Overview: Represents the latest ideas from world leading philosopher Luce Irigaray.Returns to Irigaray‘s lifelong passion of dialoguing with Hegel.Explores the dialectics of sensitivity, sensuousness and the phWhilst he broaches the theme of the difference between the sexes, Hegel does not go deep enough into the question of their mutual desire as a crucial stage in our becoming truly human. He ignores the dialectical process regarding sensitivity and sensuousness. And yet this is needed to make spiritual the relation between two human subjectivities differently determined by nature and to ens

Overview: This book argues that the war on terror is a paradigmatic foreign policy that has had profound effects on domestic social order. Cameron develops an original framework which inverts the traditional analysis of foreign policy in order to interpret its impact upon subject formation through everyday practises of security and social regulation.978-1-349-44565-3978-1-137-27436-6Series ISSN 2731-0329 Series E-ISSN 2731-0337

Overview: The third part of the book includes three new chapters dedicated to applications.New chapters are devoted to an in depth analysis of the Knapsack problem.Second edition provides comprehensive coverage.In this book, the theory, methods and applications of separable optimization are considered. Some general results are presented, techniques of approximating the separable problem by linear programming problem, and dynamic programming are also studied. Convex separable programs subject to inequality/ equality constraint(s) and bounds on variables are also studied and convergent iterative

Overview: Aquatic sediments are important sinks of inorganic and organic pollutants as well as of nutrients in highly industrialized and densely populated areas. As many aquatic organisms live in or on the sediments, polluted sediments provide a pathway for the chemicals to food-chain organisms, and finally to man. Sediment-water interactions play a fundamental role in biogeochemical cycling of the elements. One of the most important reactions is the mineralization of organic matter during early diagenesis, which not only leads to anoxic conditions connected with a recycling of nitrate, phosph

Overview: Eine wissenschaftlich-technische StudieRick Voßwinkel stellt numerische und algebraische Ansätze vor, um lineare und nichtlineare Systeme auf konstruktive Weise zu untersuchen sowie systematisch Regler zu entwerfen. Den Ausgangspunkt stellt dabei Lyapunov‘s direkte Methode dar. Lyapunov-Methoden sind im nichtlinearen Fall nicht systematisch, da sie lediglich hinreichende Bedingungen liefern. Dieser Konservatismus wird mit Ansätzen der Quadratsummenzerlegung und Quantorenelimination minimiert. Konkret werden asymptotische Stabilität und (inkrementelle) Eingangs-Zustands-Stabilität, so

Overview: Outlines three case studies of political violence in Mexico to show how semantics shape public debate.Provides an important contribution to civil sphere theory, particularly with respect to Latin AmerThis book describes three impactful cases of political violence that broke out in Mexico in 1994, pointing to an important juncture in Mexican political development. At that point, the patrimonial order centered on the PRI and the Mexican presidency entered a momentous crisis that is still ongoing after a quarter of a century and caused the patrimonial order and the civil order to compet

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by Hokkaido University.Demonstrates the use of solar energy to activate and convert methane at low temperatures.Reports direct photooxidation of methane to liqThis book demonstrates that solar energy, the most abundant and clean renewable energy, can be utilized to drive methane activation and conversion under mild conditions. The book reports that coupling solar energy and thermal energy can significantly enhance methane conversion at mild temperatures using plasmonic nanometal-based catalysts, with a substantial decrease in apparent activati

Overview: A must-read for scholars of visuality, gender and sexuality. Denisoff‘s study explores the ways in which gothic, sensation and noir literature and cinema manipulated common notions of the visual in order to challenge sex- and gender-based assumptions that marginalized certain people and desires. Addressing authors and directors such as Mary Braddon, Wilkie Collins, Oscar Wilde, Vernon Lee, Virigina Woolf, Daphne du Maurier, Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger and Fritz Lang, this study shows that what a society gets is often what it tries hardest not to see.978-0-230-28787-7Series ISSN

Overview: Fiir die Entwicklung von Unternehmen sind Investitionsentscheidungen von besonderer Bedeutung. Investitionen binden Kapital und legen viele zukünftige unternehmerische Aktivitäten fest. Die Planung von Investitionsentscheidungen sollte daher besonders sorgfältig und umfassend sein. Quantitative wie auch qualitative Methoden können sich dabei ergänzend unterstützen. Kurz- und langfristige Betrachtungen sollten durchgeführt werden und nicht nur der Aspekt, was getan werden soll, sollte untersucht werden, sondern auch der Aspekt, wie ein Ziel erreicht werden kann. Diese Problematik, wie
