Overview: Provides a comprehensive introduction to astronomical spectrographs and spectroscopy.Shows all equations with their full derivations such that it is very transparent how basic theory connects with use.In order to analyze the light of cosmic objects, particularly at extremely great distances, spectroscopy is the workhorse of astronomy. In the era of very large telescopes, long-term investigations are mainly performed with small professional instruments. Today they can be done using self-designed spectrographs and highly efficient CCD cameras, without the need for large financial inves

Overview: There has been growing acceptance of the insight that the methods so far used in the testing of visual functions have been inadequate when it comes to specific problems and should, therefore, be supplemented with more specialised methods for dynamic testing. As long as two decades ago, large-scale mass screening produced evidence to the effect that visual acuity, so far exclusively determined by means of still samples, was not identical with visual acuity in the ocular pursuit of moving targets (dynamic visual acuity). In other words, vision testing can, at present, provide little in

Overview: Eine wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Studie.Vor dem Hintergrund bisheriger Zurückhaltung von Wohneigentümern bei der energetischen Gebäudesanierung untersucht Mart Verhoog wie Baubeteiligte und Baubeteiligten-Netzwerke die Sanierungsentscheidung von Wohneigentümern beeinflussen.

Overview: Second edition features a new chapter on perturbed random walks, which are modeled as random walks plus “noise”.Presents updates to the first edition, including an outlook on further results, extensio.Classical probability theory provides information about random walks after a fixed number of steps. For applications, however, it is more natural to consider random walks evaluated after a .random. number of steps. Examples are sequential analysis, queueing theory, storage and inventory theory, insurance risk theory, reliability theory, and the theory of counters. .Stopped Random Walks:

Overview: The first extensive introduction to screening and preventive diagnosis using radiological imaging.Discusses in depth the most important practical examples of radiological screening and surveillance, b.Continuous technical developments of radiological imaging techniques have not only improved the potential of organ-based radiological diagnostics, but now also allow for dedicated whole-body exams which may be used in the field of screening and preventive diagnosis. The concept of this book is to provide clinicians with a broader understanding of screening and preventive diagnosis using

Overview: This study is a comparative analysis of the relationship between social structure and party choice in eight West European countries. Oddbjørn Knutsen analyzes the comparative strength of social structural variables, and how these have changed from the early 1970s to the late 1990s. Other factors that are considered include for which parties the structural variables have the largest impact within the various party systems and across national contexts, and for which parties are the most significant change in support from various social groups found.978-1-349-51652-0978-0-230-50364-9

Overview: .Scientific Visualization of Physical Phenomena. reflects the special emphasis of the Computer Graphics Society‘s Ninth International Conference, held at the MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA in June, 1991. This volume contains the proceedings of the conference, which, since its foundation in 1983, continues to attract high quality research articles in all aspects of Computer Graphics and its applications. Visualization in science and engineering is rapidly developing into a vital area because of its potential for significantly contributing to the understanding of physical process

Overview: The first account of the secret police in Eastern Europe and after 1989, this book uses a wide range of sources, including archives, to identify what has and has not changed since the end of communism. After explaining the structure and workings of two of the area‘s most feared services, Czechoslovakia‘s StB and Romania‘s Securitate, the authors details the creation of new security intelligence institutions, the development of contacts with the West, and forms of democratic control.978-1-349-40310-3978-1-4039-0536-9Series ISSN 2946-868X Series E-ISSN 2946-8698

Overview: The abdominal wall has always been of interest to surgeon-anato­ mists. It was recognized as a barrier, and volumes have been written demonstrating how to breach this wall. Similarly, great importance has been placed on the methods of repairing the abdominal wall, whether that repair is necessitated by a primary operative wound, a congenital failure, an acquired defect, or the ubiquitous iatrogenic problem, the postoperative abdominal wall hernia. French surgeons have a long tradition of excellence in the field of human anatomy: the names of Pare, Bichat, Cloquet, and Fru­ chaud read

Overview: .The sensor cloud is a new model of computing paradigm for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which facilitates resource sharing and provides a platform to integrate different sensor networks where multiple users can build their own sensing applications at the same time. It enables a multi-user on-demand sensory system, where computing, sensing, and wireless network resources are shared among applications. Therefore, it has inherent challenges for providing security and privacy across the sensor cloud infrastructure. With the integration of WSNs with different ownerships, and users run

Der Simulant besitztdaherdas wichtigste Merkmal für den naturwissenschaftlichen Begriff Simulation, bei dem ebenfalls in Modellspielen mit einfachen Spielregeln die Realität imitiert wird. Ein Modell ist immer durch die Anzahl seiner Parameter begrenzt, kann also niemals allgemeingültig sein.

Overview: There is little prospect of an immediate cure for cancer. The seeds of destruction seem to be sown within all of us, and there is no consensus about how these seeds develop into tumors or about what can be done to halt that development. Indeed, it is often difficult to find a consensus about any aspect of cancer research. The sharply conflicting views of investigators in different subdisciplines has been most aptly summarized by Charles Heidelberger of the McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research, who argues that "the mechanism of cancer is a mirror into which each man looks and sees h

Overview: The voices speaking here represent an extraordinary group of South Africans: those whites - a minority within a minority - who have been struggling against the injustices of apartheid and working in separate ways to prepare their countrymen, black and white, for a just and democratic post-apartheid society. This book captures their stories at a critical time, when apartheid is being dismantled but the structure of the new South Africa has yet to be determined.978-1-349-22458-6978-1-349-22456-2
