Overview: The proportion of the population over 65 years of age is increasing steadily in most industrialized countries. In the United States the proportion of elderly people has risen from four percent in 1900 to 11 % in 1978, and is projected to be 14% by the year 2000. The occurrence of debilitating chronic diseases in the elderly increases with each additional year. These diseases, along with the natural loss of tissue function that occurs throughout adult life, impose a heavy burden on the health care system. Nutri­ tion plays an important etiologic role in many of these degenerative chan

Overview: From putative ‘success stories‘ such as Ghana and Rwanda to failed efforts in Zimbabwe and other countries, this volume brings together seven incisive case studies from diverse contexts including post-war Sierra Leone, Uganda, and the new nation of South Sudan to distil insights into the troubled progress of reform across the African continent.978-1-137-51882-8

Overview: The European School of Oncology came into existence to respond to a need for information, education and training in the field of the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. There are two main reasons why such an initiative was considered necessary. Firstly, the teaching of oncology requires a rigorously multidisciplinary approach which is difficult for the Universities to put into practice since their system is mainly disciplinary orientated. Secondly, the rate of technological development that impinges on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer has been so rapid that it is not an easy task

Overview: This open access book addresses social mobility opportunities.Provides a comparative view on the upcoming elite among children of labour immigrants.Offers insights on the reproduction of status and fa.This open access book comparatively analyses intergenerational social mobility in immigrant families in Europe. It is based on qualitative in-depth research into several hundred biographies and professional trajectories of young people with an immigrant working-class background, who made it into high-prestige professions. The biographies were collected and analysed by a consortium of re

Overview: The first collection of narrative inquiry examples in the field of music education.Accompanies each example by a critical commentary that situates the work in the field.Presents meta-reflective commenMargaret S. Barrett and Sandra L. Stauffer We live in a “congenial moment for stories” (Pinnegar & Daynes, 2007, p. 30), a time in which narrative has taken up a place in the “landscape” of inquiry in the social sciences. This renewed interest in storying and stories as both process and product (as eld text and research text) of inquiry may be attributed to various methodological and con

Overview: Develops a general framework‘for the numerical solution of mixed problems.Discusses preconditioned iterative methods.Provides applications to various problems.This book focuses on iterative solvers and preconditioners for mixed finite element methods. It provides an overview of some of the state-of-the-art solvers for discrete systems with constraints such as those which arise from mixed formulations...Starting by recalling the basic theory of mixed finite element methods, the book goes on to discuss the augmented Lagrangian method and gives a summary of the standard iterative method

Overview: Focuses attention on land-based tourism in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.Combines theoretical contributions with new empirical data from hitherto seldom-covered sources and destinations.Spans disci.New Issues in Polar Tourism. traces and analyzes a decade of growing interest in the polar regions, and the consequent challenges and opportunities of increasing tourist traffic in formerly remote and seldom-visited places. The book arises from the recently-formed International Polar Tourism Research Network (IPTRN), and documents the outcomes of its 2010 conference, held at Sweden’s Ab

Overview: In sensor network applications, measured data are often meaningful only when the location is accurately known. In this booklet, we study research problems associated with node localization in wireless sensor networks. We describe sensor network localization problems in terms of a detection and estimation framework and we emphasize specifically a cooperative process where sensors with known locations are used to localize nodes at unknown locations. In this class of problems, even if the location of a node is known, the wireless links and transmission modalities between two nodes may b

Overview: Da seit dem Erscheinen der ersten Auflage mehr als ein Dutzend Jahre vergangen sind, machte sich eine gründliche Überarbeitung des Bandes nötig. Das Kapitel "Gleichungssy­ steme" wurde erweitert durch Ausführungen zur Lösung von tridiagonalen linearen Glei­ chungssystemen; die Ausführungen zur Interpolation wurden stark verändert; der Ab­ schnitt "Anfangswertaufgaben bei gewöhnlichen Differentialgleichungen" wurde völlig neu verfaßt. Die moderne Entwicklung und der weitverbreitete Einsatz von elektronischen Rechen­ anlagen (Computern) üben starken Einfluß auf die numerische Mathemati

Overview: Necromanticism is a study of literary pilgrimage: readers‘ compulsion to visit literary homes, landscapes, and (especially) graves during the long Romantic period. The book draws on the histories of tourism and literary genres to highlight Romanticism‘s recourse to the dead in its reading, writing, and canon-making practices.978-1-349-33857-3978-0-230-36949-8Series ISSN 2634-6516 Series E-ISSN 2634-6524

Overview: Summarizes recent findings covering morphological, physiological, developmental, computational and pathophysiological aspects of axons..Covers new findings concerning axonal structure and functions to.Axons are neuronal output elements and are responsible for the transfer and processing of signals from one neuron to another, even over very large distances. For a given neuronal cell type, axons are unique and display very heterogeneous patterns with respect to shape, length and target structure. Axons are the usually long process of a nerve fiber that generally conducts impulses away
