Overview: It is the objective of the series IIMaterials Research and Engineeringll to publish information on technical facts and pro­ cesses together with specific scientific models and theories. Fundamental considerations assist in the recognition of the origin of properties and the roots of processes. By providing a higher level of understanding, such considerations form the basis for further improving the quality of both traditional and future engineering materials, as well as the efficiency of industrial operations. In a more general sense, theory helps to integrate facts into a framework

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Parkinson’s Disease and Nonmotor Dysfunction fills a major gap in the current rapidly growing body of knowledge concerning Parkinson’s disease. Drs. Pfeiffer and Bodis-Wollner have correctly perceived that many nonmotor features of Parkinson’s disease are given insufficient attention in the medical literature. Unfortunately, they are often also given insufficient attention by the practicing neurologists who see these patients. As recently pointed out, there is clearly much more to Parkinson’s disease than depletion of the nigrostriatal dopamine system

Among the topics addressed are the epidemiology of pediatric cancer distress, including physical, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions; the role of the interdisciplinary team; communic

Overview: The development of resistance to pesticides is generally acknowledged as one of the most serious obstacles to effective pest control today. Since house flies first developed resistance to DDT in 1946, more than 428 species of arthropods, at least 91 species of plant pathogens, five species of noxious weeds and two species of nematodes were reported to have developed strains resistant to on~ or more pesticides. A seminar of U. S. and Japanese scientists was held in Palm Springs, California, during December 3-7, 1979, under the U. S. -Japan Cooperative Science Program, in order to eval

Overview: Covers patterns for firmware and embedded software.Covers embedded software development without the hardware.Shows how to effectively use continuous integration and automated unit testing.Discover how to apply software engineering patterns to develop more robust firmware faster than traditional embedded development approaches. In the authors’ experience, traditional embedded software projects tend towards monolithic applications that are optimized for their target hardware platforms. This leads to software that is fragile in terms of extensibility and difficult to test without fully

Overview: The investigation of the physical properties of matter has progressed so much during the last hundred years that today physics is divided into a large group of special branches, which are often very distant from each other. These branches arise because of the vast extent of the science itself, and are distinguished by the particular area studied, the method of investigation and so on. An independent and important branch that has developed recently is the physics of thin films. This deals with systems which have only one common property, namely, that one of their dimensions is very sm

Overview: This edition has been enlarged by an additional chapter on most recent developments.Physics of New Materials. After the discoveries and applications of superconductors, new ceramics, amorphous and nano-materials, shape memory and other intelligent materials, physics became more and more important, comparable with chemistry, in the research and development of advanced materials. In this book, several important fields of physics-oriented new-materials research and physical means of analyses are selected and their fundamental principles and methods are described in a simple and understa

Overview: This book presents a theoretical framework based on the empirical context of the Israeli political system to evaluate under what conditions and in what ways can fundamental institutional changes occur in a democratic political system.978-1-349-38126-5978-0-230-10397-9

Overview: Prozess- und Qualitätsmanagement sind wichtige Bestandteile einer modernen Betriebsorganisation. Matthias Faerber untersucht, wie sich diese synergetisch ergänzen und in einem Informationssystem umgesetzt werden können. Durch Verallgemeinerung moderner Qualitätsmanagementstandards (ISO/ISO 15505 und CMMI) entwickelt er ein unabhängiges Anforderungsmodell. Darauf aufbauend entwirft er das Prozessmanagementsystem „ProcessNavigator“, das die flexible Ausführung von Prozessen und Projekten unter Berücksichtigung von Qualitätsmanagementstandards erlaubt.978-3-8349-2531-2978-3-8349-6073-3
