Overview: My interest in the issues considered here arose out of my great frustration in trying to attack the all-pervasive relativism of my students in introductory ethics courses at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. I am grateful to my students for forcing me to take moral relativism and skepticism seriously and for compelling me to argue for my own dogmatically maintained version of moral objectivism. The result is before the reader. The conclusions reached here (which can be described either as a minimal objectivism or as a moderate verson of relativism) are considerably

Since the beginning of the European integration process, they have been used to combat trade practices which are considered "unfair" and their distortive effects on competition in the internal market. However, while the imposition of trade defence measures aims to lev

Overview: Water policy, environmental governance and resource management are getting increasing attention at universities in student classes, courses for graduates, post-graduates and PhD-students.Broad perspec.All over the world countries struggle with water stress. Problems vary from water scarcity and a degrading water quality, to floods and a rising sea level due to climate change. The European Union adopted a Water Framework Directive to improve the sustainability of water management in its member states. Water management should be coordinated at the level of river basins as a whole. Inte

Overview: The early part of the 21st century has been marked by widespread social upheaval and geographical displacement of people.

Overview: Explores political marketing in the ‘new‘ European democracies.Captures the unique features that marked electoral campaigns in each of the countries examined.Employs a comparative approach on regional.This edited volume maps the development of the use of political campaigning and marketing techniques in countries of the former Communist Bloc over the last thirty years. Focusing on the shift from propaganda to political marketing, and from manipulation to persuasion, the book consists of a series of case studies of countries in Central Europe, Eastern Europe, the Baltics, and the Balk

Overview: Results can be applied to practical problems using readily available linear-matrix-inequality toolboxes.Enriches understanding of new work in multidimensional systems theory.Worked examples in each ch.A solution permitting the stabilization of 2-dimensional (2-D) continuous-time saturated system under state feedback control is presented in this book. The problems of delay and saturation are treated at the same time. The authors obtain novel results on continuous 2-D systems using the unidirectional Lyapunov function. The control synthesis and the saturation and delay conditions are p

Overview: In the fall of 1983, we began to organize a symposium entitled "General Social Psychological Theories of Group Behavior." Our goal was to encourage the extension and application of basic current social psychology to group behavior. The symposium was presented in the spring of 1984 at the Eastern Psychological Association convention in Baltimore and the interest that it generated led to discussions with colleagues and friends about similar efforts by social psychologists, eventually resulting in the present book. Some clarification about the contents is in order. First, the theories p

Overview: Mathematical models of networks and queuing systems (QS) are widely used for the study and optimization of various technical, physical, economics, industrial, and administrative systems.Authors concenThis book is dedicated to the systematization and development of models, methods, and algorithms for queuing systems with correlated arrivals. After first setting up the basic tools needed for the study of queuing theory, the authors concentrate on complicated systems: multi-server systems with phase type distribution of service time or single-server queues with arbitrary distribution of

Overview: Nominated by the Chinese University of Hong Kong as an outstanding PhD thesis.Novel and useful methodology for synthesizing highly substituted cyclic peroxides.Extends the field of Pd-catalyzed reactiIn his thesis, Xiaoyu Sun conducts the first total synthesis of all possible stereoisomers of plakortide E and also confirms the absolute configuration of natural plakortide E. Xiaoyu Sun subsequently converts Plakortide E methyl ester to plakortone B in a biomimetic conversion. Construction and functionalization of cyclic peroxides are notoriously difficult due to the very low O-O bond

Overview: This book commemorates the appearance one hundred years ago ofa paper on slow viscous flow, written by the physicist and Nobellaureate H.A. Lorentz. Although Lorentz is not remembered by most as afluid dynamicist - indeed, his fame rests primarily on hiscontributions to the theory of electrons, electrodynamics and earlydevelopments in relativity - his fluid-mechanics paper of 1896contains many ideas which have remained important in fluid mechanicsto this very day. In that short paper he put forward his reciprocaltheorem (an integral-equation formulation which is used extensivelynowad

Overview: Written by experts, Gives a modern approach, Comprehensive in ScopeThe rise of knowledge workers has been widely heralded but there has been little research on their actual learning practices. This book provides the first systematic comparative study of the formal and informal learning of different professional groups, with a particular focus on teachers. Drawing on unique large-scale national surveys of working conditions and learning practices in Canada, teachers are compared with doctors and lawyers, nurses, engineers and computer programmers, as well as other professionals. The c

Overview: If the plans concerning EMU will be realised, by 2002 nationalcurrencies will be replaced by the Euro and national central bankswill be partially replaced by the European Central Bank. The Politicsof Economic and Monetary Union starts with the argument that EMU ismore a political than an economic project. It develops this theme byaddressing five different questions. .First, precisely what is the general role of EMU in the globalisingpolitical economy? Second, how EMU will change the power relations andthe relationship between `political‘ and `economic‘? Third, whateffects will EMU ha

Overview: I gladly take this opportunity to convey my heartfelt thanks to those who have guided me on my way as an undergraduate and who have enabled me through their teachings and friendly advice to proceed to preparing for this doctorate thesis. I should like first of all to thank Prof. C. L. Wrenn, M. A., now of Pembroke College, Oxford, who has always been extremely helpful to me and who was generous enough to admit me to the Honours English Course at King‘s College, University of London. After moving to Oxford he still found time to show interest in my progress and on more than one occasi

Kearney management cons.The “golden” age of purchasing, in which it was relatively easy to achieve annual cost reductions of between one and three percent, has come to an end.

Overview: Explores how French deputies (and the French parliament more generally) have adapted to France’s EU membership.Engages with literatures of emotion, motivation and role in addition to more classical in.This book explores how the European Union has changed the French Parliament since 1992. It supports the view that the institutional adaptation of both assemblies to European affairs is largely superficial as it lacks a genuine involvement from members of parliament.

Overview: The most violent aspects of the Revolution, the most costly in life, were the result of the conflict between Revolution and Counter-Revolution. A large part of the French people felt betrayed by a Revolution which did nothing for them and which represented an attack on their way of life. The rebellions which this provoked, and their savage repression, marked the political map of France for over a century. At the same time the doctrines of Counter-Revolution, which offered a positive alternative to the Revolution, were being developed in exile by royal and aristocratic migrs. This boo
