Overview: Youth of Turkish Descent in GermanyIntegration of immigrants and their descendants has been a socially sensitive and a politically pressing issue in Germany, particularly in recent decades. Being the largest immigrant group in the country, and for a number of other reasons, the spotlight has been on people of Turkish descent. From a sociological perspective, the process of identity formation is a critical step in the direction of integration. If immigrants of Turkish descent are to be integrated in the society, it is crucial to inquire how they conceive of themselves, and perceive ho

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .The study of disaster statistics and disaster occurrence is a complicated interdisciplinary field involving the interplay of new theoretical findings from several scientific fields like mathematics, physics, and computer science. Statistical studies on the mode of occurrence of natural disasters largely rely on fundamental findings in the statistics of rare events, which were derived in the 20th century. With regard to natural disasters, it is not so much the fact that the importance of this problem for mankind was recognized during the last third of

Overview: Geschweißte schmiedeeiserne Rohre sind bereits rund 140 Jahre bekannt. Sie konnten wohl im Rohrleitungsbau nach und nach die Blei- und Kupferrohre fast ganz verdrängen, die erzeugten Mengen reichten aber für anderweitige Verwen­ dung im Bauwesen nicht aus. Die Situation änderte sich erst, als zu Beginn di"ses Jahrhunderts die Schwierigkeiten bei der Erzeugung nahtloser Rohre überwunden waren. Inzwischen hatte die Röhrenindustrie auch bei geschweißten Rohren Fort­ schritte gemacht, so daß sie ausreichende Mengen von Stahlrohren für die Ver­ wendung im Bauwesen liefern konnte. Das einf

Overview: Provides a review of the main deterministic and stochastic optimization methods.Presents material that industrial engineers, postgraduates, and undergraduates in systems design will find useful.Large This text focuses on simple and easy-to-use design strategies for solving complex engineering problems that arise in several fields of engineering design, namely non-convex optimization problems. .The main optimization tool used in this book to tackle the problem of nonconvexity is the Heuristic Kalman Algorithm (HKA). The main characteristic of HKA is the use of a stochastic search mech

Overview: The Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center in coop­ eration with the Materials Science Group of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science of Syracuse University has been conducting the Annual Sagamore Army Materials Research Conference since 1954. The specific purpose of these conferences has been to bring together over 150 scientists and engineers from academic institutions, industry and government who are uniquely qualified to explore in depth a subject of importance to the Department of Defense, the Army and the scientific community. These proceedings, ent

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .This brief focuses on stochastic energy optimization for distributed energy resources in smart grids. Along with a review of drivers and recent developments towards distributed energy resources, this brief presents research challenges of integrating millions of distributed energy resources into the grid. The brief then proposes a novel three-level hierarchical architecture for effectively integrating distributed energy resources into smart grids. Under the proposed hierarchical architecture, distributed energy resource management algorithms at the th

Overview: SAW devices are widely used in mobile communications, a still growing market.Gives an overview on the latest SAW technologies.Emphasis is on design and simulation of devices.Difficult mathematics is aAlthough the existence of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) was first dis­ cussed in 1885 by Lord Rayleigh [1], it did not receive engineering interest for a long time. In 1965, the situation changed dramatically. White suggested that SAWs can be excited and detected efficiently by using an interdigital transducer (IDT) placed on a piezoelectric substrate [2]. This is because very fine IDT

Overview: Adopts an ethnographic approach to life experiences of single mothers in Thailand from an intersectional perspective.Develops “passive-aggressive social exclusion” as a new typology to provide policy .This book investigates a range of major sociological debates and policy studies related to gender, family, marriage, health, intersectionality, and social exclusion of single mothers in Thailand. It does so by analyzing ethnographic data gained from participant observation at NGOs and a psychiatric hospital, in-depth interviews with single mothers and social workers, and a review of gov

Overview: Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key notes and implementation advice from experts.Blood science has become a cornerstone of multiple disciplines, including clinical chemistry, disease diagnosis, and therapeutic monitoring.  Over the past decade, we have witnessed the advent of increasingly powerful proteomics technologies that allow greater fundamental insights into the blood proteome.  These technological improvements have, in part, fuelled the quest for the discovery of novel blood-based biomarkers
