Overview: The present doctoral thesis was developed within the framework of the research project "Deformation Capacity of Structural Concrete". This project aims at developing a consistent and experimentally verified theory of the deformation capacity of structural concrete. Previous work included the development of a theoretical model, the so-called Tension Chord Model, which allows a comprehensive description of the load-deforma­ tion behaviour of tension members in non-prestressed and prestressed concrete struc­ tures. The present work focuses on a new theoretical model, the so-called Crack

Overview: Jennifer Lung entwickelte ein Testinstrument, mithilfe dessen sie das Schulcurriculare Fachwissen von 703 Mathematiklehramtsstudierenden zu unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten im Studienverlauf erhebt. Diese Trendstudie erlaubt es, die Struktur des Schulcurricularen Fachwissens, dessen Entwicklung im Studienverlauf sowie den Zusammenhang mit dem Studienerfolg zu beschreiben. Die Befunde zeigen, dass sich zwar Teilbereiche des Schulcurricularen Fachwissens im Studienverlauf weiterentwickeln, die Testleistungen jedoch aus Sicht von Hochschullehrenden insgesamt als unzureichend zu bewerten si

Overview: 1.1 Zum Begriff der Dienstleistungen Der Begriff der Dienstleistungen wird sowohl in volkswirt­ schaftlichen als auch in betriebswirtschaftlichen Unter­ suchungen recht verschieden gebraucht bzw. abgegrenzt. Eine Anzahl von Definitionen liegt bereits vor, auf die jedoch nicht weiter eingegangen werden soll, weil hier eine präzise Begriffsbestimmung nicht erforderlich scheint. Am intensiv­ sten hat sich wohl Rudo1f Ma1eri im deutschsprachigen Raum mit diesen Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der "Dienstleistungs­ produktion" befaßt. Die vorliegende Untersuchung ist zwischen Mikro- und Makroö

Overview: Recent results in soft computing for hybrid intelligent systemsWe describe in this book, new methods and applications of hybrid intelligent systems using soft computing techniques. Soft Computing (SC) consists of several intelligent computing paradigms, including fuzzy logic, neural networks, and evolutionary al- rithms, which can be used to produce powerful hybrid intelligent systems. The book is organized in five main parts, which contain a group of papers around a similar subject. The first part consists of papers with the main theme of intelligent control, which are basically pap

Overview: During the military stand-off between East and West known as the Cold War, each of the two camps sought out to undermine its opponent by looking for vulnerable aspects of its society. The Soviets exploited the opportunities offered to them by the pluralism that flourished in western societies. In this respect youth and student movements were a promising target. This work describes how the Soviets attempted to manipulate Student and Youth Organizations in the West, and how western governments and intelligence agencies, notably the CIA, reacted.978-1-349-24838-4Series ISSN 2633-5964 Se
