Overview: The book explains the complex plant hormone signalling network with more than 100 flow charts and drawings elucidating the role of various hormone signals in plant innate immune signal transduction.ThPlants are endowed with innate immune system, which acts as a surveillance system against possible attack by pathogens. Plant innate immune systems have high potential to fight against viral, bacterial, oomycete and fungal pathogens and protect the crop plants against wide range of diseases. However, the innate immune system is a sleeping system in unstressed healthy plants. Fast and str

Overview: Provides novel insights into cognitive mechanisms underlying the processing of sound and music.Presents fundamentals of hearing psychophysiology and principles of music perception.This monograph provides novel insights into cognitive mechanisms underlying the processing of sound and music in different environments. A solid understanding of these mechanisms is vital for numerous technological applications such as for example information retrieval from distributed musical databases or building expert systems.

Overview: On behalf of the Organizing Committee for Pervasive 2008, welcome to the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Pervasive Computing. The year2008wasthesecondtimeinasmanyyearsthatthePervasiveconferencehas attempted to “globalize”: For the second year in a row the conference was held outside of Europe. The conference is seen as one of the most respected venues for publishing researchon pervasive and ubiquitous computing and captures the state of the art in pervasive computing research. In 2008, as in previous years, the proceedings present solutions for challenging research

Overview: Over the past few years, the demand for high speed Digital Signal Proces­ sing (DSP) has increased dramatically. New applications in real-time image processing, satellite communications, radar signal processing, pattern recogni­ tion, and real-time signal detection and estimation require major improvements at several levels; algorithmic, architectural, and implementation. These perfor­ mance requirements can be achieved by employing parallel processing at all levels. Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology supports and provides a good avenue for parallelism. Parallelism offers

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Der Ruf nach einer „Politik aus einem Guss“ ist nicht neu; jüngst wird er aber im Zusammenhang mit Nachhaltigkeit besonders laut. So erfordere eine effektive Bearbeitung komplexer Nachhaltigkeitsprobleme die Integration sektoraler Policies zu einer umfassend-kohärenten Nachhaltigkeitspolitik. Aber was genau ist unter Policy-Integration im Kontext von Nachhaltigkeit zu verstehen? Basil Bornemann nimmt eine systematische Klärung des Verhältnisses von Policy-Integration und Nachhaltigkeit in konzeptioneller und empirischer Hinsicht vor. Ausgehend von ei

Overview: Points at differences of online and print literature relating to freedom of speech, writer-readership interaction, literary quality, language and style, critical reception, and circulation in the Midd.During the 2000‘s, online literature in Arabic language was popular among a larger readership.

While mapping the genre, this monograph shows literary developments in print and digital during these peak years to provide a historical context for the material. Online literary culture is

Overview: Covers ?a variety of geographically diverse English-language productions and performances originating in the US, Ireland, and Canada.Represents a range of interdisciplinary topics and methodologies.DeThis anthology explores how theatre and performance use home as the prism through which we reconcile shifts in national, cultural, and personal identity. Whether examining parlor dramas and kitchen sink realism, site-specific theatre, travelling tent shows, domestic labor, border performances, fences, or front yards, these essays demonstrate how dreams of home are enmeshed with notions o

Overview: Written by experts, Gives a modern approach, Comprehensive in ScopeThe focus of this book is on building on current liberal understandings of democratic education as espoused in the ideas of SeylaBenhabib, Eamonnn Callan, Martha Nussbaum, Iris Marion Young and Amy Gutmann, and then examines its implications for pedagogical encounters, more specifically teaching and learning. In other words, pedagogical encounters premised on the idea of iterations (talking back) and reasonable and compassionate action are not enough to engender forms of human engagement that can open up new possibili

Overview: Represents a significant contribution to current migration debates.Carves a new path in the debate on North-South migration.Sheds light on postcolonial power relations in AngolaGrounded in extensive and original ethnographic fieldwork, this book makes a novel contribution to migration studies by examining a European labour migration to the Global South, namely contemporary Portuguese migration to Angola in a postcolonial context. In doing so, it explores everyday encounters at work between the Portuguese migrants and their Angolan “hosts”, and it analyses how the Luso-African postcol

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Polymers belong to an essential material group with many applications not only for polymer manufacturers but also in physics, chemistry, medicine and engineering techniques. The presented volume is the first part of a book series connecting a complete data collection with short but precise descriptions of the different quantities and their significances. The experimental determination of the physical quantities is given as well as the influence to other physical quantities. This volume helps to choose the best material for all kinds of applications a

Overview: THE idea of collecting these essays occurred to me when, in the leisure of retire­ ment, I scanned some of my own books and found that two of the more widely read show a startling change of attitude to some of the fundamental concepts of science. These are Einstein‘s Theory of Relativity of 1921 and the American edition of The Restless Universe of 1951. I have taken the introduction of as the former the first item of this collection, the postscript to the latter as its last. These books agree in the relativistic concept of space and time, but differ in many other funda­ mental notion

Overview: A unique focus on rural demography and the interaction between population dynamics and local social and economic change..All chapters report original research by acknowledged experts in rural social sCALVIN L. BEALE In considering how to introduce the subject of rural population change in st the 21 Century, I ?nd myself re?ecting on my own experience as a demographer for the U. S. Department of Agriculture. When I arrived at the Department, the post-World War II modernization of farming was well under way. Each year, my colleague Gladys Bowles and I had the unpopular task of announci

Overview: This volume grew out of a dissatisfaction with some issues that seem to be rooted in the Empiricist tradition. At least since Locke, that which is perceived has enjoyed a major share in any systematic account of what we claim to know. A main purpose of this study therefore is first to distinguish, and subsequently to relate, what can be perceived and what can be under­ stood. To this end, the account of persons and personal identity begins with a description of selected types of sense perceptions. While writing a good part of the discussion on vision, I had the advantage of questioni

Overview: Shows how changes in historiography have made us more alert to the insights of views unfashionable in the postwar era.Looks at the works of Eddy de Wind, Louis Micheels, and Elie A. Cohen, and account.​In the postwar years, Dutch survivors Eddy de Wind, Louis Micheels, and Elie A. Cohen, who went on to become practicing psychoanalysts, penned accounts of their survival of the Nazi camps. Their sober assessments contrast sharply with those by Bruno Bettelheim and Viktor Frankl, which emphasized decisiveness, ‘positive thinking‘, and resistance, missing the fact that many Holocaust vic
