Overview: Mammalian sociobiology is a rapidly advancing field which has made enormous strides in the last ten years. The last major monograph on the subject (Ewer, 1968) was published sixteen years ago, and there is a need for this information to be examined in terms of modern sociobiological theory. My approach throughout is evolutionary and is therefore directed strongly towards research which throws light on the ways in which mammals behave in their natural environments. I have tried to cover as wide a range of mammalian species as possible, although, in some cases, the only data available

Overview: Discusses the relevant, unsolved practical problem of addressing the Bottom of the Pyramid in Africa with a scientific approach.Shows how business can support economic development in Africa.Derives su.This book presents an empirical investigation of the efforts that multinational pharmaceutical companies take in order to find a business model that allows for a profitable access to the Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) markets. The Bottom of the Pyramid in Africa is frequently mentioned as an attractive market due to its sheer size. Yet most companies struggle to access it because of the lo

Overview: Pat Carlen‘s compelling and compassionate analysis of the penal control of women at the end of the twentieth century is based on new research completed in 1997. She develops many of the themes of previous work, while introducing new concepts such as ‘gender-testing‘, and ‘ameliorative justice‘. Skilfully and vividly presenting the words and views of both staff and inmates of the women‘s prisons, Carlen presents a powerful case for both a quantitative and qualitative reduction in women‘s imprisonment.978-0-333-74606-6978-0-230-37535-2

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-98608-6978-3-642-99423-4

Overview: Explains basic and advanced spine surgeries.Based on European spine surgery training curriculum.Provides a case-based approach to aid learning.This book covers the content of European postgraduate spine surgery courses, using a case-based approach. It describes a stepwise solution to a real-world clinical problem and compares this with the best available evidence. It then provides suggestions on how to bridge the gap (if there is one) between standard of care and evidence-based medicine.. .Spine Surgery: A Case-Based Approach. is aimed at postgraduate students of spine surgery (both

Overview: Includes well-illustrated chapters for easy understanding of methodologies.Provides the most recent research in the area of soft-computing analysis.Discusses how the insights from various computationaThis book explains how the biological systems and their functions are driven by genetic information stored in the DNA, and their expression driven by different factors. The soft computing approach recognizes the different patterns in DNA sequence and try to assign the biological relevance with available information.The book also focuses on using the soft-computing approach to predict pro

Overview: Bedingt durch ein zunehmend an der Maximierung des Unternehmenswertes und der Pflege von Geschäftsbeziehungen ausgerichtetes Management hat sich die Kundenbindung in den letzten Jahren als bedeutsames Konzept in der strategischen Unternehmensführung etabliert...Matthias S. G. Feistel entwickelt ein ganzheitliches, branchenübergreifendes Kundenbindungsmodell, welches sowohl auf der bestehenden Kundenbindungstheorie als auch auf empirisch nachgewiesenen Partialmodellen aufbaut. Der Autor testet das Modell der Wirkungszusammenhänge mit Daten aus der Mineralölindustrie unter Anwendung ei

Overview: Neatly presents efficient domain decomposition methods and a comprehensive description of parallel implementation.Describes finite and boundary element domain decomposition methods in a unified form.CThis book presents a comprehensive treatment of recently developed scalable algorithms for solving multibody contact problems of linear elasticity. The brand-new feature of these algorithms is their theoretically supported numerical scalability (i.e., asymptotically linear complexity) and parallel scalability demonstrated in solving problems discretized by billions of degrees of freedom.

Overview: In these lecture notes which grew out of my lectures at the Honours classes of Honash University, I have attempted to develop queueing and storage problems from a unified viewpoint. It has been recognized a decade ago that many of the queueing and storage problems belong to the same family of stochastic processes; so a problem in storage theory may bave an analogue in a queueing situation and vice versa. In my notes I have highlighted this aspect and tried to develop a broad perspective in a student rather than to work out in detail the various e~rcises in queueing and inventory prob

Overview: Alles über die zivilgesellschaftlichen Standpunkte in den 1990er und 2000er Jahren.Guter Überblick über die unterschiedlichen Positionen.Alle relevanten AutorInnen werden diskutiertDas Jahr 1998 markierte eine Zäsur in der bundesrepublikanischen Gesellschaftspolitik. Mit dem Ende der Kohl-Ära wurde der Weg frei, neu über eine „zivile Bürgergesellschaft“ (Gerhard Schröder) nachzudenken. Die Enquetekommission „Bürgerschaftliches Engagement“ des Deutschen Bundestages arbeitete heraus, wie eine „zukunftsfähige Bürgergesellschaft“ gelingen könnte. In ihren Bericht flossen alle zentralen P
