Overview: Provides readers with context for understanding the problem of rule-based global nuclear order.Examines three relevant country case studies: Iran, North Korea, and India.Draws on both sociological intThis book examines the linkage between deviance and norm change in international politics. It draws on an original theoretical perspective grounded in the sociology of deviance to study the violations of norms and rules in the global nuclear non-proliferation regime. As such, this project provides a unique conceptual framework and applies it to highly salient issues in the contemporary i

It focuses on nanomaterials/nanocomposites phytotoxicity, which is an important precondition to promote the application of nanotechnology and to avoid the potential ecological risks. It describes the influencing factors of nanotoxicity of  nanoma

Overview: Some general aspects of opiate dependence are described in a first section including a brief historical description and an explanation of the different models currently used to investigate opiate dependence. The neurobiological bases of opiate withdrawal are detailed in a second section, which particularly emphasizes the neurophysiological adaptative changes, the processes of homologous and heterologous regulation, and the role played by different brain structures and several endogenous peptides acting as antiopiates. The last part reports several basic aspects more directly related

Overview: This volume contains the Proceedings of the "XXIV. Inter­ nationale Universitatswochen fur Kernphysik" held in Schlad­ ming, Austria, in February 1985. It consists of the written versions of the lectures (3-4 hours) given at this winter school and includes also most of the seminars (30-50 minutes) presented. In choosing the topic for the 1985 meeting, our aim was to give an account of the present understanding of the nucleon-nucleon as well as nucleon-antinucleon inter­ actions. This field, which is of definite relevance in nuclear and particle physics, has witnessed a rapid develop­

Overview: Medical research into practice.Innovations in diagnostics and treatment of respiratory diseases.Comprehensive accounts of noncommunicable diseases.Focus on population respiratory healthDiseases of the respiratory system often cause multisystem dysfunction and morbidity. Respiratory diseases not transmissible by a direct contact are rarer than those of inflammatory or infectious background. Such noncommunicable diseases, often entailing genetic and immune aspects, are areas of limited understanding; sarcoidosis being a case in point. This book tackles the issues relevant to such disea

Overview: Die Risk-Map dient zur Klassifizierung und Priorisierung von bewerteten Unternehmensrisiken. Christian Brünger untersucht, wie die Risikoschwelle, welche in der Risk-Map als Klassifizierungsgrenze verwendet wird, auf der Grundlage von entscheidungstheoretischen Kriterien bestimmt werden kann. .Der Autor zeigt erstmalig auf, dass mit der bisherigen klassischen Priorisierungsmethode ein „blinder Fleck“ in der Risk-Map entsteht, in dem wichtige Risiken nicht erkannt werden. .978-3-8349-6815-9

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: Gathers contributions from leading experts in the field who have developed the approaches.There are no competing monographs.Books on structural health monitoring are very scarce, there are none currenThis book is a collection of articles covering the six lecture courses given at the CISM School on this topic in 2008. It features contributions by established international experts and offers a coherent and comprehensive overview of the state-of-the art research in the field, thus addressing both postgraduate students and researchers in aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering.978-3-

Overview: Gathers and discusses, in one volume, various laws, practices and procedures in Nigerian taxation.Raises the issue of resolving tax disputes in Nigeria using the Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechani.This book offers a simplified and straightforward introduction to the basics of Nigerian taxation. While discussing various laws, practices and procedures, it also addresses the latest amendments to Nigerian tax laws. ..The book begins by discussing the central issue of Islamic taxation and its legality under Nigerian law. Divided into four main sections, the book was designed for simpl

Overview: Presents a detailed insight into nuclear power induced disaster management process.Highlights statistical associations and estimations of radiation doses.Details the problems and priorities of nuclear.Managing nuclear power emergencies is significantly different from managing other types of emergencies, including fire, flood, and other disasters because nuclear disaster management requires special technical skills and a rigid protocol which outlines detailed steps and procedure before an evacuation announcement could be made. It was evident that the impacts from a nuclear power core-

Overview: Recent research in Natural Intelligence for Scheduling, Planning and Packing Problems.Scheduling, planning and packing are ubiquitous problems that can be found in a wide range of real-world settings. These problems transpire in a large variety of forms, and have enormous socio-economic impact. For many years, significant work has been devoted to automating the processes of scheduling, planning and packing using different kinds of methods. However, poor scaling and the lack of flexibility of many of the conventional methods coupled with the fact that most of the real-world problems a

Overview: After the success of the previous summer schools organized by the Nuclear Physics Division of the Netherlands‘ Physical Society in 1975 and 1977, we thought it worthwhile to continue this tradition. The immediate very positive reactions received from all invited speakers encouraged us to proceed with the orgaization. Although the number of students had to be restricted to about one hundred, the international character of the School was evident from about thirty nationalities which were represented. The material contained in this book covers the talks given by all speakers invited to
