Overview: The first introduction to soft matter physics.Interdisciplinary approach.Attractive book in the style of best selling "Fractals and Disordered Systems" and "Fractals in Science".Written by leading expIn a liquid crystal watch, the molecules contained within a thin film of the screen are reorientated each second by extremely weak electrical signals. Here is a fine example of soft matter: molecular systems giving a strong response to a very weak command signal. They can be found almost everywhere. Soft magnetic materials used in transformers exhibit a strong magnetic moment under the a

Overview: Provides various statistical methods applied on texts in various fields in behavioral science.Offers an introduction to the theory and methods of quantitative semantics.Indispensable book for cognitivThis book discusses the application of various statistical methods to texts, rather than numbers, in various fields in behavioral science. It proposes an approach where quantitative methods are applied to data whereas previously such data were analyzed only by qualitative research methods. To emphasize the quantitative aspects of semantics, and the possibilities of conducting scientific

Overview: The evolution of systems in random media is a broad and fruitful field for the applica­ tions of different mathematical methods and theories. This evolution can be character­ ized by a semigroup property. In the abstract form, this property is given by a semigroup of operators in a normed vector (Banach) space. In the practically boundless variety of mathematical models of the evolutionary systems, we have chosen the semi-Markov ran­ dom evolutions as an object of our consideration. The definition of the evolutions of this type is based on rather simple initial assumptions. The rando

Overview: Das Verstehen und Beherrschen der Multiplikation gehört zu den zentralen Kompetenzen, die Schüler und Schülerinnen am Ende der Grundschule erreicht haben sollen. In dieser Arbeit wird eine empirische Studie vorgestellt, die Lösungswege bei der Multiplikation zweistelliger Zahlen erfasst und die Strategieverwendung unter Berücksichtigung auftretender Fehler untersucht. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurden Rechenstrategien und Fehler bei der Bearbeitung von Multiplikationsaufgaben zweistelliger Zahlen umfassend kategorisiert und ausgewertet. Dafür wurden etwa 10.000 Lösungswege von 2000 Kinde

Overview: Comprehensive coverage of the key developments leading to the introduction of simulators in healthcare professional education and training around the globe.Access to historical Latin, French, German, Simulation in healthcare education has a long history, yet in many ways, we have been reinventing the wheel during the last 25 years. Historically, simulators have been much more than simple models, and we can still learn from aspects of simulation used hundreds of years ago. This book gives a narrative history of the development of simulators from the early 1700s to the middle of the 20

Overview: Never so pleased, sir. ‘Twas an excellent dance, And for a preface, I never heard a better. Two Noble Kinsmen, Act III, Sc.S This volume is based mostly on the lectures delivered at an Advanced Study Institute (ASI) of the same title held in July 1977. One lecture given is not in the volume and three chapters, although not based on lectures delivered, have been added to better balance the book. A chapter on the ecosensory functions in crustaceans could not be put in due to time contingency. This absence is deeply regretted. The idea to hold an ASI on Sensory Ecology evolved slowly, m

Overview: This and its companion volumes 7,8, and 10 document the proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Surfactants in Solution (SIS) held in New Delhi, India, August 18-22, 1986 under the joint auspices of the Indian Society for Surface Science and Technology, and Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. As this symposium was a landmark -- it represented the tenth anniversary of this series of symposia -- so it is very apropos to reflect on how these symposia have evolved to their present size and status. The pedigree of this series of symposia goes back to 1976 when the premier sym
