Overview: Untersuchung der gesellschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung um die Deutung und den Umgang mit DemenzVor dem Hintergrund des demografischen Wandels steht die Demenzthematik im Vordergrund öffentlicher Debatten. Damit ist auch eine Debatte um die richtige Deutung des Phänomens und um die Zuständigkeit und Lösungskompetenz der involvierten Instanzen verbunden. Manfred Schnabel untersucht diesen „Deutungskampf“ mit den Instrumenten einer politischen Diskursanalyse. Unter Rekurs auf poststrukturalistische Konzepte werden hegemoniale Strukturen in der Debatte rekonstruiert und übergeordneten di

The first chapter provides a quick overview of concepts and results in measure-theoretic probability theory that are useful in statistics. The second chapter introduces some fundamental concepts in statistical decision theory and inference. Chapters 3-7 contain detailed studies on some important topics: unbiased estimation, parametric estimation, nonparametric estimation, hypothesis testing, and confidence set

Overview: The first book treating the molecular aspects of mitochondrial diseases as well their diagnosisFor those like me who witnessed the beginning of the adventure of human mitochon­ drial pathology, one can only be astounded by the extent and unexpectedness of what the field has come to offer. Extent because nobody could have imagined the sheer size of the domain. Unexpectedness because hitherto it was impossible to imagine the clinical polymorphism that this pathology would represent. The starting point was clear. Initially, there was the exceptional, and for a long time unique, observat

Excellent relevant monographs [ 9. 10] . related timely proceedings [ 11] . and recently published elementary textbooks [12. 13] further help to define the pedagogical scope of molecular astrophysics. A significant financial investment has been made in the establishment of ground- and satellite-based observationai facilities for molecuiar astrophysical studies. In the coming years. a wealth of experimental data is bound to accumulate. in which connection close interactions between observers. astrophysical modelie

Overview: .In der Arbeit werden die Sichtweisen von Schülerinnen und Schülern auf den Einsatz metakognitiver Strategien in der Gruppenarbeit beim mathematischen Modellieren analysiert. Im Fokus der Analysen stehen die Auslöser für den Einsatz metakognitiver Strategien und deren Auswirkungen aus Schülerperspektive. Dabei konnten Schülertypen metakognitiver Strategien rekonstruiert werden, die die Sichtweisen und Einstellungen der Schülerinnen und Schüler auf den Einsatz metakognitiver Strategien widerspiegeln. Auf Grundlage dieser Schülertypen werden Hinweise für geeignete Lehrerinterventionen

Overview: Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key notes and implementation advice from the experts.Includes supplementary materiaThis volume looks at the latest methodologies used to study cellular metabolism with in silico approaches. The chapters in this book are divided into 3 parts: part I discusses tools and methods used for metabolic reconstructions and basic constraint-based metabolic modeling (CBMM); Part II explores protocols for the generation of experimental data for metabolic reconstruction and modelin

Overview: ​Eine Vielfalt von Stilen entwickelte sich ab etwa 1900 – diese Pluralität zeichnet „Moderne“ wie „Postmoderne“ aus. Während bisher vor allem die Geschichte der hochkulturellen Tonkunst geschrieben wurde, geht Stefan Weiss in diesem Buch einen anderen Weg: Er stellt Jazz und Rock gleichberechtigt neben die Neue Musik..Weiss schildert das Spannungsfeld von Werten und Ideologien, Popularität und Hermetik, stellt Medien und Orte des Musiklebens vor, geht aber gleichermaßen auch auf die Musik selbst ein. Mit ausführlichen Werkbesprechungen lädt der Band zu Entdeckungsreisen in die unters

Overview: During the last few centuries, and particularly in recent decades, problems result­ ing from the excessive use of drugs and alcohol have spread virtually as an epidemic to every country in the world and to almost every community. Abuse of alcohol and drugs is related to numerous other health problems, such as the spread of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) on all continents. Health and social services today cannot afford to ignore this crisis since it affects all levels of society and manifests itself in diverse health and social problems. In recent years, the World Health O

Overview: Provides a variety of approaches to control and exploit leakage.Examines the issues with implementing sub-threshold logic and describes techniques to tackle these issues.Presents a new, practical self.Power consumption of VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated) circuits has been growing at an alarmingly rapid rate. This increase in power consumption, coupled with the increasing demand for portable/hand-held electronics, has made power consumption a dominant concern in the design of VLSI circuits today. Traditionally, dynamic (switching) power has dominated the total power consumption of a

Overview: I am delighted to be asked to write the Foreword for Management and Practice in Emergency Nursing. More than any other nursing speciality Accident and Emergency work reflects change in society because it is the casualties of social upheaval, imbalance and inequality that you face every day. Here, unfortunately, A and E staff are confronted on a regular basis with child abuse, family violence, the result of terrorist activities, social violence, motor car accidents, personal loss of loved ones, the frustrations and aggression of life. Sometimes, though, some pleasant and funny episode

Overview: .Many applications of acoustic signal processing, such as teleconferencing and surveillance systems, require an estimate of several parameters present in the observed acoustic wavefield. The most important parameters are the number as well as the location of active acoustic sources. This book deals with the problem of detecting and localizing multiple simultaneously active wideband acoustic sources by applying the notion of wavefield decomposition using circular and spherical microphone arrays. The decomposed wavefield representation is used to serve as a basis for so-called modal ar

Overview: New research results.Excellent overview of various aspects of multi-scale modeling and characterization.Great source of information on the groups active in this field.The micro- and nano-modification of infrastructure materials and the associated multi-scale characterization and simulation has the potential to open up whole new uses and classes of materials, with wide-ranging implications for society. The use of multi-scale characterization and simulation brings the ability to target changes at the very small scale that predictably effect the bulk behavior of the material and thus al
