Overview: Breadth of research applications of metaphor and analogy in science education.Inclusion of practical applications of metaphor and analogy in science education.International contributors, including botYears ago a primary teacher told me about a great series of lessons she had just had. The class had visited rock pools on the seashore, and when she asked them about their observations they talked about: it was like a factory, it was like a church, it was like a garden, it was like our kitchen at breakfast time, etc. Each student’s analogy could be elaborated, and these analogies provide

Overview: Includes supplementary material: ”Managing Complexity, Reducing Perplexity” is devoted to an overview of the status of the art in the study of complex systems, with particular focus on the analysis of systems pertaining to living matter. Both senior scientists and young researchers from diverse and prestigious institutions with a deliberately interdisciplinary cut were invited, in order to compare approaches and problems from different disciplines.?The common aim of the contributions was to analyze the complexity of living systems by means of new mathematical paradigms that are more

Overview: Over the last few years, multimedia hardware and applications have become widely available in the personal computer and workstation environments, and multimedia is rapidly becoming an integral part of stand-alone, single-user sy- stems. In contrast, the problems encountered when moving to open, distributed environments are only just beginning to be identified. Examples are the trans- mission of dynamic data (video, sound) over large distances and cooperative work. Following on from two successful workshops on multimedia, EG-MM ‘94 concentrates on topics related to multimedia/hypermed

Overview: Covers use of software language R for a spectrum of modern optimization methods.Includes exercise sets and solutions.Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in Computer Science and InformatioThe goal of this book is to gather in a single work the most relevant concepts related in optimization methods, showing how such theories and methods can be addressed using the open source, multi-platform R tool. Modern optimization methods, also known as metaheuristics, are particularly useful for solving complex problems for which no specialized optimization algorithm has been develope

Overview: This year marks the tenth anniversary of the International Symposium on Medical Virology. In the Foreword to the book of the 1980 Symposium, we stated, "However, the challenges still lying ahead are more numerous than our past accomplishments". Little did we know at the time, that within a few years the spread of human immunodeficiency virus type I was going to occur. This worldwide epidemic has, like no other disease in recent history, awakened the scientific community and the public at large. It is a reminder to all of us that regardless of our vast technical advances, Nature provi

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .In this monograph we?present a review of a number of recent results on the motion of a classical body immersed in an infinitely extended medium and subjected to the action of an external force. We investigate this topic in the framework of mathematical physics by focusing mainly on the class of purely Hamiltonian systems, for which very few results are available.?We discuss two cases: when the medium is a gas and when it is a fluid. In the first case, the aim is to obtain microscopic models of viscous friction. In the second, we seek to underline som

Overview: Menschliches Verhalten und K?uferverhalten wurden bereits in ihren unterschiedlichen Facetten und aus der Perspektive verschiedener wissenschaftlicher und praktischer Disziplinen beleuchtet. So wurde beispielsweise das Verhalten von Investoren, d.h. von K?ufern an Finanzm?rkten, aus der Sicht der ?konomie und der Psychologie ausführlich untersucht. Allerdings wurde der Einfluss kultureller Werte auf das Verhalten von K?ufern bisher vernachl?ssigt. ..Martin Reimann verknüpft kulturelle Wertekonstrukte und intrapersonale Verhaltenskonstrukte, unterzieht sie einer kausalanalytischen Unt
