Overview: .Staphylococcus aureus. is now acknowledged as being themost important bacterial pathogen of humans. It usually produceslocalized disease but can be rapidly invasive, spreading through thetissues, invading bone, and seeding the bloodstream to produce afulminant picture of septic shock, disseminated intravascularcoagulation, and rapid death. Moreover, most strains of staphinfections are becoming resistant to most antibiotics, thus posing asignificant problem for hospitals and health care facilities. Thisbook, a volume in the .Infectious Agents. .and Pathogenesis.series, presents chapt

Overview: Soziale Innovationsfähigkeit und RaumentwicklungObwohl soziale Innovationsfähigkeit in den letzten Jahren zunehmend zum Thema in politischen und wissenschaftlichen Diskussionen geworden ist, wurde ihr Potenzial für die Raumentwicklung bisher kaum ergründet. Gesellschaftliche Ungleichgewichte und sozialräumliche Disparitäten verlangen jedoch im Angesicht der Folgen der Globalisierung und des sozialstaatlichen Rückzugs nach neuen Lösungsmodellen. So werden auch in Industriestaaten vermehrt Hoffnungen auf Menschen gesetzt, die sich als ‚Social Entrepreneurs’ der Lösung sozialer Aufgaben

Overview: If you need to analyze a data set using a parametric nonlinear regression model, if you are not on familiar terms with statistics and software, and if you make do with S-PLUS, this book is for you. In each chapter we start by presenting practical examples. We then describe the problems posed by these examples in terms of statistical problems, and we demonstrate how to solve these problems. Finally, we apply the proposed methods to the example data sets. You will not find any mathematical proofs here. Rather, we try when possible to explain the solutions using intuitive arguments. Thi
