The last chapter of the book is devoted to homotopy groups, which are used in short introduction on obstruction theory. The text is more in tune with the original develop

Overview: Lebensqualität im Alter in schrumpfenden StädtenDie Bevölkerung Deutschlands schrumpft und altert. In immer mehr Kommunen trifft die Erosion der baulichen und sozialen Umwelt auf eine ältere Bewohnerschaft, für deren Lebensqualität Stabilität und Kontinuität besonders bedeutsam sind. Ausgehend von theoretischen Modellen der ökologischen Gerontologie und einer breiten Datenbasis aus eigenen empirischen Erhebungen in Hoyerswerda und Wolfen analysiert Andreas Peter die vielschichtige Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehung im Alter unter den Bedingungen von Schrumpfung und Stadtumbau. Es werden praxisr

Overview: Brings together recent original research and survey articles by leading experts in singularity theory and computer algebra.Highlights a large variety of techniques, ranging from theoretical methods toThis book arose from a conference on “Singularities and Computer Algebra” which was held at the Pfalz-Akademie Lambrecht in June 2015 in honor of Gert-Martin Greuel’s 70th birthday. This unique volume presents a collection of recent original research by some of the leading figures in singularity theory on a broad range of topics including topological and algebraic aspects, classification

Overview: .This book explores the early-stage detection of cancer using polarized light. It discusses the diverse properties of the light (temporal and spatial coherence, polarization, fluorescence, etc.) that can be used non-invasively as an optical technique for recognizing precancerous lesions, which could become a reliable and accurate method for cancer screening. The search for the effective means for cancer screening is of particular interest to scientific and medical communities, because cancer takes its toll around the globe with no respect for age or gender. Early detection of the dis

Overview: Stanislaw Lesniewski (1886-1939) was one of the leading Polish logicians and founders of the Warsaw School of Logic whose membership included, beside himself, Jan Lukasiewicz, Tadeusz Kotarbinski, Alfred Tarski, and many others. In his lifetime LeSniewski published only a few hundred pages. He produced many important results in many areas of mathematics; these stood in various relations to each other, and to materials produced by others, and, in time, created more and more editorial problems. Very many were left unpublished at the time of his death. Then in 1944 in the fire of Warsaw

Overview: .The book presents the state of the art in high-performance computing and simulation on modern supercomputer architectures. It covers trends in hardware and software development in general, and the future of high-performance systems and heterogeneous architectures specifically. The application contributions cover computational fluid dynamics, material science, medical applications and climate research. Innovative fields like coupled multi-physics or multi-scale simulations are also discussed. All papers were chosen from presentations given at the 20th Workshop on Sustained Simulation

Overview: The second edition of Project-Based Learning (PBL) presents an original approach to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) centric PBL with teacher friendly forms and rubrics includedThis second edition of Project-Based Learning (PBL) presents an original approach to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) centric PBL. We define PBL as an “ill-defined task with a well-defined outcome,” which is consistent with our engineering design philosophy and the accountability highlighted in a standards-based environment. This model emphasizes a backward design

Overview: Der Diskurs über Sexual Correctness wird in diesem Buch mittels einer Printmedienanalyse als politisch funktionale Konstruktion eines modernisierten Antifeminismus entlarvt. Die Diskurse über Political and Sexual Correctness sind in den 90er Jahren zum kulturellen Allgemeingut geworden. Ausgehend von der These, daß es sich dabei um funktionale Medienkonstrukte handelt, geht die mit diesem Buch vorliegende Diskursanalyse meinungsbildender Printmedien den folgenden zentralen Fragen nach: Handelt es sich bei dem Sexual-Correctness-Diskurs vornehmlich um die "Modernisierung" alter sexist

Overview: Shakespeare‘s Culture in Modern Performance is an original study at the interface of a historicizing literary criticism and the study of modern performance. In a critical climate that views the cultural object of performance as authentic in itself, is there any point in exploring a script‘s original history? The writer argues for a dialogic understanding of Shakespeare‘s plays in performance relative to unresolved issues of modernity, in a study of modern productions on stage and screen.978-1-349-42959-2978-0-230-59716-7

Overview: The purpose of this research monograph is to utilize algebraic and systems theory for the structure analysis and design of multivariable control systems described by state-space representations and matrix fraction descriptions. A unified approach characterizing the dynamics of a system through the formulation of the characteristic -matrix of the system is presented. The latent structures, solvents, divisors, and spectral factors of the non-singular characteristic -matrix and their relationships with the respesctive counterparts of the state-space representations are explored.

Overview: Im Zeitalter des Electronic Commerce erfordern moderne Management- und Kooperationskonzepte, wie Business Process Reengineering (BPR) oder Efficient Consumer Response (ECR), eine integrierte, unternehmensübergreifende Prozeßgestaltung. Dem stehen sowohl informationstechnologisch als auch organisatorisch Anwendungssysteme entgegen, deren Datenmodelle und Vorgangsbearbeitungen inkompatibel sind. Rainer Scheckenbach zeigt technische und organisatorische Rahmenbedingungen der zwischenbetrieblich integrierten Informationsverarbeitung auf. Im Vordergrund stehen Aspekte der Semantik und Dyn

Overview: Most current research on the negative and positive consequences of the pervasiveness of information technology in society.Includes supplementary material: .Changes in society resulting from the pervasiveness of information technology have produced positive and negative, intended and unintended consequences. Key among them is the exclusion of individuals—who lack access to technological resources—from various societal processes and services. The theme of this book, social inclusion, explores the many dimensions of this exclusion. This issue has been the focus of much debate within the
