Overview: In July, 1988, more than 300 scientists from 29 different countries gathered at Tiibingen, W. Germany, in order to spend 4 days discussing their favourite trace element, selenium. This meeting continued the good tradition of three previous meetings held in Corvallis/Oregon, 1976, in Lubbock/Texas, 1980, and in Beijing/China, in 1984. Incidentally, the University of Tiibingen provided a unique historical background for a Symposium devoted to recent advances in biochemistry, pharmacology, human nutrition and human health; here, the first independent depart­ ment of Physiological Chemis

Overview: Die Untersuchung zeigt, wie man mit der Methodik empirischer Theorienvergleiche zu einem tieferen Verständnis der Erklärungsleistung und der Integrationsmöglichkeiten von Theorien kommt. Anhand der Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen 1991) und der General Theory of Crime(Gottfredson/Hirschi 1990) wird an einer Fragestellung der Soziologie abweichenden Verhaltens (Fahren unter Alkoholeinfluß) die Fruchtbarkeit des vorgelegten Ansatzes diskutiert. Der Autor diskutiert das Vorgehen bei Operationalisierungen, Strategien der Auswertung und die Überprüfung von Hypothesen.978-3-8100-2486-2978

Overview: Dem Phänomen der Stille sozialpsychologisch und philosophisch auf der Spur.Erzählender Wegweiser mit zahlreichen anschaulichen Fallstudien.Bekannter Buchautor.Stille und Schweigen sind im Alltag und in der Politik ständig präsent, aber warum sprechen wir so selten darüber? Wir lieben die Stille, die Ruhe, wenn wir sie brauchen, halten sie aber kaum aus, wenn wir ihr Gegenüber sind. Im Geheimnis verschweigen wir etwas, das uns beschützt und hilft zu leben. Auf der anderen Seite wird manches buchstäblich totgeschwiegen, das zur Sprache gebracht werden müsste, um Heilung zu ermöglichen.

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the University of Oxford, UK.Explains the latest data analysis procedures in flavour physics in more detail than is possible in a journal article.In-depth aOur current understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, summarised by the Standard Model of particle physics, is incomplete. For example, it fails to explain why we do not see equal, or almost equal, numbers of particles and their antiparticle partners. To explain this asymmetry requires, among other effects, a mechanism known as charge-parity (CP) violation that ca

Overview: We wish to extend a warm welcome to the reader of this extended postp- ceedings publication of SAG 2004, the 1st International Workshop on Scienti?c Applications on Grid Computing. This workshop was held in September 2004, in conjunction with the 2004 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2004) and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT 2004). The WI and IAT conferences have provided, for several years, a leading - ternational forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse ?elds,suchascomputerscience,informationtechnology,business,educatio

Overview: Introduces magnetism and discusses magnetic properties of materials, magnetic moments of atoms and ions, and the elements important to magnetism.Covers magnetic susceptibilities and electromagnetic wa.Magnetic materials can support propagating waves of magnetization; since these are oscillations in the magnetostatic properties of the material, they are called magnetostatic waves (sometimes “magnons” or “magnetic polarons”). Under the proper circumstances these waves can exhibit, either dispersive or nondispersive, isotropic or anisotropic propagation, nonreciprocity, frequency-select

Overview: The Department of Electrical Engineering-ESAT at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven regularly runs a course on the state of the art and evolution of computer security and industrial cryptography. The rst course took place in 1983, the second in 1989, and since then the course has been a biennial event. The course is intended for both researchers and practitioners from industry and government. It covers the basic principles as well as the most recent - velopments. Our own interests mean that the course emphasizes cryptography, but we also ensure that the most important topics in compu

Overview: This volume deals with macroeconomic issues and their relation with economic growth. Frustrating GDP growth has been a lasting feature of Latin American economies since the 1980s. Analyzing the policy measures that were taken in a bid to avoid costly mistakes and recover economic growth, this volume examines existing reforms and suggests areas of policy change to achieve macroeconomics for growth.978-0-230-52303-6

Overview: As our understanding of the biological sciences expands, the bou- aries between traditional disciplines tend to blur at the edges. Physio- gists and pharmacologists, for instance, now need to embrace techniques that until recently were the strict preserves of biochemists and mole- lar biologists. However, the acquisition of new technologies can be a time-consuming and frustrating business, and unless an expert is on hand to give instruction, precious hours can be spent poring over half-described Methods sections with no guarantee of eventual success. The aim of Signal Transduction Pr

Overview: Die Handlung eines Kriminalromanes läßt sich in anderthalb Seiten gut und gerne erzählen. Der Rest - die übrigen hundertachtundneunzig Schreibmaschinenseiten - sind Füllsel. Es kommt darauf an, was man mit diesem Füllsel anstellt. Friedrich Giauser: Offener Brief über die "Zehn Gebote für den Kriminalroman" 1 1. 1 Allgemeine Vorüberlegungen Wenn wir Friedrich Glauser folgen wollen, so bieten der Mord und seine Auflösung nicht mehr als ein narratives Skelett, anderthalb Seiten eben, der Großteil des Kriminalromans jedoch präsentiert und beschreibt Details, die den Roman örtlich, zeitl
