Overview: Considers the shape and relevance of digital democracy in post-authoritarian states.Argues that sustainable online movements rely on online community exposure to re-connection and recognition to the t.Focusing on the concept of prudence as ethical groundwork for digital practices and activism, this book considers digital media expediency and populism as conflicting required experiences that lead digital citizens to discover activism. It highlights the importance of digital citizens’ experience of ‘being-in-the-digital sphere’ and encourages the reader to look at the dynamics of onlin

Overview: .With the development of modern instruments and theories, a considerable amount of spectroscopic information is being permanently collected on molecules. The infrared, in particular, is seeing extraordinary activities. Using Fourier transform interferometers and infrared lasers, accurate data are measured often with extreme sensitivity. These data are also analyzed and precise molecular parameters determined. Volume II/20, “Molecular Constants Mostly from Infrared Spectroscopy”, is a recent Landolt-Börnstein publication series bringing together these results. It is made up of several

Overview: Through a multi-sited qualitative study of three rural and urban schools in Kenya, the volume examines the ways the colonial legacy of inequality and the dichotomy between “Western” and “indigenous” kThrough a multi-sited qualitative study of three Kenyan secondary schools in rural Taita Hills and urban Nairobi, the volume explores the ways the dichotomy between “Western” and “indigenous” knowledge operates in Kenyan education. In particular, it examines views on natural sciences expressed by the students, teachers, the state’s curricula documents, and schools’ exam-oriented pedagogi

Overview: The NATO Advanced Study Institute on Numerical Taxonomy took place on the 4th - 16th of July, 1982, at the Kur- und Kongresshotel Residenz in Bad Windsheim, Federal Republic of Germany. This volume is the proceedings of that meeting, and contains papers by over two-thirds of the participants in the Institute. Numerical taxonomy has been attracting increased attention from systematists and evolutionary biologists. It is an area which has been marked by debate and conflict, sometimes bitter. Happily, this meeting took place in an atmosphere of "GemUtlichkeit", though scarcely of unanim

Overview: Contains evidence-based information that comprises basic to recent advances pertaining to carriers in nanotechnology.Gives a concise overview of nanocarriers for targeted drug delivery and nanotoxicitA suitable drug delivery system is an essential element in achieving efficient therapeutic responses of drug molecules. With this desirability in mind, the book unites different techniques through which extremely small-sized particles can be utilized as a successful carrier for curing chronic as well as life-threatening diseased conditions. This is a highly informative and prudently orga

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Inferring gene regulatory networks is a difficult problem to solve due to the relative scarcity of data compared to the potential size of the networks. While researchers have developed techniques to find some of the underlying network structure, there is still no one-size-fits-all algorithm for every data set. .Network Inference in Molecular Biology. examines the current techniques used by researchers, and provides key insights into which algorithms best fit a collection of data. Through a series of in-depth examples, the book also outlines how to mi

Overview: Explores the field of networks and organizations, delving into the relation between network performance and agency.Identifies research questions yet to be investigated, adopting insights coming from v.In line with the multi-disciplinary nature of network research, this edited volume collects both empirical and conceptual contributions that nurture the debate on network research, specifically dealing with the topics of network performance and agency. The contributions draw on different literatures and epistemic approaches and address different levels of analysis, both from a static an

Overview: The first book to provide a comprehensive overview on neural functions of the Delta Opioid Receptor.Includes contributions from major DOR researchers in the world.Covers the topic from cellular aspectThis book is the first to summarize the progress of research on neural functions of the the delta opioid receptor (DOR) to date. This receptor, a member of the opioid receptor family, was traditionally thought to be primarily involved in pain modulation. Recent new findings have shown its unique role in neuroprotection and many other functions. Many scientists from a number of independen

In spite of the fact that the - plication of nonparametric techniques in time series can be traced back to the 1940s at least, there still exists healthy and justi?ed skepticism about the capability of nonparametric methods in time series analysis.

Overview: .This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed papers of the workshops held at the 9th International Conference on New Trends in Model and Data Engineering, MEDI 2019, in Toulouse, France, in October 2019..The 12 full and the three short workshop papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 35 submissions. The papers are organized according to the 3 workshops: Workshop on Modeling, Verification and Testing of Dependable Critical systems, DETECT 2019, Workshop on Data Science for Social Good in Africa, DSSGA 2019, and Workshop on Security

Overview: S.B. Leble‘s book deals with nonlinear waves and their propagation in metallic and dielectric waveguides and media with stratification. The underlying nonlinear evolution equations (NEEs) are derived giving also their solutions for specific situations. The reader will find new elements to the traditional approach. Various dispersion and relaxation laws for different guides are considered as well as the explicit form of projection operators, NEEs, quasi-solitons and of Darboux transforms. Special points relate to: 1. the development of a universal asymptotic method of deriving NEEs fo

Overview: Demonstrates application and implementation scenarios.Curates diverse perspectives and areas of professional acting together for common learning.Helps implement the 3-P-Model‘s ‘Traveling Organization.This book dives deep into the "Three Pillar Model" (3-P-Model) applied by the authors for organizations. These pillars are: Sustainable Purpose, Traveling Organization, and Connected Resources. The authors specifically concentrate on the pillar Traveling Organization and help in understanding the concept, its design, and navigation in practice. The expert contributors also show the rele

Overview: Der Philosoph Ernst Bloch deutet am Ende seines berühmten Buches DasPrin­ zip Hoffnung auf einen noch nicht begangenen Weg menschlicher Geschichte hin: Morgenland Natur. Der Gedanke, daß die Versöhnung von Mensch und Natur das Ziel aller Geschichte sein könnte, erscheint so vertrauenserweckend wie verführerisch. "Morgenland Natur" ist ein Versprechen auf elementare Geborgenheit des menschlichen Lebens und zugleich kraftvolle Perspektive für die Zukunft. Es wird vorsichtig geäußert, daß der Tag möglicher Harmonie zwischen Mensch und Natur noch gar nicht angebrochen, geschweige denn sc

Overview: The analysis of singular perturbed differential equations began early in this century, when approximate solutions were constructed from asymptotic ex­ pansions. (Preliminary attempts appear in the nineteenth century [vD94].) This technique has flourished since the mid-1960s. Its principal ideas and methods are described in several textbooks. Nevertheless, asymptotic ex­ pansions may be impossible to construct or may fail to simplify the given problem; then numerical approximations are often the only option. The systematic study of numerical methods for singular perturbation problems

Overview: Interrogates questions of race, gender, media, language, and class.Addresses contemporary concerns surrounding identity and difference in neoliberal, globalized societies.Examines a wide range of mediThis book is about how the marketing of transnational cultural commodities capitalizes on difference and its appeal for cosmopolitan consumers in our postmodern globalized world. At what price? What ethical and political conundrums does the artist/writer/reader confront when going global? This volume analyzes why difference - whether gender, sexual, racial, ethnic, or linguistic - has be
