Given the centrality of literacy-based practices in schools, a book focusing on talk brings quite different and important perspectives to the study of educa

Overview: Provides an in-depth review of the development of window overhang design methods.Includes descriptions of Olgyays‘ and Mazria‘s solar path methods.Covers modern simulation and optimisation methods, toIt is estimated that windows in office buildings are responsible for one third of energy used for their heating and cooling. Designing window shading that balances often contradictory goals of preventing excessive heat gains in hot periods, without compromising beneficial heat gains in cold periods or visual comfort in indoor spaces of modern buildings with highly glazed facades, is an i

Overview: Covers the important debate currently taking place in the software industry *.This source will be in great demand as the debate continues * Henderson-Sellers is a leading figure in the software engineObject technology is maturing rapidly. One sign of that is the formality of the discussions that occur all around the world: at conferences, in newsgroups, in industry developer groups and in academe. One face of formality is metamodelling: seeking the model of the model that gives the rules by which the model itself is constructed. In OT terms, it means seeking the underpinning rules in

Overview: Oscillation theory was born with Sturm‘s work in 1836. It has been flourishing for the past fifty years. Nowadays it is a full, self-contained discipline, turning more towards nonlinear and functional differential equations. Oscillation theory flows along two main streams. The first aims to study prop­ erties which are common to all linear differential equations. The other restricts its area of interest to certain families of equations and studies in maximal details phenomena which characterize only those equations. Among them we find third and fourth order equations, self adjoint eq

Overview: Covers information on basic science and clinical practice aspects on ovarian aging.Tips in diagnosis and management of ovarian aging and damage.Written by experts with extensive experience in the fiel.Ovarian aging is a core factor in female aging, leading not only to reduced reproductive function such as infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss and congenital anomalies, but also to perimenopausal syndromes, genitourinary syndrome of menopause and related diseases (osteoporosis, cognitive disorders, cardiovascular disease, etc.).

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This is the ?rst in a series of three volumes dedicated to the lecture notes of the Summer School ”Open Quantum Systems” which took place at the Institut Fourier in Grenoble from June 16th to July 4th 2003. The contributions presented in these volumes are revised and expanded versions of the notes provided to the students during the School. Closed vs. Open Systems By de?nition, the time evolution of a closed physical systemS is deterministic. It is usually described by a differential equation x ? = X(x ) on the manifold M of t t possible con?gurations

Overview: .This book makes available for the first time in English a substantial part of Otto Neurath‘s economic writings. The essays and small monographs translated here extend from his student years to his last ever finished piece. They chart not only Neurath‘s varied interests in the economic history of antiquity, in war economics and schemes for the socialisation of peacetime economies, in the theory of welfare measures and social indicators and in issues of the theory of collective choice, but also show his philosophical interests emerging in his contributions to seminal debates of the Ge

Overview: The primary literature on organometallic chemistry has undergone phenomenal growth. The number of papers published from 1951 to 1976 is about equal to all prior literature. Together with this intense activity there has developed a complexity in the literature. Thus, specialized texts and teaching texts, a review journal, an advanced series, and a research journal have all appeared during this period. The present series also reflects this growth and recognizes that many categories of organometallic compounds now have numerous representatives in the literature. The purpose of Organomet

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The fifth International Telework Workshop was held in Stockholm in the fall of 2000. The conference was attended by almost 100 participants from all continents of the world. It therefore covered a broad range of subjects relating to Telework. Its success was in some part due to the work of the program committee composed of Birger Rapp (General Chairman), Maarten Botterman, Geoff Dick, Gil Gordon, Ursula Huws, Paul Jackson, Peter Johnston, Patricia L. Mokhtarian, Victor de Pous, Lars Qvotrup, Wendy Spinks and Reirna Suomi. After the conference we decid
