Overview: Wandel von Rechtsstaat und DemokratieDie Bedeutung des Rechtsstaates erlangt im Zuge der Entstehung junger Demokratien verstärkt Aufmerksamkeit. Diskutiert werden die Folgen oftmals prekärer Rechtsstaatlichkeit für die funktionsweise und die Konsolidierung junger Demokratien. Die damit begonnene Debatte zeigt, dass es notwendig ist, auch die bereits etablierten Demokratien in die Betrachtung einzuschließen. Eine Voraussetzung für die empirische Untersuchung ist allerdings, den komplizierten Zusammenhang zwischen Demokratie und Recht aufzuklären. Der vorliegende Band greift die genann

Overview: Brings much of the existing literature under one roof.Fundamental results are organized in a unified manner.A number of existing proofs are refined.Corrects a number of errors that have spread through.The Virasoro algebra is an infinite dimensional Lie algebra that plays an increasingly important role in mathematics and theoretical physics. This book describes some fundamental facts about the representation theory of the Virasoro algebra in a self-contained manner. Topics include the structure of Verma modules and Fock modules, the classification of (unitarizable) Harish-Chandra modu

Overview: The first book at the foundation of the new research field of Psychological Future Management.First study case in a unique interdisciplinary approach at the interface of psychology, sociology and (indThis volume deals with a key concept concerning the future: change. It is omnipresent and yet is often only perceived in retrospect. The book’s editor and founder of Psychological Future Management argues that we are currently experiencing the beginning of the most radical and profound change in human history. This is the right moment to analyze people’s ability to change more precisely.

Overview: Innovation is central to the success of technology companies. The CEOs of these companies must make a priority of ensuring that technical know how is effectively converted into value. The paradox is that they rarely do. Resolving the Innovation Paradox shows how to put innovation for longer-term growth at the centre of the CEO radar. One tool is distributed innovation . Distributed innovation offers companies two main benefits. First, companies raise revenue by using channels such as licensing and selling innovation projects. Second, companies tap into external technical know-how, co

Overview: Confronted with apartheid, dictatorship or the sheer scale of global economics, realism can no longer function with the certainties of the nineteenth century. Free Realist Style considers how the style of the realist novel changes as its epistemological horizons narrow.978-1-137-45132-3

Overview: Presents the latest scientific and clinical developments in ILDs.Describes the pathology and the analysis of CT images.Discusses up-to-date interventional diagnosis procedures.This book demonstrates the recent advances in rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) for differential diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Interstitial lung disease is a group of diffuse parenchymal lung disorders affecting the interstitium, a part of the lung‘s anatomic structure, causing inflammation, scarring, or excess fluid. ILDs include interstitial pneumonia, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, nonspecific

Overview: During the years 1903-1914, Ramanujan worked in almost complete isolation in India. During this time, he recorded most of his mathematical discoveries without proofs in notebooks. Although many of his results were already found in the literature, most were not. Almost a decade after Ramanujan‘s death in 1920, G.N. Watson and B.M. Wilson began to edit Ramanujan‘s notebooks, but they never completed the task. A photostat edition, with no editing, was published by the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Bombay in 1957. This book is the fourth of five volumes devoted to the editing

Overview: Viruses, being obligatory parasites of their host cells, rely on a vast supply of cellular components for their replication, regardless of whether infection leads to cell death or to the state of persistence. Animal viruses are providing scientists with relatively simple models to study the molecular biology of genome replication and gene expression. Whereas viruses use, in general, pathways of macromolecular biosynthesis common to the host cell, they have a cunning ability to adopt unusual mechanisms of gene expression and gene replication, provided these special pathways offer an a

Overview: Connects irrational components of ethics with rational elements of conceptualization and calculus of ethics.Questions the notions of person, personality, dignity, and connected notions such as (inform.This book questions the notions of person, personality, dignity, and other connected notions such as (informed) consent, and discusses new perspectives on categories that allow ethical debates in medicine to overcome morals and ordinary religious schemes. The book states that one has to be careful when thinking about situations in terms of notions and principles that have been obtained

Overview: A growing concern of mine has been the unrealistic expectations for new computer-related technologies introduced into all kinds of organizations. Unrealistic expectations lead to disappointment, and a schizophrenic approach to the introduction of new technologies. The UNIX and real-time UNIX operating system technologies are major examples of emerging technologies with great potential benefits but unrealistic expectations. Users want to use UNIX as a common operating system throughout large segments of their organizations. A common operating system would decrease software costs by he

Overview: Führt,‘beginnend mit den grundlegenden physikalischen Prinzipen, in großen Zügen durch die Domänen und Themen.Regt dazu an, die eigenen Vorstellungen der Evolutionsbiologie fundamental zu überdenken.BDieses Werk fokussiert vor allem auf evolutionäre Prozesse (und weniger auf evolutionäre Geschichte). Themen sind abiotische Rahmenbedingungen, Morphologie und Physiologie lebender Organismen, fossile und molekulare Hinweise auf evolutionäre Entwicklungen. Die grundlegenden Prozesse biologischer Evolution sind bereits in einzelligen Organismen festgelegt. Entwicklungsoptionen für vielzel

Overview: Provides a comprehensive review of inter-organ communication.Includes in-depth discussions on skeletal muscle‘s role in prenatal development.Emphasizes the need to view the developing body, its organs.Muscle is the only tissue of the four basic types that make the body that can be completely ablated while allowing fetal survival. This book is a result of 25 years of research employing engineered mouse fetuses with no skeletal muscle, a model system that provides a unique opportunity to study body development holistically...A systematic anatomical analysis of such fetuses have shown t

Overview: Recent research in Robotic Sailing.Proceedings of the 7th International Robotic Sailing Conference.Written by leading experts in the field.An autonomous sailboat robot is a boat that only uses the wind on its sail as the propelling force, without remote control or human assistance to achieve its mission. Robotic sailing offers the potential of long range and long term autonomous wind propelled, solar or wave-powered carbon neutral devices. Robotic sailing devices could contribute to monitoring of environmental, ecological, meteorological, hydrographic and oceanographic data. These de
