Overview: Provides an up-to-date overview of the impact of mobility practices on contemporary cities.Explains the value of mobile phone data in improving knowledge of urban dynamics.Describes policy implicationThis book explains the potential value of using mobile phone data to monitor urban practices and identify rhythms of use in today’s cities. Drawing upon research conducted in the Italian region of Lombardy, the authors demonstrate how maps based on mobile phone data, which are better tailored to the dynamic processes at work in cities, can document urban practices, provide new insights i

Overview: Presents a comprehensive approach to analyze and increase the energy and resource efficiency of machining systems.Provides specific models for machining system elements that consider the effect of proThis book provides a concept to analyze and increase the energy and resource efficiency of machining systems. Machining systems are widely used to produce workpieces in large quantities and with complex geometrical shapes. These systems, however, are also relevant in terms of energy and resource consumption, which is strongly connected to the choice of cutting fluid strategy. Within the

The book focuses on techniques that are based on global optimization and electromagnetic numerical methods. The authors provide parallelization techniques on homogeneous and heterogeneous computing architectures on high performance and general purpose futuri

Overview: /.letallography is much more than taking striking pictures at high magnifications or polishing and etching specimens in such a way that no scratches can be seen. Basically, metallography is the physical metallurgist‘s most useful and most used tool for studying metals. Although it is perhaps his oldest tool, it certainly is not likely to become obsolete. Rather, the continued demands that have been placed upon materials have required more detailed charac­ terizations of their microstructures and this, in turn, has re­ quired the metallographer to develop new techniques to make these

Overview: Presents a self-contained introduction to conflict modeling.Provides novel concepts which are broadly applicable.Contains supplementary material, e.g. code and data sets.Written by experts in the fielThis authored monograph presents the use of dynamic spatiotemporal modeling tools for the identification of complex underlying processes in conflict, such as diffusion, relocation, heterogeneous escalation, and volatility. The authors use ideas from statistics, signal processing, and ecology, and provide a predictive framework which is able to assimilate data and give confidence estimate

Overview: With the growth of modern computing power it has become possible to apply far more mathematics to real problems. This has led to the difficulty that many people who have been working in various jobs suddenly find themselves not understanding the modern processing which is being applied to their own professional field. It also means that the people presently being trained in these subjects need to understand a much wider range of mathe­ matics than in the past. It is to both of these groups that this book is addressed. The major objective is to present the reader with the basic mathem

Overview: The fourth course of the International School on Physics with Low Energy Antiprotons was held in Erice, Sicily, at the Ettore Majorana Centre for Scientific Culture from 25 to 31 January, 1990. The previous courses covered topics related to fundamental symmetries, light and heavy quark spectroscopy, and antiproton-nucleus interactions. The purpose of this school is to review theoretical and experimental aspects of low energy antiproton physics concerning the quark-gluon structure of hadrons and the dynamics of the. antiproton-nucleon interaction. Another important objective is the di

Overview: Begriffe und Grundideen der Pflege im Kontext der Individualisierung.Unterschiedliche Fallbeispiele und Perspektiven aus der Pflegepraxis.Handlungsorientierung durch partizipative Prozesse im Pflegeal.In einer sich stetig wandelnden (Migrations-)Gesellschaft kommen immer mehr Menschen mit unterschiedlichen kulturellen Prägungen in ein Alter, in dem Pflege notwendig wird. Diversität und Migration prägen ebenso das Feld der Pflegenden. Die steigende Diversität in Pflegesituationen verändert Theorie und Praxis der Pflege. Wie wirkt sich das in Deutschland insgesamt aus? Was müssen Pfleg

Overview: This volume is an outgrowth of the Second International Workshop on Macroscopic Quantum Coherence and Computing held in Napoli, Italy, in June 2000. This workshop gathered a number of experts from the major Universities and Research Institutions of several countries. The choice of the location, which recognizes the role and the traditions of Naples in this field, guaranteed the participants a stimulating atmosphere. The aim of the workshop has been to report on the recent theoretical and experimental results on the macroscopic quantum coherence of macroscopic systems. Particular atte

Overview: Pursues implications of the recent groundbreaking evidence for existence of neutrino oscillations from the experimental study of atmospheric and solar neutrinos.Nominated as an outstanding contributio.This innovative work investigated two models where the muonium-antimuonium oscillation process was mediated by massive Majorana neutrinos and sneutrinos. First, we modified the Standard Model only by the inclusion of singlet right-handed neutrinos and allowing for general renormalizable interactions producing neutrino masses and mixing. The see-saw mechanism was employed to explain the

Sie zeigt, inwelcher Weise diese Mediengattung versucht, die Legitimation der öffentlichenSelbstdarstellung von Prominenten zu überprüfen und das Geheimnis von derenauthentischer Persönlichkeit zu lüften.

Overview: Digitalisierte Arbeitsprozesse und virtuelle Arbeitswelt mögen zunächst als Trends verstanden worden sein, mittlerweile prägen sie im Verbund mit dem Begriff New Work eine Art Arbeitsformat. Die Loslösung von der physischen Präsenz und der Verzicht auf die Beobachtbarkeit der Leistungserbringung hat einen tiefgreifenden Wandel bis hin in die Teamarbeit nach sich gezogen. Teamführung in virtuellen Arbeitswelten oder bei mobiler Arbeit ist etwas anderes, als mal eben eine Teambesprechung auf dem Flur abzuhalten. Alle müssen sich auf das Neue einlassen, die Möglichkeiten erkennen und an

Using pertinent quotations from a wide variety of sources, the book is divided into three main parts. Firstly, it explores interpretations of the concept of friendship, tracing its use from the Ancient Greek and Roman philosophical works, through to modern and postmodern p

Overview: This work originated in a series of lectures on meson and baryon ex­ cited states which I gave at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in the fall of 1962. The notes of these lectures were issued as a Stanford Uni­ versity report (SLAC-13) in March, 1963. In the fall of 1963, I gave a revised set of lectures on meson and baryon spectroscopy at Indiana University. In both cases, the talks were given primarily for experi­ mental physicists. In preparing the notes of these talks for pUblication, I have added some introductory material on pions, nucleons, kaons, and hyperons. My main e
