Overview: Drawing on a wide range of expertise, this volume addresses fundamental issues surrounding industrialization in Southeast Asia, which are particularly pressing now that the region‘s miracle has been transformed into a debacle, and the world seeks to draw lessons from the experience. The contributors address crucial questions such as: How did Southeast Asia industrialize? What have been the consequences of domination by foreign investment? Did the region‘s resource wealth weaken its imperative to industrialize? Why else has Southeast Asia‘s industrialization been inferior to the rest

Overview: Nicht die Numerik, sondern die Anschauung steht im VordergrundDas Lehrbuch Strömungsmechanik führt anschaulich in die Grundlagen, Grundgleichungen und Lösungsmethoden der Strömungsmechanik ein und hat sich zu einem Standardwerk in der Strömungsmechanikausbildung entwickelt. Es behandelt systematisch die Einführung strömungsmechanischer Software, die der Entwicklungsingenieur oder Technomathematiker in der Industrie vorfindet. Der Naturwissenschaftler findet die strömungs-physikalischen Grundlagen, deren Kenntnisse insbesondere für die Meteorologie und Geophysik erforderlich sind. .In

Overview: Engages with current views and topics on meaning in language.Proposes a novel solution to a thus far unresolved debate.Synthesizes philosophical and linguistic tradition with up-to-date research in ps.This book systematically investigates what follows about meaning in language if current views on the limited, or even redundant, role of linguistic semantics are taken to their radical conclusion. Focusing on conditionals, the book defends a wholly pragmatic, wholly inferential account of meaning – one which foregrounds a reasoning subject’s individual state of mind. The topics discusse

Overview: Key figures and tables visually reinforce important elements of the disease process.Combines several teaching approaches including case based, short questions and answers¿, and management algorithms.WSurgery: A Case Based Clinical Review provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of surgical diseases in one easy to use reference that combines multiple teaching formats. The book begins using a case based approach. The cases presented cover the diseases most commonly encountered on a surgical rotation. The cases are designed to provide the reader with the classic findings o

Overview: A fast-growing interest in the concepts and application of systems research has spawned a wide and general literature over the past decade. Most disciplinary areas have been touched, but commerce, engineering and military studies have, perhaps, been best served with outstanding texts. No provision has so far been made for a general book at introductory level of direct relevance to agricultural science, technology and management. General reviews are, of course, valuable to the agricultural-systems researcher but agricultural systems, with important biological components interacting wi

Overview: The fundamental optical excitations that are confined to a metal/dielectric interface are the surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), as described by Ritchie. SPPs can be referred to as electromagnetic excitations existing at an interface between two media, of which at least one is conducting. Investigating spoof plasmons in a semiconductor is becoming an increasingly active area of research. The field of plasmonics deals with the application of surface and interface plasmons. It is an area in which surface plasmon-based circuits merge the fields of photonics and electronics at the nanosc

Overview: Includes supplementary material: SAGA 2001, the ?rst Symposium on Stochastic Algorithms, Foundations and Applications, took place on December 13–14, 2001 in Berlin, Germany. The present volume comprises contributed papers and four invited talks that were included in the ?nal program of the symposium. Stochastic algorithms constitute a general approach to ?nding approximate solutions to a wide variety of problems. Although there is no formal proof that stochastic algorithms perform better than deterministic ones, there is evidence by empirical observations that stochastic algorithms p

Overview: .Anche il marketing, come tanti ambiti professionali, vive oggi l’opportunità di aggiornare i paradigmi e le metodologie tradizionali grazie a contributi provenienti da altre discipline, soprattutto da quelle di più recente sviluppo. Tra queste, si segnalano oggi la psicologia cognitiva e le neuroscienze. Il libro intende offrire al lettore uno spaccato di quanto questi due settori possono offrire alla comprensione delle dinamiche di acquisto, mostrando come la conoscenza dei meccanismi di pensiero e dei processi cerebrali aiuti a identificare ciò che accade nella mente del destinata

Overview: I was shocked to see a student’s report on performance comparisons between support vector machines (SVMs) and fuzzy classi?ers that we had developed withourbestendeavors.Classi?cationperformanceofourfuzzyclassi?erswas comparable, but in most cases inferior, to that of support vector machines. This tendency was especially evident when the numbers of class data were small. I shifted my research e?orts from developing fuzzy classi?ers with high generalization ability to developing support vector machine–based classi?ers. This book focuses on the application of support vector machines to

Overview: More and more biologists, chemists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, governmental agencies, and "food control" (regulatory) officials around the world are finding it increasingly difficult to keep abreast of the technical literature in the pesticide field; indeed, many libraries do not have even a small proportion of the journals and other sources that now regularly contain research, development, and application information about all aspects of modern chemical pest control. As a result, a very large number of requests has come to RESIDUE RE­ VIEWS to publish detailed digests of inform
