Overview: Includes supplementary material: Im Fokus dieser Arbeit stehen Prozesse der Rollen- und Wissensaushandlungen von SchülerInnen und Lehrpersonen im schulischen Unterricht unter Nutzung digitaler Medien. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie sich deren interaktionale Strategien auf die Aneignung, den Austausch und die (Ko-)Konstruktion von Wissen auswirken und wie die Integration digitaler Medien in den Unterricht die sozialen Wissensmanagementprozesse bedingt. Datengrundlage bilden Interviews mit Lehrpersonen und SchülerInnen sowie Videoaufnahmen innovativer mediengestützter Unterrichtsp

Overview: Challenging our understanding of ideas about psychology in Shakespeare‘s time, Shakespeare‘s Imagined Persons proposes we should view his characters as imagined persons. A new reading of B.F. Skinner‘s radical behaviourism brings out how - contrary to the impression he created - Skinner ascribes an important role in human behaviour to cognitive activity. Using this analysis, Peter Murray demonstrates the consistency of radical behaviourism with the psychology of character formation and acting in writers from Plato to Shakespeare - an approach little explored in the current debates ab

Overview: Authored by a leading specialist in the field.Comprehensive coverage of the subject matter.Contains detailed derivations.This book is about the structure of multielectron atoms and predominantly adopts a perturbative approach to the total Hamiltonian. A key concept is the central-field approximation and, beyond the standard .LS.-coupling and .jj.-coupling schemes, intermediate cases are also treated. After that, the book covers hyperfine structure and other nuclear effects, as well as interactions with static external fields. Throughout the book, an analytical approach is adopted...

Overview: Psychowissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Wünschen sich unverheiratete Eltern in Deutschland die gemeinsame elterliche Sorge, so müssen sie heiraten oder Sorgeerklärungen zur Erlangung der gemeinsamen Sorge abgeben. Dem rechtlichen Begriff der gemeinsamen Sorge stellt Alexandra N. Langmeyer in der vorliegenden Studie das psychologische Pendant der elterlichen Zusammenarbeit in der Erziehung gegenüber, die in den letzten Jahren zunehmend unter dem Begriff des elterlichen Coparenting in der Familienforschung berücksichtigt wird. Anhand von drei Teilstudien wird au

Overview: Presents the methodology of SSA.Shows how to use SSA both safely and with maximum effect.For professional statisticians, econometricians and specialists in any discipline.For students taking courses oSingular spectrum analysis (SSA) is a technique of time series analysis and forecasting combining elements of classical time series analysis, multivariate statistics, multivariate geometry, dynamical systems and signal processing. SSA seeks to decompose the original series into a sum of a small number of interpretable components such as trend, oscillatory components and noise. It is base

Overview: It is probably an overstatement to say that the discipline of telecommunication systems is becoming an application of digital signal processing (DSP). However, there is no doubt that by the mid-I980s integrated circuit technology has advanced to such an extent that revolutionary advances in telecommunications are fostered by the introduction of new and poweiful DSP algorithms. Actually, DSP has been recently playing a major role in the development of telecommuni­ cations systems: to name just one of the most widespread applications where this interaction has been most effective, we m

Overview: The aim of this book is to present a rigorous phenomenological and mathematical formulation of sedimentation processes and to show how this theory can be applied to the design and control of continuous thickeners. The book is directed to stu­ dents and researchers in applied mathematics and engineering sciences, especially in metallurgical, chemical, mechanical and civil engineering, and to practicing en­ gineers in the process industries. Such a vast and diverse audience should read this book differently. For this reason we have organized the chapters in such a way that the book can

Overview: This book is intended to provide a fundamental basis for the study of the interaction of polymers with living systems, biochemicals, and with aqueous solutions. The surface chemistry and physics of polymeric materials is a subject not normally covered to any significant extent in classical surface chemistry textbooks. Many of the assumptions of classical surface chemistry are invalid when applied to polymer surfaces. Surface properties of polymers are important in the development of medical devices and diagnostic products. Surface properties are also of vital importance in fields suc
