Overview: Why did the two most influential philosophers in the twentieth century, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Martin Heidegger, write in such a curious fashion that they confused a whole generation of disciples and created a cottage industry for a second generation in the interpretation of their works? Do those curious writing strategies have a philosophical signif­ icance? How does philosophical style reflect attitudes to society and politics or bear significance for the social sciences? Is politics one type of human activity among many other independent ones as the classical modem political theo

Overview: Software architectures have gained wide popularity in the lastdecade. They generally play a fundamental role in coping with theinherent difficulties of the development of large-scale and complexsoftware systems.

Overview: Somite development is a unique and important topic; unique because somitic mesoderm is the first tissue to become segmented, important because the somites - once established - exert a profound influence on other seg­ mental structures which form later. Somite development is of interest at a number of levels. In one aspect, demarcation of a specific number of somites and size regulation, it is a particularly intriguing example of embryonic pattern formation, ‘especially in vew of its possible relation to homoeobox-controlled segmentation in insects. At another level, somite developmen

Overview: Includes valuable information for both specialists and the public.Presents bioengineering systems for the control of soil erosion.Introduces appropriate techniques and methods for vegetation establish.This book focuses on drylands such as arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas where they form the main part of ecosystems, e.g., in Iran, but also around the world. Mismanagement and improper exploitation of these areas lead to more degradation day by day. ..Besides an introduction to the role and importance of vegetation cover in conserving soil against wind and water erosion, this boo

Overview: Synthesizes the current state of knowledge in forest landscape disturbance models.Uses models to explore advancements and challenges in modeling techniques.Identifies future needs in quantifying fores.Forest landscape disturbances are a global phenomenon. Simulation models are an important tool in understanding these broad scale processes and exploring their effects on forest ecosystems. This book contains a collection of insights from a group of ecologists who address a variety of processes: physical disturbances such as drought, wind, and fire; biological disturbances such as defol

Overview: 1. Would a better understanding of the anatomy and improvement of the method make it possible to reduce the percentage of failures sufficiently to earn selective arteriography of bronchial and intercostal arteries a place among the accepted methods of selective arteriographic investigation? 2. Can indications for such selective arteriographical investigations be formulated? The answers to these questions were considered to offer a basis for the evaluation of the clinical contribution to be expected of this method. In designing this research project, we started by making a detailed st

Overview: A significant part of the book deals with benchmarking and comparing the performances of different optimization schemes.Includes supplementary material: Our purpose in writing this book was to provide a compendium of stochastic optimizationtechniques,someguidesto wheneachisappropriateinpractical situations, and a few useful ways of thinking about optimization as a p- cess of search in some very rich con?guration spaces. Each of us has come to optimization, traditionally a subject studied in applied mathematics, from a background in physics, especially the statistical physics of rando

Overview: The odd reader (here in England "odd" means occasional) may be interested in how a book comes about. Members of the SIECUS Board of Directors were planning a Festschrift and dinner for Mary Calderone on the occasion of her 75th birthday. One planning idea was to have a booklet, filled with brief essays from prominent sex educators, distributed between the roast beef and the ice cream. My reaction was that such "souvenirs" find their burial place in the same dusty drawer as the program from the high school prom and ticket stubs from South Pacific. I suggested a more lasting, noticeabl

Overview: In this book, we aim to provide a fairly comprehensive overview of the scalability and efficiency challenges in large-scale web search engines. More specifically, we cover the issues involved in the design of three separate systems that are commonly available in every web-scale search engine: web crawling, indexing, and query processing systems. We present the performance challenges encountered in these systems and review a wide range of design alternatives employed as solution to these challenges, specifically focusing on algorithmic and architectural optimizations. We discuss the a
