Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Space is increasingly recognized as a legitimate factor that influences many processes and conceptual frameworks, including notions of spatial coherence and spatial heterogeneity that have been demonstrated to provide substance to both theory and explanation. The potential and relevance of spatial analysis is increasingly understood by an expanding sphere of cogent disciplines that have adopted the tools of spatial analysis. This book brings together major new developments in spatial analysis techniques, including spatial statistics, econometrics, an

Overview: The fourth volume of Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science consists mainly of papers which were contributed to our Colloquium during the past few years. The volume represents a wide range of interests in contem­ porary philosophy of science: issues in the philosophy of mind and of language, the neurophysiology of perceptual and linguistic behavior, philosophy of history and of the social sciences, and studies in the fun­ damental categories and methods of philosophy and the inter-relation­ ships of the sciences with ethics and metaphysics. Papers on the logic and methods of the

Overview: Presents the third phase of the unfolded and disseminated flux of phenomenology and existentialism which did transform our culture.Its powerful inspirations are spent, without answering the crucial quThe discussion on the phenomenology of life will continue to be crucial to the general outlook and direction of phenomenological investigations. The imp- tance of it is not only the fact that it is an innovation in the philosophical circle, but it is also an effort that contributes to the re-reading of the hitherto ex- gerated differences between phenomenology and metaphysics. What is ne

Overview: Ever since the seminal works on traveling waves and morphogenesis by Fisher, by Kolmogorov, Petrovski and Piscunov, and by Turing, scientists from many disciplines have been fascinated by questions concerning the formation of steady or dynamic patterns in reactive media. Contributions to this volume have been made by chemists, chemical engineers, mathematicians (both pure and applied), and physicists. The topics covered range from reports of experimental studies, through descriptions of numerical experiments, to rather abstract theoretical investigations, each exhibiting different as

Overview: Presents a modern micro- and institution-oriented approach to teaching economics.Numerous examples and case studies help readers apply the theories discussed to real-world problems.Pursues an integrat.This text provides a comprehensive and unique introduction to modern microeconomics. It pursues an integrative approach by putting the main findings of economics into a broader perspective; theories are critically reflected on from a philosophical standpoint and by comparing them to approaches found in the social sciences, while implications for the design of the legal system and busine

Overview: Welcome to the proceedings of ISPA 2005 which was held in the city of Nanjing. Parallel computing has become a mainstream research area in computer science and the ISPA conference has become one of the premier forums for the presentation of new and exciting research on all aspects of parallel computing. We are pleased to present the proceedings for the 3rd International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing and Applications (ISPA 2005), which comprises a collection of excellent technical papers, and keynote speeches. The papers accepted cover a wide range of exciting topic

Overview: It is common to hear that we live in unique, turbulent and crisis-ridden times and this turbulence, transformation and crisis are said to be deeply significant - perhaps threatening - for the human sciences. Responding to such claims, this book provides an accessible engagement with pressing contemporary topics, such as violence, social movements, equality, identity and democracy. Foregrounding the imagination of possibilities (utopia), the mapping of the present (theory), and the transformation of the world-system (historical and global questions), the book surveys central issues an

Readers will discover descriptions of new data collected by the editors over a period of over three decades on marine faunal assemblages and sedimentology available for palaeoenv

Overview: Bei der Entwicklung und Konstruktion von Produkten, die einen hohen Innovationsgrad sowie ein hohes Technologie- und Qualitätsniveau aufweisen, sollte frühzeitig auf eine wettbewerbsfähige und kundengerechte Kosten-Nutzen-Relation geachtet werden. Vor allem darin besteht der Vorteil, den erfolgreiche Unternehmen gegenüber weniger erfolgreichen haben. Markus Binder zeigt dies anhand einer Befragung von über hundert Unternehmen der Branchen Maschinenbau und Elektro/Elektronik. Der Autor demonstriert die aktuelle Situation in der Praxis und leitet Gestaltungsempfehlungen für ein Produkt

Overview: In their second year in medical school, students begin to learn about the differences between "disease" and "illness." In their studies of pathology they learn to understand disease as pertubations of molecular biological events. And we clinicians can show disease to them by our scans, lay it out even on our genetic scrolls, and sometimes even point out the errant nucleotide. Disease satisfies them and us; at Yale, lectures on the gastrointestinal tract run from achalasia to proctitis. There is, alas, little mention of functional bowel disease or of the irritable or spastic colon, fo

Overview: Positioning systems measure the location of one or moreobjects. As well, most imaging systems inherently perform apositioning function. Positioning systems can be appliedin various forms of transport such as general andspaceaviation or automobiles, but also in geodetic surveying.The aimof this monograph is to establish a general methodfor the mathematical analysis of positioning systems and todemonstrate the utility of thischaracterization. The basicapproach uses information theory, differentialgeometry,rate distortion theory and chaos, as well as integratingthemore conventional meth

Overview: Almost fifteen years have now elapsed since the first observations of per­ sistent spectral hole-burning in inhomogeneously broadened absorption lines in solids. The fact that the spectral shape of an inhomogeneously broadened line can be locally modified for long periods of time has led to a large number of investigations of low-temperature photophysics and photochemistry that would not have been possible otherwise. Using hole­ burning, important information has been obtained about a variety of in­ teractions, including excited-state dephasing processes, host-guest dynam­ ics, proto

Overview: Die Erkennung und Behandlung von Erkrankungen im Bereich der ableitenden Harnwege und der Prostata haben durch neuere Untersuchungsergebnisse auf dem Gebiet der Bakteriologie, der Immunologie und der Pathologie erhebliche Fortschritte erbracht und zu exakten Gliederungen der Krankheitsbilder und der Pathogenese geführt. Nicht am "großen" Operationspräparat, sondern vor allem an transurethral gewonnenem Resektionsgewebe und Stanzbiopsien wird die tägliche Routinediagnostik durchgeführt. Eine weitere Herausforderung ist die urologische Zytologie. Vor allem die Prostataaspirationszytolo

Overview: Die verborgene Seite des RegierensBeruhend auf der Funktionslogik des parlamentarischen Regierungssystems fällt der Bundestagsmehrheit bei der parlamentarischen Mitsteuerung und Beeinflussung des Regierungshandelns die zentrale Rolle zu. Sie tut dies in erster Linie durch ein komplexes informales Instrumentarium sowie mittels informaler Prozessabläufe. Dadurch werden Defizite des Regierungshandelns zum Teil kompensiert. Die zentrale Fragestellung der Studie besteht darin, diese informalen Mitsteuerungsprozesse und -strukturen in ihrem Ausmaß, ihrer Qualität, ihrem Entstehungszusammen
