Overview: Presents up-to-date open source GIS solutions for transportation and smart city applications.Offers a good balance of research findings and urban use cases.Addresses both researchers and practitioners.This book is mainly focused on two themes: transportation and smart city applications. Open geospatial science and technology is an increasingly important paradigm that offers the opportunity to promote the democratization of geographical information, the transparency of governments and institutions, as well as social, economic and urban opportunities. During the past decade, developmen

Overview: Of the works by Franz Brentano (1838-1917) which have appeared in thus far, perhaps none is better suited to convey a clear idea of the English spirit of the man that this volume of his lectures on proving the existence of God. In order to understand his metaphysics, it would he better to read The Theory of Categories; in order to master the finer points of his psychology, it would be better to read Psychology From an Empirical Standpoint; in order to appreciate his ethical theory, it would be better to read The Origin of Our Knowledge of Right and Wrong or, for a more thorough treat

Overview: Traditionelle Bewertungsverfahren, wie die Discounted Cash-Flow Methode, sind nicht geeignet, komplexe Investitionsvorhaben und Akquisitionen adäquat zu bewerten. Sie berücksichtigen weder die operative Flexibilität des Management noch das Vorhandensein strategischer Optionen, die mit der Übernahme von Unternehmen verbunden sein können. Christian Koch entwickelt auf Basis des Binominalansatzes ein praxisnahes Bewertungsinstrument zur Berechnung von Realoptionen bei Unternehmenskäufen. Das Instrumentarium differenziert zwischen strategischen, operativen und finanzseitigen Optionen. An

Overview: This book contains all the papers presented at the NATO workshop on "Optical Switching in Low Dimensional Systems" held in Marbella, Spain from October 6th to 8th, 1988. Optical switching is a basic function for optical data processing, which is of technological interest because of its potential parallelism and its potential speed. Semiconductors which exhibit resonance enhanced optical nonlinearities in the frequency range close to the band edge are the most intensively studied materials for optical bistability and fast gate operation. Modern crystal growth techniques, particularly

Overview: The International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT) was founded in 1973 "to facilitate the exchange of scientific information among those interested in any aspect of the transport and/or utilization of oxygen in tissues". Its members span virtually all disciplines, ex­ tending from various branches of clinical medicine such as anesthesiology, ophthalmology and surgery through the basic medical sciences of physiology and biochemistry to the physical sciences and engineering. The fifteenth annual meeting of ISOTT was held in 1987 for three days, from July 22 to 24, at Hokka

Overview: During the last two decades, in several branches of science (water waves, crystal growth, travelling waves in one dimensional lattices, splitting of separatrices,...) different problems appeared in which the key point is the computation of exponentially small terms. This self-contained monograph gives new and rigorous mathematical tools which enable a systematic study of such problems. Starting with elementary illuminating examples, the book contains (i) new asymptotical tools for obtaining exponentially small equivalents of oscillatory integrals involving solutions of nonlinear diff

Overview: Demonstrates an innovative auto-teach(er)/ing focused research approach to research.Presents the notion that pedagogical spaces generate learners in a multiplicity of ways.Discusses real-world applica.This book introduces a research method called ‘auto-teach(er)/ing-focused research,’ a research process that aims to document understandings generated by, and for the teacher when that teacher teaches or re-teaches a course. It demonstrates how this method is applied by the author/researcher within the pedagogical space that is the teaching of a course, one that has been taught numerous

Overview: An important resource in the burgeoning field of socio-cultural readings within mathematics education.Offers unique approaches to interpreting research within the mathematics education field and takesIn this chapter we interrogate the debate between mathematicians and mathematics educators. This debate is widely recognized in the United States, for instance, where the term ‘math wars’ is often used in reference to the heated disagreements between mathematicians and mathematics edu- tors. Such recognition might suggest that this topic itself has relevance both for the academy and for

Overview: An up-to-date and comprehensive guide of all the essential obstetrics information specifically needed by the primary and family medicine physician.Addresses the major issues and problems related to ea.This book surveys the normal obstetrics encountered in primary care and serves as a practical guide to the evaluation and management of common prenatal, peripartum and postpartum complications. Thoroughly revised and updated, .Obstetrics in Family Medicine, .Second Edition, addresses the major issues and problems related to each stage and outlines management protocols. It provides criti

Overview: Both object orientation and parallelism are modern programmingparadigms which have gained much popularity in the last 10-15years. Object orientation raises hopes for increased productivity ofsoftware generation and maintenance methods. Parallelism can serve tostructure a problem but also promises faster program execution. .The two areas of computing science in which these paradigms play themost prominent role are programming languages and databases. Inprogramming languages, one can take an academic approach with aprimary focus on the generality of the semantics of the languageconstru

Overview: Diese Studie hat sich einen doppelten Umbruch zum Gegenstand gemacht: politische Wende und Arbeitslosigkeit werden in ihren Auswirkungen auf die Betroffenen untersucht. Dem Forschungsbericht liegen offene Interviews und Biographiefragebögen von 50 Lehrerinnen und Lehrern vor, die nach der Wende in den neuen Bundesländern arbeitslos geworden sind..Die verbindet dabei verschiedene theoretische Perspektiven: .- Vom Blickwinkel sozialwissenschaftlicher Transformationsforschung aus werden die subjektiven Wirkungen gesellschaftlicher Veränderungsprozesse im Rahmen der Deutschen Einheit unt

Overview: Eclipses have long been seen as important celestial phenomena,whether as omens affecting the future of kingdoms, or as usefulastronomical events to help in deriving essential parameters fortheories of the motion of the moon and sun. This is the first book tocollect together all presently known records of timed eclipseobservations and predictions from antiquity to the time of theinvention of the telescope. In addition to cataloguing and assessingthe accuracy of the various records, which come from regions asdiverse as Ancient Mesopotamia, China, and Europe, the sources inwhich they ar

Overview: Presents the first unified proof of the Hall–Paige conjecture.Discusses the actions of groups on designs derived from latin squares.Includes an extensive list of open problems on the construction and This monograph presents a unified exposition of latin squares and mutually orthogonal sets of latin squares based on groups. Its focus is on orthomorphisms and complete mappings of finite groups, while also offering a complete proof of the Hall–Paige conjecture. The use of latin squares in constructions of nets, affine planes, projective planes, and transversal designs also motivates thi

Overview: This book examines the London 2012 opening and closing ceremonies and the handover to Rio 2016 as articulations of national and cosmopolitan belonging. The ceremonial performances supported imaginative travel and created a tornadóros: an ideal form of ‘human‘ that manipulates audiovisual narratives of culture and identity for global audiences.978-1-137-33632-3Series ISSN 2947-5783 Series E-ISSN 2947-5791

Overview: Overall representation of the role of the ocean in the global carbon cycle.Includes supplementary material: .Oceans account for 50% of the anthropogenic CO.2. released into the atmosphere. During the past 15 years an international programme, the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), has been studying the ocean carbon cycle to quantify and model the biological and physical processes whereby CO.2. is pumped from the ocean‘s surface to the depths of the ocean, where it can remain for hundreds of years. This project is one of the largest multi-disciplinary studies of the oceans ever car
