Overview: The controversial question of whether the majority of the narrow absorption lines observed in QSO spectra represent cosmological intervening systems or ejecta from the QSO themselves is settled. QSO absorption line spectroscopy, initially a mere technique, has matured into an essential extragalactic research tool for understanding the content of the Universe at redshifts between 0 and 4, and beyond. The only previous important meeting devoted to "QSO Absorption Lines" was held in May 1987 at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A. Since that time, nearly

It has taken Bangladesh as the case study. It argues for rethinking of traditional policies and provides arguments and ways to reorient these toward inclusive growth and better social i

Overview: Up-to-date book on the topic.Contains extended ready-to-use course materials on CD-ROM for training, teaching and self-teaching.Includes supplementary material: The application of Quality Assurance (QA) techniques has led to major improvements in the quality of many products and services. Fortunately these techniques have been well documented in the form of guides and standards and nowhere more so than in the area of measurement and testing, particularly chemical analysis. Training of analysts and potential analysts in quality assurance techniques is a major task for universities and

Overview: Written by experts, Gives a modern approach, Comprehensive in ScopeQuality and Qualities: Tensions in Education Reforms is a provocative call for understanding and further exploring the elusive concept of quality in education. Although education quality has acquired high priority in the past few decades, the multiplicity of conceptualizations of quality also reflects the concerns and foci of multiple stakeholders.Coming to an understanding of quality education involves careful analysis of the context from which any particular reform or program emerges and of the continuing struggle t

Overview: Describes new investment decision-making methods based on hesitant fuzzy sets.Shows how to apply them to the analysis of qualitative data and fuzzy information.Illustrative examples are used to foster.This book describes five qualitative investment decision-making methods based on the hesitant fuzzy information. They are: (1) the investment decision-making method based on the asymmetric hesitant fuzzy sigmoid preference relations, (2) the investment decision-making method based on the hesitant fuzzy trade-off and portfolio selection, (3) the investment decision-making method based on

Overview: Bei Hochschulevaluierungsprojekten blieben Musikhochschulen bisher fast immer außen vor, weil das notwendige Instrumentarium fehlte, um ihre Besonderheiten angemessen abzubilden. Zur internen Qualitätsverbesserung und zur externen Finanzmittelgewinnung sind Musikhochschulen jedoch inzwischen darauf angewiesen, sich objektiv und zielgerichtet bewerten zu können. ..Auf der Grundlage etablierter Forschungsansätze entwickelt Matthias Koch einen musikhochschulspezifischen Evaluierungsansatz und wendet ihn am Beispiel einer großen deutschen Musikhochschule an. Bei der Entwicklung von Metho

Overview: Includes cutting-edge techniques for the study of quorum sensing.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key implementation advice from the experts.This detailed volume provides scientists interested in quorum sensing with a broad spectrum of methods and protocols useful for studying bacterial communication processes at the chemico-physical, molecular, and physiological level. Divided into three sections, the content covers detection and quantification of quorum sensing signal molecules, methods for the studying of quorum sensing at the molecular, phy

Overview: Up-to-date overviewThe book provides a review of the hadronic final state measurements at HERA in deep inelastic scattering. It covers general event properties, particle spectra, heavy flavours, jets, event shape measurements, QCD instantons and small-x physics. The emphasis is on experimental results, providing quick access to the data (complete up to fall 1997) for reference. The results are discussed in the context of QCD.978-3-662-14733-7978-3-540-49641-0Series ISSN 0081-3869 Series E-ISSN 1615-0430

Overview: Aktuelle sozialwissenschaftliche Beiträge.Includes supplementary material: .Die Beitragsautoren dieses Bandes thematisieren das Quartier in seiner zunehmend wichtigen Funktion für die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung. Sie gehen der Frage nach, wie die Verbindung zwischen Quartiersentwicklung und Gesundheitsförderung konzeptualisiert werden kann, denn eine systematische Betrachtung dieses Verhältnisses ist bislang selten erfolgt. Dabei spielt der sowohl aus der Politik als auch der Praxis und den Gesundheitswissenschaften favorisierte Setting-Ansatz eine tragende Rolle. Das Buch liefert Per

Overview: edited overview about quantitative information fusion in hydrology.Includes supplementary material: .In a rapidly evolving world of knowledge and technology, do you ever wonder how hydrology is catching up? This book takes the angle of computational hydrology and envisions one of the future directions, namely, quantitative integration of high-quality hydrologic field data with geologic, hydrologic, chemical, atmospheric, and biological information to characterize and predict natural systems in hydrological sciences...Intelligent computation and information fusion are the key words.

Overview: .From the Editors Preface:. ".Quark Matter 1987. was attended by about 250 scientists, representing 75 research institutions around the world - the scientific community engaged in experimental and theoretical studies of high energy nuclear collisions. The central theme of the meeting was the possibility of achieving extreme energy densities in extended systems of strongly interacting matter - with the ultimate aim of creating in the laboratory a deconfined state of matter, a state in which quarks and gluons attain the active degrees of freedom. High energy accelerator beams and cosmi

Overview: First textbook on representation theory which uses the quiver representations approach.Much shorter than other texts on the subject and is meant as a textbook for a one semester course.Explicit constrThis book is intended to serve as a textbook for a course in Representation Theory of Algebras at the beginning graduate level. The text has two parts. In Part I, the theory is studied in an elementary way using quivers and their representations. This is a very hands-on approach and requires only basic knowledge of linear algebra. The main tool for describing the representation theory of

Overview: Advanced technologies in astronomy at various wavelengths have provided us with high resolution and high quality data on the QSO population. This meeting was aimed at understanding the morphology and nature of the host galaxies and environments of QSOs. The invited lectures as well as the contributed and poster papers highlighted the main issues of current research: the stellar and gaseous content of the underlying galaxy; the characterization of the population of companions and the nature of their interaction with the host galaxy; the connection between radio-loud QSO and radio-gala

Overview: Due to measurement errors, transmission lost, or injected noise for privacy protection, uncertainty exists in the data of many real applications. However, query processing techniques for deterministic data cannot be directly applied to uncertain data because they do not have mechanisms to handle data uncertainty. Therefore, efficient and effective manipulation of uncertain data is a practical yet challenging research topic. In this book, we start from the data models for imprecise and uncertain data, move on to defining different semantics for queries on uncertain data, and finally d
