Overview: Examines the significance of silence in educational contexts.Asks if silence can bear a message or if it is a language all on its own.Analyses a range of silences within and beyond educationThis book explores the significance of silence within and beyond pedagogical contexts. Silence is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon for everyday life: since schools mirror society, it is also significant in education. While silence can be experienced in a multitude of different ways, the author reflects on whether silence itself can bear a message: is there an aspect of dialogue in silence

Overview: Clarifies the use of the term "script" in education. Theoretically, the term "script" appears to be rather ill-defined.However, from a cognitive psychology perspective, scripts help individuals to act.Research on Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is a multidisciplinary field located at the intersection of cognitive psychology, computer science, and education. Yet, the different epistemological and theoretical backgrounds of these disciplines often make fruitful exchange between them difficult. CSCL urgently needs to develop and use boundary concepts that can bring thes

Overview: Challenges the received view of clefts as conveying information structure only.Develops propositional semantics with close cognitive-functional argumentation​.Offers the first systematic study of therThis book proposes a radically new account of clefts in English. Since the 1960s, functional as well as formal linguists have generally restricted clefts to constructions with an identifying matrix (it-clefts) and have claimed that they only code information structure. Clefts are assumed to unpack a simple proposition into a focus – presupposition structure. In this book, the authors rej

Die Autoren sehen in Sharing (zu Deutsch „teilen“) eine Entwicklung, die aufgrund von Trends wie u.a. Car- oder Bike-Sharing zukünftig eine immer größere Rolle spielen wird – und die das Stadtleben der Zukunft mit Blick auf immer knapp

Overview: In crystals as diverse as sodium chloride, silicon dioxide,sold xenon, pyrene, arsenic triselenide, and silverchloride, the fundamental electronicexcitation (exciton) islocalized within its own lattice distortion field veryshortly after its creation. This book discusses thestructure if the self-trapped exciton (STE) and itsevolution along the path of itsreturn to the ground stateor to a defect state of crytal. A comprehensivereview ofexperiments on STEs in a wide range of materials hasbeenassembled, including extensive tables of data. Throughout,emphasisis given to the basic physics

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .The theory of fractional Brownian motion and other long-memory processes are addressed in this volume. Interesting topics for PhD students and specialists in probability theory, stochastic analysis and financial mathematics demonstrate the modern level of this field. Among these are results about Levy characterization of fractional Brownian motion, maximal moment inequalities for Wiener integrals including the values 0

Overview: Presents practical applications of stochastic mixed integer programming for solving supply chain disruption problems.Computational examples use commercially available software.End-of-chapter problems This book deals with stochastic combinatorial optimization problems in supply chain disruption management, with a particular focus on management of disrupted flows in customer-driven supply chains. The problems are modeled using a scenario based stochastic mixed integer programming to address risk-neutral, risk-averse and mean-risk decision-making in the presence of supply chain disrupti

Overview: Contributes to a better understanding of the three key themes that it deals with – sustainability standards, global governance, and emerging economies.Offers an in-depth analysis of the issue of ‘sustThis open access book focuses on the issue of sustainability standards from the perspective of both global governance frameworks and emerging economies. It stems from the recognition that the accelerated pace of economic globalization has generated production and consumption patterns that are generating sustainability concerns. Sustainability standards (and regulations) are increasingly

Overview: In this book we consider ways in which mining companies do and can/should respect the human rights of communities affected by mining operations. We examine what "can and should" means and to whom, in a variety of mostly Peruvian contexts, and how engineers engage in "normative" practices that may interfere with the communities‘ best interests. We hope to raise awareness of the complexity of issues at stake and begin the necessary process of critique—of self and of the industry in which an engineer chooses to work. This book aims to alert engineering students to the price paid not onl
