Overview: This book discusses three linguistic projects carried out in the seventeenth century: the artificial languages created by Dalgamo and Wilkins, and Leibniz‘s uncompleted scheme. It treats each of the projects as self­ contained undertakings, which deserve to be studied and judged in their own right.

At the same time, the characteristics of these schemes are linked with their intellectual context, and their multiple interrelations are examined at some length. I

Overview: The first book to examine evidence-based crime prevention through the use of the rigorous methodology of systematic reviews.An indispensable guide to the leading scientific evidence on what works best.Crime prevention should be rational and should be based on the best possible evidence.

Evidence-based crime preventi

Overview: Privacy preservation has become a major issue in many data analysis applications. When a data set is released to other parties for data analysis, privacy-preserving techniques are often required to reduce the possibility of identifying sensitive information about individuals. For example, in medical data, sensitive information can be the fact that a particular patient suffers from HIV. In spatial data, sensitive information can be a specific location of an individual. In web surfing data, the information that a user browses certain websites may be considered sensitive. Consider a dat

Overview: Der Zustand der Materie im Kosmos ist recht verschieden von demjeni­ gen, den wir normalerweise hier auf der Erdoberfläche vorfinden. Auf der Schule haben wir gelernt, daß die Materie auf der Erde in drei Aggregat­ zuständen in Erscheinung tritt, nämlich als fester Körper, als Flüssigkeit und als Gas. Diese drei Erscheinungsformen reichen zur physikalischen Beschrei­ bung der kosmischen Materie jedoch nicht aus, und es wäre vernünftig, sie durch eine vierte zu ergänzen, den sogenannten Plasmazustand. Er ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Atome oder Moleküle eines oder mehrere ihrer

Overview: In the preface to the first edition ofthis book, we expressed a conviction that there was a need for a short book that highlighted important advances in the new discipline of plant molecular biology. The rapid development of this topic has been brought about by the recognition of the unique properties of plants in the study of growth and development together with the application of recombinant DNA techniques to tackle these problems. Plant cells contain DNA in nuclei, plastids and mitochondria, and so offer the unique challenge of studying the interaction of three separate genetic sy
