Overview: This book is totally new in relation to Nanoscience.The chapters of the book are written by experts in their particular field.This book is aimed at students and reasearchers in this fieldThis book presents recent developments involving the role of nanoparticles on stress tolerance. In particular, nanoparticles have the potential to provide effective solutions to the multiple agriculture-related problems. Nanoparticles present enhanced reactivity and thus better effectiveness when compared to their bulkier counterparts due to their higher surface-to-volume ratio. 978-3-030-86878-9978-

Overview: Includes an overview on the state of art.Gives an approach for In-Car Applications.Written for professionals and practitioners in that field.Current speech recognition systems are based on speaker independent speech models and suffer from inter-speaker variations in speech signal characteristics. This work develops an integrated approach for speech and speaker recognition in order to gain space for self-learning opportunities of the system. This work introduces a reliable speaker identification which enables the speech recognizer to create robust speaker dependent models In addition,

Overview: The "Twelfth International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices" (SISPAD 2007) continues a long series of conferences and is held in September 2007 at the TU Wien, Vienna, Austria. The conference is the leading forum for Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) held alternatingly in the United States, Japan, and Europe. The first SISPAD conference took place in Tokyo in 1996 as the successor to three preceding conferences NUPAD, VPAD, and SISDEP. With its longstanding history SISPAD provides a world-wide forum for the presenta­ tion and discussion of outstan

Overview: Hot topic of current interest in a variety of research communities..Stochastic hybrid systems involve the coupling of discrete (logic based), continuous and probabilistic phenomena. Because of their versatility and generality, methods for modelling and analysis of stochastic hybrid systems have proved invaluable in a wide range of applications, including finance, air traffic control, biology, telecommunications, and embedded systems. Success stories in these application areas have made stochastic hybrid systems a very important, rapidly growing and dynamic research field since the be

Overview: Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Thomas Clauß untersucht die situativen Leistungspotenziale alternativer Governancemechanismen für die Zusammenarbeit von Abnehmern und Zulieferern. Es wird gezeigt, das transaktionale (z. B. Verträge), relationale (z. B. Vertrauen) und plurale Governanceformen unterschiedliche Beiträge zur kooperativen Zielerreichung leisten können. Zudem wird verdeutlicht, dass die Wahl der Governance unter Berücksichtigung der Beziehung zwischen den Partnern zu treffen ist. Am Beispiel verschiedener Branchen wird die kontextspezif

Overview: As one of the most widely accessible building materials available to man, natural stone has been in extensive use for many centuries. It It is a significant component, and in places the only one, of man-made structures the world over, and its properties, applications, and behavior over long periods of time constitute a story that is almost unbelievably compleX‘. Important elements of the story are described and interrelated in this volume. That the eX‘posed parts of the earth‘s crust provide a considerable variety of rock types is evident to any thoughtful observer. To the geologist

Overview: This is an edited volume of approximately 17 essays that deal with various types of spontaneous shrines and other, related public memorializations of death. The articles address events such as New York after 9/11; roadside crosses, and the use of ‘Day of the Dead‘ altars to bring attention to deceased undocumented immigrants.978-1-137-12021-2

Overview: An invaluable summary of research work done in the period from 1978 to the present“Serre’s Conjecture”, for the most part of the second half of the 20th century, - ferred to the famous statement made by J. -P. Serre in 1955, to the effect that one did not know if ?nitely generated projective modules were free over a polynomial ring k[x ,. . . ,x], where k is a ?eld. This statement was motivated by the fact that 1 n the af?ne scheme de?ned by k[x ,. . . ,x] is the algebro-geometric analogue of 1 n the af?ne n-space over k. In topology, the n-space is contractible, so there are only tr

Overview: Dass Menschenbilder in der Sozialpädagogik eine wichtige Funktion einnehmen, wurde oft behauptet, aber nie ernsthaft begründet. Die Studie untersucht im diskursiven Schnittfeld von Pädagogik und Sozialer Arbeit, was Sozialpädagogik kennzeichnet und wo sich in ihr Menschenbilder zeigen. Sozialpädagogik wird dabei nicht als Beruf oder Institution, sondern als spezifische Denk- und Handlungsform verstanden, die auf Vorstellungen gelingenden Seins bezogen ist. Damit kann wissenschaftstheoretisch wie inhaltlich auf das Identitätsproblem der Sozialpädagogik reagiert werden.978-3-658-14766-

Overview: Sowohl Profit- als auch Nonprofit-Organisationen befinden sich in einem Dilemma: Die von ökonomischen Zwecken bestimmten Profit-Organisationen müssen sich zunehmend mit Umweltveränderungen im sozialen Bereich auseinandersetzen; und die von sozialen Zwecken geleiteten Nonprofit-Organisationen müssen ökonomischen Anforderungen Rechnung tragen. Das Eingehen einer Kooperation eröffnet beiden Seiten neue Handlungsoptionenund somit einen Ausweg aus ihrer komplementären Problemlage. ..Aus systemorientierter bzw. aus entscheidungsorientierter Perspektive untersucht Elmar Pankau den Kooperati

Overview: Nominated by the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland as an outstanding PhD thesis.Describes the discovery and exploration of an unknown steric effect in the reaction between a vibratBruce Yoder’s thesis outlines his investigation of the dissociative chemisorption of methane (CH.4.) on a nickel single crystal. In this work Bruce uses a molecular beam and infrared laser techniques to prepare methane in excited rovibrational states. The excited methane molecules are aligned relative to the target nickel surface. Bruce describes the discovery and exploration of a previo

Overview: Introduces generalized trigonometric functions through an expanded notion of unit circle.Showcases new results alongside well-established theory.Engages readers with illustrations, projects, and oppor.This textbook introduces generalized trigonometric functions through the exploration of imperfect circles: curves defined by |.x.|.p. + |.y.|.p. = 1 where .p. ≥ 1. Grounded in visualization and computations, this accessible, modern perspective encompasses new and old results, casting a fresh light on duality, special functions, geometric curves, and differential equations.

Overview: As part of the preparation of the materials for this volume, the contributors attended a conference designed to explore the basic concept of symbiosis and its applicability to the study of parents and their offspring. Each participant was asked to focus not on the parental behavior of various species, but on parent and offspring as a symbiotic unit. The presentations were informal and the discussions intense. The chapters that follow were written many months after the conference and reflect the authors‘ efforts to integrate the comments and criticisms of their colleagues. Out of this
