Overview: Videoanalyse zur ?Entwicklung einer Typologie von ModellierungsstrategienLeroy Großmann entwickelt auf der Grundlage videografierter Blackbox-Untersuchungen eine Typologie von Modellierungsstrategien. Insbesondere in der biologiedidaktischen Forschung wurde eine Vielzahl quantitativer Untersuchungen zum Modellverstehen durchgeführt und damit das Kompetenzmodell der Modellkompetenz empirisch überprüft. Für das Modellieren als praktische Tätigkeit gibt es jedoch bislang kein ausdifferenziertes Kompetenzmodell – diese Forschungslücke wird mit der vorliegenden qualitativen Studie geschlo

Overview: Unique approach to complexity and change management.Wide range of applications.Contains many original art works by the author.Includes supplementary material: .In times of general instability change management is a great challenge. Our fossil mental patterns are not sufficient any more to be able to navigate sensibly the global scenario of complexity. Metaphorical thinking is a method which releases creative impulses into every change process and is of practical use, activating collective knowledge as a new network resource at the same time. This book reflects modern economy, ecology

Overview: Study in media sciences.Includes supplementary material: The present book proposes a systematic understanding about the conditions, mechanisms, influences, and processes evolving into a creative behavior in music, based on interdisciplinary perspectives of the cognitive sciences, In his research study, Sebastian Schmidt focuses on so-called musical extrapolations’ processes which bring the elusive quality of music into mental existence by creating extrapolations about possible future occurring events, their musical meanings, and the interrelations of their meanings. These processes,

Overview: Provides up-to-date information on different processes for methane production.Examines the potential of methane gas hydrates as an energy resource.Includes supplementary material: .Gas hydrates represent one of the world’s largest untapped reservoirs of energy and, according to some estimates, have the potential to meet global energy needs for the next thousand years. "Methane Gas Hydrate" examines this potential by focusing on methane gas hydrate, which is increasingly considered a significant source of energy..."Methane Gas Hydrate" gives a general overview of natural gas, before d

Overview: In these lectures we summarize certain results on models in statistical physics and quantum field theory and especially emphasize the deep relation­ ship between these subjects. From a physical point of view, we study phase transitions of realistic systems; from a more mathematical point of view, we describe field theoretical models defined on a euclidean space-time lattice, for which the lattice constant serves as a cutoff. The connection between these two approaches is obtained by identifying partition functions for spin models with discretized functional integrals. After an introd

Overview: The first mention of moyamoya disease as a distinct disease entity was in a paper I published in 1965. The abnormal net­ like vessels at the base of the brain seen in cerebral angio­ grams of this disease were described by most native speakers of Japanese as "moyamoya," a Japanese expression for some­ thing hazy, such as a puff of cigarette smoke drifting in the air. In fact, prior to my advocacy of this term, this type of vascular network was often referred to as "moyamoya vessels" by Japanese researchers. In 1969, Dr. A. Takaku and I submitted a paper to the Ar­ chives of Neurology

Overview: .China‘s outward foreign direct investment, for which Australia is one of the largest destinations, has rapidly increased and become an important source of global capital.Nevertheless, Chinese investors have encountered many challenges in making their investment decisions and managing their foreign direct investments for sustainable development and profitability. Managing Chinese Outward Foreign Direct Investment focuses on the management of Chinese outward foreign direct investment, particularly foreign subsidiaries established through merger and acquisition, at the organisational l

Overview: In the past 10 years extensive effort has been dedicated to commercial wireless local area network (WLAN) systems. Despite all these efforts, however, none of the existing systems has been successful, mainly due to their low data rates. The increasing demand for WLAN systems that can support data rates in excess of 20 Mb/s enticed the FCC to create an unlicensed national information infrastructure (U–NII) band at 5 GHz. This frequency band provides 300 MHz of spectrum in two segments: a 200 MHz(5.15–5.35 GHz) and a 100 MHz (5.725–5.825 GHz) frequency band. This newly released spectru

Overview: .Il volume presenta una completa analisi delle applicazioni dei mezzi di contrasto ecografici a livello addominale, ed è principalmente diretto agli istituti di scienza delle immagini ed agli ospedali dove vengono correntemtne utilizzati i mezzi di contrasto ecografici nella pratica clinica. Peraltro, il libro si rivolge anche a medici e studiosi non ancora coinvolti nelle applicazioni cliniche dei mezzi di contrasto ecografici ma che desiderano avere un quadro generale delle possibili applicazioni a livello addominale..978-88-470-5582-7978-88-470-0617-1

Overview: Aktuelle sozialwissenschaftliche Beiträge.Includes supplementary material: .Zwischen Musik und Religion gibt es vielerlei Beziehungen: Bekannte religiöse Texte sind unzählige Male vertont worden, religiöse Institutionen haben Kompositionen in Auftrag gegeben, in religiöser Architektur finden Konzerte statt usw. Auch der Psychologie gibt das Thema “religiöse Musik” viele Fragen vor: Warum berührt religiöse Musik Menschen oft eigentümlich, sogar solche, die sich als nicht-religiös empfinden? Sind Religiosität und Musikalität evolutionär-psychologisch analog zu verstehen? Haben Religion

Overview: Moral, Ethik und Werte im öffentlichen Diskurs.Includes supplementary material: .Cristina Besio diskutiert, wie Organisationen mit Moral umgehen. Obgleich Organisationen häufig eine intensive moralische Kommunikation pflegen, wirkt Moral dort selten handlungsleitend. In vier Aufsätzen beschreibt und klärt die Autorin, wie Unternehmen und NPOs moralische Gebote selektiv wahrnehmen und sie in solchen Formen (z.B. in Verhaltenskodizes) re-spezifizieren, die sie sich in ihren Entscheidungsprozessen zunutze machen können. Als Resultat hat Moral eine zwiespältige Funktion: Einerseits kann

Overview: Software-Komponenten mit Qualität entwickeln.Basiswissen für Informatik-EinsteigerDieses Lehrbuch will den Leser nicht nur in das Programmieren im Kleinen, in Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen, sondern auch in objekt- und komponentenorientierte Softwaretechniken einführen, um ihn auf das systematische Konstruieren professioneller Software vorzubereiten.

Overview: Presents a unified approach to vibrations and controls, including an excellent diagram that simultaneously discusses embedding classical vibrations (mechanical systems) in a discussion of models, inveThis essential textbook concerns analysis and control of engineering mechanisms, which includes almost any apparatus with moving parts used in daily life, from musical instruments to robots. A particular characteristic of this book is that it presents with considerable breadth and rigor both vibrations and controls. Many contemporary texts combine both of these topics in a single, one te

Overview: Covers areas including theory of Supermind and Evolutionary Metaphysics.Broadens the understanding of evolutionary theory of consciousness in the present materialist and naturalist age.Leads the field.This book explores the transition from the mind to the Supermind within the scope of an evolutionary metaphysics. The idea of Supermind has not been discussed so far in the mainstream philosophy of mind and consciousness. This book will give a new approach to the study of consciousness from the Indian vedantic perspective which has introduced the idea of Supermind, especially in the wor
