Overview: This volume has its origin in the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Workshops on and Bayesian Methods in Applied Statistics", held at "Maximum-Entropy the University of Wyoming, August 5-8, 1985, and at Seattle University, August 5-8, 1986, and August 4-7, 1987. It was anticipated that the proceedings of these workshops would be combined, so most of the papers were not collected until after the seventh workshop. Because all of the papers in this volume are on foundations, it is believed that the con­ tents of this volume will be of lasting interest to the Bayesian community. The workshop was

Overview: Interdisciplinary approaches of historians working with charts, cartographers, geographers and computer scientists.Presentation of different methods of collecting urban historical data and the cartogrThis book is the product of an eponymous workshop, which took place in Erfurt in May, 2012, and which has since then been supplemented with four further contributions.

Overview: The volume aims at giving a comprehensive and up-to-date view of modern methods of analytical mechanics (general equations, invariant objects, stability and bifurcations) and their applications (rigid body dynamics, celestial mechanics, multibody systems etc.). The course is at an advanced level. It is designed for postgraduate students, research engineers and academics that are familiar with basic concepts of analytical dynamics and stability theory. Although the course deals with mechanical problems, most of the concepts and methods involved are equally applicated to general dynami

Overview: Written by experts, Gives a modern approach, Comprehensive in ScopeMeasuring competencies acquired over the course of higher education is an area of research that largely has been neglected. This deficit can be attributed to the complexity of academic competencies since the variety of institutions, programs, occupational fields and job requirements render it difficult to define and even harder to measure outcomes. Thus, assessing the preconditions for and effects of competency development is a challenge methodologically. In this book, a comprehensive review of the international state

Jansen in einer fundierten, übersichtlichen und leicht verständlichen Darstellung die wesentlichen Prozesse der Unternehmensakqusition und -kooperation aus strategischer, kapitalmarktth

Overview: are far from genetically ? xing what behavioral preferences they may possess. Instead, learning mechanisms offer a ? exible way of attaining locally important cultural knowledge within temporal windows of opportunity as has been convi- ingly shown by research in language and culture attainment. Similar mechanisms are likely to exist for other social capacities, such as mate preferences, for example. It is this role of our biological inheritance that social science must appreciate in order to furnish a more complete understanding of human behavior. Within the natural range of variatio

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-662-01955-9978-3-662-02251-1

Overview: .Die Herstellungsprozesse in der Fernsehproduktion sind von einer unüberschaubaren Anzahl unterschiedlicher Varianten geprägt. Verschiedene Produktionsformen, wie beispielsweise die Aktualität, Live-Events oder Fiktionales Programm, erfordern ein vielfältiges Zusammenspiel der Funktionsbereiche eines Fernsehproduktionsunternehmens. Für die Optimierung der Herstellungsprozesse müssen redaktionell steuernde, administrativ begleitende und technisch ausführende Prozesse in übergreifend vernetzten, integrierten Produktionssystemen eng miteinander verknüpft werden. Vor dem Hintergrund dies

Overview: This book examines marvels as tangible objects in the literary, courtly, and artisanal cultures of medieval England, but these clever devices, neither wholly semiotic nor purely positivist objects, are imbued with diverse cultural significance that illuminates in new ways the familiar literature of the Ricardian period.978-1-349-53502-6978-0-230-60564-0Series ISSN 2945-5936 Series E-ISSN 2945-5944

Overview: Transport phenomenain porous media are encounteredin various disciplines, e. g. , civil engineering, chemical engineering, reservoir engineering, agricul­ tural engineering and soil science. In these disciplines, problems are en­ countered in which various extensive quantities, e. g. , mass and heat, are transported through a porous material domain. Often, the void space of the porous material contains two or three fluid phases, and the various ex­ tensive quantities are transported simultaneously through the multiphase system. In all these disciplines, decisions related to a system‘

Overview: Mary Shelley‘s Early Novels seeks to redress the commonly held view that Mary Shelley was simply another mouthpiece for her husband, Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her most challenging and ambitious novels; Frankenstein, Valperga, and The Last Man, are examined in the light of her intellectual relationship with Percy Shelley. We see the way in which these novels reflect her gradual rejection of his radical tenets in an assertion of her own intellectual and ideological independence.978-1-349-11843-4978-1-349-11841-0
