Overview: The period under consideration is often overlooked and resistant to easy periodization.Explores how four authors of the period ‘wrote back’ to their parent generation, contesting the Romantic-era cons.This book views Romantic literature’s discourses of childhood, education, and reproduction through the eyes of four early nineteenth-century British authors who were uniquely implicated in those discourses. Hartley and Sara Coleridge, children of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and William Godwin Jr, children of William Godwin, shared the predicament of being bo

Overview: Compiles a number of realistic and illustrative applications with color figures.Covers industrial activities of pharmaceutical companies.Addresses extensions of FMO to future computational environmentThis book covers recent advances of the fragment molecular orbital (FMO)?method, consisting of 5 parts and a total of 30 chapters written by FMO?experts. The FMO method is a promising way to calculate large-scale molecular systems such as proteins in a quantum mechanical framework. The highly efficient parallelism deserves being considered the principal advantage of FMO calculations. Add

Overview: Researchers seeking problems that offer more hope of success often avoid subjects that seem to be difficult to approach experimentally, or subjects for which experimental results are difficult to interpret. The breakdown part of protein turnover in vivo, particularly in nervous tissue, was such a subject in the past – it was difficult to measure and difficult to explore the mechanisms involved. For factors that influence protein metabolism, it was thought that protein content, function, and distribution are controlled only by the synthetic mechanisms that can supply the needed specif

Overview: Presents state-of-the-art research in Robotics.Results of the 16th International Symposium of Robotics Research, ISRR ‘13, held 16-19 Dec. 2013 in Singapore.Written by leading experts in the field.Inc.This volume presents a collection of paperspresented at the 16.th. International Symposium of Robotic Research(ISRR). ISRR is the biennial meeting of the International Foundation of RoboticResearch (IFRR) and its 16.th. edition took place in Singapore overthe period 16th to 19th December 2013. The ISRR is the longest running seriesof robotics research meetings and dates back to the very

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the Department of Physics at Kyoto University.Presents for the first time a novel type of topological phase transition in disordered systems.Explores the deve.This book investigates phase transitions and critical phenomena in disordered systems driven out of equilibrium. First, the author derives a dimensional reduction property that relates the long-distance physics of driven disordered systems to that of lower dimensional pure systems. By combining this property with a modern renormalization group technique, the critical behavior of random

Overview: This book has two major themes: one, to provide a general un- derstanding of the biology of spinal cord injury (SCI) in ani- mal models and their relationship to naturally occurring inju- ry in man, and secondly, to review novel means to induce functional recovery from spinal cord injury based on develop- mental biophysics and physiology. These are new innovations in the treatment of SCI, born of disciplines that have not re- ceived much attention from investigators interested in the re- pair and regeneration of the Central Nervous System (CNS). They include development of 4-Aminopyr

Overview: Addresses problems in recent approaches to internet-based design and manufacturing systems.Provides electronic versions of algorithms, tools and product knowledge bases.Gives a modern approach.IncludeRapid One-of-a-kind Product Development discusses research in the development of new enabling technologies for small and medium companies. Scientific advancements presented include a novel product data modelling scheme to model product design, manufacturability and knowledge under a common data object; customised product development in a distributed environment; and new adaptive scheduli

Overview: Provides a general overview of the state-of-art and future trends in reputation management.Describes tools to measure corporate reputation.Reports best practice from blue-chip firms.Helps to optimize Reputation is the most complex asset of an organization. Despite the call for consistent management of corporate reputation comprehensive approaches to measure and steer a company‘ s reputation are still in their infancy. Reputation management aims at creating a balance between stakeholder demands, perceptions and corporate reality in order to foster behavior that helps a company achieve

Overview: Presents in-depth insights into the characterization of bionanocomposites based on rubber.Includes various classes of material bases, such as cellulose, chitin, starch, soy proteins, polylactic acid.O.This book presents detailed insights into the characterization of bionanocomposite materials based on rubber. Examining various classes of material bases, such as cellulose, chitin, starch, soy proteins, polylactic acid (PLA), bacterial cellulose and casein, it offers a valuable reference resource for graduate and postgraduate engineering students, researchers and polymer engineers work

Overview: The text covers regional economic theory and policy appropriate for students of economics, economic geography, planning, estate and land management courses. The region is considered in the spatial economic hierarchy recognising the local and urban economy and the interaction with national and European Community economies. The components of the regional economy and their impact on regional growth potential are explained and the relevance of the theory is illustrated through regional examples. Regional and urban policies of the 1980s and 1990s are covered and policy is placed in the co

An der Universit?t Rostock wird untersucht, inwiefern diese Gemeinschaften Ausdrucksgestalten einer Religionsproduktivit?t darstellen. Bilden sich über eine religionshybride Kultur neue Formen von Religion oder religi?s überformte Lebensstile j
