Overview: Introduces a new educational approach using only one-dimensional elements.Uses intuitive mathematics and is scientifically exact.Describes also advanced problems like composite materials and nonlinear. This textbook presents finite element methods using exclusively  one-dimensional elements. The aim is to present the complex methodology in  an easily understandable but mathematically correct fashion. The approach of  one-dimensional elements enables the reader to focus on the understanding of  the principles of basic and advanced mechanical problems. The reader easily  understands th

Overview: First sociological research of the topic.Organizational sociological perspective on the NS.On the "legalization" of illegal practices.This book takes an organizational sociological perspective on the systematically carried out mass murders in the context of Nazi euthanasia in Hadamar. On the basis of numerous theoretically elaborated as well as empirically proven organizational mechanisms, it is shown how these illegal practices were "normalized" in an extraordinary way by and for the personnel, who were not trained or otherwise predisposed to murder. The acts thus became a legitimat

Overview: Provides guidance for the healthcare team on treating and managing women with kidney disease.Covers the physiologic changes, pathophysiologic conditions and various diseases of the pregnant patient.Fi.The female patient with chronic kidney disease often requires care that differs from the male patient. Particularly in the pregnant patient, a specialized body of knowledge is required to provide optimal care. This book focuses on such issues encountered during pregnancy including physiology and pathophysiology of pregnancy, hypertension, preeclampsia, various electrolyte disorders, nep

Overview: Presents digital elevation models (DEMs) for offshore hydrocarbon exploration.Examines oil and gas exploration off Cuba’s coast.Highlights the importance of 2D and 3D seismic surveys as an exploration.This book provides an overview of the major changes induced by hydrocarbons (HCs) affecting rocks and surface sediments and their implications for non-seismic exploration methods, particularly for marine territories near Cuba. It examines the use of a digital elevation model (DEM) at 90x90m resolution for the detection of subtle, positive geomorphic anomalies related to hydrocarbon micr

Future systems technologies will build on a mature basis of silicon and IC technology,onwell-understoodprogramminglanguagesandsoftwareengineering techniques, and on well-established operating systems and middlew

Overview: Neue Perspektiven der SystemtheorieDie moderne Gesellschaft ist strukturell hochgradig differenziert und sie ist gleichzeitig flächendeckend von Organisationen durchzogen. In den meisten gesellschaftlichen Bereichen dominieren Organisationen das Geschehen. Die Rede von der Organisationsgesellschaft erscheint demnach höchst plausibel. Dass die komplexe Struktur der modernen Gesellschaft aber nicht auf einzelne Komponenten zu reduzieren ist, sondern ein ausdifferenziertes Gefüge unterschiedlicher Strukturkomponenten (Organisationen, Rollen, Professionen, Symbolmedien) ist, gehört zum W

Overview: Fifteen years ago NATO organised a conference entitled ‘Ocean Acoustic Modelling‘. Many of its participants were again present at this variability workshop. One such participant. in concluding his 1975 paper, quoted the following from a 1972 literature survey: ‘ ... history presents a sad lack of communications between acousticians and oceanographers‘ Have we done any better in the last 15 years? We believe so, but only moderately. There is still a massive underdeveloped potential for acousticians and oceanographers to make significant progress together. Currently, the two camps talk

Overview: Follow-up to the 1975 award-winning Theory of Optimal Search.Authors are three of the most respected names in Operations Research.Includes supplementary material: .This book begins with a review of basic results in optimal search for a stationary target. It then develops the theory of optimal search for a moving target, providing algorithms for computing optimal plans and examples of their use. Next it develops methods for computing optimal search plans involving multiple targets and multiple searchers with realistic operational constraints on search movement. These results assume th
