Overview: Het boek Omgaan met agressie geeft inzicht in vormen van agressie en geweld en het ontstaan van agressie. Praktijkvoorbeelden en suggesties maken duidelijk hoe escalatie van geweld kan worden voorkomen en hoe een ontstane acute geweldsituatie zonder tegengeweld kan worden beëindigd. In dit boek staan vier punten centraal: leren omgaan met (eigen) agressie- leren herkennen van agressiepatronen bij een cliëntontwikkelen van vaardigheden in het omgaan met agressief gedragbegeleiden van cliënten bij het leren omgaan met agressie.

Overview: The fields of hydrodesulfurization (HDS) and hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) continue to attract the attention of researchers in the various disciplines connected to these fascinating problems that represent two of the key outstanding chemical challenges for the petroleum refining industry in view of their very strong environmental and commercial implications. One area that has flourished impressively over the last 15 years is the organometallic chemistry of thiophenes and other related sulfur-containing molecules. This has become a powerful method for modeling numerous surface species an

Overview: Connects basic cell biology with medical application opportunities.Provides insights from both laboratory and clinical research.Contributes to a progessive scientific discussion in molecular medicine.This book sheds light on how dysregulated organelle functions contribute to the pathology and progression of human diseases. To offer a broad perspective, they discuss basic, translational, and clinical aspects across scales, from molecules to cells, tissues and organisms. Rather than providing a comprehensive introduction to the field, the authors focus on recent advances in organelle r

Overview: With the start of EMU, the Eurosystem has taken over monetary policy for the 11 countries of the Euro-area. But the division of powers within the Eurosystem, between the European Central Bank and the constituent National Central Banks, is not satisfactory. This volume provides an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the Eurosystem and offers concrete proposals concerning the decision-making organs, balance sheets and the distribution of seigniorage.978-1-349-41813-8978-0-333-98188-7

Overview: Up-to-date information on all aspects of orofacial pain biomarkers.Discusses biomarkers for various types of orofacial pain.Identifies future directions and new challenges?This book provides up-to-date information on all aspects of orofacial pain biomarkers. It opens by presenting background information on clinical phenotypes and the neurobiological substrates underlying chronic orofacial pain and by explaining the potential role of biomarkers in the diagnosis, prognostic evaluation, and treatment of orofacial pain. The main section of the book examines the contribution of human and

Overview: This book takes stock of the biological and ecological aspects - from the gene to the ecosystem - to outline a "biological" theory of biodiversity..It shows us how these internal mechanisms are analogChance is necessary for living systems – from the cell to organisms, populations, communities and ecosystems. It is at the heart of their evolution and diversity. Long considered contingent on other factors, chance both produces random events in the environment, and is the product of endogenous mechanisms - molecular as well as cellular, demographic and ecological. This is how living thi

Overview: Building on the philosophies of the social sciences and of religion, the book is concerned with the interplay between the inner powers of individuals and the structures of their societies and also with how these inner powers affect how they see outer realities. Dorothy Emmet looks at persons in a world of impersonal processes. She is critical of the notion of a personal God, but sees the emergence of personal activities as constrained but also sustained through ‘an enabling universe‘.978-1-349-26674-6978-1-349-26672-2

Overview: The eye has fascinated scientists from the earliest days of biological investigation. The diversity of its parts and the precision of their interac­ tion make it a favorite model system for a variety of developmental studies. The eye is a particularly valuable experimental system not only because its tissues provide examples of fundamental processes, but also because it is a prominent and easily accessible structure at very early embryonic ages. In order to provide an open forum for investigators working on all aspects of ocular development, a series of symposia on ocular and visual

Overview: One of the most important and challenging problems in control is the derivation of systematic tools for the computation of controllers for constrained nonlinear systems that can guarantee closed-loop stability, feasibility, and optimality with respect to some.performance index. This book focuses on the efficient and systematic computation of closed-form optimal controllers for the powerful class of fast-sampled constrained piecewise affine systems. These systems may exhibit rather complex behavior and are equivalent to many other hybrid system formalisms (combining continuous-valued

Overview: Only book on the subject.With numerous figures and tables.Exercises with solutions.Textbook for courses and self-study.With a step-by-step application development as example.Includes supplementary mat.Nowadays, newly developed software packages are often obsolete already at the time of their introduction. Object-oriented software development is a possible—if not the only—solution to this dilemma: applications are modeled as software objects that describe the properties and the behavior of real-world entities. Such objects are encapsulated, in that they hide—behind a publicly known in

Overview: Details the influence of collaborative web-based technology on learning environments and learning behavior.Provides educators, teachers, lecturers and students with a practical guide to developing cus.Today we are seeing a new form of blended learning: not only is technology enhancing the learning environment but formal and informal learning are combining and there is self- and peer-assessment of results. Open learning cultures are challenging the old and long-practiced methods used by educators and transforming learning into a more student-driven and independent activity , which use
