Overview: Original island/archipelago case study from the global north, which complements the present focus on tropical atoll islands.Empirical case study research with a mixed methods quantitative/qualitative .The book deals with the role of social capital regarding its potential to increase small islands’ adaptive capacity to climate change. The case study of the Isles of Scilly, UK, shows how social structures can play a very important role for climate change adaptation. It is argued that social features have to be understood in a non-deterministic and potentially ambivalent manner, accordi

Overview: The book argues that the concept of self-defense in Islamic and International law is compatible. Al-Qaeda‘s declaration of Jihad does not meet the Islamic legal test. Similarly, the invasion of Iraq does meet the international legal test.978-1-349-37345-1978-0-230-61165-8

Overview: Shows the usage of simulations for all processes in the systems design.Includes many examples from industrial applications and small satellites’ research.Includes supplementary material: Satellite development worldwide has significantly changed within the last decade and has been accelerated and optimized by modern simulation tools. The classic method of developing and testing several models of a satellite and its subsystems with the aim to build a pre-flight and finally a flight model is being replaced more and more by a considerably faster and more inexpensive method. The new appro

Overview: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of three joint events - the International Workshop on Software Measurement, IWSM 2008, the DASMA Metrik Kongress, Metrikon 2008, and the International Conference on Software Process and Product Measurement, Mensura 2008, held in Munich, Germany, in November 2008. The 30 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from over 50 submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on estimation models, measurement methodology, effort estimation, measurement programs, new approaches, proz

Overview: Presents the latest research in the field of soft computing.Investigates potential applications employing recent advances.Encourages practitioners/researchers to enhance their problem-solving abilitieThis two-volume book presents the outcomes of the 8th International Conference on Soft Computing for Problem Solving, SocProS 2018. This conference was a joint technical collaboration between the Soft Computing Research Society, Liverpool Hope University (UK), and Vellore Institute of Technology (India), and brought together researchers, engineers and practitioners to discuss thought-pro

Overview: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Search-Based Software Engineering, SSBSE 2019, held in Tallinn, Estonia, in August/September 2019. The 9 research papers and 3 short papers presented together with 1 keynote  and 1 challenge paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 28 submissions. SSBSE is a research area focused on the formulation of software engineering problems as search problems, and the subsequent use of complex heuristic techniques to attain optimal solutions to such problems. A wealth of engineering challenges - from t

Overview: A manual with DVDs that covers all aspects of congenital heart surgery.Presents the surgical approach and technique for each heart defect by means of high-quality, instructive video clips.Video clips Approximately 120 different surgical procedures are used to correct congenital heart diseases, and the burden that this places on the surgeon is compounded by the exceptional complexity of the techniques and the rarity of many of the lesions. Training is problematic, not least because of legal issues, and currently available texts, drawings and images are no substitute for real ‘live’ su

Overview: Addresses modelling issues and numerical methods for developing highly parallel computations of multiphase flows.Provides an overview of numerical methods devoted to resolved scale interfacial and par.The book provides basic and recent research insights concerning the small scale modeling and simulation of turbulent multi-phase flows. By small scale, it has to be understood that the grid size for the simulation is smaller than most of the physical time and space scales of the problem. Small scale modeling of multi-phase flows is a very popular topic since the capabilities of massivel

Overview: Consultation is an indirect model of delivering psychological services. Within this model, a consultant and caregiver (consultee) work together to optimize the functioning of a client in the caregiver‘s setting and to increase the caregiver‘s capacity to deal with similar situations in the future. In schools, for example, a psychologist may consult with a teacher about a student in the teacher‘s classroom. The practice of school consultation has burgeoned since its formal introduction into public education during the 1960s. Today, graduate training programs in various specialties of
