Overview: This book modifies the existing economic theory of health analysis by integrating the issues and principles of moral philosophy in an extended framework. It also develops some operational mathematical models to show how this framework can be applied to health economics and policy evaluation.978-0-230-28905-5

Overview: Provides a systematic survey of the development of the instrument of "nudging" in Europe Fosters the dialogue between European and American Law and Economics scholars.Deals with the opportunities and .This anthology provides an in-depth analysis and discusses the issues surrounding nudging and its use in legislation, regulation, and policy making more generally. The 17 essays in this anthology provide startling insights into the multifaceted debate surrounding the use of nudges in European Law and Economics..Nudging is a tool aimed at altering people’s behaviour in a predictable way

Overview: This collection of essays is a tribute to Stillman Drake by some of his friends and colleagues, and by others on whom his work has had a formative influence. It is difficult to know him without succumbing to his combination of discipline and enthusiasm, even in fields remote from Renaissance physics and natural philosophy; and so he should not be surprised in this volume to see emphases and methods congenial to him, even on topics as remote as Darwin or the chemical revolution. Therein lies whatever unity the discerning reader may find in this book, beyond the natural focus and coher

Overview: The last decade has been one of dramatic progress in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). This hitherto largely academic discipline has found itself at the center of an information revolution ushered in by the Internet age, as demand for human-computer communication and informa­ tion access has exploded. Emerging applications in computer-assisted infor­ mation production and dissemination, automated understanding of news, understanding of spoken language, and processing of foreign languages have given impetus to research that resulted in a new generation of robust tools, s

Overview: Devoted to fully developing and comparing continuous and the discrete approaches to the numerical approximation of controls for wave propagation phenomena.Provides convergence results for the discrete​​​​​​This book is devoted to fully developing and comparing the two main approaches to the numerical approximation of controls for wave propagation phenomena: the continuous and the discrete. This is accomplished in the abstract functional setting of conservative semigroups.The main results of the work unify, to a large extent, these two approaches, which yield similaralgorithms and con

Overview: Features contributions from scientists with direct experience in one or more of the fields of neuropeptide research.Include detailed protocols relevant to a wide range of scientists.Provides key tips .Since the early days, the field of neuropeptide biology has dramatically widened, and today the ultimate frontiers in neuropeptide research lie in the development of pharmacologically active compounds that are capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier to exert their biological role(s) .in vivo. and in the construction of genetic vectors to be employed in gene therapy.  .Neuropeptides:

Overview: CFD - tut nicht weh!Inzwischen haben Strömungsberechnungs-Programme einen so hohen Entwicklungsstand hinsichtlich Flexibilität, Genauigkeit und Effizienz erreicht, dass sie für sehr viele Strömungsprobleme erfolgreich eingesetzt werden können. Dieses Lehr- und Übungsbuch richtet sich an zukünftige Anwender von kommerzieller Berechnungssoftware zur Strömungsmechanik. Neben den Grundlagen liegt der Schwerpunkt auf ausführlich dargestellten Beispielen mit ergänzenden praktischen Hinweisen sowie auf dem Umgang mit kommerziellen CFD-Programmen, hier speziell mit ANSYS 11.0. .Übungsfragen

Overview: The schemes are analyzed regarding their nonlinear stability.Recently developed entropy schemes are presented.A formalism is introduced for source terms.This book is devoted to finite volume methods for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. It differs from previous expositions on the subject in that the accent is put on the development of tools and the design of schemes for which one can rigorously prove nonlinear stability properties. Sufficient conditions for a scheme to preserve an invariant domain or to satisfy discrete entropy inequalities are systematically exposed, with ana

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain.Provides basic research in a novel material based on silicon, which is later integrated into an industr.This thesis makes a significant contribution to the development of cheaper Si-based Infrared detectors, operating at room temperature. In particular, the work is focused in the integration of the Ti supersaturated Si material into a CMOS Image Sensor route, the technology of choice for imaging nowadays due to its low-cost and high resolution. First, the material is fabricated using ion

Overview: Introduces parameters for noise evaluation based on the human auditory system.Describes many kinds of noise characterized by the autocorrelation function (ACF) and interaural cross-correlation functioThis book deals with methods of measurement and evaluation of environmental noise based on an auditory neural and brain-oriented model. The model consists of the autocorrelation function (ACF) and the interaural cross-correlation function (IACF) mechanisms for signals arriving at the two ear entrances. Even when the sound pressure level of a noise is only about 35 dBA, people may feel an

Overview: .Neurosurgical Management of Pain. presents the full range of procedures for the management of chronic, intractable pain. Criteria for patient selection, the details of operative techniques, risks, complications, and expected outcomes are offered for a wide variety of anatomic, ablative, and augmentative neurosurgical procedures for the treatment of pain. Chapters on the latest neuroaugmentative advances utilizing electrical stimulation and implantable drug infusion systems are included as well as a useful section providing algorithms and guidelines for evaluation and treatment of sp

Overview: .As the number of processor cores and IP blocks integrated on a single chip is steadily growing, a systematic approach to design the communication infrastructure becomes necessary. Different variants of packed switched on-chip networks have been proposed by several groups during the past two years. This book summarizes the state of the art of these efforts and discusses the major issues from the physical integration to architecture to operating systems and application interfaces. It also provides a guideline and vision about the direction this field is moving to. Moreover, the book o
