Overview: The study of the normal function of the animal and human organisms and of the diseases which disturb that normal func­ tion is largely the study of control mechanisms. These control mechanisms are essential for the survival of an organism in a more or less hostile environment. In many ways they clearly resemble the control mechanisms devised by electronic engin­ eers for running machinery of all kinds and there are many remarkable parallels between biology and engineering. However, it should not be forgotten that the biological systems were on the scene first and that the engineering

Overview: Examining the role of communication interception technology (CIT) in the investigation of transnational organised crime, the authors demonstrate that a proactive intelligence-led policing framework and a re-evaluation of the constraints of CIT are required to combat the international issue of corruption.978-1-137-33379-7Series ISSN 2946-3513 Series E-ISSN 2946-3521

Overview: . . ) (under the assumption that the spectral density exists). For this reason, a vast amount of periodical and monographic literature is devoted to the nonparametric statistical problem of estimating the function tJ( T) and especially that of leA) (see, for example, the books [4,21,22,26,56,77,137,139,140,]). However, the empirical value t;; of the spectral density I obtained by applying a certain statistical procedure to the observed values of the variables Xl‘ . . . , X , usually depends in n a complicated manner on the cyclic frequency). . This fact often presents difficulties in

Overview: The increasing number of computer networks has aroused users‘ interest in many and various fields of applications, in how a computer network can be built, and in how it may be used. The fundamental rules of computer networks are the protocols. "A protocol is a set of rules that governs the operation of functional units to achieve communication" [STA-86}. The book follows a practical approach to protocol speci­ fication and testing, but at the same time it introduces clearly and precisely the relevant theoretical fundamentals. The principal objectives of this work are: to familiarize

Overview: Reports on cutting-edge turbulence-resolving methods of industrial relevance.Gives a special emphasis to hybrid RANS-LES methods.Covers multidisciplinary applications of computational fluid dynamics.This book gathers the proceedings of the Seventh Symposium on Hybrid RANS-LES Methods, which was held on September 17-19 in Berlin, Germany. The different chapters, written by leading experts, reports on the most recent developments in flow physics modelling, and gives a special emphasis to industrially relevant applications of hybrid RANS-LES methods and other turbulence-resolving modell

Overview: .Psycho-Logic. is an attempt to formulate explicitly the implicit common-sense psychology embedded in everyday language and taken for granted by its users. The key concepts in this system are given definitions, and the basic assumptions are presented in the form of axioms. A number of corollaries and theorems are formally proved. The text also contains numerous notes in which the formal propositions and their broader implications are discussed. It is assumed that the relationship between psycho-logic and empirical psychology is analogous to that existing between geometry and geograph

Overview: All competition is outdated.No review exists devoted solely to the catalytic properties of clay.The founds of investigation into pillard clays and their uses as catalysts edit this book.Includes supplSince the first works introducing the aluminum intercalated clay family in the early 1970s, interest in the synthesis of pillared interlayered clays has increased tremendously, especially research into the properties and applications of new synthesis methods. The need for solids that could be used as cracking catalysts with larger pores than zeolitic materials has spurred the synthesis o

Overview: One morning in 1969, out of the blue, I received a letter which both distressed and astonished me. It was from a Prof. S. R. Das in Calcutta, who requested me to accept, for eventual analysis, a mountain of anthropometric data he had accumulated, as he was ill and did not expect to survive to analyse it himself. The data provided the astonishment; twenty-two anthropometric characters recorded every six months or a year, over a period of 14 years, in a mixed longitudinal study of some 560 children, aged six months to twenty years. Most were in families with siblings also in the study,

Overview: Der Klassiker: anwendungsorientiert und mit vielen Aufgaben von der Mechanik bis zur NanophysikAls wir 1970 die erste Auflage dieses Physikbuches vorlegten, geschah es in der Überzeu­ gung, dass die Physik als Grundlagenfach für den Ingenieur in der Ausbildung und in der Praxis ständig an Bedeutung gewinnt. Das gilt sicher heute mehr denn je. Besonders die immer wichtiger werdende sog. "Hochtechnologie" basiert unmittelbar auf gründlicher Beherrschung der Physik. Die Physik hat für das technische Studium im Wesentlichen zwei Aufgaben zu erfüllen: Einerseits sollen Kenntnisse über phy

Overview: Presents the first history from the dandy’s emergence up to the present.Follows the dandy throughout journalism, literature, visual art, philosophy, and political theory.Offers a multi-regional approaThis book traces a genealogy of political dandyism in literature. Dandies abstain from worldly affairs, and politics in particular. As an enigmatic figure, or a being of great eccentricity, it was the dandy that haunted the literary and cultural imagination of the nineteenth century. In fact, the dandy is often seen as a quintessential nineteenth-century figure. It was surprising, then,
