Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-98398-6978-3-642-99210-0

Die Ultraschalldiagnostik wird nicht unabhängig abgehandelt, sondern in den augenärztlichen Untersuchungsgang eingeordnet. Ausgehend vom klinischen Bild wird die I

Overview: Postmoderne Organisationsforschung - systematisch untersuchtEs gibt in der jüngeren Zeit nicht viele intellektuellen Debatten, die einen so nach­ haltigen Einfluss auf die Theoriebildung in den verschiedensten Disziplinen gehabt haben wie die Postmoderne. Zu den Disziplinen, die sich in besonderem Maße von dieser zunächst vor allem philosophischen Debatte haben anregen lassen, gehört zweifellos die Organisationstheorie. Die Reaktionen auf die Rezeption waren heftig, und zwar sowohl auf Seiten der Befürworter als auch auf Seiten der Kritiker. Die Thesen und Themen der Postmoderne erwi

Overview: This book on oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula sets out to describe all aspects of a congenital anomaly which has been described as ‘the epitome of modern surgery‘ and ‘the raison d‘ etre of paediatric surgery‘. Although the literature contains references to the survival of one baby with oesophageal atresia (without fistula) who was born in 1935, the major component of the oesophageal atresia story concerns the most frequent anomaly, namely oesophageal atresia with a distal tracheo-oesophageal fistula. The first long-term survivals of babies born with this anomaly w

Overview: This volume is the proceedings of the Workshop on Optimal Design and Control that was held in Blacksburg, Virginia, April 8-9, 1994. The workshop was spon­ sored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research through the Air Force Center for Optimal Design and Control (CODAC) at Virginia Tech. The workshop was a gathering of engineers and mathematicians actively in­ volved in innovative research in control and optimization, with emphasis placed on problems governed by partial differential equations. The interdisciplinary nature of the workshop and the wide range of subdisciplines rep

Overview: Erste Biographie zu Otto Blumenthal, mit vielen Schriften und Briefen.Vermittelt ein lebhaftes Bild des Lebens und Wirkens Blumenthals und seiner Zeitgenossen (u.a. Hilbert, Klein, Sommerfeld, von KárOtto Blumenthals Karriere war geprägt von Glück und Tragik. Als erster Doktorand wie auch Biograph David Hilberts stand er dem berühmten Göttinger Milieu sehr nah. Er wirkte fast drei Jahrzehnte an der Technischen Hochschule Aachen, wo er mit Kollegen wie Arnold Sommerfeld, Theodor von Kármán und Erich Trefftz zusammenarbeitete. Als ein weltoffener Geist pflegte Blumenthal viele Freundsc

Overview: Presents a convincing and overdue introduction to the “animal turn” in 21st century literature and literary criticism.Demonstrates that behind what were earlier thought to be only anthropomorphic figu.This book is about ordinary animals and how they are imagined in twenty-first century fiction. Examining contemporary animal representations and the fraught and potent distinctions humans fashion between themselves and all other animals, it asks how a range of novels make, re-make or un-make traditional conceptions of the creatures we love, admire, eat, vilify and abuse. .Other Animals.

Overview: Connects semiotics to cultural realities and trends.Updates all content, working to make language more accessible and to replace outdated examples with contemporary subjects.Incorporates new ideas, mo.This book deals with one the most interesting aspects of human life—the search for meaning. It discusses how the science of semiotics is equipped to provide insight on what meaning is and how we produce it. Why is it that certain people routinely put their survival at risk by smoking? Why is it that some women make locomotion difficult for themselves by donning high-heel footwear? Are t

Overview: The Gramineae, or grass family, is second in size only to the Compositeae, or sunflower family. It is among the most important plant families in the world. The major food crops of the world are found in the grass family. From time immemorial, grasses have provided food and shelter for humanity, domesticated livestock, and wildlife; without grasses, these forms of life might cease to exist. The grass family is large in size, diverse in habit, and ubiquitous in distribution. Earth would be bleak and bare, indeed, in the absence of this life-sustaining plant family. In addition to its e

Overview: Enables cancer therapeutic design to minimize tumor size and reduce treatment toxicity.Promotes understanding with simulation and illustrations.Develops an innovative approach to therapy modelling bas.This Springer brief discusses the use of control engineering methods to plan a cancer therapy which tends to reduce tumour size in patients, striking a balance that minimizes the toxic effects of the treatment. The authors address the design and computation of impulsive control therapies, a methodology previously underexplored in the application of control methods to medical modelling.
