For the uninitiated reader, an introductory chapter looks into some basic definitions as well as

Overview: Explores mass conversions to Christianity and Islam in the Central Middle Ages.Compares conversions in the period to earlier medieval examples.Adopts a comparative framework and approaches a transnatiThis book explores the widespread mass conversions to Christianity and Islam that took place in Europe and Asia in the ninth to eleventh centuries. Taking a comparative perspective, contributors explore the processes at work in these conversions. Focusing on Christianity and Islam, it contrasts religious conversion in the period with earlier conversions, including those of Manichaeism in

Overview: Eine Untersuchung von Auswirkungen globaler Wertschöpfungsketten auf Menschenrechte.Includes supplementary material: Katharina Hagemann zeigt beispielhaft anhand des Mobiltelefons, wie es in globalen Wertschöpfungsketten zu Menschenrechtsverletzungen verschiedenster Art und verschiedensten Ausmaßes kommen kann. Die Autorin zerlegt die globale Wertschöpfungskette des Mobiltelefons und untersucht sie umfassend auf Menschenrechtsverletzungen. Dabei stellt sie flächendeckend permanente Verstöße gegen nationales wie internationales Recht fest. Sie erläutert exemplarisch zivilrechtliche An

Overview: Provides valuable content for specialists in oscillatory neural networks.Presents a solution to the problem of image comparison and attractor identification.Written by experts in the field.Includes suThis monograph examines in detail models of neural systems described by delay-differential equations. Each element of the medium (neuron) is an oscillator that generates, in standalone mode, short impulses also known as spikes. The book discusses models of synaptic interaction between neurons, which lead to complex oscillatory modes in the system. In addition, it presents a solution to t

Overview: The International School of Fusion Reactor Technology started its courses 15 years ago and since then has mantained a biennial pace. Generally, each course has developed the subject which was announced in advance at the closing of the previous course. The subject to which the present proceedings refer was chosen in violation of that rule so as to satisfy the recent and diffuse interest in cold fusion among the main European laboratories involved in controlled thermonuclear research (CTR). In the second half of 1986 we started to prepare a workshop aimed at assessing the state of the

Overview: This book analyzes the way media describe presidential candidates‘ character and the degree to which this discourse maintains a preference for masculinity in our politics, using content analysis of major print new media outlets.978-1-349-56604-4978-1-137-45645-8Series ISSN 2945-6150 Series E-ISSN 2945-6169

Overview: Scientists and researchers in academia and the vast chemical and electrochemical fields will delight in reading this ready reference and textbook which covers the essence of electroorganic reactions from a synthetic perspective. The author gives a well-organized and succinct view of the many ways in which the electrochemical method of synthesis may be used as a valuable adjunct to conventional chemical (thermal or catalytic) methodology. .The five chapters cover 1) a synoptic introduction to organic electrochemistry, 2) anodic and 3) cathodic reactions of synthetic interest, 4) indir

Overview: Up-to-date genetic information.Hands-on algorithms for day to day practice.Explains recent scientific developments including new technologies and analysis tools.Critical chapters on ethical issues and.This book covers recent developments and possible pitfalls in the diagnosis of genetic movement disorders and related conditions. It is divided into three sections: technical and scientific aspects; clinical aspects with guidance towards work-up; and ethical and legal aspects of genetic testing in a clinical and research setting..The first section includes chapters on genetic analysis a

Overview: .This book provides a comprehensive review of the models and approaches that can be employed to simulate modular multilevel converters (MMCs). Each solution is described in terms of operating principle, fields of applicability, advantages, and limitations. In addition, this work proposes a novel and efficient simulation approach for MMCs based on sub-circuit isomorphism. This technique, which has its roots in the electronics fields, can be profitably exploited to simulate MMCs regardless of the model used to describe its sub-modules, including the most accurate ones. Lastly, this boo

Overview: .From the reviews:. "The huge literature in risk theory has been carefully selected and supplemented by personal contributions of the author, many of which appear here for the first time. The result is a systematic and very readable book, which takes into account the most recent developments of the field. It will be of great interest to the actuary as well as to the statistician who wants to become familiar with the subject." .Math. Reviews Vol. 43."It is a book of fundamental importance for all interested in the application or teaching of the subject and a significant addition to th

Overview: Designing new structural materials, extending lifetimes andguarding against fracture in service are among the preoccupations ofengineers, and to deal with these they need to have command of themechanics of material behaviour. The first volume of this two-volumework deals with elastic and elastoplastic behaviour; this secondvolume continues with viscoelasticity, damage, fracture (resistance tocracking) and contact mechanics. As in Volume I, the treatment startsfrom the active mechanisms on the microscopic scale and develops thelaws of macroscopic behaviour. Chapter I deals with viscop

Après un bref rappel des notions en théorie des probabilités, l’auteur présente les modèles de base en actuariat permettant de décrire le comportement des risques en assurance. La mutualisation et les méthodes d’agrégation de risques indépendants sont passées en revue tout comme les notions

Overview: .Modernity theory approaches modern experience as it incorporates a sense of itself as ‘modern’ (modernity), along with the possibilities and limitations of representing this in the arts and culture generally (modernism). The book interrogates modernity in the name of a fluid, unsettled, unsettling modernism..As the offspring of the Enlightenment and the Age of Sensibility, modernity is framed here through a cultural aesthetics that highlights not just an instrumental, exploitative approach to the world but the distinctive configuration of embodiment, feeling, and imagination, that w
