So there is a growing need to update the scientific community on the important events in research and development since then. The

Overview: IN view of the growing interest in spectroscopy at radio and micro­ wave frequencies, and the increasing number of its applications to both physics and chemistry, it was thought that a general outline of the subject for non-specialists might be of some value. Research in this field is still expanding, but is now sufficiently developed for a critical review to be made both of its main applications and of the techniques that are used in this wavelength region. A broad approach has been taken, and the similarity and inter­ relation of the different branches have been stressed, as well a

Overview: First book with a comprehensive coverage of soft computing methods in various risk-related problems.Presentation of new conceptual frameworks and new, sometimes less known tools and techniques.IncludeRisk is a crucial element in virtually all problems people in diverse areas face in their activities. It is impossible to find adequate models and solutions without taking it into account. Due to uncertainty and complexity in those problems, traditional "hard" tools and techniques may be insufficient for their formulation and solution. .This is the first book in the literature that shows

Overview: Presents insights from a range of leading contributors that are uniquely positioned at the intersection of social work and urban studies.Provokes debate about how the profession of social work is adapThis book critically explores ways of thinking about the city and its relevance for the profession of social work. It provides a colourful illustration of practice drawing on examples of social work responses to a range of issues emerging from the unprecedented scale, density and pace of change in cities. The associated challenges posed for social work include: the increased segregation

Overview: This is the most comprehensive and advanced book in the field of quantum dots.Includes supplementary material: Semiconductor quantum dots represent one of the fields of solid state physics that have experienced the greatest progress in the last decade. Recent years have witnessed the discovery of many striking new aspects of the optical response and electronic transport phenomena. This book surveys this progress in the physics, optical spectroscopy and application-oriented research of semiconductor quantum dots. It focuses especially on excitons, multi-excitons, their dynamical relax

Overview: The fifteen papers comprising this book were chosen out of the sixty-one contributions to the Symposium and Section on Social Systems held in the context of the Fourth International Congress of Cybernetics and Systems (Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 21-25 August, 1978). These papers, as­ sembled here on the basis of their topicality, depth and originality, cover a wide range of problems, ranging from ‘Societies and Turing machines‘ to ‘Dialectics and catastrophe‘. An interesting array of themes is considered by authors from six countries. It is felt that these papers, some of them thoug

A distinguished international group of authors has contributed to the volume.978-3-662-15690-2978-3-7985-1682-3Series ISSN 0340-255X Series E-ISSN 1437-8027

Overview: .Social media platforms are the latest manifestation in a series of sociotechnical innovations designed to enhance civic engagement, political participation, and global activism. While many researchers started out as optimists about the promise of social media for broadening participation and enhancing civic engagement, recent events have tempered that optimism. As this book goes to press, Facebook is fighting a battle over the massive disclosure of user information during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, social analytics company Cambridge Analytica is being revealed as a major p
