Overview: Uses inter- and trans-disciplinary methodologies to understand why the mass movement of people is both creative and potentially disruptive.Contributes to studies of migration and space by explaining hThis interdisciplinary collection of essays focuses on the ways in which movements of people across natural, political, and cultural boundaries shape identities that are inexorably linked to the geographical space that individuals on the move cross, inhabit, and leave behind. As conflicts over identities and space continue to erupt on a regular basis, this book reads the relationship bet

Overview: Dieses zweibändige Lehrwerk deckt den üblichen Mathematikstoff für sämtliche Ingenieurstudiengänge an Fachhochschulen ab. Der Lehrstoff wird erarbeitet, indem Werkzeuge der Computeralgebra mit durchgerechneten Anwendungsbeispielen aus der Technik kombiniert werden (etwa 300 pro Band). Abstrakte mathematische Begriffe werden anschaulich erklärt, auf Beweise wird größtenteils verzichtet. Für die numerische Bearbeitung vieler Problemstellungen dienen die angegebenen Algorithmen und Pascalprogramme. Auf der beiliegenden CD-ROM befinden sich neben Animationen auch die im Buch abgedruckten

Overview: This book offers a comprehensive study of the dynamics of civil-military relations in Pakistan. It asks how and why the Pakistan military has acquired such a salience in the polity and how it continues to influence decision-making on foreign and security policies and key domestic political, social and economic issues. It also examines the changes within the military, the impact of these changes on its disposition towards the state and society, and the implications for peace and security in nuclearized South Asia.978-1-349-42002-5978-0-230-59904-8

Overview: This volume is a record of the Workshop on Window Management held at the Ruth­ erford Appleton Laboratory‘s Cosener‘s House between 29 April and 1 May 1985. The main impetus for the Workshop came from the Alvey Programme‘s Man­ Machine Interface Director who was concerned at the lack of a formal definition of window management and the lack of focus for research activities in this area. Win­ dow Management per se is not the complete problem in understanding interaction. However, the appearance of bitmap displays from a variety of vendors enabling an operator to work simultaneously wit

Overview: Only book on the role of collision processes of molecules in plasmas..Includes supplementary material: .A variety of plasmas include molecules rather than only ions or atoms. Examples are ionospheres of the Earth and other planets, stellar atmospheres, gaseous discharges for use in various devices and processes, and fusion plasmas in the edge region. This book describes the role of molecules in those plasmas by showing elementary collision processes involving those molecules. All possible processes are presented both for electron and ion collisions with the molecules. On the basis of

Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) is an effective design method for large engineering systems like aircraft, warships, and satellites, which require designers and engineers from various disciplines to cooperate with

Overview: Covers important aspects of fetal anomalies (of important systems) besides normal findings in various gestational ages.Each chapter includes easy to follow radiological key points with plenty of image.This book presents the anatomy and MRI features of the normal fetus and describes the anomalies of each system in a systematic way. The normal fetal brain at different gestational ages is also extensively illustrated. It features a treasure of MR images illustrating several clinical conditions. Sonographic images, line diagrams and post-natal images are supplemented for easy learning. I

Overview: The Florida Everglades is perhaps the world’s most studied aquatic ecosystem with respect to the mercury problem.This book integrates over 30 years of research on mercury sources, biogeochemistry, bio.This book is the final installation in a three-volume series synthesizing 30 years of mercury research in the Florida Everglades. The first part of this book evaluates the occurrence of trends in both biota mercury concentrations and atmospheric mercury deposition.  Through both empirical and deterministic analyses, the likely drivers of biota trends are identified.  These analyses help

Overview: The papers included in this volume were presented at the Conference on .Mathematics of Program Construction. held from June 26 to 30, 1989. The conference was organized by the Department of Computing Science, Groningen University, The Netherlands, at the occasion of the University‘s 375th anniversary. The creative inspiration of the modern computer has led to the development of new mathematics, the mathematics of program construction. Initially concerned with the posterior verification of computer programs, the mathematics have now matured to the point where they are actively being u

Overview: The German edition of our book entitled "Operative Frakturen­ behandlung" by M. E. MÜLLER, M. ALLGÖWER and H. WILLENEGGER (Springer, Berlin . Göttingen . Heidelberg, 1963) has been out of print now for more than three years. We are planning a new edition which will deal with the collective experience of 14,000 new cases, all treated by internal fixation, and will include the newest developments in the field of internal fixa­ tion. However, it will be some time before this new edition can be published. Increasing demands for a description of the AO technique of internal fixation has s
