Overview: This is both a first and a second level course in Pascal. It starts at an elementary level and works up to a point where problems of realistic complexity can be tackled. It is aimed at two audiences: on the one hand the computer professional who has a good knowledge of Cobol or Fortran but needs convincing that Pascal is worth learning, and on the other hand the amateur computer enthusiast who may have a smattering of Basic or may be an absolute beginner. Its approach is based on two principles that are not always widely recognized. The first is that computing is no longer a speciali

Overview: Dieses Buch geht auf ein Problem ein, das in der Bevölkerung zwar relativ weit verbreitet ist, aber auch heute noch als Tabuthema gilt: die Harninkontinenz. Angesprochen werden chronisch Inkontinente ebenso wie akut betroffene Patienten, deren Beschwerden durch verschiedene Therapiemaßnahmen gebessert werden können. Das Ratgeberbuch bietet fundierte Aufklärung über die medizinischen Ursachen dieses Leidens und über die verfügbaren Untersuchungsmethoden und Therapiemöglichkeiten; darüber hinaus enthält es viele praktische Ratschläge zum Umgang mit der Harninkontinenz und Tips zu Frage

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Researchers in Artificial Intelligence have traditionally been classified into two categories: the “neaties” and the “scruffies”. According to the scruffies, the neaties concentrate on building elegant formal frameworks, whose properties are beautifully expressed by means of definitions, lemmas, and theorems, but which are of little or no use when tackling real-world problems. The scruffies are described (by the neaties) as those researchers who build superficially impressive systems that may perform extremely well on one particular case study, but wh

Overview: A comprehensive review.Written by experts.An invaluable source of information for scientists, engineers, graduate students in the fields of environmental sciences, risk assessment and risk controlling.Due to their unparalleled effectiveness and efficiency, polyfluorinated chemicals (PFC.) .have become essential in numerous technical applications. However, many PFCs brought to market show limited biodegradability, and their environmental persistence combined with toxic and bioaccumulative potential have become a matter of concern in some instances. This volume highlights the synthesis

Overview: First collection of articles to center around the work of Simon Critchley.Opens up a productive rather than a reductive interaction between politics and religion, appealing to readers who want to hear.The liberal enlightenment as well as the more radical left have both traditionally opposed religion as a reactionary force in politics, a view culminating in an identification of the politics of religion as fundamentalist theocracy. But recently a number of thinkers—Agamben, Badiou, Tabues and in particular Simon Critchley—have begun to explore a more productive engagement of the religi

Overview: This preface is being written at a time of exceptional public interest in the North Sea, following media head­ lines on toxic algal blooms, the mass mortality of common seals, and concern over pollution levels. These headlines may suggest that pollution of the North Sea is a recent event. This is not the case. Although no data are available (methods simply did not exist), it is safe to assume that emission (both into air and water) of heavy metals already started to increase in the 19th cen­ tury. The growth of cities and introduction of sewer sys­ tems led to the discharge of raw se

Overview: GPU enabled method for trajectory optimization.Steffen Heinrich describes a motion planning system for automated vehicles. The planning method is universally applicable to on-road scenarios and does not depend on a high-level maneuver selection automation for driving strategy guidance. The author presents a planning framework using graphics processing units (GPUs) for task parallelization. A method is introduced that solely uses a small set of rules and heuristics to generate driving strategies. It was possible to show that GPUs serve as an excellent enabler for real-time application
