Overview: This volume, Mechanical Design: Theory and Methodology, has been put together over the past four years. Most of the work is ongoing as can be ascertained easily from the text. One can argue that this is so for any text or monograph. Any such book is only a snapshot in time, giving information about the state of knowledge of the authors when the book was compiled. The chapters have been updated and are representative of the state of the art in the field of design theory and methodology. It is barely over a decade that design as an area of study was revived, mostly at the behest of ind

Overview: Marx, the Body, and Human Nature shows that the body and the broader material world played a far more significant role in Marx‘s theory than previously recognised. It provides a fresh ‘take‘ on Marx‘s theory, revealing a much more open, dynamic and unstable conception of the body, the self, and human nature.978-1-137-50798-3

Overview: Sehr übersichtlicher Aufbau, klare Gliederung, Glossar, Index.Includes supplementary material: Was bedeutet "Menschenwürde"? Wie lässt sie sich begründen? Wem kommt sie zu? Wie lässt sich dieses Prinzip gesellschaftlich durchsetzen und auf welche bioethischen Konfliktfälle, insbesondere Konfliktfälle am Lebensanfang, Lebens­ ende und im Rahmen gentechnischer Eingriffe am Menschen lässt es sich anwen­ den? Dies sind die Fragen, die hinter der vorliegenden Untersuchung stehen. Diese Arbeit wäre ohne die Förderung durch die Deutsche Forschungsgemein­ schaft (DFG) und das interdisziplinä

Overview: The first book to address this topic.Of interest to all evolutionary biologistsThis volume concentrates on the origin of multicellular animals, Metazoa. Until now, no unequivocal phylogeny has been produced. Therefore, the questions remain: Did Metazoa evolve from the Protozoa only once, or several times? Is the origin of animals monophyletic or polyphyletic? Especially the relationships between the existing lower metazoan phyla, particularly the Porifera (sponges) are uncertain. Based on sequence data of genes typical for multicellularity it is demonstrated that all Metazoa, includi

Overview: Basics der Markenführung: kompakt und praxisnahDieses .essential .unterstützt Start-ups, Gründer und Jungunternehmer dabei, aus ihren Unternehmen, Produkten oder Dienstleistungen Marken zu entwickeln und diese nachhaltig zu führen. Der Autor erläutert grundlegende Begriffe und Funktionsweisen rund um das Thema Marke, erklärt, warum es mit einem guten Logo nicht getan ist, und beantwortet unter anderen folgende Fragestellungen: Warum sollte man gerade bei der Unternehmensgründung dem Thema Marke Beachtung schenken? Was gilt es beim Markennamen zu beachten? Warum ist Markenführung nach

Overview: I. The topics of this book The concept of a matroid has been known for more than five decades. Whitney (1935) introduced it as a common generalization of graphs and matrices. In the last two decades, it has become clear how important the concept is, for the following reasons: (1) Combinatorics (or discrete mathematics) was considered by many to be a collection of interesting, sometimes deep, but mostly unrelated ideas. However, like other branches of mathematics, combinatorics also encompasses some gen­ eral tools that can be learned and then applied, to various problems. Matroid the

Overview: Premier ouvrage francophone sur la migraine et les céphalées de l‘enfant, pathologies longtemps méconnues alors que 5 à 15 % des enfants et adolescents sont touchés.Ce traité est le fruit de l‘expérie.La migraine de l’enfant est paradoxale à plus d’un titre : lors des crises, la douleur est sévère, les enfants sont souvent livides, « cadavériques », incapables de bouger, ils sont obligés de s’allonger dans la pénombre, vomissent parfois massivement, voient, sentent, entendent des « choses bizarres » – correspondant aux auras ; mais ils se réveillent en pleine forme après avoir dormi

Overview: Presents advances in risk analysis, reliability and maintenance (RRM) and MCDM.Integrates fundamental concepts from both areas of RRM and decision making.Includes multiobjective topics such as linear This book considers a broad range of areas from decision making methods applied in the contexts of Risk, Reliability and Maintenance (RRM). Intended primarily as an update of the 2015 book .Multicriteria and Multiobjective Models for Risk, Reliability and Maintenance Decision Analysis., this edited work provides an integration of applied probability and decision making. Within applied pr

Overview: Thoroughly examines the technology of Mixed-Mode Chromatography.Covers many different applications in both pharmaceutical analysis and biotechnology products.Broadens your understanding for the pharmaThe book is about the technology and application of Mixed-mode chromatography (MMC). Unlike conventional single-mode HPLC, which resolves the analytes primarily based on their ionic or hydrophobic properties, MMC employs multifunctional stationary phases to exploit at least two modes of interactions (i.e., ionic and hydrophobic) with the analytes and as such often provides resolution tha

Overview: This book draws on a range of sources, including tales of castaways, fictional narratives, and interviews with teachers in conversation schools and universities in Japan, to explore many current concerns around teacher identity, gender, and intercultural sexuality in global English language teaching.978-1-349-46146-2978-1-137-33180-9

Overview: Focuses on the hydraulics of high-speed flows in hydraulic engineering and dam projects, including cavitation erosion, aeration protection, air–water flows, flood discharge atomization and energy diss.This open access book presents a series of complicated hydraulic phenomena and related mechanism of high-speed flows in head-head dam. According to the basic hydraulic theory, detailed experiments and numerical simulations, microscopic scale analysis on cavitation bubbles, air bubbles, turbulent eddy vortices and sand grains are examined systemically. These investigations on microscopic

Overview: Presents methods for the development of miniature biosensors.Explores recent developments in transduction used on biosensors.Reviews challenges and commercial potential of miniature biosensorsThis book presents tools and techniques for the development of miniature biosensors and their applications. The initial chapters discuss the advancements in the development of the transduction techniques, including optical, electrochemical, and piezoelectric, which are used for miniaturized biosensors. The book also reviews several technologies, such as nanotechnology, nanobiotechnology, immune-

Overview: This volume presents the proceedings of the Fourth Workshop on Multiaccess, Mobility and Teletraffic for Wireless Communications held in October 1998 in Washington, D.C. The focus of this workshop is to identify, present and discuss the theoretical and implementation issues critical to the design of wireless networks. To ensure proper network design and engineering, designers of wireless networks need to understand and address issues such as radio propagation, antenna, interference management, multiaccess, mobility, teletraffic, signalling and networking protocols. In fact, not only

Overview: .This SpringerBrief presents the design and performance evaluation of communication protocols based on dissimilarity metrics for wireless multihop networks. Dissimilarity metrics are used to infer the network topology based solely on local information to efficiently disseminate packets throughout the network, reducing both redundancy and congestion which is covered in this brief...The performance evaluation of the proposed communication protocols has been conducted by both meticulous simulation and real experimentation in a wireless multi-hop testbed. The obtained results in this bri

Overview: In its narrowest sense, "mentally disordered offender" refers to the approximately twenty thousand persons per year in the United States who are institutionalized as not guilty by reason of insanity, incompetent to stand trial, and mentally disordered sex offenders, as well as those prisoners transferred to mental hospitals. The real importance of mentally disordered offenders, however, may not lie in this figure. Rather, it may reside in the symbolic role that mentally disordered offenders play for the rest of the legal system. The 3,140 persons residing in state institutions on an
