Overview: Sociologists are increasingly aware that analyses of social life must include a consideration of how the social may be structured by the sexual. In turn, this insight is contributing to a shift in understandings of sociology. This volume - drawn from papers from the 1994 British Sociological Association Annual Conference on ‘Sexualities in Social Context‘ - brings together a range of writers who are contributing to this exciting new agenda. Various aspects of social life - including employment, family life, representations, politics, identities and the workings of the law - are consi

Overview: The semantics of concurrent systems is one of the most vigorous areas of research in theoretical computer science, but suffers from disagree­ ment due to different, and often incompatible, attitudes towards abstracting non-sequential behaviour. When confronted with process algebras, which give rise to very elegant, highly abstract and com­ positional models, traditionally based on the interleaving abstraction, some argue that the wealth of contribution they have made is partially offset by the difficulty in dealing with topics such as faimess. On the other hand, the non-interleaving

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Intended for graduate students in physics and chemistry, this book touches on granular matter, protein folding, phase separating and evolution kinetics.

Overview: Obwohl sich Fans, Spieler, Sportmanager und Medienvertreter über die große Bedeutung der Stadionatmosphäre beim Fußball weitgehend einig sind, scheint dieses Phänomen bislang für jedwede Deutung offen zu sein. Bislang ist ungeklärt, welchen Beitrag die Stadionatmosphäre zur Erklärung des Zuschauerverhaltens leisten kann...Sebastian Uhrich entwickelt den Alltagsbegriff der Stadionatmosphäre zu einem theoretisch fundierten verhaltenswissenschaftlichen Konstrukt und leitet ein Messmodell her, mit dem dieses Phänomen greifbar gemacht werden kann. Dazu identifiziert er die wesentlichen Tr
