Overview: When I began to write this book, I originally had in mind the needs of university students in their first year. May aim was to keep the mathematics simple. No advanced techniques are used and there are no complicated applications. The emphasis is on an understanding of the basic ideas and problems which require expertise but do not contribute to this understanding are not discussed. How­ ever, the presentation is more sophisticated than might be considered appropri­ ate for someone with no previous knowledge of the subject so that, although it is developed from the beginning, some pr

Overview: Becomes the first scholarly book to examines the refugee crisis in Finland, providing a crucial new perspective on this crisis.Combines perspectives on migration from the dominant and minority culture.This book combines various theoretical approaches to explore how Finland and its people responded to the European Union (EU) refugee crisis. Combining interviews with Finns, voluntary migrants to Finland and refugees in Finland, the text presents differing perspectives on migration in this country. Key themes addressed in the text include the extent to which the different groups perceiv

Overview: Numerical weather prediction on the one hand needs a very large number of floating point calculations, but on the other hand is very time-critical. Therefore, the largest computers available, i.e., the "supercomputers", have usually been acquired by the national meteorological services long before they were used in other fields of research or business. Since the available technology limits the speed of any single computer, parallel computations have become necessary to achieve further improvements in the number of results produced per time unit. This book collects the papers presente

Overview: Ein wesentlicher Grund für das Scheitern von Beratungsprojekten liegt im Verhalten der Mitarbeiter des beratenen Unternehmens. Um den Widerstand der Mitarbeiter zu überwinden und sie in den Beratungsprozeß zu involvieren, muß die Analyse und Steuerung des Mitarbeiterverhaltens konkreten Anforderungen genügen.Stephanie Weiershäuser analysiert die Delegations- und Kooperationsprobleme, die sich aus dem Mitarbeiterverhalten ergeben, aus rein ökonomischer Perspektive. Dabei bedient sich die Autorin der Agenturtheorie (Agency Theory), die als mikroökonomisches Analyseinstrument eine ergeb

Overview: The Ninth International Conference on Methods in Protein Sequence Analysis was held for the first time in Asia from September 20 to September 24, 1992 in Otsu (a city near Kyoto), Japan. Approximately 400 delegates attended the meeting. Forty papers were presented orally and 147 poster presentations were discussed. Academic sessions were held from early in the morning until late in the evening. We are confident that the Conference was successful in providing up-to-date information about methods in protein sequence analysis to all participants. Moreover, with the knowledge and underst
