Overview: .As well as conveying a message in words and sounds, the speech signal carries information about the speaker‘s own anatomy, physiology, linguistic experience and mental state. These speaker characteristics are found in speech at all levels of description: from the spectral information in the sounds to the choice of words and utterances themselves....This volume and its companion volume, LNAI 4441, constitute a state-of-the-art survey for the field of speaker classification. They approach the following questions: What characteristics of the speaker become manifest in his or her voice

Overview: The principle objective of this book is to help undergraduate students in the analysis of genetic problems. Many students have a great deal of difficulty doing genetic analysis, and the book will be useful regardless of which genetics text is being used. Most texts provide some kinds of problems and answers: few, if any, however, show the students how to actually solve the problem. Often the student has no idea how the answer was derived. This work emphasizes solutions, not just answers. The strategy is to provide the student with the essential steps and the reasoning involved in con

Overview: .Stochastic Processes: General Theory. starts with thefundamental existence theorem of Kolmogorov, together with several ofits extensions to stochastic processes. It treats the functiontheoretical aspects of processes and includes an extended account ofmartingales and their generalizations. Various compositions of (quasi-or semi-)martingales and their integrals are given. Here the Bochnerboundedness principle plays a unifying role: a unique feature of thebook. Applications to higher order stochastic differential equationsand their special features are presented in detail. Stochasticp

Overview: Topical theme in present political climate. Well established author. Widespread market across a range of disciplinesChanges in ideas about social welfare have required caring professions to adapt their practices in ways which have challenged their underlying values and their relationships with service users. Focusing on nursing, remedial therapy and social work, this book examines core social values expressed through policy.The implications of these ideas for the caring professions in social welfare are explored, as are important questions about the use of industrial and commercial m

Overview: A profound and logical system to illustrate service science connotation Introducing soft elements such as service vision and entrepreneurship into service science.Merging foundational theories and app.A service economy era is coming! As the basic discipline of service dominant era, service science mainly studies common rules of service activities, aiming to provide theoretical bases for creating service value in the new era. The book, which integrates knowledge of service management, operational management, logistics and supply chain management, constructs a research system for this

Overview: Provides an insightful analysis of the sources of hysteresis in Spanish regional unemployment.Shows how econometric techniques allow to decompose the observed unemployment rate series into an idiosyncThis work investigates the time series properties of the unemployment rate of the Spanish regions over the period 1976-2011. For that purpose, the authors employ the PANIC procedures of Bai and Ng (2004), which allows to decompose the observed unemployment rate series into common factor and idiosyncratic components. This enables the authors to identify the exact source behind the hystere

Overview: Highlighting recent progress in the design of supervisors by structural methods, the book represents a novel contribution to the field.A focus on both theory and practice: formal proofs are provided i.Increasing complexity in engineering projects raises difficult challenges in industry and requires effective tools for correct-by-construction design or design verification. This book addresses the design of such tools for correct-by-construction synthesis of supervisors for systems and specifications represented in the discrete-event framework. The approach employed uses Petri nets as

Overview: This book is intended as an introductory text on Solid Mechanics suitable for engineers, scientists and applied mathematicians. Solid mechanics is treated as a subset of mathematical engineering and courses on this topic which include theoretical, numerical and experimental aspects (as this text does) can be amongst the most interesting and accessible that an undergraduate science student can take. I have concentrated entirely on linear elasticity being, to the beginner, the most amenable and accessible aspect of solid mechanics. It is a subject with a long history, though its develo

Overview: Um die finanziellen Konsequenzen von Steuerreformen im Bereich der Unternehmensbesteuerung abschätzen zu können, bedarf es leistungsfähiger quantitativer Ansätze. Timo Reister entwickelt mit dem ZEW TaxCoMM ein Mikrosimulationsmodell, mit dessen Hilfe sich Belastungs-, Aufkommens- und Verteilungsfolgen von Steuerreformen ermitteln lassen. Der Autor zeigt für die Reform 2008, dass es trotz der ertragsteuerlichen Tarifsenkungen unter den Unternehmen eine beträchtliche Anzahl von Reformverlierern gibt, die finanziellen Mehrbelastungen ausgesetzt sind.978-3-8349-1824-6978-3-8349-8303-9

Overview: Provides a renewed attempt to learn from the failure of the classic and once dominant secularization theories.Introduces inter-state relations, state agency and inter-religious relations into the deba.Since 2001, history has proven the classic and once dominant theories of secularization wrong. Instead of abandoning the subject of secularization, Niels Reeh’s Secularization Revisited demonstrates how the collapse of formerly dominant secularization theories indicates fundamental conceptual challenges within sociology. Through a historical sociological case study of the political deci
