Overview: Pulsed power technology, in the simplest of terms, usually concerns the storage of electrical energy over relatively long times and then its rapid release over a comparatively short period. However, if we leave the definition at that, we miss a multitude of aspects that are important in the ultimate application of pulsed power. It is, in fact, the application of pulsed power technology to which this series of texts will be foc~sed. Pulsed power in today‘s broader sense means "special power" as opposed to the traditional situation of high voltage impulse issues related to the utility

Overview: Presents an interdisciplinary approach for geography, environment and marine science and the role of education.A highly original area of work recognised as very important in policy terms by European aThis book provides an original review of Ocean Literacy as a component of public policy in Europe and beyond. The impact of the ocean on human activities is one of the most significant environmental issues facing humanity. By offering valuable insights into the interrelationships between geography, environment, marine science and education, the book explores key issues relating to the fu

Overview: Explores the fascinating history of clockmaking and orreries.Paints a vivid picture of London science and society.Includes new sections on planetariums and orreries in education.Orreries—mechanical models of the Solar System and its motions—are found everywhere. They appear in paintings, on computers, across natural landscapes, and in museums all over the world. The more you look, the more you find, yet their significance is often overlooked aside other great astronomical inventions..This book reclaims the history of the orrery, offering a fascinating look into its evolution over the

Overview: This book brings together a variety of the best papers from an international research symposium on organisational behaviour in healthcare. It includes contributions from key names such as Sandra Dawson and Peter Spurgeon with a foreword by Rosemary Stewart.

Overview: This book is written for the clinician who cares for adult patients with organic mental disease-with dysfunction of the brain producing mental symptoms. It should be read from cover to cover in order to get an overview of the field, if this misshapen mass of art, knowledge, tradition, and myth can be called a field. Since organic mental patients, often depressed themselves, sometimes induce depression in their physicians, I have inter­ spersed a few amusing anecdotes and outrageous analogies to raise morale. This book is not intended to be a step-by-step cookbook, but rather to discu

Overview: Presents the basic principles and theories of organic electronics materials.Easy to understand information from perspective of both chemistry and physics.Includes insights into recent developments oveThis book is an introductory text for graduate students, researchers in industries, and those who are just beginning to work on organic electronics materials, devices and their applications. The book includes mainly fundamental principles and theories for understanding organic electronics materials and devices, but also provides information about state-of-the-art technologies, applicatio

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by Kyoto University, Japan.Explores the physical mechanisms of new types of outbursts in dwarf novae through optical observations and numerical simulations.Int.Accretion disks are ubiquitous in our universe, and produce intense brightening.How does the gas in the disk lose its angular momentum to release massive amounts of gravitational energy? This is one of the biggest open questions in astronomy. This book studies four types of newly detected outbursts in dwarf novae through optical observations and/or numerical simulations and puts forward

Overview: Covers the most promising building blocks for nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices.Emphasizes unified mechanisms behind the diversity of one-dimensional nanostructures.Describes improved co.One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures, including nanowires, nanotubes and quantum wires, have been regarded as the most promising building blocks for nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices. Worldwide efforts in both the theory and the experimental investigation of growth, characterization and applications of 1D nanostructures have resulted in a mature, multidisciplinary field. In

Overview: In theory and practice, cross-functional teams (CFTs) are considered an essential requirement for the success of innovation projects. However, empirical research indicates that the use of CFTs does not automatically lead to successful innovation. It appears favorable that the - ployment of CFTs has to be directed as systematically as well as other organizational actions. Against this background, this dissertation deals with the phase-specific influence of organi- tional and environmental variables for the success of cross-functional innovation projects. New territory is entered by ap

Overview: Eine rekonstruktive Studie zu pädagogischer Praxis im Kontext des Salafismus.David Yuzva Clement untersucht das Handeln pädagogischer Fachkräfte in der Offenen Kinder- und Jugendarbeit in der Auseinandersetzung mit Radikalisierungsprozessen Jugendlicher zum Salafismus. Der Autor weist nach, dass ein Verstehen von Gründen und Kontexten von Radikalisierungsprozessen durch Essentialisierungen verhindert und Jugendlichen die objektivierte Position „des Anderen“ zugeschrieben wird. Hingegen führen verstehensorientierte Beobachtungs- und Handlungsformen zu unterschiedlichen pädagogischen A

Overview: Brings together the latest information on the organization, management and quality of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) units.Thematic sections cover unit establishment and organization, total quality manaBringing together the latest information on the organization, management and quality of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) units, this is the first true field guide for the clinician working in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Divided thematically into four main sections, part one discussed the establishment and organization of the IVF unit, including location, design and construction
