Overview: This volume addresses questions that lie at the core of research into education. It examines the way in which the institutional embeddedness and the social and ethnic composition of students affect educational performance, skill formation, and behavioral outcomes. It discusses the manner in which educational institutions accomplish social integration. It poses the question of whether they can reduce social inequality, – or whether they even facilitate the transformation of heterogeneity into social inequality. Divided into five parts, the volume offers new insights into the many fact

Overview: This book, the seventh in the series ‘Research and Perspectives in Neuroscience‘, contains the procedings of a meeting that was held in Paris on October14, 1996. The conference consisted of invited papers and poster presentations. The invited papers, included in this volume, were on cell proliferation prior to neuronal migration, on cellular and molecular factors characteristic of neuronal migration, and on postmigrational neuronal and axonal plasticity. There was a section devoted to disorders of neuronal migration and plasticity and the genetics of some developmental disorders. Gre

Overview: Sprookjes zijn eigenlijk gelijkenissen waarin de reis van de mens door het leven wordt uitgebeeld. De meeste sprookjes eindigen met de jeugdige droom van geluk, maar het werkelijke leven eindigt natuurlijk niet met jeugd of eeuwige gelukzaligheid. Ouderdomssprookjes symboliseren de ontwikkelingstaken die de mens moet volbrengen in de tweede levenshelft. Ze gaan over oud worden, maar ook over groei. Ze geven een visie op wat het leven op middelbare en latere leeftijd kan inhouden.

Overview: The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg, Austria, has been involved in research on nondifferentiable optimization since 1976. IIASA-based East-West cooperation in this field has been very productive, leading to many important theoretical, algorithmic and applied results. Nondifferentiable optimi­ zation has now become a recognized and rapidly developing branch of mathematical programming. To continue this tradition, and to review recent developments in this field, IIASA held a Workshop on Nondifferentiable Optimization in Sopron (Hungary) in Sept

Overview: Reviews the latest advances in nanomaterial synthesis and its applications in three major sectors: energy, health, and the environment.Provides readers with a deeper understanding of the broad range o.This book highlights the various types of nanomaterials currently available and their applications in three major sectors: energy, health, and the environment. It addresses a range of aspects based on the fact that these materials’ structure can be tailored at extremely small scales to achieve specific properties, thus greatly expanding the materials science toolkit. .. .Further, the bo

Overview: Mergers und Akquisitionen gelten als probates Mittel in einen neuen Markt einzusteigen oder eine schwache Marktposition zu verbessern. Trotz zahlreicher gescheiterter M&A, die in den letzten Jahren zu beträchtlichen Wertvernichtungen führten, fehlen in der betriebs- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung theoretisch begründete Handlungsoptionen für die Post Merger Integration (PMI). ..Jürgen F. Studt untersucht qualitativ und quantitativ, ob und inwieweit ein Change-Management-Ansatz organisationstheoretisch unterlegt werden kann und wie sich die Nachhaltigkeit eines Ansatzes in der

Overview: This book puts emphasis on developing the basic ideas behind the different approaches to non-equilibrium thermodynamics and on applying them to solids. After a survey about different approaches an introduction to their common fundamentals is given in the first part. In the second part the mechanical behavior of special materials such as viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, viscoelastoplasticity, and thermoplasticity are discussed. The third part is devoted to extended thermodynamics. The basic ideas, phenomenological as well as microscopical, are reviewed and applied to thermo- and visc
