Overview: In the six years since the first edition of this book was published, the field of Structural Complexity has grown quite a bit. However, we are keeping this volume at the same basic level that it had in the first edition, and the only new result incorporated as an appendix is the closure under complementation of nondeterministic space classes, which in the previous edition was posed as an open problem. This result was already included in our Volume II, but we feel that due to the basic nature of the result, it belongs to this volume. There are of course other important results obtaine

Overview: Presents accumulated knowledge/ information of research on ornamental plants and the role of somatic embryogenesis in the development of ornamental plants.Highlights the importance of embryonic cell/tSomatic embryogenesis (SE) is a unique process by means of which a vegetative/somatic plant cell transforms into an embryo. This .in vitro .embryogeny has immense fundamental and practical applications. The SE process is complex and is controlled by a variety of external and internal triggers. This book compiles the latest advances in embryogenesis research on ornamentals and discusses t

Overview: .Jews often consider Hinduism to be Avoda Zara, idolatry, due to its worship of images and multiple gods. Closer study of Hinduism and of recent Jewish attitudes to it suggests the problem is far more complex. In the process of considering Hinduism‘s status as Avoda Zara, this book revisits the fundamental definitions of Avoda Zara and asks how we use the category. By appealing to the history of Judaism‘s view of Christianity, author Alon Goshen-Gottstein seeks to define what Avoda Zara is and how one might recognize the same God in different religions, despite legal definitions. Thr

Overview: Examines subnational government from the perspective of small state theory.Presents Iceland as a model state for decentralization in small states.Demonstrates the difference population size makes whenThis book explores the development of subnational government in small states, using Iceland as a model and comparing it with small states of similar population size as well as those with larger populations. The book examines subnational government from the perspective of small state theory, providing a comprehensive overview of the basic data on subnational government for all small state

Overview: Offers a fresh approach to student engagement.Offers an explanation for student engagement’s ability to transcend different intellectual and practice contexts.Enables teachers to rethink their currentThis book investigates origins, meanings, uses and effects of student engagement in higher education, and addresses three core questions: (1) Why is student engagement so visible in higher education today? (2) What are its dominant characteristics? (3) What is missing in the popular view of student engagement? These questions pave the way for a fresh approach to student engagement.  .The

Overview: Presents the relativistic collisions in a new geometric way and prepares the student for the next steps into Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity.Provides a full overview of the mathematics neededWriting a new book on the classic subject of Special Relativity, on which numerous important physicists have contributed and many books have already been written, can be like adding another epicycle to the Ptolemaic cosmology. Furthermore, it is our belief that if a book has no new elements, but simply repeats what is written in the existing literature, perhaps with a different style, th

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The importance of specific antibodies for the clearance of and long-term resistance to many infectious pathogens has long been appreciated. Moreover, the role in these processes of the different antibody heavy chain isotypes, each tailored to induce diverse effector pathways such as those mediated by complement and Fc receptors and to promote antibody localization in distinct regions of the body, is well established. Insights into the molecular mechanism of isotype class switching showed that during an immune response B cells could change the heavy ch

Overview: Für fast alle Arbeitsvorgänge im industriellen Alltag lassen sich heute Maschinen einsetzen. Jedoch ist es nicht so sehr die Maschine allein, die den Fortschritt vorantreibt, sondern mehr noch ihre zweckvolle Einbindung in die gesamte technische Anlage. Der Kunde fragt daher weniger nach den Einzelkomponenten, ihn interessiert vielmehr, ob die Gesamtfunktion des technischen Prozesses erfüllt wird. Dies wird erst durch entsprechende Einrichtungen der Steuerungs- und Regelungstechnik gewährleistet. Die Steuerung gehört daher heute notwendigerweise zum Lieferumfang einer Anlage hinzu. K
