Overview: Draws together the research strands of natural disasters, individual behaviour and the demand for microinsurance.Demonstrates the importance of insurance as a disaster risk management instrument.Uniqu.This study investigates the complex link between natural disasters, individual behaviour – in the form of an individual’s risk-taking propensity and level of trust – and the demand for microinsurance. Developing countries are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of natural hazards and climate change as they affect their development processes and set back poverty reduction efforts. Usi

Development of new agents to combat this threat is one of the WHO‘s top priorities, but

Overview: After 20 years of intensive effort, novel neuropeptides continue to be discovered, and the field of neuropeptide research is still expanding. As new analytical techniques become available, their applicability to the study of neu­ ropeptides brings fresh insights into the properties and functions of these ubiq­ uitous chemical messengers. Presented in this single volume, Neuropeptide Protocols, are 33 chapters covering these new techniques, together with more established methods. Each contributor is actively engaged in neuropeptide research and so brings to his or her description an a

Overview: Includes supplementary material: A critical review of the classic, as wells as most recent-and quite seminal-findings concerning the phenotypic and molecular characteristics of both fetal and neonatal B and T cells, the cells that mediate antibody and cellular immune responses in newborns and infants. Dr. Bona shows how the antibody response of neonates is modulated by maternal antibodies and how, in certain cases, this can cause transient or life-threatening neonatal autoimmune disease. He also describes the characteristics of neonatal tolerance induced by foreign allo- and self-ant

Overview: Establishes a close link between treatment of irreversible phenomena in statistical mechanics and the theory of chaotic systems of on setting turbulence as developed by Sinai, Ruelle, Bowen.Enriched w.This book concentrates on the properties of the stationary states in chaotic systems of particles or fluids, leaving aside the theory of the way they can be reached. The stationary states of particles or of fluids (understood as probability distributions on microscopic configurations or on the fields describing continua) have received important new ideas and data from numerical simulati

Overview: New Institutional Arrangements for the World Economy Hans-Jiirgen Vosgerau, Konstanz I. The Problem During the first days of July 1987 the newly established Sonderforschungs­ bereich 178 "Internationalisierung der Wirtschaft" held its first symposium in Konstanz/Bodensee. "New Institutional Arrangements for the World Economy" were discussed by a group of economists and lawyers working in the fields of interna­ tional trade, international monetary economics, international finance, international public choice, and international economic law. Cooperation between these areas of research

Overview: Step-by-step guide to solving Nonlinear Inverse Problems with Least Square methods.Contains a geometric theory to analyze Wellposedness and Optimizability.Detailed analysis of practical issues when soThe domain of inverse problems has experienced a rapid expansion, driven by the increase in computing power and the progress in numerical modeling. When I started working on this domain years ago, I became somehow fr- tratedtoseethatmyfriendsworkingonmodelingwhereproducingexistence, uniqueness, and stability results for the solution of their equations, but that I was most of the time lim

Overview: Einsatzmöglichkeiten des Neuromonitorings in der klinischen Anästhesie und Intensivmedizin sind Thema dieses Bandes. Die Autoren empfehlen gesicherte Verfahren für die klinische Praxis, die bereits heute geeignet sind, das neurologische Outcome bei verschiedenen operativen Eingriffen zu verbessern und die Qualität der Narkoseführung zu optimieren. Die Beiträge vermitteln deshalb auch Kenntnisse über die entsprechenden Grundlagen und die wichtigsten Pathomechanismen akuter Hirnschäden in der perioperativen Phase. Das Buch soll - auch im Hinblick auf ein wachsendes Kostenbewußtsein - e

Overview: The Advanced Study Institute on Synthesis, Functional Properties and Applications of Nanostructures, held at the Knossos Royal Village, Heraklion, Crete, Greece, July 26, 2002 - August 4, 2002, successfully reviewed the state-of-the-art of nanostructures and nanotechnology. It was concluded that Nanotechnology is widely agreed to be the research focus that will lead to the next generation of breakthroughs in science and engineering. There are three cornerstones to the expectation that Nanotechnology will yield revolutionary advances in understanding and application: • Breakthroughs i

Overview: Explores corporate governance at organizations in direct connection with the United Nations SDGs.Shows how organizations cannot ignore the importance of sustainable development issues.Discusses the evThis book provides a platform for discussing the challenges that organizations face in order to implement sustainability, ethics, and effective corporate governance, all of which are important elements of “standing out” from other companies. Examining the background of the New European Consensus on development with the new guiding motto ‘Our World, Our Dignity, Our Future’, the authors e

Overview: The first assessment of the convergence of neuroscience and nanotechnology, its implications for the brain, and the social and ethical questions to which it gives rise.A novel approach to real-time as.Our brain is the source of everything that makes us human: language, creativity, rationality, emotion, communication, culture, politics. The neurosciences have given us, in recent decades, fundamental new insights into how the brain works and what that means for how we see ourselves as individuals and as communities. Now – with the help of new advances in nanotechnology – brain science

Overview: The field of nonlinear hyperbolic problems has been expanding very fast over the past few years, and has applications - actual and potential - in aerodynamics, multifluid flows, combustion, detonics amongst other. The difficulties that arise in application are of theoretical as well as numerical nature. In fact, the papers in this volume of proceedings deal to a greater extent with theoretical problems emerging in the resolution of nonlinear hyperbolic systems than with numerical methods. The volume provides an excellent up-to-date review of the current research trends in thisarea.97

Overview: In recent years methods have been developed to study cardiac function, myocardial blood flow and myocardial metabolism with radionuclides. These developments have been facilitated through the introduction of new radiopharmaceuticals, the design of special gamma cameras and dedicated computer systems. However, part of the information provided by nuclear cardiology can also be obtained through other investigations such as echocardiography, exercise electrocardiography and cardiac catheterisation with ventriculography and coronary arteriography. Thus the practising physician must select

Overview: Represents the first book to provide a sustained examination of Nietzsche’s writings on nihilism to illuminate readings of modernist literature and drama.Engages in dialogue with recent literary-philo.Reconfiguring Nietzsche’s seminal impact on modernist literature and culture, this book presents a distinctive new reading of modernism by exploring his sustained philosophical engagement with nihilism and its inextricable tie to pain and sickness. Arguing that modernist texts dramatize the frailty of the ill, the impotent, and the traumatised modern subject unable to render suffering s
