Overview: Recently discovered ancient silk and bamboo manuscripts have transformed our understanding of classical Chinese thought. In this book, Wang Zhongjiang closely examines these texts and, by parsing the complex divergence between ancient and modern Chinese records, reveals early Chinese philosophy to be much richer and more complex than we ever imagined. As numerous and varied cosmologies sprang up in this cradle of civilization, beliefs in the predictable movements of nature merged with faith in gods and their divine punishments. Slowly, powerful spirits and gods were stripped of their

Overview: .Optical Resonators. provides a detailed discussion of the properties of optical resonators for lasers from basic theory to recent research.

Overview: Die Mobilität hat aufgrund neuerer Informations-, Kommunikations- und Transporttechniken nicht nur im privaten Sektor, sondern auch in der Arbeitswelt an Bedeutung gewonnen. Doch die damit einhergehende Veränderung der Rahmenbedingungen mobiler Arbeit bringt Koordinations- und Motivationsprobleme für die Organisation mit sich, die von der klassischen Organisationslehre bislang kaum beachtet wurden. Auf Basis von Fallstudien und Expertengesprächen unterschiedlicher Branchen analysiert Bernd A. Schulte theoretisch fundiert die Organisationsprobleme mobiler Arbeitsverhältnisse. Der Auto

Overview: Contains numerous helpful examples and exercises that provide motivation for the reader.Presents the Laplace transform early in the text and uses it to motivate and develop solution methods for differ.Unlike most texts in differential equations, this textbook gives an early presentation of the Laplace transform, which is then used to motivate and develop many of the remaining differential equation concepts for which it is particularly well suited. For example, the standard solution methods for constant coefficient linear differential equations are immediate and simplified, and soluti

Overview: Der vorliegende Band dokumentiert eine Tagung, die von der Sektion »Poli­ tische Soziologie« der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Soziologie im Juni 1998 an der Universität-Gesamthochschule Siegen zum Thema »Krieg und Ge­ walt« abgehalten wurde. Die Entscheidung, das Thema Krieg und Gewalt zum Gegenstand einer Sektionssitzung zu machen, hatte recht unterschiedli­ che Gründe. Es gab auf der einen Seite aktuelle tagespolitische Anlässe - wie den Krieg im ehemaligen Jugoslawien oder die öffentliche Diskussion über eine vermeintliche Zunahme der Gewalt in unserer Gesellschaft. Zum ande­ ren ha

Overview: Herbal remedies to prevent and treat common oral diseases.Review of dental hygiene practice in developing countries.Case studies of plant-derived therapeutics.Oral health loss is one of the major problems existing all over the world and is one of the top causes of death when unmanaged. The oral cavity is home to numerous pathogenic microorganisms, some of which are responsible for the progression and development of various systemic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and myocardial infarction. Worldwide, 60–90% of school children and nearly 100% of adults have dental cavities, often le

Overview: Operative Neurosurgery, Volume II, presents the major neurosurgical procedures in­ volving the posterior fossa, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. As in Volume I, the text describes and the figures illustrate the step-by-step surgical technique. Emphasis is placed on anatomical topographie views of the operative exposure as seen by the surgeon. The contents have been arranged on the basis of anatomicallocation rather than etiology. Although this book is primarily based on the experience of the neurosurgical service at Walter Reed General Hospital, its content reflects only the views

Overview: Some recent developments in the mathematics of optimization, including the concepts of invexity and quasimax, have not previously been applied to models of economic growth, and to finance and investme.Many optimization questions arise in economics and finance; an important example of this is the society‘s choice of the optimum state of the economy (the social choice problem). Optimization in Economics and Finance extends and improves the usual optimization techniques, in a form that may be adopted for modeling social choice problems. Problems discussed include: when is an optimum rea

Overview: Optoelectronic devices transform electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa by utilizing the sophisticated interaction of electrons and light within micro- and nano-scale semiconductor str.Optoelectronic devices transform electrical signals into optical signals (and vice versa) by utilizing the interaction of electrons and light.
