Overview: This book interrogates our ideas about heterosexuality through examination of medieval romance narratives. Familiar configurations of romantic fiction such as male desire overwhelming feminine reluctance and the aloof masculine hero undone by love derive from this period. This book tests current theories of language and desire through stylistic analysis, examining transitivity choices and speech acts in sexual encounters and conversations in medieval romances. In the context of current preoccupations with gender and sexuality, and consent in rape cases, this study is of interest to s

Overview: Das Buch beschreibt eindrucksvoll den Einsatz internetbasierter Lernumgebungen, die mit einer Sequenz aufeinander abgestimmter Arbeitsaufträge strukturierte „Pfade“ durch interaktive Materialien anbie.Digitale Medien im Mathematikunterricht haben sich in den vergangenen Jahren rasant weiter entwickelt. Dieser Trend wird auch in den nächsten Jahren anhalten und das Arbeiten mit interaktiven Lernpfaden nimmt stetig zu.

Overview: Combines basic research with commercial applications so that the reader can understand the complete process of developing molecules that target mitochondria.Illustrates the role of mitochondria in cel.This book addresses the therapeutic strategies to target mitochondrial metabolism in diseases where the function of that organelle is compromised, and it discusses the effective strategies used to create mitochondrial-targeted agents that can become commercially available drug delivery platforms. The consistent growth of research focused in understanding the multifaceted role of mitocho

Overview: Purpose and Emphasis. Mechanics not only is the oldest branch of physics but was and still is the basis for all of theoretical physics. Quantum mechanics can hardly be understood, perhaps cannot even be formulated, without a good knowledge of general mechanics. Field theories such as electrodynamics borrow their formal framework and many of their building principles from mechanics. In short, throughout the many modem developments of physics where one fre­ quently turns back to the principles of c1assical mechanics its model character is feIt. For this reason it is not surprising that

Overview: Focuses the reader on algorithmic thinking and not on the learning of syntax.Emphasizes the foundations and ability to efficiently integrate and operate vectors and matrices.Demonstrates MATLAB as a p.This book is a self-guided tour of MATLAB for engineers and life scientists. It introduces the most commonly used programming techniques through biologically inspired examples. Although the text is written for undergraduates, graduate students and academics, as well as those in industry, will find value in learning MATLAB..The book takes the emphasis off of learning syntax so that the r

Overview: Provides a window onto current research and practise in modelling techniques and highlights their rising importance across the business, industrial and commercial sectors *.Contains contributions coveThis book gathers together research from three key application themes of modelling in operational research - modelling to support evaluation and change in organisations; modelling within the development and use of organisational information systems; and the use of modelling approaches to support, enable and enhance decision support in organisational contexts. The issues raised provide va

Overview: Applies and transfers state-of-the-art model-based software development to industrial application.Reports on experiences with model-based embedded systems development in application areas like automat.Embedded systems have long become essential in application areas in which human control is impossible or infeasible. The development of modern embedded systems is becoming increasingly difficult and challenging because of their overall system complexity, their tighter and cross-functional integration, the increasing requirements concerning safety and real-time behavior, and the need to

Overview: Neueste Erkenntnisse der Mobilitätsforschung.Aus unterschiedlichen Fachdisziplinen (BWL, Maschinenbau, Elektrotechnik, Stadtplanung, technische Logistik),.Vor allem bezogen auf das aktuelle Thema der Der Sammelband zum 12. Wissenschaftsforum Mobilität der Universität Duisburg-Essen untersucht das Rahmenthema „Making Connected Mobility Work“. Die Beiträge an den Schnittstellen der betriebswirtschaftlichen und ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Forschung geben dazu einen umfassenden Einblick und zeigen Möglichkeiten auf, wie Unternehmen sich auf die fortschreitende Vernetzung in der Mobilität

Overview: Das Mediensystem der Bundesrepublik Deutschland - aber auch das der meisten anderen westlichen Länder -erfährt zur Zeit weitreichende techno­ logische und ökonomische Veränderungen. Insbesondere im Bereich der elektronischen Medien ist es zu einem Wandel der strukturellen Rahmen­ bedingungen von Produktion und Distribution gekommen. Das Breitband­ kabelsystem und die Satellitentechnik haben die aufgrund der Frequenz­ knappheit bestehenden Zulassungsrestriktionen für Anbieter aufgehoben. Gleichzeitig wurden medienpolitisch die Weichen für ein duales Rundfunk­ system gestellt, das nebe

Overview: This book presents the verified design of a code generator translating a prototypic real-time programming language to an actual microprocessor, the Inmos Transputer. Unlike most other work on compiler verification, and with particular emphasis on modularity, it systematically covers correctness of translation down to actual machine code, a necessity in the area of safety-critical systems. The formal framework provided as well as the novel proof-engineering ideas incorporated in the verified code generator are also of relevance for software design in general.978-3-540-63406-5978-3-540

Overview: This is the seventh volume in the series "Mathematics in Industrial Prob­ lems. " The motivation for these volumes is to foster interaction between Industry and Mathematics at the "grass roots level;" that is, at the level of specific problems. These problems come from Industry: they arise from models developed by the industrial scientists in ventures directed at the manufacture of new or improved products. At the same time, these prob­ lems have the potential for mathematical challenge and novelty. To identify such problems, I have visited industries and had discussions with their s
