Overview: Provides readers with solid background and context to understand the phenomenon of design cognition.Helps designers recognize their design style, understand their personal style, and comprehend how it.This book looks at causative reasons behind creative acts and stylistic expressions. It explores how creativity is initiated by design cognition and explains relationships between style and creativity. The book establishes a new cognitive theory of style and creativity in design and provides designers with insights into their own cognitive processes and styles of thinking, supporting a

Overview: .Schrödinger Equations and Diffusion Theory. addresses the question "What is the Schrödinger equation?" in terms of diffusion processes, and shows that the Schrödinger equation and diffusion equations in duality are equivalent. In turn, Schrödinger‘s conjecture of 1931 is solved. The theory of diffusion processes for the Schrödinger equation tell us that we must go further into the theory of systems of (infinitely) many interacting quantum (diffusion) particles..The method of relative entropy and the theory of transformations enable us to construct severely singular diffusion process

Overview: Religion and science were fundamental aspects of Eastern European communist political culture from the very beginning, and remained in uneasy tension across the region over the decades. While both topics have long attracted a great deal of scholarly attention, they almost invariably have been studied discretely as separate stories. .Religion, Science and Communism in Cold War Europe. is the first scholarly effort to explore the delicate interface of religion, science and communism in Cold War Europe. It brings together an international team of researchers who address this relationshi

Overview: This work is intended as an introduction to the study of Soviet psy­ chology. In it we have tried to present the main lines of Soviet psycho­ logical theory, in particular, the philosophical principles on which that theory is founded. There are surprisingly few books in English on Soviet psychology, or, indeed, in any Western European language. The works that exist usually take the form of symposia or are collections of articles translated from Soviet periodicals. The most important of these are Psychology in the Soviet Union (ed. by Brian Simon), Recent Soviet Psychology (ed. by Nei

Overview: Discusses the mechanisms underlying the function of SAPKs and the relevance of these signalling pathways in different organisms.Written by international experts.Includes supplementary material: .To maximize the probability of survival, cells need to coordinate their intracellular activities in response to changes in the extracellular environment. MAP kinase cascades play an important role in the transduction of signals inside eukaryotic cells. In particular, stress stimuli result in the rapid activation of a highly conserved group of MAP kinases, known as SAPKs (Stress-Activated Prot

Overview: Der Einfluss von Sportgroßveranstaltungen auf Städte.Strukturelle und wirtschaftliche Folgen der Eventisierung.Grundlegende Studie zu einem hoch aktuellen Thema.​Insofern sich Städte als „Unternehmen“ begreifen (sollen), werden Sportgroßveranstaltungen als „Standortfaktor“ benutzt, so dass die Förderung des Sports und seiner kulturellen Potentiale in den Hintergrund gedrängt werden. Dadurch ist aber die Zustimmung zu den großen Veranstaltungen des Sports nicht mehr ungeteilt. Zusätzlich besteht die Problematik, wie viel sich Städte die von ihnen (mit)ausgerichteten Sportgroßveranstal

Overview: This volume contains the proceedings of an InternationalSymposium on `Second Messenger Systems - Molecular, Cellularand Behavioural Aspects‘, which was held at Tobago on June16-17, 1994. .The interaction of an extracellular agonist (First Messenger) with itsplasma membrane receptor leads to the transmission of a signal acrossthe cell membrane and results in the production and/or activation ofother signalling molecules (Second Messengers). These SecondMessengers control the action of many protein kinases and proteinphosphatases and so lead to cellular responses. Although thebiochemica

Overview: All the surgeon needs to know about emergency abdominal surgery.Short chapters, allocated to three sections: preoperative phase, the operation, postoperative phase.Written in an easy-to-read tone - co.Emergency Abdominal Surgery is a battleground for the surgeon - providing character-building experiences, and opportunities for triumph and disaster. In the third  edition of this ‘simple‘ book, emergency abdominal surgery is discussed in an informal and no nonsense fashion - as practiced in the ‘trenches‘ of the ER and the OR. The preferred approach for a given situation is discussed i

Overview: This second edition of Satellite Communications is a revised, updated, and improved version of the first edition (Van Nostrand, 1984) and has been extended to include many newer topics that are rapidly becoming important in modem and next-generation satellite systems. The first half of the book again covers the basics of satellite links, but has been updated to include additional areas such as Global Positioning and deep space satellites, dual polarization, multiple beaming, advanced satellite electronics, frequency synthesizers, and digital frequency generators. The second half of t

Overview: Shows how companies can create favorable conditions that fasten the development of intrinsic work motivation.Written by authorities in the fields of business management and economics.Includes supplemeMotivated people are crucial to create a sustainable competitive advantage for your company. Successful Management by Motivation shows that in a knowledge-based society, this goal cannot be achieved by extrinsic motivation alone. Pay for performance often even hurts because it crowds out intrinsic motivation like work morale. To succeed, companies have to find ways of fostering and susta

Overview: Discusses the recent advances in our understanding of sleep in invertebrates and vertebrates.Presents detailed information on the evolution and functions of sleep.Examines the impact of acute or chron.This book discusses the evolution of sleep and its possible function in the higher invertebrates and vertebrates, including humans. It describes the current concept of sleep and its functions, based on research on the mammalian system. To date, electrophysiological recordings of the brain waves, muscle activity, and eye movements are the only tools available for characterizing the sleep

Overview: One-stop point for policymakers to develop strategies for strengthening the Science and Innovation ecosystem.Includes actions required to enhance national STI capabilities to nurture a dynamic innovat.Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) are the key drivers of the economy and development of a country. The economic and social impacts of STI require a deep understanding of the STI ecosystem, which includes the interactions between actors, their technologies, and their business models. This book, "Science, Technology, and Innovation Ecosystems: A National and Global Perspective," f

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Die Strategische Führung von Unternehmen ist nicht nur in einer tiefgreifenden Krise wichtig, wie wir sie zurzeit erleben. Doch gerade in Krisen wird ihre Qualität oft schonungslos offengelegt. Die Spreu trennt sich vom Weizen, und Unternehmen, die nicht über die notwendigen Fähigkeiten verfügen, können diese meist nicht mehr rechtzeitig aufbauen, um sich vor dem Schlimmsten zu bewahren. In Wissenschaft und Praxis sind wir noch ein gutes Stück davon entfernt, die individuellen und kollektiven Fähigkeiten von Führungskräften, die notwendig sind, um Unt
