Overview: Die Komplexit?t, Undurchschaubarkeit und Lebendigkeit der wirt- schaftlichen Erscheinungen lassen jeden Versuch, sie zu beschreiben und zu anaysieren,zu einer Suche nach den "wesentlichen" Zusam- menh?ngen werden. Vielleicht findet man dann derartige Beziehungen, die für eine Darstellung einfach genug sind, die jedoch bei einer rein verbalen Darstellung nur in unmittelbarem Bezug zu dem empi- risch Erfa?ten verstanden werden k?nnen. Die Aufdeckung von Wider- sprüchen, die sich infolge der ungenauigkeit der Sprache einschlei- chen k?nnen, oder die Ableitung der dem Sachverhalt innewoh

Overview: The rare earths have a unique place among the elements. Although very much alike chemically and in most phy~ical properties they each have very different and striking magnetic properties. The reason, of course, lies in their 4f electrons which determine the magnetic properties but have little effect on other chemical and physical behaviour. Although they are not rare, some indeed are among the more common heavy elements in the earth‘s crust, the difficulty of separation has meant that their intricate magnetic properties have only recently been unravelled. Now, however, the general pa

Overview: Offers examples of language pedagogy based in critical praxis and social justice.Presents a new approach to language teaching and research.Applies activity systems analysis as an analytical and pedago.This volume offers an approach to language and literacy instruction that brings together theoretical concepts of multiliteracies and second language acquisition.

Overview: The 5th International Symposium on Microbial Growth on C Compounds was held at the Biological 1 Center of the University of Groningen, Haren, The Netherlands, 11-16 August 1986. The meeting attracted well over 200 participants from 15 countries. This volume contains the formal presentations made at that time, which, because of the breadth of topics covered, were divided into seven sections of related papers.

Overview: The recogmuon recogmtIon of the microcirculation as an ideal interdisciplinary meeting place for the life sciences is really a postwar phenomenon. The European and the American Societies more than any other organizations launched the idea, and the success of the European Society‘s International Meetings gave impetus to a growth of interest from a handful of specialists to the wide interdisciplinary study which microcirculation now represents. The meeting held in Canada in June 1975 was, however, the first truly international meeting devoted to the microcirculation. It, too, was a suc

Overview: Many different mathematical methods and concepts are used in classical mechanics: differential equations and phase ftows, smooth mappings and manifolds, Lie groups and Lie algebras, symplectic geometry and ergodic theory. Many modern mathematical theories arose from problems in mechanics and only later acquired that axiomatic-abstract form which makes them so hard to study. In this book we construct the mathematical apparatus of classical mechanics from the very beginning; thus, the reader is not assumed to have any previous knowledge beyond standard courses in analysis (differential

Overview: A fascinating study of the contribution of ordinary men and women to Spain‘s democratic transition of the 1970s.

Overview: Suitable for researchers and graduate students working in the areas of programming and constraints.Introduces new approaches.Demonstrates results on real-world problems.Includes supplementary material.Programming languages are often classified according to their paradigms, e.g. imperative, functional, logic, constraint-based, object-oriented, or aspect-oriented. A paradigm characterizes the style, concepts, and methods of the language for describing situations and processes and for solving problems, and each paradigm serves best for programming in particular application areas. Real-w
