Overview: A collection of models with singularities is presented.Each chapter presents the history of the model and the current state of the art.Interesting open problems are pointed out as a guide for future rThe book aims to provide an unifying view of a variety (a ‘zoo‘) of mathematical models with some kind of singular nonlinearity, in the sense that it becomes infinite when the state variable approaches a certain point. Up to 11 different concrete models are analyzed in separate chapters. Each chapter starts with a discussion of the basic model and its physical significance. Then the main

Overview: Ritualforschung und ihre Potenziale für die Analyse und Theorie unserer MedienkulturMassenmedien sind in unserer Gesellschaft ein zentraler Ort moderner Rituale. Zum einen bedienen sich Akteure des öffentlichen Lebens der Medien als Forum ritueller Selbstinszenierung: Politiker, Kirchenvertreter oder soziale Bewegungen - sie alle nutzen die rituelle Macht der Medien, um ihre Botschaften wirkungsmächtig zu verbreiten. Daneben haben die Medien eigenständige Rituale entwickelt, die längst ins ‘kulturelle Programm’ westlicher Gesellschaften Eingang gefunden haben. Gerade die Rundfunkmedi

Overview: During the past thirty years considerable efforts have been made to design the synthesis and the study of molecular semiconductors. Molecular semiconductors - and more generally molecular materials - involve interactions between individual subunits which can be separately synthesized. Organic and metallo-organic derivatives are the basis of most of the molecular materials. A survey of the literature on molecular semiconductors leaves one rather confused. It does seem to be very difficult to correlate the molecular structure of these semiconductors with their experimental electrical p

Overview: Presents a unique fusion of wastewater- and environmental science and technologies of interest to a wide audience of researchers and students.Provides numerous examples and illustrations of current gr.This book reviews the consequences of improper disposal of greywater into the environment and the most appropriate treatment technologies for developing countries, focusing on the potential to reuse greywater as a production medium for biomass and bio-products. It also describes the quantities and qualitative characteristics, as well as the common practice of discharging greywater in de

Overview: Betrachtet vergleichend verschiedene Formen nicht-imperativer Verhaltenssteuerung.Greift die Bedeutung von Steuerungswirkungen in der neueren Rechtsprechung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts auf.Führt int.Jenseits der imperativen Steuerung durch Ge- und Verbot bedient sich der moderne Staat schon lange verschiedenster Formen einer mittelbaren Einflussnahme auf Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft: er steuert durch die Nutzung seiner Finanz- und Informationsmacht ebenso wie durch die Zuweisung von Risikosphären und Haftungsfolgen. Nach der Rechtsprechung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts darf er dies

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Birgit Hüpping nimmt subjektive Sichtweisen von Grundschullehrkräften in Bezug auf den pädagogischen Umgang mit migrationsbedingter Heterogenität in den Blick. Dabei werden akteurs- und handlungsbezogene sowie institutionelle Ebenen im Kontext von Schule analysiert. In einer qualitativen Interviewstudie zeigt die Autorin auf, dass die Heterogenität der Schülerschaft grundsätzlich bejaht und in ihren verschiedenen und vielfältigen Dimensionen wahrgenommen wird. Bei der Umsetzung in pädagogische Praktiken sind allerdings m

Overview: Presents multidisciplinary understanding of mitochondrial diseases.Provides essential tool to biomedical and clinical approach to mitochondrial diseases.Includes contributions from worldwide expertsMitochondrial diseases comprise a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of rare disorders that may affect virtually any system of the body at any age. Due to their complexity, understanding and diagnosing these diseases requires a multidisciplinary approach..This book provides an update on the major features of human mitochondrial diseases: genetic bases, pathophysiology, diagnosi

Overview: In this book marine biology and biotechnology meet materials science for the first time.This book is simultaneously oriented with respect to four scientific communities: biologists, chemists, material.The work is a source of modern knowledge on biomineralization, biomimetics and bioinspired materials science with respect to marine invertebrates. The author gives the most coherent analysis of the nature, origin and evolution of biocomposites and biopolymers isolated from and observed in the broad diversity of marine invertebrate organisms and within their unusual structural formations

Overview: Das Buch bietet eine systematische Einführung in die medizinische Physik.

Daran schließt sich jeweils eine wissenschaftlich systematische Stoffrepräsentation an. Als Hilfe beim Lernen, zur Rekapitulation und als schneller Zugriff beim Gebrauch des Buches folgen kapitelweise Zusammenfassungen. Eine sorgfältige Illustration des Stoffes folgt

Overview: Truly interdisciplinary in scope, ranging across art, psychology, therapy, environmental humanities, mental health, human geography, continental philosophy, animism and social science.Provides unique This book makes the unorthodox claim that there is no such thing as mental health. It also deglamourises nature-based psychotherapies, deconstructs therapeutic landscapes and redefines mental health and wellbeing as an ecological process distributed in the environment – rather than a psychological manifestation trapped within the mind of a human subject. Traditional and contemporary phil

Overview: This collection includes groundbreaking essays, and interviews with scholars and writers which reveal that despite pressures of assimilation, personal goals, and in some cases, anti-Semitism, they have never been able to divorce their lives or literature from their heritage.978-1-349-53802-7978-0-230-60484-1

Overview: Addresses long term difficulty of inadequate content knowledge of teachers of mathematics.Offers both pedagogic and policy applications at a global level.Includes contributions from key authors from aThe quality of primary and secondary school mathematics teaching is generally agreed to depend crucially on the subject-related knowledge of the teacher. However, there is increasing recognition that effective teaching calls for distinctive forms of subject-related knowledge and thinking. Thus, established ways of conceptualizing, developing and assessing mathematical knowledge for teach
