Overview: Addresses a gap in literary criticism by exploring women’s friendships in literary and artistic production.Analyzes cultural portrayals of women’s friendship in fiction, letters, and film.Explores theThis volume presents a collection of critical essays that center women’s friendship in women’s literary and artistic production. Analyzing cultural portrayals of women’s friendships in fiction, letters, and film, these essays collectively suggest new models of literary interpretation that do not prioritize heterosexual romance. Instead, this book represents friendships as mature and mean

Overview: by Donald J. Albers ix INTRODUCTION In July of 1984 the first national conference on mathematics education in two-year colleges was held at Menlo College. The conference was funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Two-year colleges account for more than one-third of all undergraduate enrollments in mathematics, and more than one-half of all college freshmen are enrolled in two-year colleges. These two facts alone suggest the importance of mathematics education in two-year colleges, particularly to secondary schools, four-year colleges, and universities. For a variety of reasons, fo

Overview: Neutrinos play an intriguing role in modern physics linking central questions of particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics. The contributions in this book reflect the present status of neutrino physics with emphasis on non-accelerator or beyond-accelerator experiments. Since a nonvanishing neutrino mass would yield an important boundary condition for GUT, SUSY or Superstring models and since neutrinos are the best candidates for dark matter in the universe, the many efforts to look for a neutrino mass, ranging from neutrino oscillation experiments using reactors, accelerators or t

Overview: Thirteen promising young researchers write on what they take to be the right philosophical account of mathematics and discuss where the philosophy of mathematics ought to be going. New trends are revealed, such as an increasing attention to mathematical practice, a reassessment of the canon, and inspiration from philosophical logic.978-0-230-21943-4978-0-230-24519-8Series ISSN 2947-6720 Series E-ISSN 2947-6739

Overview: "Jedes Kunstwerk ist eine Sch?pfung. Aber jede Sch?pfung ist auch ein Wagnis. Die Sch?pferkraft des Abendlandes beruht darauf, dass das Wesen dieser Einheit, die den Westen trotz seiner Mannigfaltigkeit zusammenh?lt, dem Leben zugewandt ist. " Diese Worte Ivar Lissners in seinen Werk "Wir sind das Abendland" k?nnen nicht treffender das Zusammen- wachsen Europas unter dem Dach der Europ?ischen Gemeinschaften beschreiben. Denn die in diesen Institutionen verk?rperte Idee der friedlichen und in Freiheit zu vollzie- henden Einigung Europas legte den Grundstein für einen bislang unverglei

Overview: Provides a global overview of the exposure routes, destination and life cycle of NSAIDs in water.Analyzes the ecotoxic effects of paracetamol, ibuprofen and diclofenac.Presents new technologies for th.This book gathers the main international research findings on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as emerging contaminants in water. It focuses on the major routes of exposure, and the destinations and life cycles of NSAIDs in water, as well as the manifestations of toxicity in different organisms. It also reviews the methods used in the detection, analysis and quantification

Overview: Presents intricate models of planar shock compression for anisotropic single crystals and polycrystals.Addresses dominant mechanisms of nonlinear thermoelasticity, dislocation plasticity, deformation This book describes thermoelastic and inelastic deformation processes in crystalline solids undergoing loading by shock compression. Constitutive models with a basis in geometrically nonlinear continuum mechanics supply these descriptions. Large deformations such as finite strains and rotations, are addressed. The book covers dominant mechanisms of nonlinear thermoelasticity, dislocation

Overview: Provides comprehensive and up-to-date reviews on the topic.Written by recognized authorities in the field.Is part of a well-known series.This book deals with neurotrophins (NGF, BDNF, NT3, NT4), which can decrease cell death, induce differentiation, as well as sustain the structure and function of neurons. This makes neurotrophins potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. However, these proteins have so far been ineffective in clinical trials mostly because they cannot pass the blood-brain barrier owing to their high-molecular weights. Consequentl

Overview: The field of nonlinear optics has witnessed a tremendous evolution since its beginnings in the early sixties. Its frontiers have been extended in many direc- tions and its techniques have intruded upon many areas of both fundamental and practical interest. The field itself has been enriched with many new phe- nomena and concepts that have further extended its scope and strengthened its connection with other areas. As a consequence, it is becoming increasingly unrealistic to expect to cover the different facets and trends of this field in the lectures or proceed- ings of a summer scho

Overview: The scanning electron microscope (SEM) has been used with increasing frequency in recent years to study the surface mor- phology of normal, transformed and malignant leukocytes. Since the original reports on critical point-dried lymphocytes published in 1973, results of other studies using improved methods have been reported giving rise to some controversy in this field and this is discussed in the text of the atlas. Advances in preparatory techniques recorded during the past 3 years have also contributed much to a better understanding of cell surface phenomena as seen under the SEM.
