Overview: Einfache Darstellung, für Anfänger verständlich.Praktische Problemlösungen statt Theorie.Hilfe zur optimalen Anwendung.Ein Verständnis für die Grundlagen der finiten Elemente ist Voraussetzung dafür, dass man FE-Programme sinnvoll einsetzen kann, dass man Ergebnisse bewerten kann, denn erst aus dem Wissen um die Grundlagen kommt die nötige Souveränität und Gelassenheit im Umgang mit FE-Programmen. Das Ziel des Buches ist es daher, die Grundlagen der finiten Elemente in einer an die Vorstellungswelt des Ingenieurs angepassten Sprache darzustellen, sie so aufzubereiten, dass die Statik

Overview: The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Scale Invariance, Interfaces and Non­ Equilibrium Dynamics" was held at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge, UK from 20-30 June 1994. The topics discussed at the Institute were all concerned with the origin and nature of complex structures found far from equilibrium. Examples ranged from reaction­ diffusion systems and hydrodynamics through to surface growth due to deposition. A common theme was that of scale invariance due to the self-similarity of the underly­ ing structures. The topics that were covered can be bro

Overview: Lebensstile als AnalyseinstrumentDas Lebensstilkonzept wird seit zwei Jahrzehnten als Alternative zu klassischen Konzepten der Sozialstrukturanalyse diskutiert. Der bisherige Ertrag der Lebensstilforschung ist jedoch recht mager. Als Hauptprobleme der Forschungspraxis gelten: die mangelnde Vergleichbarkeit der Lebensstiltypologien; ihre Theoriearmut; der fragliche Realitätsgehalt einzelner Lebensstiltypen; der Erhebungsaufwand von Lebensstilvariablen. Die Studie beansprucht, diese Probleme durch die Entwicklung eines theoretisch begründeten und empirisch effizient einsetzbaren Analys

Overview: Ergebnisse einer epidemiologischen Studie für das Land SteiermarkDie Studie zeigt am Beispiel Österreichs, dass Tod durch Suizid keineswegs - wie von manchen Vertretern Individuum-zentrierter Forschungsrichtungen immer noch behauptet - ein schicht-unabhängiges Phänomen ist. Vielmehr wird anhand von Analysen fallbezogener sowie aggregierter quantitativer Daten aufgezeigt, dass soziale Faktoren wie Erwerbstätigkeit, Einkommen und Bildung, gemeinsam mit psychischen und somatischen Erkrankungen, einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf das Suizidrisiko haben - wobei dies sowohl für einzelne Perso
