Overview: Traditionally, France has been viewed as host to a unique set of tensions between the centre and the periphery, dating back to the Revolution and beyond, which has shaped its structures of power and marked its evolution as a modern society. This survey provides a fresh overview of those tensions between a centralising state and the constituencies challenging it, and asks whether that model can remain viable or whether it is not, in fact, undergoing a process of profound change.978-0-333-98364-5

The field became popular among researchers of the terrestrial environment using natural sources of electromagnetic radiation—lightning strokes, primarily—and now many Schumann observatories have been established around the world. A huge number of publications can be found in the literature, the most recent collection of wh

Overview: DR. R. E. SMITH The first and second Coventry conferences on "Surgery of the Oesophagus" and "Surgery of the Lung" were arranged by Mr. Roger Abbey Smith, and they were so successful that he asked his colleague, Mr. J. A. Dyde to arrange one on "Surgery of the Heart." He willingly accepted this task and has also been joint Editor. This book reproduces as faithfully as possible the papers and the discussion on the various subjects included in the Coventry conference. The simple title "Surgery of the Heart" could be expanded to include the blood vessels. Especially important is the ana

Overview: Explores how science culture can be alienating to marginalized people.Discusses how to present science education clearly and accessibly.Presents findings related to the education of both children and .Can the culture and language of science be an alienating force that discourages marginalized people from identifying with scientists and pursuing higher education in the sciences? More broadly, does an education system which unwittingly presents science as a distinct culture result in a population susceptible to doubt, confusion, and denial? This volume explores how this ‘culture of sci

Overview: A distinguished roster of contributors considers the state ofthe art of the field at the turn of the 21st century and charts anambitious agenda for the future. Following what the editors describeas an `evolutionist‘ approach to the study of labor markets, thechapters address issues of continuity and discontinuity in a widerange of topics including: markets and institutional structures;employment relations and work structures; patterns of stratificationin the United States; and public policies, opportunity structures, andeconomic outcomes.978-1-4613-5449-9978-1-4615-1225-7

Overview: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Software Language Engineering, SLE 2014, held in Västerås, Sweden, in September 2014. The 19 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 61 initial submissions. The papers observe software languages from different and yet complementary perspectives: programming languages, model driven engineering, domain specific languages, semantic web, and from different technological spaces: context-free grammars, object-oriented modeling frameworks, rich

Overview: In this book, we consider the problem of achieving the maximum throughput and utility in a class of networks with resource-sharing constraints. This is a classical problem of great importance. In the context of wireless networks, we first propose a fully distributed scheduling algorithm that achieves the maximum throughput. Inspired by CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access), which is widely deployed in today‘s wireless networks, our algorithm is simple, asynchronous, and easy to implement. Second, using a novel maximal-entropy technique, we combine the CSMA scheduling algorithm with co

Overview: This volume contains the proceedings of an international conference on Shocks in Astrophysics held at UMIST, Manchester, England from January 9-12, 1995. The study of interstellar and circumstellar gas dynamics has a long and distinguished history in Manchester and has been almost entirely concentrated in the school founded by Franz Kahn in the Astronomy Department, University of Manchester. In January 1993, one of us (AR) was appointed to the faculty of the Astrophysics Group in the Department of Mathematics at UMIST and astrophysical gas dynam­ ics became a major interest of the Gr

Overview: Ein unterhaltsamer, mathematischer Einstieg in die SpieltheorieBlödem Volke unverständlich treiben wir des Lebens Spiel. Gerade das, was unabwendlich, fruchtet unserm Spott als Ziel.
