Overview: This book takes a somewhat different view of international or diplomatic history by concentrating on the more profound elements of sino-foreign relations, namely the economic and the commercial, especially with regard to Britain and France. The immediate post-revolutionary period in China is viewed here in the wider context of Britain and France‘s post-imperial decline and expressions such as ‘imperialism imprisoned‘ and ‘captive capitalism‘ are some new and interchangeable terms employed in this context. In contrast to the traditional interpretation that Chinese policies regarding t

Over forty years after its construction, with obsolete technology, scarce maintenance and many out-of-service machineries, it was still present during the whole campaign with a prominent role that, for several reasons, remained hidden until today.. .During the Falklands/

Overview: Explains the underlying process leading to the selection of inferior or unworthy transportation infrastructure mega-projects.Relies on an economic analysis of empirical data sets and cases.Recommends This book explores the various economic and institutional factors that explain why huge investments are made in unworthy transportation mega-projects in the US and other countries. It is based on research, the general literature, economic analyses, and results from a specifically collected database showing that a significant proportion of implemented mega-projects have been found to be i

Overview: Provides a detailed overview of the range of biomarker technologies as written by leading researchers in the field.Useful both for researchers interested in new tumor biomarkers and physicians seekingBiomarkers are molecular indicators of a biological status and, as biochemical species, can be interrogated to evaluate disease status and therapeutic interventions. Biomarkers may be detectable in the blood, other body fluids, or tissues. The expectation is that the level of an informative biomarker is related to the specific type of disease present in the body. Hence, disease-relevant

Overview: Presents recent research on control and filtering in time dependent switched discrete-time linear systems.Focuses on the basic control and filtering synthesis problems for discrete-time switched linea.This book focuses on the basic control and filtering synthesis problems for discrete-time switched linear systems under time-dependent switching signals. Chapter 1, as an introduction of the book, gives the backgrounds and motivations of switched systems, the definitions of the typical time-dependent switching signals, the differences and links to other types of systems with hybrid char

Overview: This book constitutes the thoroughly revised post-workshop proceedings of the first annual workshop held under the auspices of the ESPRIT Working Group 21900 TYPES in Aussois, France in December 1996..The 18 revised full papers presented in the book were carefully reviewed and selected from the 30 papers accepted for presentation at the workshop. All current aspects of type theory and type systems and their applications to program verification and theorem proving are addressed; the proof systems and theorem provers dealt with include Coq, LEGO, and Isabelle/HOL.978-3-540-65137-6978-3

Overview: The articles which make up this book were all expressly written to honor a remarkable man and a remarkable psychologist, Joseph McVicker Hunt, on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The contributors to this volume, with the exception of Hunt‘s teacher, J. P. Guilford, are students and colleagues of Hunt‘s whose intellectual and professional paths have crossed his in some significant way. In terms of content, the contributions collectively range across many of the conventional boundaries that demarcate the territories into which psy­ chological subject-matter has been divided. In so do

Overview: Explores the Chinese Middle Class for the first time in print.Identifies the group that have come into being as a result of Chinese urbanization.Reveals the realities of Chinese urbanization to WesterThis book portrays the middle class in contemporary China with plain language and precise professional knowledge in an all-round, broad and responsible way from the perspectives of income, property, profession, education, consumption, investment, physiological and behavioral characteristics, history and development. It gives, in a logical order, the reasons for stimulating the rise of th

Overview: This book on Banach space theory focuses on what have been called three-space problems. It contains a fairly complete description of ideas, methods, results and counterexamples. It can be considered self-contained, beyond a course in functional analysis and some familiarity with modern Banach space methods. It will be of interest to researchers for its methods and open problems, and to students for the exposition of techniques and examples.978-3-540-63344-0978-3-540-69519-6Series ISSN 0075-8434 Series E-ISSN 1617-9692

Overview: The latest advances in science were fully exploited in the Second World War. They included radar, sonar, improved radio, methods of reducing disease, primitive computers, the new science of operational research and, finally, the atomic bomb, necessarily developed like all wartime technology in a remarkably short time. Such progress would have been impossible without the cooperation of Allied scientists with the military. The Axis powers‘ failure to recognise this was a major factor in their defeat.978-1-4039-0643-4978-0-230-59617-7

Overview: Provides an in-depth discussion of the history, development, design and implementation of modern knee prostheses.Each chapter gives details of the origins of the ideas and principles and their rationaSpanning both the history and future of knee replacement, this unique book recounts how artificial knees have reached the stage they are today, and whether their performance can be further improved. The author, who has been designing artificial knees for 50 years, starts the story in the late 1960’s with the early pioneers; during the 1970’s, the principles for successful artificial knee

Overview: Shows an original theory of the legal order as a hierarchy of morphological levels.Offers a broader approach than usual to the investigation of statutory interpretation.Represents a goundbreaking appr.In this monograph a fundamental distinction is made between law and juridical thinking. Law is the content of legal rules and the systems of legal rules. Juridical thinking is the handling of the law by the lawyers. To this distinction corresponds a basic distinction between the language of law and the language of juridical thinking, and correlatively, between L-concepts (law concepts)

Overview: This book is designed as a textbook for students who need tofulfil their science requirements. Part I explores classical physicsfrom its beginnings with Descartes, Galileo, Kepler, and Newton, tothe relativity theories of Einstein. Special emphasis is given to thedevelopment of the objective, materialist, and deterministic worldviewof classical physics. The influence of Newtonian physics on otherfields of science and on society is emphasized. Finally, some of theproblems with the worldview of classical physics are discussed and apreview of quantum physics is given.978-1-4613-5450-597

Overview: When phagocytes are exposed to a number of different stimuli, they undergo dra­ matic changes in the way they process oxygen. Oxygen uptake increases markedly, frequently more than 50-fold; the phagocytes begin to produce large quantities of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide; and they immediately begin to metabolize large amounts of glucose by way of the hexose monophosphate shunt. This series of changes has become known as the respiratory burst. It was first believed that the major function of this respiratory burst was to generate powerful antibacterial agents by the partial reducti

Overview: Through the combined effects of certain natural facts (connected with the passage of time), institutional acts (performed at various points within the university system) and bonds offriendship (forged over quite a number ofyears ofacademic life), I have lately become an occasional writer of forewords. It is certainly not a kind of work that dis­ pleases me; but it would be too much to say that I have learned to do it with ease. Quite to the contrary! Writing a foreword is, it seems to me, an example ofa rather complex action (al­ though, of course, much less complex than writing the
