Overview: Advances in technology are demanding ever-increasing masteryover the materials being used: the challenge is to gain a betterunderstanding of their behaviour, and more particularly of therelations between their microstructure and their macroscopicproperties. This two-volume work, of which this is the first volume,aims to provide the means by which this challenge may be met. Startingfrom the mechanics of deformation, it develops the laws governingmacroscopic behaviour - expressed as the constitutive equations- always taking account of the physical phenomena whichunderlie rheological be

Overview: Am Anfang des Physikstudiums:nötigt wird. Wenn man ehrlich ist und keine Vogel-Strauß-Mentalität bevorzugt: Solange die übungen zum Selbsttest nicht als einfach und leicht empfunden werden, ist das angestrebte Studienziel noch nicht erreicht. Man befrage Tutoren, Assistenten, Professoren und gebe nicht auf! Der schließlich erworbene ,,mathematische Frei­ schwimmer" wird die Grundlage für die kommenden Studienjahre sein. Der vorgelexte Text ist bewußt aue h unter didaktischen Gesichtspunkten konzi­ piert worden. Daher sei schon hier eine erste Aufgabe zum Nachdenken gestellt: Der Lese

Overview: Alcohol abuse throughout the world is associated with serious social and medical implications. Problems such as intoxication, tol­ erance, and development of physical dependence have been well recognized. The central nervous system and the liver are especially affected. There is little doubt that alcohol abuse can result in organ damage, which in turn leads to deleterious health consequences to the individual. Understanding ethanol action presents a special and functional diver­ challenge because of its molecular simplicity sity. In fact, the ability for alcohol to disrupt cellular f

Overview: Since World War II, the United States has done much to support economic, political, and social development in the Third World. At the same time, its policies toward developing nations often reflect an overly narrow conception of national and global security in which the influences of the modernization process seem scarcely to have been taken into account. Both strains in US policy are mirrored in strong academic traditions upon which policy-makers have drawn liberally in the postwar years. Developmentalists and security scholars alike will find much that is familiar in the case studi

Overview: This volume Macromolecular Engineering: Recent Advances has been developed based on the 1 st International Conference on "Advanced Polymers Via Macromolecular Engineering" (APME ‘95), June 24-29, 1995 at the Vassar College campus, Poughkeepsie, New York. In APME ‘95, 100 oral and over 50 poster presentations are to be delivered from scientists around the globe. The scientific program covers recent advances in macromolecu­ lar engineering. It is our vision that the knowledge of the past and the promise of the future are blended together in APME ‘95 to enrich and stimulate the scientis

Overview: Over the last two decades, the search for a compact, high-power semiconductor source has produced many designs and concepts for monolithic diode-laser arrays and optical amplifiers. However, only a few design approaches have emerged with the potential for producing high-power, high-brightness monolithic sources. Although semiconductor-diode lasers are the most compact, highest gain and most efficient laser sources, challenges remain in developing structures that will produce high-quality, diffraction-limited output beams. This book presents and analyzes the results of work performed

Overview: Includes contributions by major scholars of the sociology of leisure.Provides historical and contemporary perspectives on leisure practices.Provides a unique comparative lens to the understanding of lThis volume addresses the rich and varied thoughts, concepts, approaches and leisure practices in sixteen countries of three continents---Australia, Asia and Africa. The chapters showcase the diversity in the forms and ways in which the idea and practice of leisure have developed across space and time. However, the common thread through the chapters is that concepts and practices of leis

Overview: Provides all relevant information for a successful and efficient use of market research panels.Includes evaluation tools.Provides examples for application of diverse types of panels.One of the most important tasks of market research is to read market developments in such a way that one‘s own company can use them for its own purposes. Companies that fail to sound out the market quickly fall behind. To prevent this, panel data is being consulted in more and more industries. This book shows students and practitioners how to use panels to conduct market and product analyses. Among others

Overview: Viele bedeutende Errungenschaften der modernen Biologie sind erst nach Erfindung und Anwendung von leistungsfähigen Methoden möglich geworden. Man kann zwar nicht sagen, daß wir in einem "Zeitalter der Methoden" leben, aber jeder Schritt zur Lösung eines wichtigen biologischen Problems mußte und muß durch die Entwicklung einer geeigneten Methode vorbereitet werden. Es gibt nicht viele "klassische" Verfahren, die sich in der physiologisch-chemischen Forschung erhalten haben. Physik und Chemie entdecken immer wieder spezi­ fische, genauere und bequemere analytische Möglichkeiten, die v
