Overview: Pragmatism attends to the practical outcomes of what we think and do, the social community in which we practice, and the bases of experience to inform our ideas and practices. Practice theories help explain what we do as complex systems of activity. Together, pragmatism and practice theories help broaden our understanding of the nature of engineering work as a social practice having important consequences for individuals and society. The practical nature of engineering embedded in our complex social and community systems is emphasized. Of all the pragmatists John Dewey‘s influence on

Overview: Discusses the influence of preparation techniques on the generation of micro-, meso- and nanoscale fillers and the effect of filler size and dispersion.Presents a thorough discussion of the physics, bThis book presents a thorough discussion of the physics, biology, chemistry and medicinal science behind a new and important area of materials science and engineering: polymer nanocomposites. The tremendous opportunities of polymer nanocomposites in the biomedical field arise from their multitude of applications and their ability to satisfy the vastly different functional requirements fo

Overview: Contrary to popular opinion, contemporary psychology in the USSR is far from being monolithic. It is true that the development of Soviet psychology does have characteristic features which distinguish it from the development of Western (and particularly Anglo-American) psychology. Perhaps the most distinguishing features of Soviet psychology are represented by the pre­ dominance of the historical-evolutionary approach and the emphasis on integrative physiological mechanisms underlying behavior. The development of Soviet psychological thinking can also be characterized as having been f

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by Purdue University.Describes tools for realizing quantum simulations in tunable 2D quantum gases.Presents precise techniques for imaging the evolution of colle.This thesis explores the physics of non-equilibrium quantum dynamics in homogeneous two-dimensional (2D) quantum gases. Ultracold quantum gases driven out of equilibrium have been prominent platforms for studying quantum many-body physics. However, probing non-equilibrium dynamics in conventionally trapped, inhomogeneous atomic quantum gases has been a challenging task because coexistin

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: ​Cinur Ghaderi zeigt die Veränderungen von Identitäten und Wertvorstellungen von politisch aktiven MigrantInnen, die aus einer Konfliktregion kommen. Im Fokus stehen ihre Selbstverortungen und der Wandel ihrer politisierten Identität. Sie macht multiple Formen der Identifizierung sichtbar und zeigt eine enorme Heterogenität sowie deutliche Differenzierungen am Beispiel kurdischer Ethnizitätsimaginationen und Geschlechterentwürfen. Zugleich erlauben die Daten limitierte Verallgemeinerungen, aus denen sich vier divergieren

Overview: Eine mathematische Geschichte zum Mitdenken und Staunen.Gewährt authentische und unterhaltsame Einblicke in die Mathematik.Setzt nur grundlegende Schulkenntnisse voraus.Entwickelt die Leibniz-Formel z.Spaß an der Mathematik haben? Ja, das geht wirklich, wie dieses Buch zeigt! ..Es erzählt wie ein Roman eine „mathematische Geschichte“. Man könnte behaupten, diese recht verworrene Geschichte drehe sich um eine umständliche Entwicklung einer Formel, mit deren Hilfe man die Kreiszahl Pi berechnen kann. Aber .eigentlich .geht es um etwas ganz anderes: Das Buch nimmt den Leser an der Hand,

Overview: th This volume contains the written versions of invited lectures presented at the 28 "Internationale Universitatswochen fUr Kernphysik" in Schladming, Austria in March 1989. The generous support of our sponsors, the Austrian Ministry of Science and Research, the Government of Styria, and others, made it again possible to invite expert lecturers. The courses were centered on elementary particle physics to be performed with large accelerators accessible in the immediate future, including some reports on the current situation. Thanks to the efforts of the speakers it was possible to obt

Overview: Die "Praktische Baustatik" besteht seit nunmehr 45 Jahren. Sie hat in dieser Zeit eine große Zahl von Neubearbeitungen und Überarbeitungen erfahren. Initiator und Autor der Teile I und 2 des Werkes war Baurat Dr. -Ing. C. Schreyer, der im Jahre 1945 viel zu früh verstarb. Der von ihm begonnene Teil 3 wurde fertiggestellt von Baurat Hermann Ramm, der zunächst allein und vom Jahre 1957 an mit Wal ter Wagner die Neubearbei­ tungen aller drei Teile besorgte. Im Jahre 1964 gaben Hermann Ramm und Walter Wagner den Teil 4 heraus, an dem Dr. -Ing. Hans Müggenburg mitwirkte. Hermann Ramm been

Overview: Plant-Microbe Interactions, Volume 2 Volume 1 of this series has made its appearance and dealt forcefully with impor­ tant current topics in the field of plant-microbe interactions. We believe that the quality of those chapters was high and should serve as a focal point for the state of the art as well as an enduring reference. Volume 2 builds upon these accom­ plishments. Chapter 1 discusses the fascinating lipo-chitin signal molecules from Rhizo­ bium, aspects regarding their biosynthesis, and the basis for host specificity. These molecules are a cardinal example of how microorgani

Overview: Provides access to some of the most important systems of paraconsistent logic.Up-to-date surveys of recent advancements in non-classical logics and their applications.Covers a broad range of philosophA logic is called ‘paraconsistent‘ if it rejects the rule called ‘ex contradictione quodlibet‘, according to which any conclusion follows from inconsistent premises. While logicians have proposed many technically developed paraconsistent logical systems and contemporary philosophers like Graham Priest have advanced the view that some contradictions can be true, and advocated a paraconsis
