Overview: Survey researchers have long been aware that the way in which questions are asked determines the obtained responses. However, the exact processes that mediate response effects remained elusive. In the present volume, cognitive psychologists and survey methodologists explore the cognitive processes that underlie respondents‘ answers to survey questions. The contributors provide an introduction to information processing theories for survey researchers, review current knowledge of response effects in the light of recent theorizing in cognitive psychology, and report a number of experime

Overview: Processes for recovering fresh water from the oceans - of which men have dreamed since antiquity - have changed markedly in the last 20 years. In fact, it has become possible so to increase the productivity of the technical steps involved that the cost of production of such water is almost three orders of magnitude smaller than for other large volume industrial products. However, the monographs and comprehensive reviews which have appeared to date in this field have been prepared by specialists for specialists. In accordance with the tradition and objectives of the Gmelin Handbook, t

Overview: Includes case studies demonstrating recognition of the SERENITY approach in specific types of systems.Covers adaptation of security and dependability solutions as part of ambient intelligence, while e.Security and Dependability for Ambient Intelligence is the primary publication of the SERENITY approach, which provides security and dependability (S&D) solutions for dynamic, highly distributed, heterogeneous systems. The objective of SERENITY is to enhance the security and dependability of ambient intelligence systems by providing a framework supporting the automated integration, conf

Overview: Empfehlungen für umweltverträgliche Altbaumodernisierung mit Fallbeispielen.Ein wichtiger Bereich für das Ziel eines nachhaltig zukunftsfähigen Wirtschaftens im Bedürfnisfeld "Bauen und Wohnen" ist der bisher in der Forschung wenig berücksichtigte Bereich der Altbaumodernisierung. Hierin liegen sehr große Potentiale, aber auch Hemmnisse für Maßnahmen zur Energieeinsparung. Außerdem fallen bei Neueinbau und Entsorgung erhebliche Mengen von Stoffströmen in vielfältiger Zusammensetzung und zum Teil mit problematischen Inhaltsstoffen an. Die Studie untersuchte die komplexen Strukturen, R

The book uses empirical and practical approach to tackle this issue, which is underdeveloped in the literature. Hence, it could constitute a relevant reference for SMEs managers seeking to manage their operations sustainably, e

Overview: A unique book which relates supramolecular chemistry both to its biologically inspired roots and to its success in biomedical science.Examines the link between supramolecular chemistry, biology, and t.The aim of this book is to return to the biomimicry and medicinal potential that inspired many of the early supramolecular chemists and to set it in the context of current advances in the field...Following an overview of supramolecular chemistry, the first section considers the efforts made to synthesize artificial systems that mimic biological entities. The second section addresses the

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The collection of tables and diagrams given in this volume is a contribution to a larger programme aiming at a critical, and as comprehensive as possible, tabulation of electronic structure information obtained by electron and photon spectroscopy. No such collection of photoelectron spectra and related data exists at present, and the editors hope to fill a need of both experimentalists and theoreticians in various fields of solid state research. Besides the photoelectron results, also a limited set of other data (like lattice constants and work functi

Overview: A vivid exploration of the history of a very powerful and long lasting idea: building European worlds outside of Europe. Veracini outlines how the founding of new societies was envisaged and practiced and explores the specific ways in which settler colonial projects tried to establish ideal and regenerated political bodies.978-0-230-29919-1Series ISSN 2635-1633 Series E-ISSN 2635-1641

Overview: Computer simulation has developed into a powerful tool for problem solving in a variety of areas, in the sciences as well as in industrial environments. New developments such as parallel simulation techniques will further improve the efficiency of the tool. Decision support systems, either based on mathematical models or on knowledge based expert systems will make computer simulation accessible to more users, and will provide better environments for systems analysis, modeling and simulation. .Systems Analysis and . .Simulation. presents the papers accepted for the 3rd International S

Overview: Provides a more realistic appreciation and understanding of East German economic history.Offers fresh, new perspectives on a topic that has yet to seize potential of an important strand of economic th.East Germany’s economic history is typically told as a story of the unravelling of an inherently flawed system. Yet, while the system’s inefficiency is undeniable, its economic history was much richer than its comparatively poor economic performance suggests. For many who lived there, it was a system that, over its forty years, was capable of achievements and generally functioned at bea
