Overview: Addresses the concept of ‘awkwardness‘, which has rarely been addressed in a systematic way and never in relation to the Nordic States.Focuses on an area of study which is of increasing interest in th.This book provides the first lengthy study of awkward states/partners in regional integration. Is awkwardness a characteristic of states in many global regions, or is it reducible to the particular case of the United Kingdom in European integration? The authors assess how far the concept of ‘awkwardness’ can travel, and apply it to the cases of the Nordic States’ involvement in and with

Overview: The first book devoted to ferroic materials (ferroelectric, ferroelastic, ferromagnetic and multiferroics) in confined nanoscale structures.Strong emphasis on surface effects and their influence on thThis book covers the physical properties of nanosized ferroics, also called nanoferroics. Nanoferroics are an important class of ceramic materials that substitute conventional ceramic ferroics in modern electronic devices. They include ferroelectric, ferroelastic, magnetic and multiferroic nanostructured materials. The phase transitions and properties of these nanostructured ferroics are

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the TU Berlin, Germany.Gives an in-depth theoretical description of semiconductor quantum-dot optoelectronic devices.Discusses the unique dynamics of the qu.This thesis sheds light on the unique dynamics of optoelectronic devices based on semiconductor quantum-dots. The complex scattering processes involved in filling the optically active quantum-dot states and the presence of charge-carrier nonequilibrium conditions are identified as sources for the distinct dynamical behavior of quantum-dot based devices. Comprehensive theoretical models,

Overview: Provides researchers with a self-contained reference for nonlinear model predictive control which can support further research.Offers the student an up-to-date account of nonlinear model predictive coNonlinear Model Predictive Control is a thorough and rigorous introduction to nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) for discrete-time and sampled-data systems. NMPC is interpreted as an approximation of infinite-horizon optimal control so that important properties like closed-loop stability, inverse optimality and suboptimality can be derived in a uniform manner. These results are co

Overview: Nonprofit-Organisationen sehen sich heutzutage einem starken Druck zu Ökonomisierung und Monetarisierung ausgesetzt. Deshalb nimmt die Notwendigkeit zur „Vermarktung“ der eigenen Leistung zu. Wie viel Markt braucht eine NPO, wie behauptet sie sich unter marktlichen Gegebenheiten und wie viel Markt verträgt sie?..Über das Thema Nonprofit-Organisationen und Märkte diskutierten namhafte Wissenschaftler anlässlich des 7. Internationalen Colloquiums der NPO-Forscher am 16. und 17. März 2006 an der Universität Freiburg, Schweiz. Der Band beinhaltet alle Fachbeiträge und Podiumsdiskussionen

Overview: .Thanks to the potential of reducing fuel consumption and emissions, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have been attracting more and more attention from car manufacturers and researchers. Due to involving two energy sources, i.e., engine and battery, the powertrain in HEVs is a complicated electromechanical coupling system that generates noise and vibration different from that of a traditional vehicle. Accordingly, it is very important to explore the noise and vibration characteristics of HEVs. In this book, a hybrid vehicle with two motors is taken as an example, consisting of a compo

Overview: From attempts to control inflation in the 1970s, through the reforms of the Thatcher years, to the rise and fall of New Labour, this book shows how different theories and conceptual models have been critical to the development of industrial relations in the UK.978-1-137-41381-9

Overview: Topical subject matter.Interdisciplinary crosses law and the political and social sciences.Strong international appeal.Part of Palgrave Macmillan‘s new SocioLegal Studies series.Not the Marrying Kind. is a new and comprehensive exploration of the contemporary same-sex marriage debates in several jurisdictions including Australia, Canada, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. It departs from much of the existing scholarship on same-sex marriage, which argues either for or against marriage for same-sex couples. Instead, this book begins from a critical analysis of the

Overview: Publication in the field of natural sciences.Includes supplementary material: In his Master project Sven Herrmann for the first time carried out fundamental investigations into the development of polyoxometalate based ionic liquids (POM-ILs). The POM-ILs were obtained by charge balancing inorganic polyoxometalate (POM) anions with sterically demanding tetraalkylammonium or tetraalkylphosphonium cations. By functionalization of lacunary Keggin clusters with 3d-transition metals and charge balancing with tetraalkylammonium cations of differing chain length, a model system for the corre

Overview: The following notes, originally known as Neuroanatomical Notations, were prepared for the purpose of providing a quick review of some of the pertinent points that should be considered in refreshing your memory of Neuroanatomy. Obviously the booklet is not encyclopedic, and is cer­ tainly not intended as a text on the subject. However, hopefully, it will serve as a useful guide and be of aid in the task of systematically preparing for Part I of the National Boards and similar examinations. P. A. R. "I can‘t believe that!" said Alice "Can‘t you?" The Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try

Overview: The last few years have seen some remarkable advances in the understanding of atomic phenomena. It is now possible to isolate atomic systems in traps, measure in coincidence the fragments of collision processes, routinely produce, and study multicharged ions. One can look at bulk matter in such a way that the fundamental atomic character is clearly evident and work has begun to tease out the properties of anti­ matter. The papers in this book reflect many aspects of modem Atomic Physics. They correspond to the invited talks at a conference dedicated to the study of "New Directions in
