Overview: This book can be looked upon in more ways than one. On the one hand, it describes strikingly interesting and lucid hydrodynamic experiments done in the style of the "good old days" when the physicist needed little more than a piece of string and some sealing wax. On the other hand, it demonstrates how a profound physical analogy can help to get a synoptic view on a broad range of nonlinear phenomena involving self-organization of vortical structures in planetary atmo­ spheres and oceans, in galaxies and in plasmas. In particular, this approach has elucidated the nature and the mechan

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: .Die gesellschaftstheoretische Behandlung der Wirtschaftstheorie war bereits in den Debatten um die Österreichische Schule der Nationalökonomie Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts relevant. In diesem Kontext stellt Christoph Morlok die werkgeschichtliche Frage nach der Entstehung der „soziologischen Grundkategorien des Wirtschaftens“ von Max Weber. Er verfolgt die These, dass Weber auf einen missglückten Integrationsversuch von Wirtschaftstheorie und Gesellschaftstheorie des damals führenden Ökonomen Friedrich von Wieser reagier

Overview: 1) Explores common themes in Islamic metaphysics and occidental phenomenology.2) Common themes in eastern and western philosophy opens ways for a fruitful dialogue.3) Concentrates on foundations of raRationality in its various expressions and innumerable applications sustains understanding and our sense of reality. It is traditionally differentiated according to its sources in the soul: in consciousness, in reason, in experience, and in elevation. Such a functional approach, however, leaves us searching for the common foundation harmonizing these rationalities.The perennial quest to

Overview: Deals with one of the most interesting and fundamental problems of modern physics.Includes supplementary material: The development of a consistent picture for the processes of decoherence and quantum measurement requires a treatment which is compatible with the theory of relativity. This volume reviews some of the approaches suggested to solve or circumvent the arising difficulties. Starting from an analysis of the level of compatibility of the measurement problem with the special theory of relativity, the role of non-locality and entanglement are discussed. The subject is also addre

Overview: Explores the social and technical aspects of dependability and responsibility.This book brings together for the first time two important features of a computer system to be embedded in an organisational context: responsibility, meaning whether the computer system properly supports the organisational responsibilities that people are allocated; and dependability, which means whether it does so in a way that people can justifiably trust it to perform its operation correctly....Organisational responsibility is examined from philosophical, social and practical viewpoints, which then leads

Overview: Mixture of contributions from engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists gives a truly interdisciplinary view of the state-of-the-art in computational engineering.Variety of applications prese.This book presents selected papers from the 3rd International Workshop on Computational Engineering held in Stuttgart from October 6 to 10, 2014, bringing together innovative contributions from related fields with computer science and mathematics as an important technical basis among others. The workshop discussed the state of the art and the further evolution of numerical techniques fo

Overview: That residues of pesticide and other "foreign" chemicals in food­ stuffs are of concern to everyone everywhere is amply attested by the reception accorded previous volumes of "Residue Reviews" and by the gratifying enthusiasm, sincerity, and efforts shown by all the in­ dividuals from whom manuscripts have been solicited. Despite much propaganda to the contrary, there can never be any serious question that pest-control chemicals and food-additive chemicals are essential to adequate food production, manufacture, marketing, and storage, yet without continuing surveillance and intellige

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Visualinformationsystemsareinformationsystemsforvisualcomputing.Visual computing is computing on visual objects. Some visual objects such as images are inherently visual in the sense that their primary representation is the visual representation.Somevisualobjectssuchasdatastructuresarederivativelyvisual in the sense that their primary representation is not the visual representation, but can be transformed into a visual representation. Images and data structures are the two extremes. Other visual objects such as maps may fall somewhere in between the t

Overview: Through the lens of Akira Kurosawa‘s films, Martinez dissects the human tendency to make connections in a pioneering attempt to build a bridge out of diverse materials: the anthropology of Japan, film studies, and postmodern theory.978-0-230-62167-1

Overview: Offers models for legally structuring the repatriation of indigenous heritage.Extensively incorporates human rights standards into repatriation frameworks.Builds on the extensive repatriation experien.This book examines the ways in which law can be used to structure the return of indigenous sacred cultural heritage to indigenous communities, referred to as repatriation in this volume. In particular, it aims at developing legal structures that align repatriation with contemporary international human rights standards.  To do so, it gathers the most valuable lessons learned from differe

Overview: Presents the most recent work on the design of redundant robot systems, their control, performance, human-robot interaction and reliability analysis.Based on contributions presented at the IROS 2011 W.The trend in the evolution of robotic systems is that the number of degrees of freedom increases. This is visible both in robot manipulator design and in the shift of focus from single to multi-robot systems. Following the principles of evolution in nature, one may infer that adding degrees of freedom to robot systems design is beneficial. However, since nature did not select snake-like

Overview: Offers a complete survey on the problem of redox environments.Introduction to measurement techniquesFew processes are as important for environmental geochemistry as the interplay between the oxidation and reduction of dissolved and solid species. The knowledge of the redox conditions is most important to predict the geochemical behaviour of a great number of components, the mobilities of which are directly or indirectly controlled by redox processes. The understanding of the chemical mechanisms responsible for the establishment of measurable potentials is the major key for the evalua

Overview: Clearly illustrates the surgical procedures for radiofrequency ablation.Demonstrates the advantages and effectiveness of this minimally invasive technique.Introduces 5 commonly used radiofrequency abl.This book provides a comprehensive guide to the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma (sHCC) using a minimally invasive technique: radiofrequency ablation (RFA). RFA has emerged as a new treatment modality and become the main modality of locoregional therapy. Extensive clinical research indicates that RFA is as effective as surgical resection for sHCC, and it has the advantage of
