Overview: Very concise textbook on engineering solid mechanics.Contains exercises and solutions.Designed for a master course in Computational EngineeringMechanics, and in particular, the mechanics of solids, forms the basis of all engi- neering sciences. It provides the essential foundations for understanding the action of forces on bodies, and the effects of these forces on the straining of the body on the one hand, and on the deformation and motion of the body on the other. Thus, it provides the solutions of many problems with which the would-be engineer is going to be confronted with on a d

Overview: With the continuous increase in human population and its constant demands on the aquatic environment, there has been a compounding of the interrelationships between algae and man. These relatively simple green plants not too long ago were often considered as merely biological curiosities. Within the past twenty-five years, with advances in technology and the increased eutrophication of lakes and streams, the interplay between algae and man has become more complex and more im- portant. Problems of taste, odor, toxicity, or obnoxious growth caused by algae are unfortunately quite famil

Overview: Demokratien oder autoritaristische Herrschaft?.Ein Standardwerk zu den L?ndern Mittel- und OsteuropasDer Autoritarismus wird als politisches System des eingeschr?nkten Pluralismus verstanden. Herausragende L?nderkenner besch?ftigen sich in diesem Buch mit der Entstehung und den Eigenschaften jener Autoritarismen, die aus dem Kommunismus hervorgegangen sind. Es wird zudem auf die Demokratisierung dieser Systeme eingegangen. Ausgerechnet die postkommunistischen Autoritarismen werden manchmal als "unvollkomene Demokratien" verkl?rt. Die auf dem Umschlag abgebildeten Fotos einer Stra?e i

Overview: A comprehensive overview of atmospheric greenhouse gas budget from Eastern Central Europe from where such information was not available before.Presentation of regional characteristics that should be tHuman induced global climate change is the biggest challenge humankind faces today. Increasing amount of atmospheric greenhouse gases play a crucial role in the evolution of the climate. Without the understanding of the contributing processes, feedbacks and interactions we cannot predict the future changes and develop effective mitigation strategies. To decrease the uncertainty of the gl

Overview: The book is divided into chapters that cover all of the major areas of medical teaching.Each chapter is written by an expert in the field.The book is an excellent resource for the new medical teacher .Few faculty members in academic medical centres are formally prepared for their roles as teachers. This work is an introductory text designed to provide medical teachers with the core concepts of effective teaching practice and information about innovations for curriculum design, delivery, and assessment. It offers brief, focused chapters with content that is easily assimilated by the r

Overview: A timely examination of an area of growing concern in today‘s heath service. Works from researchbased information to practical adviceAggression and violence directed towards staff in the caring services is a growing problem, and one that is receiving increasing attention. Despite the interest and concern, few successful approaches to the subject have been devised, leaving the majority of staff feeling vulnerable.This book addresses the issue of violence from a theoretical, organisational, legal and practice perspective in order to provide a framework for future practice in this area.

Overview: Concise treatment of the main topics studied in a standard introductory course on partial differential equations.Includes an expanded treatment of numerical computation with MATLAB replacement for all.This textbook is for the standard, one-semester, junior-senior course that often goes by the title "Elementary Partial Differential Equations" or "Boundary Value Problems". The audience consists of students in mathematics, engineering, and the sciences. The topics include derivations of some of the standard models of mathematical physics and methods for solving those equations on unboun

Overview: Testing applications for mobile phones is difficult, time-consuming, and hard to do effectively. Many people have limited their testing efforts to hands-on testing of an application on a few physical handsets, and they have to repeat the process every time a new version of the software is ready to test. They may miss many of the permutations of real-world use, and as a consequence their users are left with the unpleasant mess of a failing application on their phone. Test automation can help to increase the range and scope of testing, while reducing the overhead of manual testing of e
