Overview: Self-contained course-based graduate text.Contains many exercices and worked examples.Authored by an expert in the field.Includes supplementary material: This concise set of course-based notes provides the reader with the main concepts and tools to perform statistical analysis of experimental data, in particular in the field of high-energy physics (HEP). First, an introduction to probability theory and basic statistics is given, mainly as reminder from advanced undergraduate studies, yet also in view to clearly distinguish the Frequentist versus Bayesian approaches and interpretation

Overview: New standards of corporate behaviour have been established in developed countries, obliging them to record information about the ‘triple bottom line‘ in their annual reports. Corporations, especially multinational companies, have had to develop new strategic orientations. Research on social, environmental and overall ethical behaviour of companies has been developed. The concept of stakeholder has simultaneously gained a kind of ‘metaphoric evidence‘. The book comments on the American theoretical foundations of the notion of Corporate Social Responsibility, and more specifically, the

Overview: Winner of a 2018 TAA Textbook Excellence Award.Provides a holistic, cross-discipline method for problem structuring and assessment.Allows readers to gain a deeper understanding of complex, real-world .This expanded second edition of the 2014 textbook features dedicated sections on action and observation, so that the reader can combine the use of the developed theoretical basis with practical guidelines for deployment. It also includes a focus on selection and use of a dedicated modeling paradigm – fuzzy cognitive mapping – to facilitate use of the proposed multi-methodology. The end

Overview: In contrast to other existing volumes, this most advanced and comprehensive book on surface-enhanced Raman scattering features the full spectrum of applications of this technique.Almost 30 years after the first reports on surface-enhanced Raman signals, the phenomenon of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is now well established. Yet, explaining the enhancement of a spectroscopic signal by fouteen orders of magnitude continues to attract the attention of physicists and chemists alike. And, at the same time and rapidly growing, SERS is becoming a very useful spectroscopic tool w

Overview: Meets the need for a guide focusing specifically on new minimally invasive treatments for spinal canal and foraminal stenosis.Covers various CT and X-ray guided techniques.Includes helpful informationThis easy-to-consult guide describes new minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of spinal canal stenosis that are accompanied by fewer complications and side-effects, reduce the risks of anesthesia, and lower costs. Clear accounts are provided of various CT and X-ray guided techniques for lumbar spinal canal and foraminal stenosis, including the use of spacers and minimally inva

Overview: Re-evaluates and challenges the presumptive claims in Hip Hop Studies.Discusses the distinction between the philosophical/theoretical framework brought to bear on Hip Hop and the one which emerged fro.Drawing on the culture’s history before and after the birth of rap music, this book argues that the values attributed to Hip Hop by ‘postmodern’ scholars stand in stark contrast with those that not only implicitly guided its aesthetic elements, but are explicitly voiced by Hip Hop’s pioneers and rap music’s most consequential artists. It argues that the structural evacuation of the voic

Overview: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 26th International Symposium on Static Analysis, SAS 2019, held in Porto, Portugal, in October 2019.. The 20 regular papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. . The papers are grouped in topical sections on pointers and dataflow; languages and decidability; numerical; trends: assuring machine learning; synthesis and security; and temporal properties and termination.978-3-030-32303-5978-3-030-32304-2Series ISSN 0302-9743 Series E-ISSN 1611-3349

Overview: First volume aimed at mathematicians to cover a wide range of models from population genetics.Provides the biological motivation for models without using too much `jargon‘.Provides the mathematical anThis work reflects sixteen hours of lectures delivered by the author at the 2009 St Flour summer school in probability.It provides a rapid introduction to a range of mathematical models that have their origins in theoretical population genetics.The models fall into two classes: forwards in time models for the evolution of frequencies of different genetic types in a population; and backwa

Overview: tenant is looming in importance. The owner is having more influence on the building. As Gerald D. Hines has said, there are indications that the desire for more discretionary time will lead to more residential high-rises dose to or in the midst of downtown office buildings. Downtown living could become the desired alternative. Tall buildings will be approached increasingly from the standpoint of an urban ecology - that what happens to apart can influence the whole. Provid­ ing for public as well as private needs in a tall building project is just one example (facilities for schools,

Overview: Focuses on areas of Additive Theory that have not been treated in detail in book form.Requires little pre-requisite apart from a solid background in undergraduate mathematics and graduate-level introd.​Nestled between number theory, combinatorics, algebra and analysis lies a rapidly developing subject in mathematics variously known as additive combinatorics, additive number theory, additive group theory, and combinatorial number theory. Its main objects of study are not abelian groups themselves, but rather the additive structure of subsets and subsequences of an abelian group, i.e.,

Overview: A series of fascinating chapters analyze cookery books through the ages. From the convenience-food cookbooks of the 1950s, to the 1980s rise in ‘white trash‘ cookbooks, and the surprise success of the Two Fat Ladies books from the 1990s, leading author Sherrie Inness discusses how women have used such books over the years to protest social norms.978-1-349-53164-6978-1-4039-8105-9

Overview: In September of 1977 scientists from many countries met at the Asticou Inn in Maine to present and discuss papers written especially for this monograph. The presentations were informal and directed to the special interests of the audience in order to generate discussions. The authors, many of whom are pioneers and leaders in their field, then had the oppor­ tunity to revise their contributions, which were brought together with the edited discussions to form this volume. The basic research studies presented here are important because of the essential role of gonadotropins in regulatin

Overview: Trotz des großen Einflusses der Betreuungsbehörden auf die Bestellung rechtlicher Betreuer ist bislang nur wenig darüber bekannt, wie die hierfür zentralen Sozialberichte im behördlichen Betrieb hergestellt werden. Auf der Grundlage einer ethnographischen Feldforschung und den eigenen Erfahrungen als Sachbearbeiter zeigt Thomas Spagl auf, wie im Kontext eines bedingt kapazitären Apparates die Fallbearbeitung vorangetrieben wird, die dabei auftretenden Vollzugs- und Bezugsprobleme bearbeitet werden und der entstehende Sozialbericht in das Betreuungsverfahren eingearbeitet wird. Die fo

Overview: Polymers are essential to biology because they can have enough stable degrees of freedom to store the molecular code of heredity and to express the sequences needed to manufacture new molecules. Through these they perform or control virtually every function in life. Although some biopolymers are created and spend their entire career in the relatively large free space inside cells or organelles, many biopolymers must migrate through a narrow passageway to get to their targeted destination. This suggests the questions: How does confining a polymer affect its behavior and function? What

Overview: This is the first monograph on theoretically supported scalable algorithms for contact problems.Exposition neatly presents efficient domain decomposition methods and a comprehensive description of par.This book presents a comprehensive and self-contained treatment of the authors’ newly developed scalable algorithms for the solutions of multibody contact problems of linear elasticity. The brand new feature of these algorithms is theoretically supported numerical scalability and parallel scalability demonstrated on problems discretized by billions of degrees of freedom. The theory supp
