Overview: Describes the roles MRI can play in deep brain stimulation (DBS).Focuses on the established, as well as the innovative roles of MRI in DBS not covered elsewhere.Written by world renowned experts in DB.This book describes the roles magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can play in deep brain stimulation (DBS). DBS therapeutically modulates aberrant neural circuits implicated in a broad range of neurological disorders. Following surgical insertion, an electrode placed into the desired brain target generates constant electricity, analogous to a cardiac pacemaker. Most commonly employed in mo

Overview: The first monograph on extended state space and extended non-minimal state space approaches to model predictive control design.Introduces the multi-degree of freedom into the controller design of chem.This monograph introduces the authors’ work on model predictive control system design using extended state space and extended non-minimal state space approaches. It systematically describes model predictive control design for chemical processes, including the basic control algorithms, the extension to predictive functional control, constrained control, closed-loop system analysis, model

Overview: In 1981 Robotics Bibliography was published containing over 1,800 references on industrial robot research and development, culled from the scientific literature over the previous 12 years. It was felt that sensors for use with industrial robots merited a section and accordingly just over 200 papers were included. It is a sign of the increased research into sensors in production engineering that this bibliography on both the contact and non-contact forms has appeared less than three years after that first comprehensive collection of references appeared. In a reviell‘‘; in 1975 Profess

Several classical theorems are presented along with some very recent results. In particular, the text includes a product-space extension of the Rising Sun lemma, a product-space version of the John-Nirenberg inequality for  bounded mean oscillation (BMO) functions with sharp exponent, a refinement of the Gurov-Reshetnyak lemma, sharp embedding theorems for Muckenhoupt, Gurov-Reshetnyak, reverse Hölder, and Gehring classe

Overview: This book contains an exposition of the theory of meromorphic functions and linear series on a compact Riemann surface. Thus the main subject matter consists of holomorphic maps from a compact Riemann surface to complex projective space. Our emphasis is on families of meromorphic functions and holomorphic curves. Our approach is more geometric than algebraic along the lines of [Griffiths-Harrisl]. AIso, we have relied on the books [Namba] and [Arbarello-Cornalba-Griffiths-Harris] to agreat exten- nearly every result in Chapters 1 through 4 can be found in the union of these two books

Overview: Examines monogamy in Western cultures with a critical eye.Includes non-Western perspectives.Contextualizes the study of monogamy in the larger field of anthropology and anthropological methods and eth.This volume explores the forms of knowledge generated by exoticizing the subject studied. It analyzes monogamy in Western cultures from a cultural distance. First, from the cultural perspective of a Kenyan writer who underlines the moral evils unwittingly generated by a system imposing universal monogamy and generating annual cohorts of illegitimate children. Then, the essay considers t

Overview: 1.1. Geschichte der Massage Massage - dieser Begriff stammt entweder von dem griechülchen Wort "massein" oder "massev" und bedeutet kneten, reiben, betasten. Er wird in den europäischen und z. T. auch außereuropäischen Ländern seit Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts einheitlich angewendet. Nach Überlieferungen spielte die ::Iassage bereits im Altertum eine wichtige Rolle. Sie war bei den Chinesen, Japanern, Indern, Griechen und Römern bekannt. Erwähnt seien HIPPO­ KRATES (460-377 v. d. Z.) und ASKLEPIADES (128-56 v. d. Z.), die die Massage als wichtiges Heilmittel ansahen. Neben der Massage

Overview: Bei der Entwicklung von Software- und Informationssystemen werden verschiedene Aspekte von Struktur und Verhalten eines Systems modelliert. Dazu stehen unterschiedliche Modellierungssprachen zur Verfügung. Das Fachgebiet Modellierung befaßt sich mit derartigen Modellen sowie mit ihren Beziehungen untereinander und auch mit dem Prozeß der Modellerstellung. - Der Workshop Modellierung wird 1999 zum zweiten Mal von sieben Fachgruppen der Gesellschaft für Informatik veranstaltet. Dieser Tagungsband enthält 11 Fachbeiträge, die repräsentativ für die verschiedenen Aspekte des Themas Modell

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Any number of misconceptions about millenarians and messianism in the early modern period will be laid to rest by a reading of this volume. It is too often thought that millenarianism was largely an English phenomenon. One of the reasons for bringing these studies together is to show, as Martin Mulsow puts it, that we can understand this European-wide movement as a "millenarian international" in analogy with the later "socialist international". Another misconception is that millenarianism and messianism were a world apart from mainstream developments

Overview: Recent economic history suggests that a key element in economic growth and development for many countries has been an aggressive export policy and a complementary import policy. Such policies can be very effective provided that resources are used wisely to encourage exports from industries that can be com­ petitive in the international arena. Also, import protection must be used carefully so that it encourages infant industries instead of providing rents to industries that are not competitive. Policy makers may use a variety of methods of analysis in planning trade policy. As computi

Overview: they belong. Do communities have rights, indeed even an existence, which are not merely the hypostasis of the individual rights and existences collected in them? This conflict is then more striking as it was a conscious decision of the or­ ganizers of the workshop to focus attention on what might broadly be called liberal democracies: those societies which share a commitment to the princi­ ples of democratic participation, to the right of equal concern and respect of all members of the community, and to the basic liberties of association, ex­ pression, and thought. Ours was not the s
