Overview: Insects as a group occupy a middle ground in the biosphere between bacteria and viruses at one extreme, amphibians and mammals at the other. The size and gen­ eral nature of insects present special problems to the student of entomology. For example, many commercially available instruments are geared to measure in grams, while the forces commonly encountered in studying insects are in the mil­ ligram range. Therefore, techniques developed in the study of insects or in those fields concerned with the control of insect pests are often unique. Methods for measuring things are common to a

Overview: Statistical approach to spatial econometrics.Easily accessible to people with low statistical background.Didactic approach motivating the readers with examples and real data analysis.Includes supplemeIn recent years the so-called new economic geography and the issue of regional economic convergence have increasingly drawn the interest of economists to the empirical analysis of regional and spatial data. However, even if the methodology for econometric treatment of spatial data is well developed, there does not exist a textbook theoretically grounded, well motivated and easily accessi

Overview: Using structured activities and self-checks to encourage students to try different methods and strategies, this book attempts to help students to make the best use of study time. It lays particular emphasis on research methods, and offers a case-study approach to the interpretation of statistics.

Overview: The purpose of this monograph is to illuminate the central issues of dynamic analysis applied to economic models, using a generally accepted language of the study of dynamical systems at a level of sophistication likely to be understood by an economist versed in elementary topology. Whether an economic system is governed by a first order difference equation or several simultaneous multivalued partial differential equations, its solution is a flow that determines the state of the system given an initial condition and elapsed time. Thus the flow of a system is the central concept from

Overview: Ein unentbehrliches Arbeitsmittel für die PrüfungsvorbereitungDas Buch beginnt mit einer Wiederholung des linguistischen Basiswissens zur Syntax. Daran schließen sich Einzelkapitel zu den zentralen Fragestellungen an. Auf einseitig theoriegebundene Analysemethoden wird dabei bewußt verzichtet, Informationen hierzu können mit der kommentierten Bibliographie leicht erschlossen werden. Jedes Einzelkapitel bietet konkrete Anweisungen für Arbeitstechniken, Lösungsstrategien und Prüfungsfragen zur selbständigen Lernzielkontrolle. Dies macht das Werk zu einem unentbehrlichen Arbeitsmittel b

Overview: Provides a unique comparative perspective on social stratification in Central European countries.Uses large surveys so far not used in this research area.Offers a comprehensive picture of development This book provides a comparative and contemporary account of social stratification in the Central European states of Czechia, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia (the Visegrad Four – V4 group), and also by contrast with Austria. It looks at the shared history of these countries as part of the erstwhile Austro-Hungarian Empire. While the V4 states experienced, for decades, the regressive author

Overview: Surface Active Agents (surfactants) are vital components in biological systems, form key ingredients in consumer products and play an important role in many industrial processes. For example, cell membranes owe their structure to the aggregation of surfactants known as lipids which form a major component of the membrane. Other natural surfactants occur in the digestive system, in the lungs, and even in such substances as crude oil. Man-made surfactants are used in a wide range of domestic and industrial products and processes. In addition to detergents and personal care products, sur

Overview: First book to apply a specific model of situated learning in intepreter education.Provides a theoretical foundation to the concepts that underlie the situated learning approach to education.DemonstratThis book provides a theoretical and pragmatic guide to the use of situated learning within structured interpreting programs. Proponents of situated learning theory believe that meaningful learning occurs when students interact with others in the social contexts in which they will be working. With such interactions, students have the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge to au

Since 1994, the NFIP has included a Flood Mitigation Assistance

Overview: This elegantly written book explores the tension between the theory and practice of art, taking issue with the approaches of the New Art History and its deconstructionist critics. It critically examines influential social theories of art from the viewpoint of the artworlds they target and, through a consideration of work by Rorty, Bauman, Gadamer and others, develops a new and fruitful set of connections between ethical, social and art theory that gives central importance to reflexivity as a living and problematic, as well as a theoretical, concept.
