Overview: Examines the issue of crisis management in emerging tourist destinations.Explores the use of new marketing concepts such as digital marketing, collaborative marketing, and green marketing.Provides a t.While tourism is a key economic generator for many countries, emerging economies are confronted with additional challenges that those well-established destinations in North America, Australia and Europe normally don’t have to contend with. The potential for terrorism, political unrest, natural disasters, accidents – not to mention epidemics – have the potential to derail tourism in emer

Overview: Addresses the influence of the Law of Moses on American national history, particularly U.S. Constitutional.Uncovers a rich, deep and diverse engagement with Islamic-Sharia Law within early American hi.This is the first comparative study of Mosaic and Islamic law in American history to be published. Constructing a complex picture in trans-Atlantic, trans-European and world historical perspectives, this book elucidates the intersections that lie beneath and behind the rise of the debates in the 1990s and 2000s over the promotion of the Ten Commandments and Mosaic Law as alleged sources

Overview: In this groundbreaking new volume, computer researchers discussthe development of technologies and specific systems that caninterpret data with respect to domain knowledge. Although the chapterseach illuminate different aspects of image interpretation, all utilizea common approach - one that asserts such interpretation mustinvolve perceptual learning in terms of automated knowledgeacquisition and application, as well as feedback and consistencychecks between encoding, feature extraction, and the known knowledgestructures in a given application domain. The text is profuselyillustrated

Overview: The millimetre and submillimetre spectral region (300 to 3000 Ilm or 1000 to 100 GHz) was until recently one of the few spectral regimes not fully opened up for astronomical studies. Thanks both to improvements in detectors and receivers and to the construction of large telescopes at high altitude sites this situation is improving very rapidly. Three major telescopes have been built recently and are coming into operation during 1987 and 1988, namely the 15m James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) and the lOAm Caltech Submillimetre Observatory (CSO) telescope, both located on Mauna Kea,

Overview: A color time-varying image can be described as a three-dimensional vector (representing the colors in an appropriate color space) defined on a three-dimensional spatiotemporal space. In conventional analog television a one-dimensional signal suitable for transmission over a communication channel is obtained by sampling the scene in the vertical and tem­ poral directions and by frequency-multiplexing the luminance and chrominance informa­ tion. In digital processing and transmission systems, sampling is applied in the horizontal direction, too, on a signal which has been already scann

Overview: Offers an on-the-ground perspective of what’s really happening in China today on the back of its recent economic rise.Calls for more cooperation between China and the West and a shift in the general a.Calling for more cooperation between China and the west, this new book by noted author and educator Cary Krosinsky provides readers with an on-the-ground perspective of what’s really happening in China today on the back of its recent economic rise, its desire and need to solve environmental challenges and the new positive dynamic created by its need for foreign capital. ..In doing so, K

Overview: Toward the Psychology of Malefaction This is a book about human wickedness. I would like to identify two obstacles in the path that this book seeks to traverse. One obstacle is an inappropriate scientism; the other is an inappropriate moralism. There is a kind of scientism that prevents us from seeing that human beings are responsible for what happens on the planet. It is a view that, in the name of science, downplays the role of human beings as agents in what takes place. This view is often expressed in a paradigm that regards human conduct as the "dependent variable," while anythin

Overview: This is the third volume in the series "Mathematics in Industrial Prob­ lems." The motivation for these volumes is to foster interaction between Industry and Mathematics at the "grass roots"; that is, at the level of spe­ cific problems. These problems come from Industry: they arise from models developed by the industrial scientists in ventures directed at the manufac­ ture of new or improved products. At the same time, these problems have the potential for mathematical challenge and novelty. To identify such problems, I have visited industries and had discussions with their scientis

Overview: Provides a clear explanation of the cause of spurious tones in digital delta-sigma modulators.Includes formulae to predict the positions of spurious tones Describes sample architectures to remove spurThis book describes several Digital Delta-Sigma Modulator (DDSM) architectures, including multi stage noise shaping (MASH), error feedback modulator (EFM) and single quantizer (SQ)-DDSM modulators, with a focus on predicting and maximizing their cycle lengths. The authors aim to demystify an important aspect of these particular DDSM structures, namely the existence of spurs resulting fro

Overview: The past decade has witnessed a revolution in the attempts of scientists to under­ stand the molecular basis of dementia. Although dementia, as defined by global cogni­ tive decline involving gradual loss of memory, reasoning, judgment, and orientation, presents most commonly in the form of Alzheimer‘s disease (AD), an assortment of other less common disorders, such as prion and Pick‘s disease, can also lead to symp­ toms that are similar to those observed in patients with AD. The primary goal of Molecular Mechanisms of Dementia is to address the various mechanisms and multi­ faceted

Overview: Eines der großen Ziele, an denen sich allgemeine Bildung ausrichtet, ist Gerechtigkeit. Werden Gerechtigkeitsfragen in Raum (lokal bis global) und Zeit ausgedehnt und soziale Kategorien mit der materiellen Umwelt verbunden, wird das Gebiet der nachhaltigen Entwicklung betreten. Entsprechende „Megatrends“ werden Gesellschaften gegenwärtig und in den nächsten Jahrzehnten herausfordern. So zentral es ist, Menschen durch Bildung in die Lage zu versetzen, die Zukunft auf Basis von Nachhaltigkeitsprinzipien mitzugestalten, so voraussetzungsreich ist diese Aufgabe. Beispielsweise birgt die

Overview: Twenty five years ago, Bill Stebbins presented the principles of animal psychophysics in an edited volume (Stebbins, 1970) describing an array of modem, creative methodologies for investigating the range of sensory systems in a variety of vertebrate species. These principles included precise stimulus control, a well defined behavioral response, and a rigorous behavioral procedure appropriate to the organism under study. As a generation of comparative sensory scientists applied these principles, our knowledge of sensory and perceptual function in a wide range of animal species has gro

Overview: Study in Psychology.Christian Lönneker systematically explores the phenomenon of magical thinking in the context of severe grief reactions focusing on intrusive forms reported by bereaved individuals seeking professional support. The author succeeds in proposing a comprehensive definition of magical thinking and a rationale for its association with grief based on various disciplines, such as psychology, anthropology, and the cognitive science of religion. Within the scope of a grounded theory study, case reports comprise themes like bringing the deceased back to life, the magical eff
