Overview: Im folgenden Text und dem statistischen Anhang werden Ergebnisse einer empirischen sozialwissenschaftliehen Untersuchung vorgelegt, die ausschlie?lich und gro?zügig von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft unter der Projekt- nummer Ja 162/4.5 gef?rdert worden ist. Entgegenkommen des Nieders?chsi- schen Kultusministeriums, der betreffenden Schulr?te und Schulen erm?glichte die Durchführung von Vor- und Hauptunter_suchung mittels eines ziemlich aufwendigen Fragebogens in Schulklassen. Allen Beteiligten gebührt gro?er Dank - besonders den Schülern, die sich fast s?mtlich bereitwillig un

The authors show how to un

Overview: The workbook provides over 100 3D visualization exercises challenging the student to create three dimensions from two. It is a powerful and effective way to help engineering and architecture educators teach spatial visualization. Most of the 3-D visualization exercises currently being used by students in Design and Graphics classes present the objects in isometric views already in 3-D, asking the viewer to create multiple views, fold patterns, manipulate, reflect, or rotate them. The exercises presenting the objects in incomplete multiview projections asking the students to add missi

Overview: Ein nicht institutionalisierter Arbeitsmarkt funktioniert auf Grund von Marktm?ngeln nicht wie ein Gütermarkt bei vollst?ndiger Konkurrenz. Daher ist eine Regulierung des Arbeitsmarktes wohlfahrts?konomisch wünschenswert, solange ein schwer zu bestimmendes Regulierungsoptimum nicht überschritten wird. Jenseits dieses Regulierungsoptimums ist mit negativen Wirkungen auf die Funktion des Arbeitsmarktes zu rechnen...Christian Jasperneite untersucht vor diesem Hintergrund, welchen Einfluss Institutionalisierung und Regulierung des Arbeitsmarktes auf das Niveau der strukturellen Arbeitslo

Overview: Frauen sind ?ngstlich, M?nner mutig. Diese Vorstellung geh?rt zu den Stereotypen, mit denen in unserer Kultur die Differenzen zwischen den Geschlechtern festgelegt werden. Die angstbesetzte Frau ist noch in der Gegenwartsliteratur ein auff?llig zentrales Thema gerade auch solcher Schriftstellerinnen, die eigentlich dafür bekannt sind, stereotype Geschlechterdifferenzierungen eher zu unterlaufen. Christine Kanz geht - am Beispiel von Bachmanns ?Todesarten?-Projekt, aber auch zahlreicher anderer Textbeispiele aus der Literatur seit den 70er-Jahren - der Angst als einem unterscheidenden

Overview: This volume contains reviews on five different aspects of bioclimatology: (1) The establishment, maintenance and use of data from automatic weather station networks for agricultural purposes; (2) Techniques for estimating global and ultraviolet irradiance at the earth‘s surface, and the net radiation balance from operational satellite observations; (3) Mathematical models of the effects of climate on energy and mass balance in crop production; (4) Paleoecological and experimental studies of the response of stomatal density to changes in the atmospheric CO2 concentrations; and (5) The

Overview: This unique book offers a theoretical framework for historicalarchaeology that explicitly relies on network theory. Charles E.Orser, Jr., demonstrates the need to examine the impact ofcolonialism, Eurocentrism, capitalism, and modernity on allarchaeological sites inhabited after 1492 and shows how theselarge-scale forces create a link among all the sites. Orserinvestigates the connections between a seventeenth-century runawayslave kingdom in Palmares, Brazil and an early nineteenth-centurypeasant village in central Ireland. Studying artifacts, landscapes,and social inequalities in th

Overview: Computational social choice is an expanding field that merges classical topics like economics and voting theory with more modern topics like artificial intelligence, multiagent systems, and computational complexity. This book provides a concise introduction to the main research lines in this field, covering aspects such as preference modelling, uncertainty reasoning, social choice, stable matching, and computational aspects of preference aggregation and manipulation. The book is centered around the notion of preference reasoning, both in the single-agent and the multi-agent setting.

Overview: Damage to DNA by both exogenous and endogenous sources isincreasingly regarded as highly important in the initiation andprogression of cancer and in the occurance of other pathologicalevents. DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen-derived species, alsocalled oxidative DNA damage, is most the frequent type encountered byaerobic cells. Mechanistic studies of carcinogenesis indicate animportant role of this type of damage to DNA. There is also strongevidence to support the role of oxidative DNA damage in the agingprocess. DNA damage is opposed .in vivo. by repair systems. If notrepaired,

Overview: It is refreshing to find a book treating alkaloid analysis with all the latest techniques such as inverse-detected two dimensional NMR, GC/MS, and HPLC associated techniques. There have been many developments in the field of alkaloid analysis since the 1950s, not the least of which are the various powerful spectroscopic methods, which dominate this volume. Included also are the various aspects of tobacco alkaloids and analysis in various situations. The complexities of sampling and analysis in tobacco smoke is explained. Analysis of alkaloids produced by tobacco root cell cultures is

Overview: State of the art of Soft Computing, Intelligent Robotics and Control.Soft computing, as a collection of techniques exploiting approximation and tolerance for imprecision and uncertainty in traditionally intractable problems, has become very effective and popular especially because of the synergy derived from its components. The integration of constituent technologies provides complementary methods that allow developing flexible computing tools and solving complex problems. A wide area of natural applications of soft computing techniques consists of the control of dynamic systems, inc
