Overview: Wer sich in der Ausbildung, im Beruf oder als Amateur mit Mikrocomputern und damit auch mit Mikroprozessoren befaßt, steht vor zwei Problemen: Problem 1: Die sehr große Verzahnung der vom Ursprung her wesensfremden Gebiete hardware und software. Problem 2: Das unübersichtliche, ungenormte Nebeneinander vieler Computersysteme. Dieses einführende Lehrbuch begegnet diesen Problemen mit einer Konzeption, wie sie so konsequent unseres Wissens bisher noch nicht verwirklicht wurde: Das Buch behandelt hard- und software gleichwertig von den Grundlagen her auf­ bauend. Dies wurde dadurch mögl

Overview: The aim of this book is to provide a guide to a rich and fascinating subject: algebraic curves, and how they vary in families. The revolution that the field of algebraic geometry has undergone with the introduction of schemes, together with new ideas, techniques and viewpoints introduced by Mumford and others, have made it possible for us to understand the behavior of curves in ways that simply were not possible a half-century ago. This in turn has led, over the last few decades, to a burst of activity in the area, resolving longstanding problems and generating new and unforeseen res

Overview: This book explores the impact of foreign migrant workers on elements of sovereign power in Japan and examines how the country‘s immigration control has been reshaped by the existence of these workers. It traces the changing situation of foreign migrant workers in Japan from the mid 1980s to the present day. A particular focus is the transition of these workers from ‘temporary workers‘ to ‘long-term stayers‘ or ‘social beings‘.978-1-349-42226-5978-0-230-28825-6

Overview: In recent decades natural, technological and other disasters have been increasing in frequency and magnitude, and the involvement of international organizations and professionals from different disciplines has been growing in parallel. By definition major emergencies call for outside aid and often international assistance. The many agencies and individual helpers from different countries, different languages and different specialties converge on the stricken site with the sole object of helping the victims, who are themselves of a different background and language. Communication amon

Overview: There exists a large variety of image reconstruction methods proposed by different authors (see e. g. Pratt (1978), Rosenfeld and Kak (1982), Marr (1982)). Selection of an appropriate method for a specific problem in image analysis has been always considered as an art. How to find the image reconstruction method which is optimal in some sense? In this book we give an answer to this question using the asymptotic minimax approach in the spirit of Ibragimov and Khasminskii (1980a,b, 1981, 1982), Bretagnolle and Huber (1979), Stone (1980, 1982). We assume that the image belongs to a cert

Overview: Provides an up-to-date systematic review on the effects of slowly absorbed isomaltulose on postprandial glucose metabolism in humans including healthy probands, impaired glucosetolerant subjects, as wThis SpringerBrief focuses on clinical nutrition research, particularly on the effects of slowly absorbed carbohydrates on postprandial glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetes. Slowlyabsorbed carbohydrates will cause gradual increases in blood glucose and insulin levels, and may therefore be effective as part of a treatment strategy for glycemic control and reduction of cardiovascular comp

Overview: Primary myocardial disease, nowadays referred to as congestive or, more re­ cently, dilating cardiomyopathy, comprises disorders of varied etiology. Most oftenly the pathogenetic mechanism or causative agent remains unknown. The significance of inflammatory processes, i.e. myocarditis in a wider sense as the etiologic factor has been debated for many years. In a few instances, especially in children and newborns viral infections can be incriminated. In adults this etiology can be ascertained only in rare instances. And it has remained entirely uncertain if, or under which circumstanc

Overview: Tauchert‘s book revisits the work of feminist icon Mary Wollstonecraft to offer new readings which are both astute and adventurous. It demands that we leave behind the baggage of years of argument over whether or not Wollstonecraft is feminist and instead offers a Wollstonecraft whose work intervenes in the formation of ‘womanhood‘, and as such is both valuable and timely. Giving a comprehensive account of her work, Tauchert makes a significant addition to current theories of feminine writing through her analysis of Wollstonecraft‘s techniques.978-1-349-42759-8978-0-230-28735-8

Overview: Es ist bis heute kaum ins Bewusstsein der Öffentlichkeit gelangt, dass mehr als eine halbe Millionen Menschen in den 1950er und 1960erJahre vom Westen in den Osten des geteilten Deutschland abwanderten.
