einer flir den Verfasser unruhigen Zeit. Der kurz nach AI­ beitsbeginn eingehende Ruf an die Technische Universität Ilmenau und der hiermit verbundene Aufbau eines neuen Lehrstuhles befeuerten zwar ihren Entstehungsprozeß, erleichterten ihn aber nicht gerade. Daß dieses Buch trotz aller zeitlichen Friktionen dennoch in der gewünsch­ ten Form entstanden ist, verdanke ich vor allem meiner Verlobten, Frau Dr. Birgit Lehne. Sie hat mir nicht nur viel "Nebensächliches" abgenommen, sondern mich mit ihrer Geduld und Zuneigung auch immer wieder sehr unters

Overview: This book provides a compelling analysis of the conditions in which women are sustained within prostitution in Britain at the end of the millennium. Based on a major empirical study, it is a unique glimpse into how some women, who live lives completely torn apart by poverty, violence and criminalization, are able to understand their lives in prostitution and make sense of the choices they make (including their involvement in prostitution) in their struggles to survive.978-0-333-94599-5978-0-333-98547-2
