Overview: Roman Ingarden‘s very extensive philosophical work in metaphysics, ontology, epistemology, and aesthetics con­ tinues to attract increasing attention both in Poland and in North America. Further work left uncompleted at his death is appearing. Major bibliographies of his work as well as of studies about his work are now in print. Ingar­ den‘s scattered articles on various questions in philosophy are being collected. And conferences devoted to his work are now held regularly. These diverse activities might suggest a similar diver­ sity in Ingarden‘s philosophical legacy. But such a su

Overview: I believe that the most intriguing thing in the world, be­ sides the world itself, is the human brain. Moreover, I am sure that a coherent natural philosophy will only be possible once we have understood how the brain, itself an object of physics, generates the description of the physical word. Therefore a book on the brain, be it the fly‘s or the mouse‘s brain, needs no justification. It is important, however, to point out the limits of its ambi­ tions. The first three Chapters are introductory and are written in a lighthearted philosophical vein. An idea is introduced that turns up

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This volume is the second in a series of three volumes dedicated to the lecture notes of the summer school “Open Quantum Systems” which took place in the Institut Fourier in Grenoble, from June 16th to July 4th 2003. The contributions presented in thesevolumesarerevisedandexpandedversionsofthenotesprovidedtothestudents during the school. After the rst volume, developing the Hamiltonian approach of open quantum systems, this second volume is dedicated to the Markovian approach. The third volume presents both approaches, but at the recent research level

Overview: Only a small part of the numerous photochemical reactions in organic compounds result in reversible structural changes. The latter are accom­ panied by a change in physical properties, in particular, of electronic spectra. It is tempting to try to use this photochromic effect in various systems for controlling and regulating light fluxes and for data recording. Eventually an independent trend emerged in photochemistry - the study of the photochromism of organic compounds to establish relationships between structure and photochemical behavior, the theoretical analysis of these relatio

Overview: The list of those to whom I am indebted is a long one. Prof. Neil Wallace (University of Minnesota) stimulated my interest in the kind of models with which the book deals. I am grateful for a large number of conversations with him. I learned a lot from him and will always be proud that I have been one of his student. I hope that he is not dissappointed with the outcome. I am deeply indebted to Prof. Dr. Hans-Werner Sinn (University of Munich). His observations and critical remarks were instrumental for a great number of changes and improvements which I was able to introduce while rev

Overview: Discusses the latest clinical and epidemiological studies on health and non-communicable diseases associated with oilseeds.Provides an exclusive chapter on unconventional oilseeds narrating their heal.Oilseeds offer a plethora of opportunities for the food and feed industry, thanks to their high oil and protein content . Their phytonutrients and functional components have attracted the interest of researchers, leading to the development of functional foods. This book gathers the latest scientific information on the nutrients, phytonutrients and health benefits as well as the adverse

Overview: Up to date results.Fast track conference proceedings.State of the art researchThis book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Optical SuperComputing, OSC 2012, held in Bertinoro, Italy, in July 2012. The 11 papers presented together with 11 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in this book. Being an annual forum for research presentations on all facets of optical computing for solving hard computation tasks, OCS addresses the following topics of interest: design of optical computing devices, e

Overview: Innovationen hervorzubringen, ist für Organisationen nicht nur von großer Bedeutung, sondern auch mit erheblichen Schwierigkeiten verbunden. Insbesondere Großunternehmen, d. h. auch Konzernen, wird oft vorgeworfen, innovationsfeindlich bzw. -unfähig zu sein. Michèle Morner zeigt Potentiale auf, die Konzerne für Innovationen bieten. Durch die bewußte Gestaltung von Konzernstrukturen können diese Potentiale gezielt zur Hervorbringung von Produktinnovationen genutzt werden. Die Autorin entwickelt einen theoretischen Bezugsrahmen für die Anforderungen an innovative Konzernstrukturen und

Overview: In both rich and poor nations, public resources for health care are inadequate to meet demand. Policy makers and health care providers must determine how to provide the most effective health care to citizens using the limited resources that are available. This chapter describes current and future challenges in the delivery of health care, and outlines the role that operations research (OR) models can play in helping to solve those problems. The chapter concludes with an overview of this book – its intended audience, the areas covered, and a description of the subsequent chapters. KEY

Overview: Effizienz durch richtige MitarbeiterführungUnternehmen sind in den letzten Jahrzehnten mit einer steigenden Umweltkompie­ xität und -dynamik konfrontiert: Neue Informationstechnologien, ein rasch wach­ sendes Wissen und die sich ausweitenden Verflechtungen der Weltwirtschaft führten zu tiefgreifenden Veränderungen. Hinzu kamen eine fortschreitende technologische Entwicklung, sich immer stärker ändernde Kundenbedürfnisse und zunehmende Kundenansprüche. Um diesen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden, sehen sich die Unternehmen zunehmend gezwungen, neue Wege bei der Gestaltung ihrer internen

Overview: Excellent overview on state of the art of modern organocatalysis.Due to the emergence of organocatalysis as a highly active and very exciting field of research both in academia and the life sciences industry, an Ernst Schering Research Foundation Symposium was organized in 2007 to bring together the scientific leaders in this field and to discuss the basics and current progress of organocatalysis and its application in drug discovery. Various aspects of organocatalysis are addressed in this volume, covering a broad range of synthetic transformations such as functional group interconv

Overview: This book is concerned with the synthetic aspects of oxidation reactions involving metal compounds. which are readily available or easy to prepare. The sequence followed in the chapters is as follows: a general introduction. a limited treatment of reaction mechanisms to serve as a basis for synthesis. and scope and limitations of the oxidant system. mostly in terms of substrate and product classes. Finally, at the end of each chapter. representative synthetic procedures are given together with relevant experimental considerations. A general table is included as an appendix. This cont

Overview: The societal web of life is underpinned by one concept -that of Self and Other - which emerged earlier in this century.The concept has received a new formulation within the field of thephenomenology of life and the human creative condition, finding afoothold, a point of reference that radiates novel, seminal insights.It is nothing other than the creative fulcrum of human functioning.The self-individualisation of the human being, as revealed in thepresent collection, is existentially and vitally intertwined with thatof the Other. .Tymieniecka‘s seminal idea of the `trans-actional‘ is

Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs are adult criminal associations composed of “bikers” living a deviant lifestyle that includes individual, group, and club criminal behavior. These groups are sometimes called one percenters, due to the American Motorcycle Association statement that ninety-nine percent of motorcyclists are law a

Overview: The activities of the Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei cover a broad spectrum of research topics, ranging from economics to engineering, from environmen­ tal management at the industry or regional level to basic mathematical model­ ling research. It is the combination of the activities on these last two topics that led the Fondazione to organise, with the University of Geneva, a work­ shop where operation research tools were designed with the aim to provide national and local policy makers with appropriate analytical and policy instru­ ments for environmental management. In the recent pa
