Overview: The first synthesis of mudflat ecology ‘from the mud up’, starting with the geological foundations, and culminating in the exploitation of mudflat goods and services.Extensive information on data acqu.Intertidal mudflats are distinct, highly-productive marine habitats which provide important ecosystem services to the land-sea interface. In contrast to other marine habitats, and despite a large body of primary scientific literature, no comprehensive synthesis exists, such that the scattered knowledge base lacks an integrated conceptual framework. We attempt to provide this synthesis b

Overview: Zur Bestimmung risikoadäquater Preise für ausfallbedrohte Finanztitel eignen sich Modelle, die unter der Annahme der Arbitragefreiheit eine präferenzfreie Bewertung ermöglichen. Allerdings weichen die bislang entwickelten Ansätze hinsichtlich der Bewertungsidee und des notwendigen Dateninputs von einander ab...Peter Grundke untersucht, inwieweit sich die Bewertungsergebnisse, die in den vorliegenden Modellansätzen generiert werden, in Bezug auf Höhe und Sensitivität gegenüber Einflussfaktoren unterscheiden. Ein weiterer Fokus liegt auf der Analyse ratingbasierter Bewertungsmodelle. A

Overview: In de moderne geneeskunde is het inzicht steeds belangrijker geworden dat gezond blijven, ziek worden, chronisch ziek zijn en al dan niet weer beter worden niet uitsluitend worden bepaald door (bio)medische factoren. Ook gedrag speelt hierbij een rol van belang. Gezondheidsgedrag, ziektegedrag en communicatie in de medische praktijk zijn dan ook belangrijke thema"s voor (aanstaande) artsen.Medische psychologie geeft een helder overzicht van de kernthema‘s uit de medische psychologie. Het boek is ingedeeld in vier domeinen van het vak: Gedrag en gezondheid, Gedrag en ziekte, Interacti

Overview: The clinical use of nuclear cardiology for the assessment of myocardial ischemia continues to grow at an unprecedented rate. Part of the reason for this growth is the technical advances in single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT). SPECT has been shown to provide high contrast images superior to planar imaging techniques. An important and recent technical advancement in SPECT has been ECG-gated myocardial perfusion SPECT to generate simultaneous myocardial perfusion and function information from a single study. Automated, quantitative techniques have facilitated the wide

Overview: Ein neues Bild der Aufklärung.Theorien der Aufklärung als Ansätze zur Lösung heutiger Probleme.Kritische Aktualisierung der Perspektiven Kants, Rousseaus, Voltaires und Humes.Mit den Menschen der Aufklärung verbindet uns die gemeinsame Erfahrung tiefgreifender technischer, sozialer und kultureller Umbrüche.

Overview: Formulates and demonstrates novel extensions of standard methods for modeling correlated outcomes.Addresses linear, Poisson, logistic, exponential, multinomial, ordinal, and discrete regression.CoversThis book formulates methods for modeling continuous and categorical correlated outcomes that extend the commonly used methods: generalized estimating equations (GEE) and linear mixed modeling. Partially modified GEE adds estimating equations for variance/dispersion parameters to the standard GEE estimating equations for the mean parameters. Fully modified GEE provides alternate estimati

Overview: Considers in detail all aspects of molecular imaging in oncology, ranging from basic research to clinical applications in the era of evidence-based medicine.Examines technological issues and probe des.The impact of molecular imaging on diagnostics, therapy, and follow-up in oncology is increasing steadily. Many innovative molecular imaging probes have already entered clinical practice, and there is no doubt that the future emphasis will be on multimodality imaging in which morphological, functional, and molecular imaging techniques are combined in a single clinical investigation. Thi

Overview: Textbook and professional reference for a cross-disciplinary audience of students and researchers concerned with instrumentation and measurement (applied mathematicians, engineers, computer scientistsIt is widely recognized, by the scienti?c and technical community that m- surements are the bridge between the empiric world and that of the abstract concepts and knowledge. In fact, measurements provide us the quantitative knowledge about things and phenomena. It is also widely recognized that the measurement result is capable of p- viding only incomplete information about the actual va

Overview: This book provides an in-depth investigation of the concept of space power and devises a novel conceptual framework for empirically measuring and comparing different typologies of space actors on the basis of clearly defined criteria. In turn, the book identifies a comprehensive set of conditions required to achieve and maintain the status of space power and explores the main political, security, and socio-economic stakes involved. Building on this basis, the book conducts a comparative assessment of the major space actors, the underlying aim of which is to examine Europe’s relative
