Overview: As far as I know, relatively little attention has been devoted in the West to the study of various financial problems in the USSR. Among 1 the works I have seen are Gallik et aI. , The Soviet, 1968 -evidently the most important work on this theme; Powell, "Monetary," 1972, in which the statistics of monetary circulation in the USSR are examin­ ed; Laulan, Banking, 1973, in which some of the questions I examine are also addressed; and CIA, The Soviet, 1977, which is about an analysis of the budget. Moreover, many specialists have turned to the analysis of the expenditures of the budge

Overview: Atherosclerosis, the most common disease in humans and also the main cause of death in the Western world, only develops after an intima is formed. The intima is defined as the region of the arterial wall from the endothelial surface to the luminal margin of the media. .This volume considers all aspects of intima formation based on results which had been obtained by studying three different models: .- Spontaneous intima formation; .- Experimentally induced intima formation; .- Latrogeneously induced intima formation.978-3-662-22432-8978-3-662-22430-4Series ISSN 1080-3645

Overview: Discusses not only second language (L2) motivation but also related fields, such as self-regulation and autonomy.Provides examples of multivariate quantitative research techniques, as well as examples.This book provides an overview of second language (L2) motivation research in a specific European context: Hungary, which has proved to offer an important laboratory for such research, as a number of major political changes over the past 30 years have created a changing background for L2 learning in an increasingly globalized world..The book provides an overview of theoretical research

Overview: Synergetics may be considered as an interdisciplinary effort dealing with the gene­ ral problem of how science can cope with complex systems. The preceding symposia on synergetics were devoted to systems of physics, chemistry and partly also biolo­ gy and sociology. It was possible to develop adequate concepts to describe and even to calculate evolving macroscopic spatial, temporal, and functional structures which emerge through self-organization of the individual parts of the systems under con­ sideration. This book contains the invited papers presented at the Symposium on the Syner

Overview: Raumplanung: wie und wozu?Wachsende gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen benötigen seitens der politischen und planerischen Steuerung ein erhöhtes Maß an Variabilität in den Verfahren und Instrumenten. Regionale Entwicklungssteuerung ist das Ergebnis des Zusammenspiels einer Vielzahl von Akteuren. Sie kann nur gelingen, wenn sie als Management von Interdependenzen angelegt wird. Um die dafür erforderliche Vielfalt der Planung im sich wandelnden Staat ging es Dietrich Fürst in einem wesentlichen Teil seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit. Im Mittelpunkt seiner Festschrift stehen deswegen Fr

Overview: The axiomatic foundations of the Bayesian approach to decision making assurne precision in the decision maker‘s judgements. In practicc, dccision makers often provide only partial and/or doubtful information. We unify and expand results to deal with those cases introducing a general framework for sensitivity analysis in multi-objective decision making. We study first decision making problems under partial information. We provide axioms leading to modelling preferences by families of value functions, in problems under certainty, and moJelling beliefs by families of probability distrib

Overview: Fills a gap between the crypto community and the designers of integrated circuits and systems.Gives insight into the basics of security and cryptography from the implementation viewpoint.Addresses sid.On any advanced integrated circuit or "system-on-chip" there is a need for security. In many applications the actual implementation has become the weakest link in security rather than the algorithms or protocols. The purpose of the book is to give the integrated circuits and systems designer an insight into the basics of security and cryptography from the implementation point of view. A

Overview: Contributions by experts in Salicylic Acid from all over the world.Scattered information concentrated in one volume.Ready reference material for students and researchers.Phytohormones are very much involved in directing plant growth, in a coordinated fashion in association with metabolism that provides energy and the building blocks to develop the form that we recognize as plant. Out of the recognized hormones, attention has largely been focused on Auxins, Gibberellins, Cytokinins, Abscisic acid, Ethylene and more recently to Brassinosteroids. However, this book provides information

Overview: Presents the state-of-the-art of forest resources assessments and monitoring and provides links to practical applications of forest and natural resource assessment programs.Includes supplementary mateWhen we talk about forests, we talk about 30% of our planet’s land surface 6 area. In 2000 there was an estimated 3 870×10 ha of forest worldwide, of which 1 5% is in forest plantations and 95% in natural forests (FAO 2003). Forests are not only a source for timber; they also generate significant nonwood goods and services, mitigate climate change, conserve biological diversity, provide

Overview: With this work, which was written under my academic supervision at the Graduate College for Law and Economics, Bert Van Roosebeke has covered a topic which is rather unusual to the literature of law and economics in a number of ways. This work does not – as does the huge majority of law and economics scholarship – deal with individual behaviour, as addressed by private law. Rather does the author analyse state behaviour as governed by European made state liability jurisdiction and law. He does so with the law and economics instruments traditionally used in the analysis of contract la
