Overview: Includes supplementary material: Anyone who doubts that astronomy is enjoying a golden age has only to browse the pages of Organizations and Strategies in Astronomy, Vol. 5. Our golden age is defined not only by the enormity of new discoveries of dark energy, dark matter, extra-solar planets, and the evolution of Mars, but also by the breadth, diversity, and creativity within our community. This volume records our history, in a period of such rapid change and growth that individual astronomers are hard-pressed to keep abreast of their own fields and neighborhoods, much less of develo

Overview: French novelist Marcel Proust instructs us that, “a voyage of discovery consists, not of seeking new landscapes, but of seeing through new eyes.” Nowhere in the practice of education do we need to see through new eyes than in the domain of assessment. We have been trapped by our collective experiences to see a limited array of things to be assessed, a very few ways of assessing them, limited strategies for communicating results and inflexible roles of players in the assessment drama. This edited book of readings jolts us out of traditional habits of mind about assessment. An internat

Overview: Provides an overview of the state-of-the art and the latest developments in the study of molecular coupling at the single-molecule scale.Covers the theoretical and experimental techniques used to studWith contributions by leading international experts, this book presents a detailed compilation of a new and very active field. It is the first book devoted to the covalent coupling of molecular precursors on surfaces that allows the preparation of 0D, 1D and 2D molecules that cannot be synthesized in solution. This book is aimed at students and researchers interested in nanochemistry and

Overview: Many archaeologists – both academic and professional – work with sites that are open or in view of the public.While there are several books in the field of preservation and heritage protection for terThose charged with protection of resources falling within the public domain, including submerged sites, continuously strive to find the best management solutions. Given the advent of recreational diving in the last half century and advances in underwater survey and exploration technology, pressures have increased dramatically on submerged archaeological sites. Users of these p- lic resou

Overview: Ziel der Reihe ,Geschlecht und Gesellschaft‘ ist es, herausragende wissenschaftliche Beiträge und Untersuchungen zu publizieren, in denen die Impulse der Frauenforschung für die Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften dokumentiert werden..In diesem Band: Im Zentrum des Buches steht die Frage danach, ob ein systematischer Zusammenhang zwischen Organisation und Geschlecht besteht und, wenn ja, wie er hergestellt wird. Dazu wird zunächst die theoretische Spannbreite zwischen den Polen ,Organisationen sind geschlechtsneutral‘ und ,Organisationen sind strukturell gendered‘ differenziert aufgefäc

Overview: This work (in two parts), Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathe­ matical Systems, Volume 105 and 106, constitutes the Proceedings of the Fourteenth Biennual Seminar of the Canadian Mathematical Congress, which was held from August 12 to August 25, 1973 at the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario. The Canadian Mathematical Congress has held Biennual Seminars since 19~7, and these have covered a wide range of topics. The Seminar reported in this publication was concerned with "Optimal Control Theory and its Applications", a subject chosen for its active ~rowth and its wide imp

Overview: First English translation of the original German edition.Provides systematic tables on the relative class number of imaginary abelian number fields.Contains rigorous results on the class numbers of ab.With this translation, the classic monograph .Über die Klassenzahl abelscher Zahlkörper. by Helmut Hasse is now available in English for the first time..The book addresses three main topics: class number formulas for abelian number fields; expressions of the class number of real abelian number fields by the index of the subgroup generated by cyclotomic units; and the Hasse unit index of

Overview: Europe is on the road to monetary union (EMU) even if there may be delays and diversions on the way. The focal point of EMU will be its single currency, valid throughout all participating countries, and replacing the national currencies. There will be considerable transitional pain and stress, most of all for member states with very high public debts. For the rest, the road ahead will not be smooth, but should be assisted by easier monetary policy in Germany since 1993. For some countries at least, the pain will be aggravated unnecessarily by design defects in the transitional rules

The volume will outline the importance of oncodynamics from both a cancer patient’s and a caregive

Overview: An exploration of how the Olympics are organised in response to risk.

Overview: Step-by-step presentation of oncoplastic procedures.Additional high-quality drawings that point out important aspects of the interventions.Focuses on "small" oncoplastic interventions and their realizThe initial idea to write a book on oncoplastic techniques was raised through a meeting on breast cancer treatment in Saalfelden, A- tria two years ago. Contrary to the rather minor role breast surgery is conceded today compared to other treatment modalities the s- geons role on the further outcome of the disease is crucial and never compensated by radiation or adjuvant therapy. Whereas
