Overview: A unique book which is intended to demonstrate the problem solving potential of tree growth modeling theory as it is requested by various end user groups.There is a strong movement towards uneven-aged forest management based on the idea that such stands increase or at least maintain soil fertility, increase biodiversity, and improve stand resilience. This shift in forest management practice renders existing yield tables increasingly unreliable. Among potential alternatives are tree growth models, because they predict the growth of each tree within a forest stand. This book summarizes

Overview: This volume contains the lecture notes of ten courses given at the XIV Latin American School of Physics (XIV LASP) which took place in Caracas, Venezuela, from the 10th to the 28th of July 1972. The LASP is held each year in a different Latin American country. Its purpose is to bring together young Latin American physicists at the doctorate level to attend lectures given by well known scientists. The participants are also invited to give seminars on their research work. The topics of the courses given this year were chosen according to the existent fields of interest in Latin America

Overview: Safety-related computer systems are those which may lead to loss of life, injury or plant and environmental damage. Such systems therefore have to be developed and implemented so that they meet strict require­ and security because their applications cover ments on safety, reliability nearly all areas of daily life and range from controlling and monitoring industrial processes, through robotics and power generation, to transport systems. Highly reliable electronic systems for safety-related applications represent an area in which industry has been involved for many years and which is

It also presents a range of models, indices, impact categories, etc. for SLCA that are currently being developed for industrial applications. Though SLCA was introduced in 2010, it is still relatively new compared to environmental life cycle assessment (ELCA).  978-981-13-3233-3Series ISSN 234

Overview: This balanced and innovative collection explores the relationship of Shakespeare‘s plays to the changing face of early modern religion, considering the connections between Shakespeare‘s theatre and the religious past, the religious identities of the present and the deep cultural changes that would shape the future of religion in the modern world.978-1-349-30336-6978-0-230-24085-8Series ISSN 2634-5919 Series E-ISSN 2634-5927

Overview: Eine andere Einführung in Werk, Person und Mythos Friedrich Schillers.Was Schillers Wirkung ausmacht.Mit Wirkungszeugnissen aus Literatur, Musik, Kunst und den Wissenschaften.Includes supplementary maSchiller gilt als Klassiker eingemauert in das Gefängnis seiner Überzeitlichkeit. Aber kein anderer ist so sehr Zeitgenosse aller Zeiten gewesen wie er. Er hat die Beben der Französischen Revolution vor ihrem Ausbruch gespürt, hat den Aufstand einer jungen Generation gegen die Welt der Väter inszeniert. Kein anderer hat die Freiheit der Kunst so vehement verteidigt und der bürgerlichen S

Overview: The six studies in this volume represent investigations into aspects of the management of government enterprise. For the most part the concern is with those governmental units or agencies that provide products having nongovernmental counterparts. In each case the enterprise is taken as given, and there is no attempt to justify the participation of government in the production of goods. Instead, these studies attempt to define the positions and the functions of the decision makers, to evaluate product and pricing decisions and to specify appropriate mechanisms for providing the adequa

Overview: Present recent technologies and applications of soft computing technologies in XML data management.Written by experts in the field.Introduces new conceptsBeing the de-facto standard for data representation and exchange over the Web, XML (Extensible Markup Language) allows the easy development of applications that exchange data over the Web. This creates a set of data management requirements involving XML. XML and related standards have been extensively applied in many business, service, and multimedia applications. As a result, a large volume of data is managed today directly in XML

Overview: The first substantial textbook on pragmatics to focus on Spanish. The authors discuss key theories within the Anglo-American tradition of pragmatics, concentrating on the relationship between language use and socio-cultural contexts, and their uptake by Hispanists. Drawing on research by foremost scholars in the field, with reference to a wide range of ‘Spanishes‘, including a first treatment of ‘sociopragmatic variation‘. Concepts throughout are illustrated with real language examples taken from different Spanish corpora. The book is carefully structured to be appropriate for upper-

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The book integrates theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and modeling approaches for the treatment of singular phenomena. The projects covered focus on actual applied problems, and develop qualitatively new and mathematically challenging methods for various problems from the natural sciences. Ranging from stochastic and geometric analysis over nonlinear analysis and modelling to numerical analysis and scientific computation, the book is divided into the three sections: A) Scaling limits of diffusion processes and singular spaces, B) Multiple sca

Overview: This book analyzes the interaction between nationalism, feminism and socialism in Indonesia since the beginning of the twentieth century until the New Order State of President Suharto. The focus is on the communist women‘s organization Gerwani, which was by 1965 the largest communist women‘s organization in the non-communist world. Gerwani members combined feminist demands such as a reform of the marriage law with an insistence upon a political role for women. The organization was destroyed in a campaign of sexual slander orchestrated by the military under General Suharto. Hundreds o
