Overview: This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access.Presents an interdisciplinary approach to reveal biases in English news articles reporting on a given political event.Intr.This open access book presents an interdisciplinary approach to reveal biases in English news articles reporting on a given political event. The approach named person-oriented framing analysis identifies the coverage’s different perspectives on the event by assessing how articles portray the persons involved in the event. In contrast to prior automated approaches, the identified frames

Overview: Seit Anfang der 90er Jahre wird auf europäischer und nationaler Ebene die Frage diskutiert, inwieweit sich industriepolitische Mittel für die Beeinflussung der räumlichen Wirtschaftsstruktur eignen. Thorsten Feix zeigt, wie die moderne Volkswirtschaftslehre die räumliche Wirtschaftsstruktur erklärt und welchen bedeutenden Einfluß die Industriepolitik spielt. Im Ergebnis rät der Autor aufgrund ökonomischer Vorbehalte und politischer Umsetzungsprobleme jedoch davon ab, die Industriepolitik für räumliche Strukturziele einzusetzen.978-3-8244-6306-0978-3-322-99397-7

Overview: Language depends on a normally functioning left hemisphere. This central fact of human cerebral dominance was well established by 19th century aphasiologists and has been repeatedly confirmed by subsequent investiga­ tions. Predominance, however, does not imply exclusivity. As demonstrated by the commissurotomy patients studied by Eran Zaidel and associates, the right hemisphere is also capable of subserving some linguistic functions. The question, then, is not whether the right hemisphere can process language, but how and when it does so. This volume focuses on the right hemisphere‘

In addition the book contains the abstract of 2 keynote speeches and an append

Overview: The extent of John Ruskin‘s influence has long been acknowledged, though his impact on the development of Anglo-American modernism has received little systematic attention. In this volume, published to mark the centenary of Ruskin‘s death, a group of international scholars consider what is often an awkward and conflicted relation. Ruskin‘s voluminous writings are seen to shelter an incipient modernism whose antipathy to a degraded modernity, powerfully predicts a major current within the work of the new century.978-1-349-42315-6978-1-4039-1360-9

Overview: The book gives the latest know-how and up-to-date information on the research process.Different instruments and computing facilities are described taking into account their use and misuse, and reportiThis book is the outcome of more than 20 years of experience of the author in teaching and research field. The wider scope and coverage of the book will help not only the students/ researchers/professionals in the field of agriculture and allied disciplines, but also the researchers and practitioners in other fields. Written in simple and lucid language, the book would appeal to all thos

Overview: There is a tradition behind the current radiologic examination of the small bowel. Many of the great names in gastrointestinal radiology have established their reputations on the basis of their work in the small bowel. This is an area which is assuming ever greater importance for radiologists as its mucosal surface continues to elude the endos­ copist. Moreover, it is an aspect of radiology which calls for the greatest technical and interpretative skill. It is a great pleasure to welcome the English language version of this beautiful work on Radiology of the Small Intestine. English­

Overview: More than most writers, Robert Louis Stevenson requires a Literary Life. Fascination with Stevenson‘s life (the ‘Stevenson biography‘ is almost a minor genre) has tended to eclipse his literary achievement. This study focuses on Stevenson‘s writing practice within the different geographical, cultural and political contexts that shaped it, from Scotland to the South Seas. Following Stevenson‘s own views on biography, the book is not structured primarily in terms of chronology, but is more a kind of literary geography than traditional literary history.978-0-333-98401-7978-0-230-51034-0

Overview: Addresses macro-economic factors that affect the reduction of natural resource revenue dependency.Examines the driving public and private sector factors affecting the dependency on natural resources f.This book examines the reduction of natural resource revenue dependency in resource-rich countries. Such countries experience lower economic growth due to factors of high volatility in commodity prices, reduction in accountability, undermining of the competitiveness of other economic sectors, and weak power of institutions. The analysis is based on an identified gap in the literature re

Overview: Considers how engineering education can be transformed to facilitate engineering for a healthier, more just world.Shares the knowledge building process that is viable for developing curriculum develop.This book considers a radical change to engineering education. It argues for a reexamination of the traditional way in which engineering students are educated in disciplinary silos and how, instead, we might re-imagine their professional education to more appropriately prepare students to design innovative solutions to increasingly complex global challenges. It poses the question: “How

Overview: This book offers an examination of the idea of representation and the institutional realities that shaped it in early modern Europe and European America. Contributors demonstrate how a country‘s history, society, and national experience dictate how representation is realized in political institutions, including parliaments, riksdags and reichstags.978-1-349-53601-6978-0-230-60365-3

Overview: Stands as the only monograph examining theory for constructing interpolation functions for a general class of elements.Provides mathematicians working in algebraic geometry applications of deep concep.This three-part volume explores theory for construction of rational interpolation functions for continuous patchwork approximation.  Authored by the namesake of the Wachspress Coordinates, the book develops construction of basis functions for a broad class of elements which have widespread graphics and finite element application. Part one is the 1975 book “A Rational Finite Element Basi

Overview: Quaternion multiplication can be used to rotate vectors in three-dimensions. Therefore, in computer graphics, quaternions have three principal applications: to increase speed and reduce storage for calculations involving rotations, to avoid distortions arising from numerical inaccuracies caused by floating point computations with rotations, and to interpolate between two rotations for key frame animation. Yet while the formal algebra of quaternions is well-known in the graphics community, the derivations of the formulas for this algebra and the geometric principles underlying this al

Overview: Foreword Looking back the past 30 years. we have seen steady progress made in the area of speech science and technology. I still remember the excitement in the late seventies when Texas Instruments came up with a toy named "Speak-and-Spell" which was based on a VLSI chip containing the state-of-the-art linear prediction synthesizer. This caused a speech technology fever among the electronics industry. Particularly. applications of automatic speech recognition were rigorously attempt­ ed by many companies. some of which were start-ups founded just for this purpose. Unfortunately. it d

Protected areas have often been defined as the backbones of biodiversity conservation. However, legitimate demands formulated by countries for their economic development, growing human populations, forest fragmentations, and needs of local communities for sustainable livelihoods are also pressing dema
