Overview: Covers almost all major topics in the theory of Random Walk.More than 100 pages of examples and problems illustrate and clarify the presentationIn this edition a large number of errors have been corrected, an occasional proof has been streamlined, and a number of references are made to recent pro­ gress. These references are to a supplementary bibliography, whose items are referred to as [S1] through [S26]. A thorough revision was not attempted. The development of the subject in the last decade would have required a treatment in a much more general con­ text. It is true that a number

Overview: Makes a variety of powerful data analytic tools easily available to practitioners.Includes supplementary material: The introduction of permutation tests by R. A. Fisher relaxed the paramet­ ric structure requirement of a test statistic. For example, the structure of the test statistic is no longer required if the assumption of normality is removed. The between-object distance function of classical test statis­ tics based on the assumption of normality is squared Euclidean distance. Because squared Euclidean distance is not a metric (i. e. , the triangle in­ equality is not satisfied)

Overview: Regulations on human subjects research have evolved over a 20-year period and now provide a formal set of requirements for the conduct of federally sponsored studies. Over time, government regulations, like taboos in primitive societies, develop a life of their own, seemingly dissociated from their origins and justifica­ tions. When the investigator suffers the burdens of trying to comply with com­ plex rules, it is easy for him or her to lapse into a frustration that can be eased by being informed or reminded of why the rules were created in the first place and what they were design

Overview: This is principally a textbook for undergraduate pharmacy students taking them from basic physical chemistry to the design and use of pharmaceutical drug forms. The text gives the physicochemical background to the action of drugs from the site of dosage to the site of action. It is therefore of interest to pharmacologists, researchers in pharmacokinetics, pharmacists and pharmaceutical physicians. The first edition was published in 1981. This is an updating and revision of the earlier work.

Overview: This and its companion Volume 2 chronicle the proceedings of the First Technical Conference on Polyimides: Synthesis, Char­ acterization and Applications held under the auspices of the Mid­ Hudson Section of the Society of Plastics Engineers at Ellenville, New York, November 10-12, 1982. In the last decade or so there has been an accelerated interest in the use of polyimides for a variety of applications in a number of widely differing technologies. The applications of polyimides range from aerospace to microelectronics to medical field, and this is attributed to the fact that polyim

Overview: Written by experts, Gives a modern approach, Comprehensive in Scope.Psychology’s contribution to education has produced a persuasive and burgeoning literature willing to measure (e.g. intelligence quotients), categorise (e.g. learning and/or behavioural diffi culties) and pathologise (e.g. psychiatric disorders) students across learning contexts. Practices like these pervade relationships existing between psychology and education because they share in common certain views of people and the worlds in which they learn. There is however increased acknowledgement that contemporary practi

Overview: .Im Frühjahr 2023 gingen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland die letzten Kernkraftwerke vom Netz. Es war das politisch beschlossene Ende einer Technologie, die vor rund 50 Jahren noch als unumstrittene Zukunftshoffnung zur Sicherung von Wachstum und Wohlstand gegolten hatte und dann als Gegenstand der Kernenergiekontroverse eine ganze Generation begleitet und teilweise sogar nachhaltig geprägt hatte. Christian von Falkenhausen unternimmt in diesem Buch den Versuch, anhand einer Multiple Streams Analyse der politischen Prozesse der Jahre 1975 bis 1997 zu zeigen, dass die Grundlagen für
