Overview: It is an honour and pleasure to write a foreword to this useful and interesting book. Authors are very well known researchers who pioneered percolation modelling of transport in porous media in Russia from the early 80-th till nowadays. The main scope of the work presented in the book was developed when bright papers by A. Aharony, H.T. Davis, F.A.L. Dullien, A.A. Heiba, R.G. Larson, R. Lenormand, M.Sahimi, L.E. Scriven, D. Stauffer, M. Yanuka, Y.C.Yortsos were not available at the "other" side of the Iron Curtain. Nowadays hundreds of works and papers with the "percolation" keywords

Overview: Provides guidance and information about the latest therapeutic advances.Dr. Carp is internationally known for his work on fertility.This book fills a need in the field by giving a comprehensive, all eThis book brings together the most up-to-date information about the physiology of progestogens. This volume addresses the bidirectional communication between hormones, fertility, tumors, and autoimmunity. It provides the basic science and clinical perspectives of progestogens which have not been previously available in one volume. In addition to estrogens, androgens, mineralocorticoids a

Overview: Metal ions and proteins are ubiquitous. Therefore, not surprisingly, new protein-metal interactions continue to be dis­ covered, and their importance is increasingly recognized in both physical and life sciences. Because the subject matter is so broad and affects so many disciplines, in organizing this Symposium, I sought participation of speakers with the broadest possible range of interests. Twenty-two accepted my invitation. To supplement the verbal presentations, the Proceedings include five closely re­ lated invited contributions. The ideas expressed are those of the various aut

Overview: Modern forest products research had its start hardly fifty years ago. Today we are in a position to apply the title "wood science" to the field of wood technology that is based on scientific investigation, theoretical as well as experimental. It is this research that fosters new uses for wood as a raw material and that creates the foundation for new industries for the manufacture of wood-base materials such as plywood, laminated products, particle and fiber board and sand­ wich construction. Wood technology in its broadest sense combines the disciplines of wood anatomy, biology, chem

Overview: Zur politischen Bedeutung von GraffitiSind die unzähligen Sprüche und Schriftzüge auf Häuserwänden, Haltestellen, Parkbänken, etc. nur Zufallsprodukte und unsystematische Mitteilungen oder wohnt ihnen eine weiterreichende Bedeutung inne? Sind Graffiti leere Parolen und Sprüche oder ernstzunehmende Projektionen gesellschaftlicher Phänomene des urbanen Lebens?.Der Sammelband stellt Graffiti als Sprache an den Wänden in das Zentrum einer interdisziplinären wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung. Die Beiträge fokussieren dabei nicht nur die konkrete Seite des Phänomens Graffiti, sondern e

Overview: Up to date results.State of the art research.Fast track conference proceedingsThis book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation, IPEC 2012, in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in September 2012. The 21 revised full papers presented together with 2 keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The topics addressed cover research in all aspects of parameterized/exact algorithms and complexity including but are not limited to new techniques for the design and analysis of parameterized and exact algorith

Overview: Besides its obvious destructive potential, military R&D alsoserves to protect human lives, equipment and facilities against theeffects of weapons. Concepts have therefore been developed thatimprove safety of stationary and mobile facilities against pressurewaves, thermal radiation and fire. Effective, fast fire extinguishingequipment has been designed for tank compartments and motors. Closedbuildings are demolished and landmines are removed with gas and dustexplosions. Stringent safety requirements have been developed for theproduction of ammunition and explosives. Military and relat

Overview: Third edition has been reoganized to provide better information flow for readers who are either new or experienced Pyomo users.Unique book describing the user-friendly Pyomo modeling tool, the most co.This book provides a complete and comprehensive guide to Pyomo (Python Optimization Modeling Objects) for beginning and advanced modelers, including students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, academic researchers, and practitioners. Using many examples to illustrate the different techniques useful for formulating models, this text beautifully elucidates the breadth of modeling c

Overview: Political accommodation in Northern Ireland, Israel and South Africa at the macro level may not, by itself, be sufficient to achieve the long-term goals of building peace and reconciliation. This book uses Lederach‘s peace-building model to explore issues which may provide a basis for transformation and a lasting peace in the three countries.978-0-333-97778-1

Overview: .Public Technology Procurement and Innovation. studiespublic technology procurement as an instrument of innovation policy.In the past few years, public technology procurement has been arelatively neglected topic in the theoretical and research literatureon the economics of innovation. Similarly, preoccupation with`supply-side‘ measures has led policy-makers to avoid making veryextensive use of this important `demand-side‘ instrument. These trendshave been especially pronounced in the European Union. There, as thisbook will argue, existing legislation governing public procurementprese

Overview: Verbesserung der Übereinstimmung zwischen Simulation und Versuch.Eine hohe Prognosegüte von Crashberechnungen ist eine wichtige Voraussetzung für deren stetig wachsenden Einsatz in der Karosserieauslegung. Auch wenn die Abbildungsgüte der Berechnungen mit Stahlstrukturen bereits ein hohes Niveau erreicht hat, ist eine kontinuierliche Verbesserung und Weiterentwicklung der Simulationen von höchster Bedeutung für die Fahrzeugentwicklung. Philipp Wellkamp leistet mit seiner Forschungsstudie einen Beitrag zur methodischen Analyse von gefügten Karosseriestrukturen aus Stahl. In diesem Rah
