Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Infolge verbesserter diagnostischer und therapeutischer Möglichkeiten und der Zunahme der durchschnittlichen Lebenserwartung steigt die Zahl der Patienten mit terminaler Herzinsuffizienz weltweit dramatisch an. Die Herztransplantation als etablierte Therapie allein ist nicht in der Lage, dies zu kompensieren. Daher besteht die dringende Notwendigkeit, neue Behandlungsstrategien zu entwickeln...Mit den heute zur Verfügung stehenden Unterstützungssystemen stehen wir an der Grenze zwischen "bridge-to-transplant" und "chronical support".

Overview: Gustav Jahoda University of Strathclyde Ever since psychology emerged as a separate discipline about a century ago, there have been differing views as to what it is or ought to be. Some, like Ebbinghaus, saw it as a budding natural science, experimental and quantitative. Others, like Dilthey, regarded psychology in the main as a humane field of study, historical and interpretative in character. The dichotomy of "explaining" versus "understanding" has been a subject of debate ever since. Regrettably, most of the protagonists of these respec­ tive positions tend to view them as mutuall

Overview: Addresses some of the deepest questions in all of physics.Describes how other areas of physics are influenced by our choice of spacetime description.Substantial contributions provide overviews for newThis volume is dedicated to the centennial anniversary of Minkowski‘s discovery of spacetime. It contains selected papers by physicists and philosophers on the Nature and Ontology of Spacetime.

Overview: Offers a coherent narrative of Schelling’s reception spanning the entire period of the nineteenth-century for the first time.Demonstrates the central importance of Schelling throughout the British litThis book examines the various ways in which the German philosopher Friedrich Schelling was read and responded to by British readers and writers during the nineteenth century. Challenging the idea that Schelling’s reception was limited to the Romantics, this book shows the ways in which his thought continued to be engaged with across the whole period. It follows Schelling’s reception bot

Overview: Das Standardwerk in aktualisierter Auflage.Theoretische und empirische Befunde.Für Studierende und Lehrende aller Sozialwissenschaften geeignet.In dieser Einführung in die Sozialstrukturanalyse wird zum einen grundlegend nach den Ursachen sozialer Differenzierung und der relativen Stabilität von Ungleichheitsstrukturen gefragt.

Overview: Summarizes a decade of works by the knowledge engineering and software engineering community.Is a memorial volume compiling thirteen intriguing contributions closely related to knowledge engineering a.This book compiles a number of contributions originating from the KESE (Knowledge Engineering and Software Engineering) workshop series from 2005 to 2015. The idea behind the series was the realignment of the knowledge engineering discipline and its strong relation to software engineering, as well as to the classical aspects of artificial intelligence research. The book introduces symbi

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding PhD Thesis by the University of California, Irvine.Begins with an accessible introduction to optimal mass transport.Presents a geometric framework to quantify the performan.This thesis advances our understanding of how thermal anisotropy can be exploited to extract work through a mechanism that is quite distinct from the classical Carnot heat engine. Anisotropy, the presence of thermal or chemical gradients, is ubiquitous in the real world and powers the cascade of processes that sustain life. The thesis quantifies, for the first time, the maximum amount o

Overview: .Constraint satisfaction and constraint programming have shown to be very simple but powerful ideas, with applications in various areas. Still, in the last ten years, the simple notion of constraints has shown some deficiencies concerning both theory and practice, typically in the way over-constrained problems and preferences are treated. For this reason, the notion of soft constraints has been introduced with semiring-based soft constraints and valued constraints being the two main general frameworks...This book includes formal definitions and properties of semiring-based soft const
