Overview: Addresses the emerging area of manipulation in professional sports by bringing a collection of original contributions together in one volume for the first time.Provides an interdisciplinary approach, . ..Sport has enjoyed steadily increasing prominence and economic importance since the Millennium. But threats to its integrity appear to have grown in parallel, undermining the very sense of innocence and fun which is an important part of its appeal. Threats to the spirit of sport come from internal, external and even state actors, who seek either to manipulate events on the field or to

Overview: Represents the first complete collection of theoretical and practical data on transcatheter paravalvular leak closure, including detailed descriptions of techniques and available devices.A comprehensi.Representing the first book to offer complete coverage of all related topics, this title provides up-to-date guidance on exactly why, when, and how to perform transcatheter paravalvular leak closure. An international panel of leading experts in the field address the entire spectrum of associated problems, from relevant anatomy, to imaging methods, to implantation techniques, to a compre

Overview: Original perspective in substance use disorders: this is the first book on phenomenological psychopathology of substance misuse.Original structure: the book is divided into three parts that can be rea.This book contributes to one of the most challenging areas of mental health: substance misuse. Its focus is on the psychopathological experiences associated with it: both the consequences of substance misuse and the existential vulnerabilities that lead to it, even if such a clear-cut distinction is rarely possible. The work brings an innovative perspective to the issue, as it draws on

Overview: This book provides a critical and theoretically-informed assessment of the nature and types of structural change occurring in the Irish welfare state in the context of the 2008 economic crisis. Its overarching framework for conceptualising and analysing welfare state change and its political, economic and social implications is based around four crucial questions, namely what welfare is for, who delivers welfare, who pays for welfare, and who benefits.  Over the course of ten chapters, the authors examine the answers as they relate to social protection, labour market activation, pens

Overview: It is arguable that most of chemistry and a large portion of atomic physics is concemed with the behaviour of the 92 naturally occurring elements in each of 3 charge states (+1, 0, -1); 276 distinct species. The world of multiply and highly charged ions provides a further 4186 species for us to study. Over 15 times as many! It is the nature of human beings to explore the unknown. This nature is par­ ticularly strong in physicists although this may not be readily apparent because theses explorations are undertaken in somewhat abstract ‘spaces‘. It is, then, no surprise that we have be

Overview: Nominated by Peking University as an Excellent Doctoral Dissertation.Describes the synthesis of synthetically useful N-heterocycles using Zr/Si-containing intermediate as a "chemical transformer", whi.In this thesis, the author introduces two strategies used to construct various types of N-heterocycles, based on the chemistry of zirconacycles and 2,6-diazasemibullvalenes. In the first part, the author presents the development of multi-component cyclization of a zirconacyclobutene-silacyclobutene fused compound, nitriles and unsaturated compounds. These reactions provide synthetically

Overview: Driven by the request for increased productivity, flexibility,and competitiveness, modern civilization increasingly has createdhigh-performance discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs). These systemsexhibit concurrent, sequential, competitive activities among theircomponents. They are often complex and large in scale, and necessarilyflexible and thus highly capital-intensive. Examples of systems aremanufacturing systems, communication networks, traffic and logisticsystems, and military command and control systems. Modeling andperformance evaluation play a vital role in the design and o

Overview: First book on theoretical femtosecond physics.Covers the basics and numeric solutions.Both a reference work for scientists and a study text for graduate students.Includes supplementary material: .Theoretical femtosecond physics is a new field of research. Theoretical investigations of atoms and molecules interacting with pulsed or continuous wave lasers of up to atomic field strengths are leading to an understanding of many challenging experimental discoveries. Laser-matter interaction is treated on a nonperturbative level in the book using approximate and numerical solutions of the

Overview: Comprehensive description and comparison of tumor ablation methods.Conceptual and practical aspects of cancer immunotherapy.Combination treatments of cancer.The growing knowledge on tumor-immune response interactions and on the tumor microenvironment did not translate so far into better control of cancer by anti-tumor vaccination. The percentage of patients who benefited from vaccination strategies is still too small to justify their general use. It is the aim of this book to present an alternative to the conventional approach of developing injected tumor vaccines to activate anti-tu

Overview: Scientists not infrequently succumb to the frustration they feel when they have to garner often quite fundamental information about an undeveloped field from scattered publications covering many disciplines by writing their own review of the field in question. This is an invaluable exercise, particularly for those in the business of stimulating students to grapple with unfamiliar ideas and concepts, since it makes the introduction to that literature much less painful. To some extent I, too, have succumbed to this frustration by writing this book, but I have also, much more importantl

Overview: Showcases 17 interventions with the potential to make a material difference.The showcased interventions include many that the reader is likely to be unaware of.Contains much unique information that ca.Just as the health costs of aging threaten to bankrupt developed countries, this book makes the scientific case that a biological "bailout" could be on the way, and that human aging can be different in the future than it is today. Here 40 authors argue how our improving understanding of the biology of aging and selected technologies should enable the successful use of many different and

Overview: Enriches the current scholarly debate on Indonesia’s politics.Provides the first comprehensive account on the country’s security policies during its democratic transition process.Emplyes new reports, .The book presents a novel analytical perspective on Indonesia’s security policies during its transition to democracy. Kurniawan‘s analysis revolves around .extraordinary measures. and .normal politics .in response to the .existential threat. to the Indonesian state. This perspective is at the centre of the analysis which examines the process of .securitization. and .desecuritization. ta

Overview: This book tells the dramatic story of the unexpected disintegration of the Soviet Union. The author draws on a wide range of sources to illustrate the growth of national awareness among the many subject peoples, partly promoted by the actions of the communists themselves. He concludes that, the efforts of Mikhail Gorbachev to reform the state he initially controlled, undermined and eventually destroyed the mechanisms that held the non-Russians in check.978-0-230-37746-2

Overview: This book compares African and Afrikaner nationalisms to demonstrate that the transition from apartheid to liberal democracy in South Africa was a neo-colonial settlement that left the economy and the military and security sectors under the control of the white minority, while increasing wide socioeconomic disparities between rich and poor.978-1-349-37488-5978-0-230-61727-8

Overview: We begin by making clear the meaning of the term "tame". The higher ramifi­ cation groups, on the one hand, and the one-units of chain groups, on the other, are to lie in the kernels of the respective representations considered. We shall establish a very natural and very well behaved relationship between representa­ tions of the two groups mentioned in the title, with all the right properties, and in particular functorial under base change and essentially preserving root numbers. All this will be done in full generality for all principal orders. The formal setup for this also throws
