Overview: A clear and detailed introduction to plasmonics as applied to metallic nanoparticles.Emphasizes computational approaches, while also demonstrating the important interplay between theory and experiment.This book introduces the fascinating world of plasmonics and physics at the nanoscale, with a focus on simulations and the theoretical aspects of optics and nanotechnology. A research field with numerous applications, plasmonics bridges the gap between the micrometer length scale of light and the secrets of the nanoworld. This is achieved by binding light to charge density oscillations

Overview: Infinite dimensional systems can be used to describe many phenomena in the real world. As is well known, heat conduction, properties of elastic­ plastic material, fluid dynamics, diffusion-reaction processes, etc., all lie within this area. The object that we are studying (temperature, displace­ ment, concentration, velocity, etc.) is usually referred to as the state. We are interested in the case where the state satisfies proper differential equa­ tions that are derived from certain physical laws, such as Newton‘s law, Fourier‘s law etc. The space in which the state exists is called

Overview: The first book that combines American and European perspectives on environmental philosophy.The only book dealing with transatlantic conversations about ecological restoration and conservation.Brings This is the first collection of essays in which European and American philosophers explicitly think out their respective contributions and identities as environmental thinkers in the analytic and continental traditions. The American/European, as well as Analytic/Continental collaboration here bears fruit helpful for further theorizing and research. The essays group around three well-defi

Overview: Drawing together interview material, medical publications, and first-hand accounts, this book shows that what is being remade in the burgeoning medical field of face transplantation is not only the lives of patients, but also the very ways that state institutions, surgeons, and families make sense of rights, claims for inclusion, and life itself.978-1-137-45272-6

Overview: Wie der Diskurs um die Postmoderne die Organisationstheorie bereichertOrganisationen sind Veranstaltungen der Welterschließung. Ihr Sinn ist die organisierte Fest-Stellung von Bedeutungen und Handlungsweisen angesichts unabstellbarer Mehrdeutigkeit und Veränderlichkeit. Kann angesichts dessen der Diskurs um die so genannte Postmoderne die Organisationstheorie bereichern? Das Buch gibt eine entschiedene Antwort, nicht nur programmatisch, sondern durch dekonstruktive Analysen der wichtigsten Organisationsprobleme. Themen sind:.• der Diskurs um die Postmoderne zwischen Habermas, Giddens

Overview: Presents the first linear method to calibrate all central projection systems and fisheye cameras.Introduces a generic approach to obtain the scale space of any central projection system, by combining .This work focuses on central catadioptric systems, from the early step of calibration to high-level tasks such as 3D information retrieval. The book opens with a thorough introduction to the sphere camera model, along with an analysis of the relation between this model and actual central catadioptric systems. Then, a new approach to calibrate any single-viewpoint catadioptric camera is

Overview: Über Extremismus und den ExtremismusbegriffBestimmte Formen politischer Devianz werden regelmäßig für „extremistisch“ erklärt. Was damit gemeint ist, scheint intuitiv einleuchtend und wird in der „Extremismustheorie“ auch wissenschaftlich bestimmt. Verschiedene Kritiken an dieser Konzeption zeigen jedoch, dass das Extremismusmodell erhebliche analytische Schwächen aufweist und zugleich politisch folgenreich ist. Der Sammelband verhandelt u.a. Geschichte, Praxis und Alternativen der politischen Semantik des „Extremismus“ aus einer interdisziplinären Perspektive: Worin liegen die Probl

Overview: PR als Managementfunktion von gewinnorientierten, Non-Profit-Unternehmen und öffentlicher VerwaltungDie Dynamik in der Öffentlichkeit und die Globalisierung der ökonomischen Märkten erfordert zunehmende Kompetenzen im Kommunikationsmanagement von Organisationen. Die Führung der Kommunikation und deren Risiken haben strategischen Charakter im Wettbewerb. Für diese Herausforderungen erreichen einseitige Konzeptionen aus der Public Relations und dem Marketing oder die instrumentell ausgerichteten Managementmodelle der Organisationskommunikation nur ungenügende Performance. Der Band ersc

Overview: In recent years organic sulfur chemistry has been growing at an even faster pace than the very rapid development in other fields of chemistry. This phenomenal growth is undoubtedly a reflection of industrial and public demands: not only was sulfur recently in overall surplus for the first time in the history of the chemical industry but it has now become a prin­ cipal environmental hazard in the form of sulfur dioxide, sulfuric acid and hydrogen sulfide. Another reason, discernible in the last fifteen years, has been the desire, on the part of individual chemists and all types of res

Overview: Presents the unique expertise of international investigating groups in ovarian cancers.An up-to-date review of current management of ovarian cancers with a large focus on rare ovarian cancers.Advances.This book provides an overview of the latestdevelopments in the concepts and management of ovarian cancer.

Overview: Ein ausgesprochenes Bedürfnis bestand nach einerneuen orthopädisch-chirurgischen Opera­ tionslehre. Diese Auffassung drängte sich mir bei Gesprächen mit Kollegen immer wieder auf. Zwei Jahrzehnte liegen zurück, seitdem die letzte Auflage der orthopädischen Operationslehre von VuLPIUS-STOFFEL und die Technik des orthopädischen Eingriffes von ERLACHER erschienen sind. Die Orthopädie oder besser die orthopädische Chirurgie hat sich seit diesem Zeitpunkt schnell weiterentwickelt. Zahlreiche Wandlungen sind in der Auffassung über verschiedene Operationsverfahren vollzogen. Manches alte V

Overview: Includes supplementary material: 1 Introduction There is little doubt that the vertebrate brain is the most complex structure we know. As with any complex structure, there is the immediate question about its origins. Howcouldsuchacomplexdesigndevelopfromthesimplestmulticellular animals? This problem has pervaded the study of evolutionary biology since its beginnings. Although Darwin (1859, 1871) proposed an impeccable mechanism (natural selection) for the gradual transformation of species including human origins, even he sometimes expressed certain doubts about the origin of highly c

Overview: Biography of one of the greatest biologists of the 20th century.Includes supplementary material: Ernst Mayr (1904–2005), eminent naturalist-systematist and ornithologist, “- chitect” of the Synthetic Theory of Evolution, leading evolutionary biologist and in?uential historian and philosopher of biology, was asked repeatedly by friends, associates, and peers to write an autobiography, but he always declined such s- gestions because he considered those of other people he knew as inadequate. Moreover, he could not very well talk about himself without bragging, which did not appeal to hi
