Overview: Serves as timely reminder of the importance of metaphors in International Relations in their historical/theoretical aspects.Dissects how foreign policy is conceptualized and assists in determining howThis book presents an analysis of how metaphors are essential elements in the study of international relations. It acknowledges the fact that theory and practice in international relations often rest on common metaphorical concepts which have implications for the ways people around the world pursue their lives. Because of the increased attention metaphors have received as integral elemen

Overview: Comprises the current state of research on workplace learning.Brings together leaders in the field and inspiring mid and early career researchers from eight countries.Sketches theoretical as well as eThe volume comprises a variety of research approaches that seek to explore and understand employees’ learning and development through and for work. Working life reveals challenges through technological, economic and societal development that can only rudimentarily be addressed by formal education and training. Workplace learning becomes more and more important for employees and enterpris

Overview: The Joint Institute for Aeronautics and Acoustics at Stanford University was established in October 1973 to provide an academic environment for long-term cooperative research between Stanford and NASA Ames Research Center. Since its establishment, the In­ stitute has wnducted theoretical and experimental work in the areas of aerodynamics, acoustics, fluid mechanics, flight dynamics, guid­ ance and control, and human factors. This research has involved Stanford faculty, research associates, graduate students, and many distinguished visitors in collaborative efforts with the research s

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of theFirst International Rapid Mashup Challenge, RMC 2015, held on June 23, 2015, inRotterdam, The Netherlands, in conjunction with the 15th International Conferenceon Web Engineering, ICWE 2015...The 2015 edition of the challenge is the firstinstallment of a series of challenges that aim to engage researchers andpractitioners in a competition for the best mashup approach. The 6 thoroughlyreviewed contributions contained in this volume are extended versions of theinitial proposals that served the author

Overview: Focuses on situatedness in African politics.Links the three core areas of leadership, human rights and justice in Africa.Offers African perspectives to find African solutions for African problems.Failed attempts in Africa to develop, democratise and instil virtues of a just state and society which promote benevolent leadership and advance political and economic rights and freedoms call for a ‘new’ imagination. By exploring a wide range of issues concerning justice, human rights and leadership, this book makes two major contributions to the extant literature in each of these areas. Fi

Overview: Is the first book of its kind to comprehensively address positive adaptation from birth to emerging adulthood among the D/deaf and hard of hearing.Is the first edited volume that addresses both theory.Historically, the diagnosis of deafness in a child has been closely associated with profound disability, including such typical outcomes as unmet potential and a life of isolation. A major shift away from this negative view has led to improved prospects for deaf children..Resilience in Deaf Children. emphasizes not only the capability of deaf individuals to withstand adversity, but also

Overview: Quantitative Theories and Quantitative Models for Social Systems.Presents Recent applications of computational Intelligence to Social Systems.Devoted to the quantification of social systems.Includes s.The papers collected in this volume focus on new perspectives on individuals, society, and science, specifically in the field of socio-economic systems. The book is the result of a scientific collaboration among experts from “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi (Romania), “G. d’Annunzio” University of Chieti-Pescara (Italy), "University of Defence" of Brno (Czech Republic), and "Pab

Overview: Profanität und Sakralität - Wie Religion gelebt wird.Alltagssoziologische Studien zur Religiosität.Prominent besetzter Sammelband.Includes supplementary material: Für das moderne Wissenschaftsverständnis und folglich für viele Soziologen ist das Thema Religion unbequem und unattraktiv und wird deshalb nach Möglichkeit umgangen. Diese Tatsache steht in eklatantem Widerspruch zur weltgeschichtlichen Bedeutung des Phänomens Religion, zur Entstehungsgeschichte der Soziologie und zum alltäglichen Leben der Menschen. Zu allen Zeiten haben Menschen auf der Suche nach dem gelingenden Leben z

Overview: Introduction to reliability theory written from a mathematician for industrial engineering students.Special emphasis is laid on preventive maintenance.Includes supplementary material: The material in this book was first presented as a one-semester course in Relia­ bility Theory and Preventive Maintenance for M.Sc. students of the Industrial Engineering Department of Ben Gurion University in the 1997/98 and 1998/99 academic years. Engineering students are mainly interested in the applied part of this theory. The value of preventive maintenance theory lies in the possibility of its imp

Overview: It is often said that we live in a violent world. Traumatic injuries are commonplace; every hospital, large or small, sees scores of such patients daily. Appropriate diagnosis and management of the trauma patient are necessary not only to save lives but also to minimize the morbidity which follows injury. It is not surprising, therefore, that several books covering various aspects of trauma diagnosis and treatment are published annually. They are, however, seldom redundant because of the continuing rapid evolution of knowledge relating to the diagnosis and management of the traumatiz

Overview: Presents robust, event-triggered control of nonlinear systems, including the theories, technologies and applications.Includes the design of event-triggered control algorithms for nonlinear systems subThis book presents a study on the novel concept of "event-triggered control of nonlinear systems subject to disturbances", discussing the theory and practical applications. Richly illustrated, it is a valuable resource for researchers, engineers and graduate students in automation engineering who wish to learn the theories, technologies, and applications of event-triggered control of non

Overview: as well as by the list of open problems in the final section of this monograph. The computational power of rational homotopy theory is due to the discovery by Quillen [135] and by Sullivan [144] of an explicit algebraic formulation. In each case the rational homotopy type of a topological space is the same as the isomorphism class of its algebraic model and the rational homotopy type of a continuous map is the same as the algebraic homotopy class of the correspond­ ing morphism between models. These models make the rational homology and homotopy of a space transparent. They also (in
