Overview: Olof Dahlb?ck‘s book breaks new ground for the analysis of crime from a rationality perspective by presenting models and methods that go far beyond those with which researchers have hitherto been equipped. The book examines single crimes, individual criminality, and societal crime, and it discusses thoroughly the general decision theoretical presuppositions necessary for analyzing these various types of crime. An expected utility maximization model for a single discrete choice regarding the commission of a crime is the foundation of most of the analyses presented. A version of this m

Overview: A greater knowledge of the basic molecular mechanisms which regulate platelet function, coagulation, the fibrinolytic system and their interaction with the vessel wall has allowed a better understanding of the numerous aspects involved in the pathogenesis of thrombosis and the regulation of hemostasis. Thrombosis represents today one of the causes of death in the Western hemisphere. Arterial thrombosis may lead to myocardial infarction, cerebral and peripheral vascular diseases. Venous thrombosis, on the other hand, is a complication of heart disease, surgery, extensive trauma, sever

Overview: An up-to-date reference book on agricultural research management.A useful guide that highlights the similarities and differences in the management systems that guide research in different countries.Cr.Agricultural research is one of the most widespread forms of organized research in the world, in both developed and developing countries. Management of agricultural research involves many decisions that have scientific, social and political consequences. Every country has established agricultural research priorities based on many complex factors that must be considered when decisions ar

Overview: Aristotle and Augustine both hold that our beliefs in freedom and voluntary action are interdependent, and that voluntary actions can only be done for the sake of good. Hence Aristotle holds that no-one acts voluntarily in pursuit of evil: such actions would be inexplicable. Augustine, agreeing that such actions are inexplicable, still insists that they occur. This is the true place in Augustine‘s view of his ‘theory of will‘ - and the real point of contrast between Aristotle and Augustine.978-0-230-37951-0

Overview: .Erstmalig erfolgt in diesem Buch eine systematische Analyse über die Auswirkungen von Alltagsumbrüchen wie Elternschaft, Wohnungswechsel oder neue Partnerschaft auf die Nutzung von Medien. Anhand einer ethnografisch-orientierten Panelstudie mit 25 Paarhaushalten wird pr?zise herausgearbeitet, dass in solchen übergangsphasen Ver?nderungen in der Alltagsstruktur einen tiefgreifenden Wandel der h?uslichen Mediennutzung ansto?en. Die Studie liefert somit ein tieferes Verst?ndnis zur Verwobenheit zwischen allt?glicher Lebensführung und Medienhandeln sowie zur Frage, warum sich die Medien

Overview: In 1961 Robinson introduced an entirely new version of thetheory of infinitesimals, which he called `Nonstandard analysis‘.`Nonstandard‘ here refers to the nature of new fields of numbers asdefined by nonstandard models of the first-order theory of the reals.This system of numbers was closely related to the ring of Schmiedenand Laugwitz, developed independently a few years earlier. .During the last thirty years the use of nonstandard models inmathematics has taken its rightful place among the various methodsemployed by mathematicians. The contributions in this volume have beenselecte

Overview: To construct a compiler for a modern higher-level programming languagel one needs to structure the translation to a machine-like intermediate language in a way that reflects the semantics of the language. little is said about such struc- turing in compiler texts that are intended to cover a wide variety of program- ming languages. More is said in the Iiterature on semantics-directed compiler construction [1] but here too the viewpoint is very general (though limited to 1 languages with a finite number of syntactic types). On the other handl there is a considerable body of work using

Overview: The integration of usability evaluations into iterative software development processes is becoming increasingly relevant, as gathering feedback from prospective users is crucial to improving the usability of eHealth systems. Traditional approaches to eHealth usability evaluation, however, are difficult to reconcile with the iterative software development process, which is why there is an increasing need for agile usability evaluation. Despite the existence of approaches to agile usability evaluation, it is unclear whether they are suitable to rapidly evaluate patient-centered eHealth
