Overview: Every year the few hundred members of the Committees, Task Forces, and Councils of the American Psychiatric Association meet in Washington, D.C. to conduct their business. They deliberate on a wide variety of issues encompassed in the activities of each group. The psychiatrists constituting this mixed and somewhat elite group include some of the better-known and promising people in the profession, which makes the plenary session and cocktail party good occasions to meet old friends and to make new ones. Several years ago one of us (N.B.L.) attended this gathering as a member of a soo

Overview: Presents applications and learning algorithms for Document Image Analysis and Recognition (DIAR).Identifies good practices for the use of learning strategies in DIAR.Includes supplementary material: The objective of Document Analysis and Recognition (DAR) is to recognize the text and graphicalcomponents of a document and to extract information. With ?rst papers dating back to the 1960’s, DAR is a mature but still gr- ing research?eld with consolidated and known techniques. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engines are some of the most widely recognized pr- ucts of the research in t

Overview: This book reinterprets the rise of consumerism in terms of interaction between Europe and China 1400-1800. In particular, it examines the intellectual foundations of consumerism in food, dress, shelter, utilities, information and symbolism. It highlights consumerism as an expression of both rationality and freedom and indicates the constructive role it has played in the formation of the modern world. Particular use is made of comparisons between developments in Europe and China to differentiate both.978-1-349-25764-5978-1-349-25762-1

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Middleware is a critical foundation needed to leverage the development of a wide range of mobile and ubiquitous applications. Intrinsic challenges when building such middleware require the combination of expertise from areas like distributed systems, networking, software engineering, and application development....This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the main fundamental problems, technologies, paradigms, and solutions of concern to developers of middleware for mobile environments. The contributions are grouped into four parts, on n

Overview: Migrationsforschung als kritische Forschung.Doing difference? Undoing difference?.Neue Ansätze in der Migrationsforschung.Includes supplementary material: .Die Beiträge des Bandes fragen nach Möglichkeiten und Grenzen von Migrationsforschung, die sich kritisch auf Macht- und Herrschaftsdimensionen der gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse beziehen. Methodologische Fragen, Aspekte des Verhältnisses von Migrationsforschung und Politik sowie die politischen und epistemischen Ansprüche kritischer Migrationsforschung werden darin behandelt..978-3-531-18622-1978-3-531-19145-4

Overview: This book collects recent theoretical developments in the area of material instability in elastic and plastic solids along with related analytical and numerical methods and applications. The existing different approaches to instability phenomena in metal single crystals, polycristals and in geomaterials are presented with the emphasis laid on mutual relations and on unifying concepts, including elliptictly loss and the energy criterion. Quasi-static bifurcation, initiation of single or multiple shear bands and post-critical strain localization are examined along with dynamic phenomen

Overview: Examines the issues of land, livelihoods and health in Delhi in conjunction to understand its current developmental situation.Focuses on equity in developmental processes in urban India.Provides impor.This book analyses how developmental projects in a globalizing Delhi have brought about neglect, exclusion and alienation of certain sections of population, while benefiting others. It discusses the physical, economic and social displacement of people in the city in recent times, which has deprived them of their lands, livelihoods and access to health care. In Delhi and the National Cap

Overview: Explains the practical implications of corporate responsibility (CR) for businesses.Shows how CR can be managed in real world scenarios based on author’s extensive experience.Discusses how to improve .This book is a comprehensive, road-tested framework for managing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) based on years of award winning performance in senior management roles in a multinational business. ..The author shows why non-financial performance indicators are just as important as financial ones when it comes to delivering performance and securing long term shareholder value. .CSR

Overview: Targets first-year students of fields in which calculus and its applications have a role.Brings over 330 carefully selected, solved problems on Limits, Derivatives, Integrals and more.Can be used as aThis textbook covers key topics of Elementary Calculus through selected exercises, in a sequence that facilitates development of problem-solving abilities and techniques. It opens with an introduction to fundamental facts of mathematical logic, set theory, and pre-calculus, extending toward functions, limits, derivatives, and integrals. Over 300 solved problems are approached with a simp

Overview: Presents solutions for a number of optimization tasks, based on which control algorithms are developed for outflows from reservoirs for complex water management systems.Discusses optimal water managemThis study discusses issues of optimal water management in a complex distribution system. The main elements of the water-management system under consideration are retention reservoirs, among which water transfers are possible, and a network of connections between these reservoirs and water treatment plants (WTPs). System operation optimisation involves determining the proper water transp

Overview: Christian Ragacs develops contributions to the theory of minimum wages, while taking rationing and spill-over effects on markets other than the labour market into account. Following an introduction into the theory of minimum wages and a discussion of methodological problems, four new theoretical models are developed; two of them comparative static in nature and two models of endogenous growth. The results are contradictory - partly supporting the ‘textbook‘ theory and partly yielding unorthodox results, such as no change in the steady state rates of growth and employment.978-1-349-51

Overview: The human nervous system-that most complex organization of energy and matter-has yielded a few glimmers of understanding of its operational me­ chanics during the last two decades. These have mostly been at the biochemical level of structure and function. Throughout history, as one of the mysteries of nature begins to yield some insights into its function, it has been beneficial to look at it from different points of view. We have developed a volume on movement disorders that is primarily directed toward the biochemical understanding of these disorders and their treatment. Each disor

Overview: May serve as the convenient introduction into intensively developing and interesting branches of contemporary nonlinear analysis, theory of differential equations and inclusions and control theory.TheThis book offers a self-contained introduction to the theory of guiding functions methods, which can be used to study the existence of periodic solutions and their bifurcations in ordinary differential equations, differential inclusions and in control theory. It starts with the basic concepts of nonlinear and multivalued analysis, describes the classical aspects of the method of guiding

Overview: Develops function theory in infinite-dimensional spaces with commutative multiplication.Develops function theory in finite-dimensional commutative algebras.Proposes a hypercomplex method for solving linThis monograph develops a theory of continuous and differentiable functions, called monogenic functions, in the sense of Gateaux functions taking values in some vector spaces with commutative multiplication. The study of these monogenic functions in various commutative algebras leads to a discovery of new ways of solving boundary value problems in mathematical physics..The book consists

Overview: In racent years the LSI technology has witnessed a revoluti­ onary development, and allowed substantial reductions in the size and cost of digital logic circuitry. Computer system building blocks have progressed from the level of discrete components to the level of complex ICs involving many logic circuits on a single "chip". The invention and wide applica­ tions of microprocessors have changed the philosophy of the signal processing, measurement and control engineering fields. The microprocessor-based digital signal processing systems and controllers have replaced the conventional o
