Overview: In the late summer of 1967, several patients suffering from a severe disease were admitted to the Department of Medicine of the Marburg University. It soon became obvious that the illness was a hitherto unknown infectious disease. The number of afflicted patients increased to 23. Several cases were observed in Frankfurt/Main at the same time and, some weeks later also in Belgrade, Yugo­ slavia. Common to all the patients was previous contact with the blood or tissues of Cercopithecus aethiops, the vervet monkey. Altogether 31 people became ill and 7 died. It was soon apparent that th

Overview: Fast conference proceedings.State-of-the-art report.Up to date resultsThis book constitutes the thoroughly refereed conference proceedings of the 38th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science, MFCS 2013, held in Klosterneuburg, Austria, in August 2013. The 67 revised full papers presented together with six invited talks were carefully selected from 191 submissions.

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie?.Includes supplementary material: Interkulturelle und ländervergleichende Umfrageforschung ist aktuell wohl die größte Herausforderung der standardisierten internationalen Meinungserhebungen. Sie weist nicht nur organisatorische, sondern auch eine Vielzahl methodischer und wissenschaftstheoretischer Problemlagen auf. In einem umfassenden Ansatz differenzieren die Autoren diese methodischen Problembereiche weiter aus. Sie diskutieren Lösungsansätze für das Problem der funktionalen Äquivalenz und eröffnen Perspektiven für eine Methodologie interkulturelle

Overview: Arising from a research project on depression in the eighteenth century, this book discusses the experience of depressive states both in terms of existing modes of thought and expression, and of attempts to describe and live with suffering. It also asks what present-day society can learn about depression from the eighteenth-century experience.978-1-349-31949-7978-0-230-30659-2

Overview: Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche StudieAuf den globalisierten Märkten erhöht sich mit zunehmender Wettbewerbsintensität der Profilierungsdruck für Marken. Im Rahmen der Kommunikationspolitik werden daher die klassischen Instrumente der Massenkommunikation durch moderne Formen der so genannten Dialogkommunikation ergänzt oder sogar ersetzt. Die Wirkung solcher Dialoge ist dann besonders hoch, wenn die Informationen multisensual vermittelt und aufgenommen werden. Allerdings befindet sich die Erforschung der Ausgestaltungsformen und Wirkungen der ganzheitlichen Sinnesansprache noch in einem

Overview: The color photographs and illustrations appearing in select monographs over the past decade represent a significant advance in surgical commu­ nication. Previously, black and white renderings were standard because color printing had not been perfected and its cost was prohibitive. We be­ lieve the gradual change from black and white etchings and reproductions to detailed color illustrations represents a tremendous twentieth century achievement. In our own urologic practices it became evident that the use of black and white sketches for teaching operative urology, while helpful, left
