Overview: I fancy that many of you, like myself, have woken up in the night with a "sleeping" arm or leg. It is a very peculiar feeling to have that arm or leg, cold and lifeless, hanging there at your side as if it were something which does not belong to you. In such situations you recover some of the motor functions before the sensory functions, which en­ ables you to move the limb like a pendulum. For a few sec­ onds the arm functions as an artificial limb - a prosthesis without sensors. In general we are not aware of the importance of our sensory organs until we lose them. You do not feel

Overview: This book is based on my doctoral dissertation written at Harvard University in the year of 1963. My interest in Peirce was inspired by Professor D. C. Williams and that in Lewis by Professor Roderick Firth. To both of them lowe a great deal, not only in my study of Peirce and Lewis, but in my general approach toward the problems of knowledge and reality. Specifically, I wish to acknowledge Professor Williams for his patient and careful criticisms of the original manuscripts of this book. I also wish to thank Professor Firth and Professor Israel Scheffler for their many suggestive co

Overview: Was passiert, wenn angehende Deutschlehrkräfte über Beobachtungen im Unterricht sprechen? Kann die reale Fallarbeit die Erwartungen an die Methode der Kasuistik und des Forschenden Lernens erfüllen? Björn Stövesand untersucht solche Gespräche aus der Perspektive der ethnomethodologischen Gesprächsforschung, Wissenssoziologie und Interaktionslinguistik. Mit dem Konzept der "Professional Vision" nach Charles Goodwin fasst er die Analysegespräche als Ort der diskursiven Aushandlung der Sichtweisen und Deutungsmuster auf die Beobachtungsprotokolle. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, wie der Umgang

Overview: Advances in bioscience research usually arise as a result of the continu­ ing refinement of existing technologies. However, there are a number of occa­ sions v^rhere newly developed methodologies have a profound effect on nearly all areas of research. Frequently these are techniques that are elegantly simple in concept and require minimal technical manipulation. Two of these revolu­ tionary techniques are the focus ofPCR Sequencing Protocols. The first such technique is enzymatic chain termination sequencing developed by Sanger and his co-workers in Cambridge and reported in 1977. Th

Overview: PR und KM aus medienwissenschaftlicher PerspektiveDie vorliegende Studie will eine aktuelle Theorie der Öffentlichkeitsarbeit bzw. Public Relations vorlegen. Denn seit den 90er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts hat sich im Zuge eines sich ausdifferenzierenden Mediensystems mit dualem Rundfunk, konstant steigendem Öffentlichkeitsdruck und einem extrem angewachsenen Verantwortungs- und Ausdehnungsbereich der Massenmedien in der Gesellschaft ein Wandel der PR vollzogen, der in der deutschsprachigen PR-Theorie bislang nicht ausreichend reflektiert wird. In der Arbeit wird ein alternativer theo

Overview: Authored by leading experts in public sector marketing in Africa.Explores the ethical issues in public sector PR.Reveals how brand communication can enhance the image and reputation of a public sector.African nations are seeking ways to build strong institutions that are development-oriented and people-centred.

In response, this book — the first of a two-volume edited work — focuses on marketing communication themes related to branding, public relations, trade fairs and

Overview: This book has developed from a short residential course organised by the Department of Minerals Engineering and the Department of Extra Mural Studies of the University of Birmingham. The course was concerned mainly with physical methods of analysis of minerals and mineral products, and particular regard was given to ‘non-destructive‘ methods, with special emphasis on newly available techniques but with a review of older methods and their recent developments included therein. Mineral analysis is obviously of great importance in all the stages of mineral exploration, processing, and ut

Overview: Prostaglandins were discovered in the early 1930s following research into their extremely potent biological effects. During the last decade especially two com­ pounds sharing the same receptor on the platelet surface, the antiaggregatory prostaglandins PGE and PGI , attracted considerable interest in cardiovascular 1 2 medicine. Since 1973 PGE has been widely used in the therapy of peripheral vascular 1 disease. Although its effects on platelet function, smooth muscle cells, vascular wall cell lipid metabolism, red cell deformability and plasmatic coagulation are well known, these fa
