Overview: Positionen und Kontroversen.Während der Begriff „Soziale Arbeit“ in der Regel für die inhaltliche und strukturelle Einheit sozialpädagogischer und sozialarbeiterischer Praxis steht, führen Fragen nach der disziplinären Zuständigkeit einer „Sozialen Arbeit als Wissenschaft“ zu vielerlei Kontroversen. Vor allem die in den 1990er Jahren geführten Diskussionen um eine neue, autonome „Sozialarbeitswissenschaft“ spiegeln die Ambivalenzen im wissenschaftlichen Selbstvergewisserungsprozess Sozialer Arbeit wider. Die daraus resultierenden Konfliktlinien zwischen der Sozialpädagogik und der So

Overview: .Il volume si propone lo scopo di fornire al lettore i concetti fisici fondamentali che stanno alla base della spettroscopia atomica e dei processi di emissione e assorbimento della radiazione nei plasmi di laboratorio e astrofisici, coprendo argomenti fondamentali quali gli spettri atomici di atomi a uno o più elettroni, la quantizzazione del campo elettromagnetico, l‘interazione fra materia e radiazione (trattata sia dal punto di vista classico che quantistico), le transizioni radiative, i fenomeni di equilibrio e non-equilibrio nei plasmi, la teoria del trasporto radiativo, l‘emis

Overview: It is difficult for me to forget the mild sense of betrayal I felt some ten years ago when I discovered, with considerable dismay, that my two favorite books on linear system theory - Desoer‘s Notes for a Second Course on Linear Systems and Brockett‘s Finite Dimensional Linear Systems - were both out of print. Since that time, of course, linear system theory has undergone a transformation of the sort which always attends the maturation of a theory whose range of applicability is expanding in a fashion governed by technological developments and by the rate at which such advances becom

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Security Protocols held in Cambridge, UK in April 1998..The 15 revised papers presented as position statements are followed by transcripts of the discussions between the authors and the audience. Also included is a report on the final panel discussion on future directions in security protocols research and developments. Thus the volume reflects the lively interaction at the workshop. The papers are devoted to the interrelations between trust an

Overview: Containing the most recently obtained consensus on the pathological, clinical diagnosis of superficial esophageal neoplasmThis book, containing the proceedings of the 2000 Kyoto Symposium on Esophageal Cancer, is an important contribution for all types of physicians interested in both squamous and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus.

Overview: Other books in this series focus on behavior at the individual level, approached from the viewpoints of biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, and psychology. In this volume we show how the functioning nervous systems of interacting individuals are coordinated, with the ultimate creation of complex social structures. The intri­ cacies of an individual‘s nervous system have been subject to intense inquiry, and research at the chemical, cellular, and organ levels has made remarkable progress. Work at the social level has been conducted somewhat independently, by way of behavioral phenomena

Overview: There are a number of reasons for producing this edition of Simili­ tude and Approximation Theory. The methodologies developed remain important in many areas of technical work. No other equivalent work has appeared in the two decades since the publication of the first edition. The materials still provide an important increase in understanding for first-year graduate students in engineering and for workers in research and development at an equivalent level. In addition, consulting experiences in a number of industries indi­ cate that many technical workers in research and development

Overview: This book aims to present to first and second year graduate students a beautiful and relatively accessible field of mathematics-the theory of singu­ larities of stable differentiable mappings. The study of stable singularities is based on the now classical theories of Hassler Whitney, who determined the generic singularities (or lack of them) of Rn ~ Rm (m ~ 2n - 1) and R2 ~ R2, and Marston Morse, for mappings who studied these singularities for Rn ~ R. It was Rene Thorn who noticed (in the late ‘50‘s) that all of these results could be incorporated into one theory. The 1960 Bonn not
