Overview: Konzeptentwicklung für ländliche Kommunen.Erfahrungen und Empfehlungen.Überblick zur sozialwissenschaftlichen DiskussionDas Konzept der Quartiersentwicklung entstand in einem großstädtischen Kontext. Mit der Annäherung der Lebenswelten von Menschen in städtischen und ländlichen Kommunen, wird diese sozialräumliche Strategie aber auch für kleinere Städte und Gemeinden interessant. Was bei der Übertragung von Quartiersentwicklungsansätzen auf die Besonderheiten des ländlichen Raumes zu bedenken ist und welche Chancen sowie Herausforderungen dies für die Gestaltung zukunftsfähiger Dorfg

Overview: Qualität in der WeiterbildungQualität und Qualitätsmanagement sind zu Leitbegriffen des Bildungsdiskurses geworden. An diese Debatte schließt die vorliegende empirische Studie an und fragt nach der Akzeptanz und den Wirkungen der Implementierung des Qualitätsmanagementmodells der Lernerorientierten Qualitätstestierung in das System der Weiterbildung. Als theoretischen Analyserahmen werden die Systemtheorie und der Neo-Institutionalismus herangezogen. Um die Komplexität des Implementationszusammenhangs abzubilden, werden alle relevanten, an diesem Zusammenhang beteiligten (Sub-)System

Overview: By North-American standards, philosophy is not new in Quebec: the first men­ tion of philosophy lectures given by a Jesuit in the College de Quebec (founded 1635) dates from 1665, and the oldest logic manuscript dates from 1679. In English-speaking universities such as McGill (founded 1829), philosophy began to be taught later, during the second half of the 19th century. The major influence on English-speaking philosophers was, at least initially, that of Scottish Empiricism. On the other hand, the strong influence of the Catholic Church on French-Canadian society meant that the staf

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-98614-7978-3-642-99429-6

Overview: primary goal of all forms of therapy is not just prolonging life, but improving the quality of life, has forced analysis of what constitutes quality of life, a concept whose structure pervades all walks of life and eludes definition. Global well being, happiness, morale, vitality, fullness of social life, and satisfaction must be integrated and assessed for the effects of the disease and the therapy, in the context of specific personality traits, attitudes to life, family situation, and socio-economic and political freedom. A growing inter­ est in research on this subject has led to

Overview: Develops a strategic context for quantum technologies.Discusses details about the nature of investments made by various states.Debates the quantum race.Explains important applications of quantum techn.This book is about the strategic relevance of quantum technologies. It debates the military-specific aspects of this technology. Various chapters of this book cohere around two specific themes. The first theme discusses the global pattern of ongoing civilian and military research on quantum computers, quantum cryptography, quantum communications and quantum internet. The second theme ex

Overview: The book from the interdisciplinary fields of queer theory, critical race theory, feminist political theory, disability studies, and indigenous studies to demonstrate that analyzing contemporary notions of citizenship requires understanding the machinations of governmentality and biopolitics in the (re)production of the proper citizen.978-1-137-48820-6

Overview: Introduces the reader to a novel cheminformatic workflow.Presents the genesis and model development.Includes practical examples and software tools.This brief offers an introduction to the fascinating new field of quantitative read-across structure-activity relationships (q-RASAR) as a cheminformatics modeling approach in the background of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) and read-across (RA) as data gap-filling methods. It discusses the genesis and model development of q-RASAR models demonstrating practical examples. It also showcases successful case studies on th

Overview: ..This book provides an overview of state-of-the-art implementations of quantum random number generators (QRNGs), and especially examines their relation to classical statistical randomness models and numerical techniques for computing random numbers. The reader – who ideally has a background in classical statistics, computer science, or cryptography – is introduced to the world of quantum bits step by step, and explicit relations between QRNGs and their classical counterparts are identified along the way. ..Random number generation is a major pillar of cryptography. Capitalizing on t

Overview: Declarative query interfaces to Sensor Networks (SN) have become a commodity. These interfaces allow access to SN deployed for collecting data using relational queries. However, SN are not confined to data collection, but may track object movement, e.g., wildlife observation or traffic monitoring. While rational approaches are well suited for data collection, research on Moving Object Databases (MOD) has shown that relational operators are unsuitable to express information needs on object movement, i.e., spatio-temporal queries..Querying Moving Objects Detected by Sensor Networks .st

Overview: Quantum Networks is focused on density matrix theory cast into a representation - SU(n) algebra - particularly adapted to describing networks of quasi-molecular subsystems. This approach is important for understanding how classical properties emerge within a quantum mechanical world and how non-classical features survive in a classical environment. Non-classical aspects such as single-particle and multi-particle coherence are introduced and discussed. A picture evolves of how these features are generated and destroyed by interactions with the environment. The outcome is a description
