Overview: This first volume in the series is based on part of a course that I taught in various state and private institutions during 1979 and 1980. It was concerned with the design and control of stationary, articulated robots operating as non-feedback systems. This book (which is devoted to the statement and understanding of problems rather than their solution) presents a review of some of the work, started in 1972, of the team involved with robotics and biomechanics at the Automation Laboratory at Montpellier, in association with the French National Centre for Scientific Research. I am grea

Overview: Written by experts, Gives a modern approach, Comprehensive in ScopeIn this book, we introduce several sensitivity measures in educational contexts that can be used in research, education and self-evaluations. In Chapter 1 we discuss the framework of Howard Gardner‘s Multiple Intelligences theory and introduce our Multiple Intelligences Profiling Questionnaire. We present the psychometrical qualities of the instrument with empirical data sets of children, youth and adults. In Chapter 2 the Spiritual Sensitivity Scale is introduced with the theoretical framework it is connected to. The

Overview: Most of the scientific methods devised for forest planning support timber production ignoring the existence of forest functions other than wood production. Fortunately, the realisation that the forest planning methods available today do not correspond to the needs of today‘s forestry has activated forest researchers to develop and adopt new methodologies and approaches, which are specifically aimed at multi-objective situations. This book is about the quantitative approach to multi-objective forest planning. The emphasis is on topics that are rather new and not yet systematically app

This popular science book provides answers to these and many other

Overview: Viele der bewährten Managementkonzepte eignen sich nur für geordnete und stabile Verhältnisse. In Zeiten zunehmender Komplexität werden Denk- und Handlungsmuster im Management benötigt, die auch bei stetem Wandel ein ganzheitliches unternehmerisches Denken und Handeln ermöglichen...Klaus Daniel präsentiert eine praxisgerechte Konzeption zur reifegradbezogenen Gestaltung von Managementprozessen. Dazu entwickelt der Autor das Gedankengut des Performance Managements konsequent weiter und beschreibt eine Methodik für den Aufbau von Process Blueprints als Ausgangspunkt für die unternehmen

Overview: When, in my capacity as President of the Societe de Chimie physique, I opened the 24th Annual Meeting of this Society, devoted this year to ‘molecular motions in liquids‘, I was stirred by a particular emotion. This had two reasons, one general and the other rather personal. I would like to give an explanation in the Foreword to this volume of communications to the Meeting and their ensuing discussions. An essential characteristic of science is its international nature. It is like a symphony composed of contributions by all the countries playing together as an orchestra in unison. Ju

Overview: Covers cutting-edge developments in the microbial degradation of pesticides.Details the role of various enzymes in the degradation of pesticides.Illustrates the degradative pathways of different pesti.This book focuses on the microbial degradation of endosulfan, lindane, chlorophenols, organochlorine, aldrin, dieldrin, isoproturon and atrazine, etc. which are commonly used in crop fields to kill the pests. Further, it illustrates the role of degradative enzymes, metabolic pathways of degradation, toxicity of metabolites, and the factors regulating the pesticide degradation..In view o

Overview: Over the course of just a few decades, magnetic resonance (MR) has evolved from an analytical tool to a premier imaging mod­ ality. The ability of MR to provide cross-sectional images, as well as chemical and physiological information, has attracted students from many disciplines. Because applied MR is multidisciplinary, it is generally taught in an informal setting rather than as structured course work. During my years of teach­ ing the subject, I felt the need for an appropriate text for students from diverse backgrounds. The materials now available are ei­ ther basic introductions

Overview: The idea of reviewing the ethical concerns of ancient medicine with an eye as to how they might instruct us about the extremely lively disputes of our own contemporary medicine is such a natural one that it surprises us to real­ ize how very slow we have been to pursue it in a sustained way_ Ideologues have often seized on the very name of Hippocrates to close off debate about such matters as abortion and euthanasia - as if by appeal to a well-known and sacred authority that no informed person would care or dare to oppose_ And yet, beneath the polite fakery of such reference, we have

Overview: For investigators engaged in the study of toxins generally, and host-specific toxins in particular, it is a rare treat to attend a meeting in which toxins involved in plant pathogenesis are emphasized. A gathering of this type provides opportunity to consider the discovery of new toxins, their chemical structures, genes encoding enzymes that control their biosyntheses, their sites of action and physiological effects on plants, and their roles (if any) in pathological processes. Having acknowledged the inspiration fostered by a ‘toxin meeting‘, however, it is important to point out th
