Overview: This book is intended to guide practicing structural engineers familiar with ear­ lier ACI building codes into more profitable routine designs with the ACI 1995 Building Code (ACI 318-95). Each new ACI Building Code expresses the latest knowledge of reinforced concrete in legal language for safe design application. Beginning in 1956 with the introduction of ultimate strength design, each new code offered better uti­ lization of high-strength reinforcement and the compressive strength of the con­ crete itself. Each new code thus permitted more economy as to construction material, but

Overview: Analog-to-digital (A/D) converters are key components indigital signal processing (DSP) systems and are therefore receivingmuch attention as DSP becomes increasingly prevalent in telephony,audio, video, consumer products, etc. The varying demands onconversion rate, resolution and other characteristics have inspired alarge number of competing A/D conversion techniques. .Sigma DeltaModulators: Nonlinear. .Decoding Algorithms and StabilityAnalysis. is concerned with the particular class of A/D techniquescalled oversampled noise-shaping (ONS) that has recently come intoprominence for a n

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-98352-8978-3-642-99164-6

Die allgemeinen theoretischen Grundlagen der  Selbstreferenz als administratives Handlungsprinzip beruhen auf einer Synthese zwischen der soziologischen Systemtheorie, der Komplexitätstheorie und dem Funktionalismus. Wissenschaftstheoretisch findet die adminis

Overview: Offers ecologically compatible and environmentally friendly strategies.Highlights nanotechnology as a prominent tool for enhancing agricultural productivity.Details the molecular mechanisms associatedCrop plants growing under field conditions are constantly exposed to various abiotic and biotic stress factors leading to decreased yield and quality of produce. In order to achieve sustainable development in agriculture and to increase agricultural production for feeding an increasing global population, it is necessary to use ecologically compatible and environmentally friendly strategi

Overview: This book presents information and ideas about the role and organisation of social workers in selected EC countries particularly, but not exclusively, France and Germany. Comparisons are made of national policies and practice in relation to specific client groups; and new concerns requiring common responses are identified. This discussion is put in the context of an emerging social agenda of the European Community. The authors argue that EC social policies in relation to citizenship, participation and marginalisation are consistent with the aims and concerns of social workers, and re

Overview: Eine empirische Untersuchungen zu Fallbearbeitungen in der SozialhilfeRahel Müller de Menezes erforscht das professionelle sozialarbeiterische/sozialpädagogische Handeln im administrativ-organisatorischen Kontext am Beispiel von Fachkräften in Sozialdiensten in der Schweiz. In der empirischen Untersuchung konnten vier Typen von Vorgehensweisen bei der Fallbearbeitung rekonstruiert werden, die sich bezüglich ihrem Unterstützungspotenzial für die KlientInnen erheblich unterscheiden. Der anwaltschaftliche Typ fallspezifische Passung entspricht den Kriterien sozialarbeiterischer Professi

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .The author develops a deformation theory for degenerations of complex curves; specifically, he treats deformations which induce splittings of the singular fiber of a degeneration. He constructs a deformation of the degeneration in such a way that a subdivisor is "barked" (peeled) off from the singular fiber. These "barking deformations" are related to deformations of surface singularities (in particular, cyclic quotient singularities) as well as the mapping class groups of Riemann surfaces (complex curves) via monodromies. Important applications, suc

Overview: In the past the aim of Structure Reports has been to present critical reports on all work of crystallographic structural interest, whether it is derived directly from X-ray, electron, or neutron diffraction, or even indirectly from other experiments. The reports were in­ tended to be critical and not mere abstracts, except in some cases when a brief indication of the content of a paper of related interest was included in the form of an abstract. In selecting topics for reporting, the criterion ‘of structural interest‘ was freely interpreted in terms of what was topically interesting.

Overview: This book has grown out of our shared experience in the development of the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (SSRL), based on the electron-positron storage ring SPEAR at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) starting in Summer, 1973. The immense potential of the photon beam from SPEAR became obvious as soon as experiments using the beam started to run in May, 1974. The rapid growth of interest in using the beam since that time and the growth of other facilities using high-energy storage rings (see Chapters 1 and 3) demonstrates how the users of this source of radiatio
