Overview: Although there is an abundance of highly specialized monographs, learned collections and general introductions to the philosophy of science, only a few 25 years. synthetic monographs and advanced textbooks have appeared in the last The philosophy of science seems to have lost its self-confidence. The main reason for such a loss is that the traditional analytical, logical-empiricist approaches to the philosophy of science had to make a number of concessions, especially in response to the work of Popper, Kuhn and Lakatos. With Structures in Science I intend to present both a synthetic

Overview: This text introduces the reader to the study of sociology by using gender as the organising theme. Each of the fundamental elements of the sociological approach to society is uniquely presented in such a way that gender is a central focus in each substantive area.

Overview: Gives a unifying up-to-date approach to configurational mechanics.Introduces material forces in a dissipation-consistent approach.Includes detailed derivations of general importance in continuum mecha.This monograph details spatial and material vistas on non-linear continuum mechanics in a dissipation-consistent approach. Thereby, the spatial vista renders the common approach to nonlinear continuum mechanics and corresponding spatial forces, whereas the material vista elaborates on configurational mechanics and corresponding material or rather configurational forces. Fundamental to c

Overview: From the reviews to the first edition:Most of the literature about stochastic differentialequations seems to place so much emphasis on rigorandcompleteness that it scares the nonexperts away. These notesare an attempt to approach the subject from the nonexpertpoint of view.: Notknowing anything ... about a subject tostart with, what would I like toknow first of all. Myanswer would be: 1) In what situations does the subjectarise ? 2) What are its essential features? 3) What are theapplications and the connections to other fields?" Theauthor, alucid mind with a fine pedagocical instinc

Overview: Surface organometallic chemistry is a new field bringing together researchers from organometallic, inorganic, and surface chemistry and catalysis. Topics ranging from reaction mechanisms to catalyst preparation are considered from a molecular basis, according to which the "active site" on a catalyst surface has a supra-molecular character. This. the first book on the subject, is the outcome of a NATO Workshop held in Le Rouret. France, in May. 1986. It is our hope that the following chapters and the concluding summary of recommendations for research may help to provide a definition o

Overview: Stochastische Simulationen in Theorie und PraxisDer Zufall in Gestalt von unvorhersehbaren Risiken und Chancen spielt seit jeher eine große Rolle bei vielen Entscheidungen in Wirtschaftsleben, Technik und Wissenschaft. Zufällige E- ?ussfaktoren müssen deshalb auch in die formalen Modelle aufgenommen werden, mit denen heutzutage komplexe Systeme geplant, gesteuert und optimiert werden. Früher reichte es - bei oft, zufallsbehaftete Größen durch ihre Mittelwerte zu modellieren. Für die Genauigkeit, die heutzutage von Modellen etwa für Prozesse in Produktion und Logistik verlangt wird, m

Overview: Über die Entstehung eines neuen sozialen ProblemsMichael Schetsche und Renate-Berenike Schmidt Unterwegs im Bermuda-Dreieck von Sexualverhalten, Sexualmoral und sexueller Sozialisation Wenn man dem Buchtitel folgt, handelt dieser Sammelband von ‚sexueller Verwa- losung‘ – was immer dies auch genau heißen mag. Mit dieser Eingangsbemerkung ist bereits eine erste Problemlage markiert: Der dem Buch den Titel gebende Begriff ist voraussetzungsreich, er ist mehrdeutig, moralisch wertend – und er ist, aus 1 wissenschaftlicher wie aus lebensweltlicher Sicht, alles andere selbsterklärend .

Overview: The study of the ocean is almost as old as the history of mankind itself. When the first seafarers set out in their primitive ships they had to understand, as best they could, tides and currents, eddies and vortices, for lack of understanding often led to loss of live. These primitive oceanographers were, of course, primarily statisticians. They collected what empirical data they could, and passed it down, ini­ tially by word of mouth, to their descendants. Data collection continued throughout the millenia, and although data bases became larger, more re­ liable, and better codified,

Overview: Semi-infinite programming (briefly: SIP) is an exciting part of mathematical programming. SIP problems include finitely many variables and, in contrast to finite optimization problems, infinitely many inequality constraints. Prob­ lems of this type naturally arise in approximation theory, optimal control, and at numerous engineering applications where the model contains at least one inequality constraint for each value of a parameter and the parameter, repre­ senting time, space, frequency etc., varies in a given domain. The treatment of such problems requires particular theoretical

Overview: Comprehensively analyzes nation-building and democratization of the former Yugoslav republics.Presents a theoretical framework generally useful for cases of democratization.Examines‘the simultaneous p.This book argues that the unresolved stateness in the republics of the former Yugoslavia played a key role in determining the course and dynamics of their turbulent democratic transition. To support this claim, the authors develop a series of causal mechanisms. Subsequently, they analyze to what extent these causal mechanisms could be applied to other cases, like the one of Ukraine’s de

Overview: Introduces new approaches to some of the key issues in SFM, including technical developments and participatory processes.Draws together a range of issues facing SFM from biological, social and economiYet another book on the topic of ‘Sustainable Forest Management’ can only be justified by new information that is of direct relevance. The contents of this volume concentrate on the very latest factors and developments, thus, hopefully, contributing both to the book’s attractiveness and to closing gaps in the discipline’s database. This book is written for researchers in the field of for

Overview: Zu den soziologischen Implikationen der Visuellen Kommunikation.Grundlegende Einführung in einen neuen Gegenstandsbereich.Umfassend und präziseDie Relevanz visueller Kommunikation in der Gegenwartsgesellschaft steht außer Frage. Im Zuge von Modernisierungsprozessen wie der Industrialisierung, der Entwicklung technischer Bildmedien oder der Computerisierung werden Artefakte und ihre visuellen Bedeutungen in sämtlichen Gesellschaftsbereichen wichtiger. Trotz der Forderung eines „visual“, „iconic“ oder „pictorial turn“ fehlt es bislang weitgehend an Entwürfen einer allgemeinen Soziologi

Overview: .Misinformation and disinformation have emerged as paramount societal challenges, affecting areas from public health to climate change and eroding both social understanding and democratic values. Enter the political fact-checkers: stalwart defenders of accurate public information and guardians of robust public discourse. What began as an endeavor to verify political claims in the U.S. has transformed into a global movement addressing diverse forms of public information, harnessing innovative tech tools, championing media literacy, and exploring governance solutions. Who are these fac

Overview: Where do you begin to look for a recent, authoritative article on the diagnosis or management of a particular malignancy? The few general oncology textbooks are generally out of date. Single papers in specialized journals are informative, but seldom comprehensive; these are more often preliminary reports on a very limited number of patients. Certain general journals frequently publish good in-depth reviews of cancer topics, and published symposium lectures are often the best overviews available. Unfor­ tunately, these reviews and supplements appear sporadically, and the reader can ne

Overview: Proposes innovative approaches to challenging and resisting sexism in the academy.Explores diverse and intersectional perspectives to outline tools for resistance that can be deployed by individuals aThis book harnesses the expertise of women academics who have constructed innovative approaches to challenging existing sexual disadvantage in the academy. Countering the prevailing postfeminist discourse, the contributors to this volume argue that sexism needs to be named in order to be challenged and resisted. Exploring a complex, intersectional and diverse arrangement of resistance st
