Overview: Soviet power rests on two main supports: the comp1ete economic dependence of the citizens upon the state and the unlimited politi­ cal control of the government over the economic, social and even cultural life. History knows various kinds of despotisms, dicta­ torships and regimentations of economic activity, but the U .S.S.R. represents a unique kind of dictatorship based on the one­ party system and integral planning with the specific goal of realization of communism. Mankind had never before known such a system. Even the best of possible comparisons, the ana­ logy with the period

Overview: Seeds provide more than half of the world‘s intake of dietary protein and energy and thus are of immense economic, cultural and nutritional importance. Proteins can account for up to 40% of the dry weight of various types of seeds, thereby making a large contribution to the nutritional quality and processing properties of seeds. It is, therefore, not surprising that seed proteins were among the first plant components to be systematically studied, some 250 years ago, and have been a major focus of research over the past 100 years. The properties and behaviour of seed proteins pervade

Overview: This volume contains the proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems (SSS), held November 21–23, 2008 in Detroit, Michigan USA.

Overview: An intelligent agent interacting with the real world will encounter individual people, courses, test results, drugs prescriptions, chairs, boxes, etc., and needs to reason about properties of these individuals and relations among them as well as cope with uncertainty. Uncertainty has been studied in probability theory and graphical models, and relations have been studied in logic, in particular in the predicate calculus and its extensions. This book examines the foundations of combining logic and probability into what are called relational probabilistic models. It introduces represen

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Kerstin Botsch untersucht, inwiefern die Öffnung der Bundeswehr für Frauen und Homosexuelle zu Beginn der 2000er Jahre eine Veränderung in der „Männerbastion“ Militär bewirkt hat. Auf der Grundlage von Gruppendiskussionen und Einzelinterviews belegt sie, wie Soldatinnen und Soldaten das Militär auch heute noch als durch und durch männliche Domäne konstruieren. Dies zeigt sich insbesondere in der Orientierung am Symbol des „Kampfsoldaten“, das untrennbar mit militärischen Kernbereichen verknüpft ist. Die Autorin untersuch

Overview: This book is based on research that, to a large extent, started around 1990, when a research project on fluid flow in stochastic reservoirs was initiated by a group including some of us with the support of VISTA, a research coopera­ tion between the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters and Den norske stats oljeselskap A.S. (Statoil). The purpose of the project was to use stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) to describe the flow of fluid in a medium where some of the parameters, e.g., the permeability, were stochastic or "noisy". We soon realized that the theory of SP
