Overview: Reflectance spectroscopy is the investigation of the spectral composi­ tion of surface-reflected radiation with respect to its angularly dependent intensity and the composition of the incident primary radiation. Two limiting cases are important: The first concerns regular (specular) reflection from a smooth surface, and the second diffuse reflection from an ideal matte surface. All possible variations are found in practice between these two extremes. For the two extreme cases, two fundamentally different methods of reflectance spectroscopy are employed: The first of these consists in

Overview: Fatigue mechanisms and performance in SLM partsSelective laser melting (SLM) has established itself as the most prominent additive manufacturing (AM) process for metallic structures in aerospace, automotive and medical industries. For a reliable employment of this process, it has to conform to the demanding requirements of these industries in terms of quasistatic and, especially, fatigue performance. Shafaqat Siddique identifies the influence of SLM processing conditions on the microstructural features, and their corresponding influence on the mechanical behavior of the processed AlS

Overview: Lesebuch zum Thema Religion und Politik.Zur Bedeutung der drei Weltreligionen für Staat und Politik.Eine der ersten politikwissenschaftlichen Analysen.Includes supplementary material: .Die Politikwissenschaft hat sich des Religionsthemas bislang kaum angenommen. Vielmehr war und ist die Religion in der Sozialwissenschaft ein klassisches Thema der Soziologie (Weber, Durkheim, Berger, Luckmann, Luhmann). Aus einer vergleichenden Perspektive heraus will diese politikwissenschaftliche Analyse Antworten auf folgende Fragen finden: Warum haben die christlichen Konfessionen in Europa an pol

Thisbook presents novel approaches for the design of high performancehandoff algorithms that exploit attractive features of severalexisting algorithms, provide adaptation to dynamic cellularenvironment, and allow systematic tradeoffs among different systemcharacteristics. Efficient handoff algorithms cost-effectively enhancethe capacity and quality of service (QoS) of cellular systems. Acomprehensi

Overview: Draws together perspectives from the Global South and North.Includes analysis of participatory processes.Examines both formal and informal learning spacesThis edited book draws on an international cohort of authors, all working towards sustainable, decolonizing human development for more just futures in a variety of learning spaces. Integrating sustainable human development with ‘reparative futures’, the chapters present diverse examples of how transformative learning spaces can be created through different participatory methodologies and with different stakeholders. The book will be

Overview: Written by professionals of multidisciplinary backgrounds, this book provides stimulating and though-provoking evidence-based research across a comprehensive range of topics, from problems of cultural sensitivity and resilience to the use of cognitive behavioural therapy and the prevention of secondary trauma among carers and healthcare providers.978-1-349-54576-6978-0-230-62580-8

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The increasingly active eld of Evolutionary Computation (EC) provides val- ble tools, inspired by the theory of natural selection and genetic inheritance, to problem solving, machine learning, and optimization in many real-world app- cations. Despite some early intuitions about EC, that can be dated back to the - vention of computers, and a better formal de nition of EC, made in the 1960s, the quest for real-world applications of EC only began in the late 1980s. The dramatic increase in computer performances in the last decade of the 20th c- tury gave

Overview: In der wissenschaftlichen Literatur zu Unternehmensführung und Corporate Governance wird die herausragende Bedeutung der Besetzung der obersten Führungspositionen betont, und auch in der Öffentlichkeit findet das Thema große Beachtung.

Ausgehend von dem ermittelten ökonomietheoretischen

Overview: Discusses the question on how to design a structure such that unwanted self-excited vibrations.Includes supplementary material: This book studies methods for a robust design of rotors against self-excited vibrations. The occurrence of self-excited vibrations in engineering applications if often unwanted and in many cases difficult to model. Thinking of complex systems such as machines with many components and mechanical contacts, it is important to have guidelines for design so that the functionality is robust against small imperfections. This book discusses the question on how to de

Overview: A sports reporter might say that in a competition all the participants realize their potentialities or possibilities. When an athlete performs far below his usual standard, it can be said that it was possible for him to do better. But the idea of fair play requires that this use of ‘possible‘ refers to another com­ petition. It is presumed that the best athlete wins and that no real possibility of doing better is left unrealized in a competition. Here we have a use of language, a language game, in which modal notions are used so as to imply that if something is possible, it is realiz
