Overview: Das Verhältnis des Menschen zur Natur beschäftigt die Soziologie seit ihrem Entstehen und ist in Anbetracht der Klimakrise und anderer mit ihr netzwerkartig verbundener Problemlagen ein Thema von besonderer Aktualität. In der Spätmoderne vollzieht sich ein Bruch mit der dualistischen Auffassung von Natur versus Kultur, unter anderem im Denken des französischen Philosophen und Soziologen Bruno Latour, welcher als einer der Hauptvertreter der Science & Technology Studies (STS) gilt. André Hinderlich verfolgt mit der vorliegenden Publikation eine begriffliche Ordnung und theoretische Kl

Overview: .Neural Network Simulation Environments. describes some ofthe best examples of neural simulation environments. .All current neural simulation tools can be classified into fouroverlapping categories of increasing sophistication in softwareengineering. The least sophisticated are undocumented and dedicatedprograms, developed to solve just one specific problem; these toolscannot easily be used by the larger community and have not beenincluded in this volume. The next category is a collection ofcustom-made programs, some perhaps borrowed from other applicationdomains, and organized into

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-98796-0978-3-642-99611-5

Overview: Written as a dialogue on a train between PhD Student and Reader, this post/structuralist book plays out the problematic nature of representation and in doing so seeks to lay bare the messiness of reseReflecting upon his own prior experiences as Writer, PhD Student embarks on an ethnographic research project which seeks to explain the relationship between Boys’ creative writing and identity. A view of identity as performance is adopted, a main cast of year 6 Boys is assembled, and the stage of the year 6 primary classroom and the secondary school is set. Undertaking participant observ

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by University College London, UK and the University of Oklahoma, USA.Provides a comprehensive overview of nanoscale fluid transport and its importance in the praThis thesis demonstrates how molecular modeling techniques can be used to gain significant insights into numerous applications that are increasingly attracting research interest because of their societal importance. It presents innovative ideas that, by altering the fundamental physical phenomena occurring at the solid/liquid interface, allow the fluid transport in nanochannels to be man

Overview: Discusses the importance of well-being in managing and leading the 21st century workforce.Highlights the much needed moral and spiritual dimension of leadership in a most unique way.Tackles topics suc.This anthology examines how to cultivate human flourishing in the present-day boundary-less work environment. Anchored in the moral and spiritual dimension of well-being, it draws upon several allied fields such as workplace wellness in business and psychology. It utilizes findings from positive psychology, social psychology, organizational neuroscience, quantum physics, organizational

Overview: About three years ago, an idea was discussed among some colleagues in the Division of Statistics at the University of California, Davis, as to the possibility of holding an international conference, focusing exclusively on nonparametric curve estimation. The fruition of this idea came about with the enthusiastic support of this project by Luc Devroye of McGill University, Canada, and Peter Robinson of the London School of Economics, UK. The response of colleagues, contacted to ascertain interest in participation in such a conference, was gratifying and made the effort involved worthw

Overview: Presents general principles of the organization and function of the nervous system in the context of experimental neuroscience.Includes indications of how current understanding of neuroscience is baseIt is now about 10 years since the first edition of Nerve Cells and Nervous Systems was published. There have been many important advances across the whole field of neuro­ science since 1990 and it was obvious that the first edition had become much less useful than when it was published. Hence this new edition. I have attempted to keep to the aims of the first edition by presenting the g

Overview: Comprehensive overview of recent demographic developments.Comparable structure of contributions.First book on demography in Central and Eastern EuropeOver the last decade, Europe has experienced not only sweeping political, economic and social changes but also turbulent demographic developments which will to a great extent influence the region, its countries and their populations. The book presents a comprehensive overview of the recent demographic trends in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe focusing on such critical issues as fertility decline, changes in mortality, migrat

Overview: Presents state-of-the-art research on numerical methods for evaluating the inverse Laplace transform.Operational methods have been used for over a century to solve problems such as ordinary and partial differential equations. When solving such problems, in many cases it is fairly easy to obtain the Laplace transform, while it is very demanding to determine the inverse Laplace transform that is the solution of a given problem. Sometimes, after some difficult contour integration, we may find that a series solution results, but this may be quite difficult to evaluate in order to get an

Overview: .Nitrogen Economy in Tropical Soils. presents anauthoritative and comprehensive state-of-the-art review on soil/plantnitrogen inter-relationships, with special reference to tropical soilsand crops in aerobic and anaerobic environments. Use of isotopicallylabelled nitrogen in experimentation, especially in tropicalenvironments, and recently developed analytical techniques for soiland plant materials are presented. An important aspect is the emphasisplaced on the impact of the tropical environment on nitrogentransformations in the soil environment. This book should be anexcellent sourc
