Overview: Michel Foucault pädagogisch gelesenMichel Foucault entwickelt sich gegenwärtig zweifellos zu einer der inspirierendsten Bezugsgrößen des pädagogischen Diskurses: Nachdem er innerhalb der deutschsprachigen Erziehungswissenschaft lange Zeit auf große Widerstände traf und heftige Reaktionen provozierte, werden nun seine materialgesättigten Untersuchungen der komplizierten Verflechtungen von Wissensformen, Machttypen und Subjektivierungspraktiken immer häufiger zum Anlass, neue Reflexionsformen zu erproben. Vor diesem Hintergrund präsentiert der vorliegende Sammelband grundlegende erzieh

Overview: In recent years, an ever-increasing amount of research has been conducted on the physico-chemical basis of the origin and evolution of life, or protobiology. Many questions are raised in this endeavor: What research methodology should be employed? What sort of dependable facts are available as a firm frame of reference upon which the physico-chemical origin of life or protolife could be examined? Is the origin due exclusively to chance events? If not, what is then responsible for the origin? What physical reality underlies the evolutionarily selective process leading to the origin? W

Overview: Provides a review of the mathematical modeling literature on distribution channels.Evaluates that literature, offering a significant analytical extension to the existing work.Addresses three central t.Mathematical Models of Distribution Channels. identifies eight "Channel Myths" that characterize almost all analytical research on distribution channels. The authors prove that models that incorporate one or more Channel Myths generate distorted conclusions; they also develop a methodology that will enable researchers to avoid falling under the influence of any Channel Myth. ..At the he

Overview: Is devoted entirely to Martin Davis, an eminent logician.Collects testimonials on Davis’ significant contributions to the field of logic.Testifies to the far-reaching influence of Davis’ work and visi.This book presents a set of historical recollections on the work of Martin Davis and his role in advancing our understanding of the connections between logic, computing, and unsolvability. The individual contributions touch on most of the core aspects of Davis’ work and set it in a contemporary context. They analyse, discuss and develop many of the ideas and concepts that Davis put forw

Overview: This volume is a collection of papers designed to increase awareness and utilization of fluctuation theory for the description of ionic events at the membrane. The papers are revised and updated versions of presentations made at a workshop entitled "Noise Measurements as a Probe of Ionic Conductance. " As a result of discussions held at that meeting, the participants were asked to provide selected chapters designed to provide detailed descriptions of the theory and its application to a number of membrane channels. Fluctuation theory was developed initially to explain statistical fluc

Overview: A comprehensive architecture including not only basic theories and new concepts but also practical technologies and applications.A set of new database techniques in modeling, indexing, querying and upWe live in an age of rapid technological development. The Internet already affects our lives in many ways. Indeed, we continue to depend more, and more intrinsically, on the Internet, which is increasingly becoming a fundamental piece of societal infrastructure, just as water supply, electricity grids, and transportation networks have been for a long time. But while these other infrastru

Overview: The 5th edition of this successful graduate textbook now covers not only quantum Monte Carlo methods but also classical methods.Authored by pioneers in the development of Monte Carlo simulations.Summa.Monte Carlo Simulation in Statistical Physics deals with the computer simulation of many-body systems in condensed-matter physics and related fields of physics, chemistry and beyond, to traffic flows, stock market fluctuations, etc.). Using random numbers generated by a computer, probability distributions are calculated, allowing the estimation of the thermodynamic properties of various

Overview: This monograph covers a broad spectrum of topics in the very broad field of gas phase molecular collision dynamics. The Introduction previews each of the four fol­ lowing topics and attempts to sew them together with a common thread. In addition, a brief review of quantum reactive scattering is given there along with some gen­ eral remarks which highlight the difficulties in doing quantum reactive scatter­ ing calculations. The chapters are all written by theoreticians who are, of course, experts in the subjects they have written about. Three chapters, the ones by Secrest, Schatz, an

Overview: Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within hirn. He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again. Job 20 : 14-15 Over the last few years, food poisoning and food safety have become very topical subjects, eliciting a great deal of public concern both in the UK and elsewhere. During tutorial sessions with medical students in the late 1980s, I found myself being asked to recommend appropriate textbooks on food poisoning. At that time, I had to admit that there were few books available on this topic, and none which I feit was designed to meet thei

Overview: Management hat die Aufgabe, zwischen Idee (Gestaltungsansprüche eines Unternehmens gegenüber seiner Umwelt) und Realität (Bedingungen, die die Verwirklichung dieser Ansprüche limitieren) zu vermitteln. Die Unvereinbarkeit dieser beiden Pole stellt das Management vor ein Orientierungsdilemma: Richtet es seine Entscheidungen eher an den Ansprüchen oder eher an den Bedingungen aus?..Michael Hülsmann begründet die Existenz des Dilemmas und belegt dessen ubiquitäre Evidenz. Er zeigt anhand ausgewählter Konzepte der Theorie der Unternehmung objektimmanente und konstruktionsbedingte Ursache

Overview: VII Foreword The retail financial services industry, especially the insurance industry, is undergoing fundamental changes. Prior to and in the aftermath of the deregulation of the insurance industry at the beginning of the 1990‘s, insurers have continued to focus more on stability and security rather than on efficiency and profitability. The capital market crisis, the deregulation, the gradual break-up of the traditionally integrated value chain coupled with the emergence of new players in the market as well technological advancements have all led to a fundamental shake-up of the fin
