Overview: The Second International Congress on Photosynthesis Research took place in Stresa, Italy during June 24-29, 1971; two centuries after the discovery of Photosynthesis by Joseph Priestley in 1971. This important anniversary was celebrated at the Congress by a learned account of Priestley‘s life and fundamental discoveries given by Professor Robin HILL, F. R. S. Professor HILL‘s lecture opens the first of the three volumes which contains the contributions presented at the Congress. The manuscripts have been distributed into three volumes. Volume I con­ tains contributions in the areas o

Overview: The classical, phenomenological theory of plastically anisotropic materials has passed a long way: from the work of von Mises presented in 1928, and the HilI formulation given in 1948, to the latest papers on large elastic-plastic deformations of anisotropic metal sheets. A characteristic feature of this approach is a linear flow rule and a quadratic yield criterion. Mathematical simplicity of the theory is a reason of its numerous applications to the analysis of engineering structures during the onset of plastic deformations. However, such an approach is not sufficient for descripti

Overview: We three editors of this volume are former Ph. D. students of Professor Mircea Cohn at the University of Waterloo, Canada. Donald Grierson obtained his Ph. D. degree in 1968, Alberto Franchi in 1977, and Paolo Riva in 1988, and as such, we span almost the entire career of Professor Cohn at Waterloo. Even though we graduated during different decades in his life, we share similar views of Mircea Cohn as an educator, researcher and man. Together we recall that he was very firm in his resolve that we get the most out of the education he was facilitating for us. Together we agree that he

Overview: Eine empirische Studie der MathematikdidaktikNina Sturm analysiert, inwiefern Drittklässler beim Lösen problemhaltiger Textaufgaben von externen Repräsentationen profitieren können. Die Autorin untersucht, ob eine mehrwöchige Intervention, bei der die Generierung und Nutzung externer Repräsentationen als kognitive Werkzeuge sowie als Reflexionsgrundlage gefördert wurde, eine Kompetenzsteigerung der Grundschulkinder beim Lösen problemhaltiger Textaufgaben bewirkt. Externen Repräsentationen wird in der Fachdidaktik und in der Psychologie eine lösungsunterstützende Funktion zugesprochen

Overview: Bruce E. Tabashnik and Richard T. Roush Pesticide resistance is an increasingly urgent worldwide problem. Resistance to one or more pesticides has been documented in more than 440 species of insects and mites. Resistance in vectors of human dise8se, particularly malaria-transmit­ ting mosquitoes, is a serious threat to public health in many nations. Agricultural productivity is jeopardized because of widespread resistance in crop and livestock pests. Serious resistance problems are also evident in pests of the urban environ­ ment, most notably cockroaches. Better understanding of pes

Overview: A study of post-war US policy towards countries which are politically unstable or in a pre-revolutionary situation. Orme argues that the "middle options" have played a prominent role in US policy and, flawed though they are, some of them will remain the best alternative in the future.978-1-349-10398-0978-1-349-10396-6

Overview: Engages in an interdisciplinary discussion between theology and (primarily but not exclusively) criminology.Provides an anthropological framework for exploring human nature.offers an understanding of This book explores and formulates a response to the question: How best can those held in modern systems of mass incarceration be cared for pastorally when many prisons diminish both hope and humanity? Employing the multi-disciplinary approach of practical theology, this ethnographic enquiry will be a guide for chaplains and all who strive to embody compassion wherever human flourishing i

Overview: Sample data alone never suffice to draw conclusions about populations. Inference always requires assumptions about the population and sampling process. Statistical theory has revealed much about how strength of assumptions affects the precision of point estimates, but has had much less to say about how it affects the identification of population parameters. Indeed, it has been commonplace to think of identification as a binary event – a parameter is either identified or not – and to view point identification as a precondition for inference. Yet there is enormous scope for fruitful in

The papers combine interdisciplinary approaches to bring to

Overview: Positivism needs further scrutiny. In recent years, there has been little consensus about the nature of positivism or about the precise forms its influence has taken on psychological theory. One symptom of this lack of clarity has been that ostensibly anti-positivist psychological theorizing is frequently found reproducing one or more distinctively positivist assumptions. The contributors to this volume believe that, while virtually every theoretically engaged psychologist today openly rejects positivism in both its 19th century and 20th century forms, it is indispensable to look at
