Overview: The centrally planned economies (CPEs) of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe have experienced severe imbalances in domestic and external markets over the past several decades. As a result, they have been chronically afflicted by problems such as excess demand, repressed inflation, deficits of commodities, queues, waiting lists, and forced savings. Economists have responded to these phenomena by developing appropriate theoretical and empirical models of CPEs. Of particular note have been the pioneering studies of Richard Portes on disequilibrium econometric models and Janos Kornai on

This TAL project was initiated by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, with the aim to improve the quality of mathematics education by providing a perspective on didactic goals and learning-teaching trajectories, and on the relationship between them..The focus of this book is on measurement and

Overview: In der ersten Auflage dieses Lehrbuchs im Jahre 1963 hieß es: "Die sich stürmisch entwickelnde Technik erfordert in der Ingenieur-Ausbildung und -praxis ein gediegenes mathematisches Wissen . . . Das Buch bemüht sich deshalb, als eine ,Mathematik für Ingenieure‘ das mathematische Rüstzeug immer in Verbin­ dung mit der Physik und den Anwendungen in der Technik zu vermitteln, es will die Brücke von der Mathematik zur Technik schlagen . . . " Diese Aussage gilt auch heute noch für die nunmehr vorliegende 8. Auflage, die grund­ legend neu bearbeitet wurde. Es wurde folgendes geändert: Im

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This book explains how to employ MASEM, the combination of meta-analysis (MA) and structural equation modelling (SEM). It shows how by using MASEM, a single model can be tested to explain the relationships between a set of variables in several studies. This book gives an introduction to MASEM, with a focus on the state of the art approach: the two stage approach of Cheung and Cheung & Chan. Both, the fixed and the random approach to MASEM are illustrated with two applications to real data. All steps that have to be taken to perform the analyses are di

Overview: Die Tagung, deren Beiträge in diesem Band vorgestellt werden, stand unter einer dreifachen Zielsetzung: Erstens sollte sie den Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern die Gelegenheit bieten, sich der Herausforderungen der Einwan­ derungsgesellschaft, d.h. der migrationsbedingten Anforderungen an die päd­ agogischen und sozialen Institutionen zu vergewissern. Damit sollten zwei­ tens Kriterien für die Reform der Institutionen formuliert und nach deren Maßgabe Defizite diskutiert werden. Drittens sollten aber auch positive Bei­ spiele vorgestellt werden, um Impulse für eine innovative Praxis z

Overview: Teaches the fundamentals and mathematical formulas of reversible transformations, as well as their applications.Highlights the wavelet transformation, which is the preferred transform for many practic.This book teaches the fundamentals and mathematical formulas of reversible transformations (or transforms) that are used in many source coding and signal processing systems. These mathematical transforms are often necessary or crucial toward reduction of data storage and transmission rate requirements. The author emphasizes the wavelet transform as it is the preferred transform for prac

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The process of metastasis formation is hugely complex, as described in the introductory chapter of this book, and this complexity has led us to compile two volumes of methods, from a vastly divergent background that attempts to encompass the whole spectrum of cancer biology. This first volume, Metastasis Research Protocols: Analysis of Cells and Tissues, concentrates on analysis and mapping of molecules produced by cells and tissues and analysis of the molecular biology underlying their expression, whereas the second volume, Metastasis Research Protoc

Overview: Presents the current applications of intelligent vision and sensing, especially in multispectral applications.Provides implementation and configuration details of the active vision camera system.Descr.This book provides a concise overview of intelligent technologies for vision and sensing, with a particular focus on their applications in various multispectral configurations, including safety monitoring in rural areas. Within the realm of intelligent perception and contemporary healthcare, the book emphasizes the real-time monitoring, analysis, and prediction of vital signals using bi

Overview: The concept ‘health‘ is ambiguous [18,9, 11]. The concept ‘mental health‘ is even more so. ‘Health‘ compasses senses of well-being, wholeness, and sound­ ness that mean more than the simple freedom from illness - a fact appreci­ ated in the World Health Organization‘s definition of health as more than the absence of disease or infirmity [7]. The wide range of viewpoints of the con­ tributors to this volume attests to the scope of issues placed under the rubric ‘mental health. ‘ These papers, presented at the Fourth Symposium on Philos­ ophy and Medicine, were written and discussed wi
