Overview: Offers findings that will redound to the benefits of stakeholders in Australia and China.Furthers our understanding of an ecological perspective on language education.Presents a fine-grained and theor.This book examines the benefits of an Australian in-country study (ICS) in China programme and explores ways to maximise the short-term ICS experience in a multilingual space. The book employs an ecological perspective which has seldom been used to examine the study abroad context. It emphasises the importance of the space itself as an arena of interaction, belonging and power, where co

This collection of chapters was written by her colleagues and students and recognize the important role that Professor Gierlowski-Kor

Overview: The lattice dynamics of molecular crystals has undergone an enor- mous progress in these last twenty years or so. The experimental and theoretical advances have been realized by two different approaches. From one side molecular spectroscopists have been primarily interested in the vibrational properties of the molecules themselves subjected to the perturbing influence of the crystal environment. From the other side the lattice dynamical theory familiar in solid state physics for atomic lattices has been extended to molecular arrays. Although the overlap between the two approaches has

Overview: Case studies using logotherapy in diverse settings.Meaning-centered programs and interventions in the workplace.Innovative approaches to finding meaning with at-risk children and young adults.The second volume in the series presents ground-breaking advances of Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy and existential analysis, with emphasis on the discovery of meaning as central to coping, resilience, and growth. Noted contributors from around the world present empirical and case study evidence for the importance of meaning in diverse populations and settings, as well as theoretical and philosophi

Overview: Offers a wholly original take on the relationship between heritage objects and the landscapes in which they are located.Deploys a fascinating object biography as a basis for discussions about future d.This book focuses on a single artefact, the Barochan Cross, a ninth century stone sculpture in Renfrewshire, Scotland. Exploring the changing stories, meanings, locations, uses and feelings of the sculpture, Tim Edensor adopts a broad temporal frame across twelve centuries that moves away from a periodisation that solely considers its original meanings and uses. Narrating the shifting w

Overview: Pioneer book of the topic.Includes supplementary material: The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a modern numerical technique, very efficient, flexible to simulate different flows within complex/varying geome- tries. It is evolved from the lattice gas automata (LGA) in order to overcome the difficulties with the LGA. The core equation in the LBM turns out to be a special discrete form of the continuum Boltzmann equation, leading it to be self-explanatory in statistical physics. The method describes the micro- scopic picture of particles movement in an extremely simplified way, and on

Overview: Recent work on formal methods in computational lexicalsemantics has had theeffect of bringing many linguisticformalisms much closer to the knowledgerepresentationlanguages used in artificial intelligence. Formalismsarenow emerging which may be more expressive and formallybetter understood than many knowledge representationlanguages. The interests of computational linguists nowextend to include such domains as commonsense knowledge,inheritance, default reasoning, collocational relations, andeven domain knowledge. With such an extension of the normalpurview of "linguistic" knowledge, o

Overview: The book studies the Anglo-American debate in which British officials led by Lord Hailey, countered American criticisms of imperial rule by emphasizing economic development and peace-keeping as new, non-racial justifications for western authority. These are themes that have retained a powerful resonance in the post-war world.978-1-349-42040-7978-0-230-51476-8Series ISSN 2633-5964 Series E-ISSN 2633-5972

Overview: These notes are based on the lectures I delivered at the German Mathematical Society Seminar in Schloss Michkeln in DUsseldorf in June. 1986 on Hermitian-Einstein metrics for stable bundles and Kahler-Einstein metrics. The purpose of these notes is to present to the reader the state-of-the-art results in the simplest and the most comprehensible form using (at least from my own subjective viewpoint) the most natural approach. The presentation in these notes is reasonably self-contained and prerequisi tes are kept to a minimum. Most steps in the estimates are reduced as much as possibl

Overview: Pathologie hei?t w?rtlich übersetzt die Lehre von den Leiden, Nosologie die 1 Lehre von den Krankheiten ? Im gew?hnlichen Sprachgebrauch wird zwischen Leiden und Krankheit nicht immer streng unterschieden, in Wirklichkeit handelt es sich aber bei der Krankheit um einen Vorgang, beim Leiden um einen Zu- stand, der nach einer Krankheit zurückbleibt. Was ist nun Krankheit 1 Seit Menschen auf dieser Erde leben und sterben, begleiten sie auf ihrem Weg Krank- heit und Leiden, und es ist nur zu natürlich, da? sich die besten K?pfe aller Zeiten Gedanken über ihre Entstehung gemacht haben, sc

Overview: Compiles the knowledge on laprascopic urology and the overwhelming majority of abdominal urologic procedures.Helpful for urologist through the amount of figures.Collation of the current body of knowle.The horizons of laparoscopic surgery are expanding, such that the overwhelming majority of abdominal urologic procedures have now been performed laparoscopically. In some of these procedures, the laparoscopic alternative has been demonstrated to be superior to its open counterpart; in others comparative analyses are ongoing; and in yet others, only the initial forays?into minimally inva

Overview: Kompakte Informationen für Bausachverst?ndigeIn unserer schnelllebigen, hochtechnisierten Zeit ist das Spezialwissen der unter- schiedlichsten Berufsgruppen so differenziert geworden, dass der "normale" Bür- ger kaum oder nicht mehr in der Lage ist, richtige Entscheidungen zu treffen, die au?erhalb seiner eigenen beruflichen Ausbildung oder seines allgemeinen t?gli- chen Wirkungsbereiches liegen.
