Overview: Provides an overview of the most important options that should be considered when shaping social security systems.Transcends the traditional ‘system-centristic’ view, increasing awareness of policy op.This book explores a variety of social risks and possible policy options that could be put in place to either prevent, or lessen the negative consequences of their materialisation. Pieters groups these policy issues into four major social risks -- income replacement in case of old age and survivorship; unemployment; incapacity for work; and social health care protection – all of which a

Overview: First book exclusively dealing with the standard cranial ultrasonography procedure and normal cranial ultrasonography images.Survey of the basics of neonatal cranial ultrasonosgraphy.Providing essentiDespite advances in neonatal care, neonatal cerebral injury remains a major cause of morbidity, mortality and disabilities. Cranial ultrasonography provides information on brain maturation in the (preterm) neonate and enables detection of frequently occurring brain anomalies in this patient group. It can be repeated when necessary. After the introduction of neonatal MRI, cranial ultrason

Overview: The need for climatological data of the North Sea has increased during the past years. The increase in offshore and recreational activities can benefit greatly from such data. In order to meet this need weather observations made by ships and lightvessels in the North Sea have been processed extensively, which has resulted in a large number of tables, charts, etc. with climatological data. This publication gives a selection of these data, in which the emphasis lies on wind and wave data. In addition, some characteristic data on air and sea tempera­ ture, cloud cover, precipitation, vi

Overview: That knowledge about the world and self is imparted through narrative is widely accepted; the techniques used to construct this knowledge have received less attention. This book uses a semiotic methodology to analyze works by Merleau-Ponty, Kierkegaard and Austin, and explore how conceptualizations of reality are formed through narrative strategy.978-0-230-59934-5

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This Springer Brief examines the tools based on attack graphs that help reveal network hardening threats. Existing tools detail all possible attack paths leading to critical network resources. Though no current tool provides a direct solution to remove the threats, they are a more efficient means of network defense than relying solely on the experience and skills of a human analyst. Key background information on attack graphs and network hardening helps readers understand the complexities of these tools and techniques. A common network hardening techn

Overview: The noninteracting control problem with stability consists of rendering a nonlinear system noninteractive while achieving internal stability. With the exception of systems with outputs partitioned into given blocks or when the state of the system is not available for feedback, this problem is well understood. However, this book provides a useful supplement to the standard texts on the nonlinear control theory and collects all the existing results on the nonlinear noninteracting control problem into a self-contained and extensive concept.978-3-540-19891-8978-3-540-39336-8Series ISSN 0

Overview: Includes a chapter on extremal properties of non linear time series.Recent developments on the inferential methods for time series are treated.Integer time series models.Includes supplementary materia.This book offers a useful combination of probabilistic and statistical tools for analyzing nonlinear time series. Key features of the book include a study of the extremal behavior of nonlinear time series and a comprehensive list of nonlinear models that address different aspects of nonlinearity. Several inferential methods, including quasi likelihood methods, sequential Markov Chain Mo

Overview: Seit der UN-Konferenz für Umwelt und Entwicklung 1992 in Rio de Janeiro hat der Begriff der nachhaltigen Entwicklung weltweite Bedeutung erlangt. Als gesellschaftliches Leitbild für die Zukunft soll das Konzept der Nachhaltigkeit die Ziele wirtschaftliche Entfaltung und Umweltschutz miteinander in Einklang bringen. Doch trotz der häufigen Verwendung bleibt weiterhin unklar, wie der Begriff inhaltlich zu füllen ist und mit welchen Strategien und Instrumenten das Konzept realisiert werden kann. Die Autoren zeigen die Vielschichtigkeit des Ansatzes mit seinen ökologischen, ökonomischen,

Overview: Covers both theoretical and practical aspects of IDS/IPS.Useful for a broad audience of practitioners, students and instructors.Includes supplementary material: .Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention: Concepts and Techniques provides detailed and concise information on different types of attacks, theoretical foundation of attack detection approaches, implementation, data collection, evaluation, and intrusion response. Additionally, it provides an overview of some of the commercially/publicly available intrusion detection and response systems. On the topic of intrusion detection

Overview: No other book has ever addressed nutrition and welfare of farm animals in such a comprehensive manner.The book opens up a new chapter in providing for the welfare of farm animals, which until now have.This book explores the importance of good nutrition in ensuring an adequate standard of welfare for farm animals. It is often not realized that farm animals can suffer when they are fed unsuitable diets, which may be because these diets are more economic or the farmer does not know how to rectify poor nutrition. This book reveals how to recognize and deal with feeding problems in farm a

Overview: Introduces key principles that need to be considered when making a clinical decision.Describes the latest diagnostic modalities.Covers a range of relevant cases.This book provides a detailed practically focused guide on the latest diagnostic and treatment techniques available for normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).  Chapters in this work cover the latest developments related to this condition. It introduces how to use a range of diagnostic modalities including magnetic resonance scanning along with how artificial intelligence and machine learning methodologies can be applied. Cases

Overview: A geographer‘s view of nature conservation.Diversity of nature conservation efforts highlighted.Puts the concept of nature conservation to the testMany things happen in nature reserves that are contradictory at first glance. For example, flower meadows are mown down during maintenance work, even though all the plants growing there are protected. Elsewhere, protected reed beds are burnt down in a fen or the top layer of soil is removed with bulldozers in a dune conservation area. Still other areas are to remain completely untouched by human intervention. The author Klaus-Dieter Hupke

Overview: Describes characteristic clinical features and diagnostic approaches of non-neoplastic hematologic disorders.Contains over 100 Q&A with comments on laboratory values, updated cytogenetic and mutationa.In the current digital era with the exponential growth of medical knowledge, voluminous textbooks have gradually been replaced by the pocketbooks with tables, figures, images, and e-links to digital book versions with supplemental materials available online. The advent of novel next-generation sequencing (NGS) and multi-omics single cell methods have uncovered causative molecular mechan

Overview: Nominated by the University of Erlangen-Nuernberg as an outstanding PhD thesis.Interdisciplinary approach to the problem of solubility and polydispersity of carbon nanotubes in water.Exposition of ratIn this thesis, Claudia Backes guides the reader through her multidisciplinary research into the non-covalent functionalization of carbon nanotubes in water. Although one of the most remarkable materials of the 21st century, carbon nanotubes often have limited application because of their intrinsically low solubility and polydispersity. The author shows that rational surfactant design is
