Overview: We shall limit our observations to the conditions in natural ecosystems, since it would be beyond the scope of this book to embark upon a consideration of secondary, man-made ecosystems. 2. Classification of the Geo-biosphere into Zonobiomes The biosphere is the thin layer of the earth‘s surface to which the phenomena connected with living matter are confined. On land, this comprises the lowest layer of the atmosphere permanently inhabited by living organisms and into which plants extend, as well as the root-containing portion of the lithosphere, which we term the soil. Living organi

Overview: Die Frage, wie der Mensch die Fähigkeit erwirbt, moralische Lösungen für soziale Problemlagen zu finden, zählt zu den zentralen Problembereichen der Sozialwissenschaften. Nach Lawrence Kohlberg entwickelt sich die moralische Urteilskompetenz in einer stufenförmigen Abfolge, wobei soziale Faktoren diesen Entwicklungsprozess beeinflussen. Wolfgang Lempert zufolge wirken sich sechs "soziobiographische" Bedingungen auf diesen Prozess aus...Um den Zusammenhang zwischen sozialen Einflüssen und der Entwicklung moralischer Urteilskompetenz zu untersuchen, legte Thomas Bienengräber im Rahmen

Overview: Vallombrosa Center was host during the week September 7-12, 1985 to about 40 mathematicians, physical scientists, and engineers, who share a common interest in free surface phenomena. This volume includes a selection of contributions by participants and also a few papers by interested scientists who were unable to attend in person. Although a proceedings volume cannot recapture entirely the stimulus of personal interaction that ultimately is the best justification for such a gathering, we do offer what we hope is a representative sampling of the contributions, indicating something of

Overview: .Durch den tiefgreifenden und dynamischen Medienwandel sind Innovationen in Medienunternehmen unverzichtbar, um deren Existenz als Unternehmen, aber auch als gesellschaftliche Ideen- und Impulsgeber zu sichern. Die hohe Spezialisierung in Verlagen macht gemischte Innovationsteams zwingend erforderlich, um einen umfangreichen Output und eine hohe Kreativität zu erreichen. Um die Produktivität dieser Teams zu untersuchen, muss zunächst eine holistische Metrik entwickelt werden, um die gesamte Innovationsleistung erfassen zu können. Allzu oft werden lediglich Umsatz und Ertrag als Kennz

Overview: First comprehensive account of the vegetation ecology of the remarkable island of Socotra.Ca. 250 photographs, about half of which in colour.Includes comparisons with other islands from a biogeographiAlthough the unique flora of the Socotra Archipelago with its high degree of endemism has received much attention recently, little information is available on the vegetation and related ecological aspects. Based on their extensive field experience of the region, the authors have assimilated a vast amount of knowledge to produce this book, which gives a detailed insight into the plant eco

Overview: This book discusses preclinical target identification and validation, and the optimum pre-clinical animal models.Biomarkers and imaging modalities used to assess the efficacy of these agents are examiAngiogenesis (formation of new vessels from pre-existing ones) is a crucial early event in the process of tumor development. New vessels supply the tumor with nutrients that are needed for further local growth and enable distant metastases (Folkman 1995). Judah Folkman (1971) highlighted the potential therapeutic imp- cations of tumor angiogenesis. He hypothesized that if tumor angiogene
