Overview: This monograph is about the multi regional input-output model used in long-run simulation. The input-output technique was originally developed for spaceless, short-term analysis of a national economy. However, its high potential as an analytical tool has resulted in an expansion of its application in various directions. Thus, we now have the inter- and mul tiregional input-output model, in which a nation is broken down into a number of interacting regions, and some applications dealing with long-range projections of input-output systems. This study attempts to integrate those two dir

Overview: This book argues that today we live in the culture of the past that delimits our world and configures our potentialities. It explores how the past invades our presents and investigates the affective uses of the past in the increasingly elusive present. Remembering and forgetting are part of everyday life, popular culture, politics, ideologies and mythologies. In the time of the ubiquitous digital media, the ways individuals and collectivities re-presence their pasts and how they think about the present and the future have undergone significant changes.  The book focuses on affective

Overview: Charts the last 40 years of American history and the impact of free market policies upon it.Combines economic understanding with rhetorical analysis to highlight how neoliberal policies were sold.Expl.This book explores the American freemarket economy, espoused by Alan Greenspan, the longtime chairman of the Federal Reserve, through decoding the discourse of economics. Combining an analysis of both economics and language, the legacy of Reaganomics is examined in relation to economic inequality, fiscal policy, public discourse, and the moral economy. How notions of easy money, conspic

Overview: Neues MethodenspektrumDie Klientel der Sozialen Arbeit braucht vielerlei Hilfen, bei ihrer Lebensführung etwa, bei den Familienbeziehungen, bei der Sicherstellung ihres Lebensunterhalts, bei der Gestaltung ihrer sozialen Kontakte, bei Rechtsproblemen, bei der Erz- hung ihrer Kinder usw. Und da sie nicht auf Dauer von diesen Hilfen abhängig bleiben soll, muss sie – neben anderem – lernen. Deshalb müssen Studierende der Sozialen Arbeit – neben vielem anderen – Kenntnisse in Erziehungswissenschaft erwerben. Die ihnen das beibringen sollen und wollen, die Dozenten und Profes- ren, stehen

Overview: First book to examine the influence that sixteenth-century and early seventeenth-century mathematical thinking exerted on the writing and production of early modern drama.Examines how how the terms, cThis book considers the influence that sixteenth-century and early seventeenth-century mathematical thinking exerted on the writing and production of popular drama between about 1587 and 1603. It concentrates upon six plays by five early modern dramatists: .Tamburlaine, Part 1. (1587) and .Tamburlaine, Part 2. (1587) by Christopher Marlowe; .Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay. (1589) by Robert

Overview: Die wichtigsten Darmerkrankungen neben den Tumoren: Wissen Sie genug, um sie immer erkennen zu können?.Praxisbezogen und fundiert können Sie hier alles über Morbus Crohn und Colitis ulcerosa nachlesen: Grundlagen, Klinik, Diagnostik und Therapie!.Zentrale Probleme sind die frühzeitige Diagnose und die Therapie bei den oft noch jungen Patienten. Aktuelle entzündungshemmende Medikamente helfen häufig weiter, auch als Teil einer Kombinationstherapie. Gelingt es mit dieser Strategie nicht, die Krankheit zu beherrschen, hilft nur noch eine Operation. Die Indikationsstellung zum richtigen

Overview: Rapid advances in molecular biology have accelerated the production of a great number of protein-based therapeutic agents. The major cost in producing these proteins appears to be associated with their purification from the complex mixture of the crude extract. A major challenge to the protein biochemist and the biochemical engineer is the development of rapid, efficient, and cost-effective purification systems. This volume presents state-of-the-art reviews of current methods used in the purifica­ tion of biological macromolecules that are based on molecular interactions. Thus, the m

Overview: Latest research on Modeling and Control of Dialysis Systems.Focusing on Biofeedback Systems and Soft Computing Techniques of Dialysis.Written by leading experts in the field.This book is the first text of its kind that presents both the traditional and the modern aspects of dialysis modeling and control in a clear, insightful and highly comprehensive writing style. It provides an in-depth analysis of the mathematical models and algorithms, and demonstrates their applications in real world problems of significant complexity. It explains concepts in a clear, matter-of-fact style. The m

Overview: Explicitly scrutinizes the relations between governance and material school design.Suggests various methodological and theoretical approaches.Addresses the dynamic interconnections between past, prese.This book brings together the notions of material school design and educational governance in the first such text to address this critical interrelationship in any depth. In addressing the issue of governance through analysing current and historical material school designs, it looks at the intersection of politics, economics, aesthetics and pedagogical ideas and practices. More specific

Overview: Homological algebra first arose as a language for describing topological prospects of geometrical objects. As with every successful language it quickly expanded its coverage and semantics, and its contemporary applications are many and diverse. This modern approach to homological algebra, by two leading writers in the field, is based on the systematic use of the language and ideas of derived categories and derived functors. Relations with standard cohomology theory (sheaf cohomology, spectral sequences, etc.) are described. In most cases complete proofs are given. Basic concepts and

Overview: Direktvertriebe und Multi-Level-Marketing Unternehmen sind in Deutschland bisher wissenschaftlich wenig beachtet worden. Dies ist erstaunlich, nicht nur weil sie trotz eines strittigen Rufes zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnen, sondern auch, weil es sich um ungewöhnliche Organisationen handelt: Ihre Außendienstmitglieder sind rechtlich selbständig, so dass zentrale Merkmale klassischer Organisationen wie ein hierarchischer Aufbau mit der dazugehörenden Weisungsbefugnis von F- rungskräften oder ein Arbeitsvertrag, der das Verhältnis von Arbeitnehmern und Arbeitgebern maßgeblich reguliert,

Overview: Deep-sea manganese nodules, once an obscure scientific curios­ ity, have, in the brief span of two decades, become a potential mineral resource of major importance. Nodules that cover the sea floor of the tropical North Pacific may represent a vast ore de­ posit of manganese, nickel, cobalt, and copper. Modern technology has apparently surmounted the incredible problem of recovering nodules in water depths of 5000 meters and the extraction of metals from the complex chemical nodule matrix is a reality. Both the recovery and the extraction appear to be economically feasible. Exploitat

Overview: Few individuals can be unmoved by the impact of molecular biology. Advances in the discipline over four decades have progressed at a rate unrivalled in other scientific areas. In its formative years, molecular biology examined the chemical and physical structures of biological molecules, subsequently elucidated the nature and function of DNA and evolved into molecular genetics. From this exponential growth of scientific knowledge, tremendous opportunities were created for the application of molecular approaches to solve problems in applied biology. This book describes the new product
