Jahrhunderts vornimmt und die modernen Gesellschaften als »Disziplinargesellschaften« ausmacht.

Die neuen Prosaminiaturen und Kurzerzählungen von Kurt Aebli entführen in ein bizarres Arkadien. Seine verspielt-boshaften >Aeblifizierungen< des Alltags führen eine Wirklichkeit mit doppeltem Boden vor, seine witzig-vertrackten >Aebligramme« voll sprachbewußter Irreführungen und Überraschungen im Wechselspiel zwischen Literatur und Leben sind Ausflüge in einen ganz normalen Wahnsinn.

Der DELFIN 1993 geht von konstruktivistischen bzw. konstruktivistisch anmutenden Ideen in der Geschichte des sozialtheoretischen Denkens aus, untersucht konstruktivistische Konzepte in ihrem Verhältnis zu Hermeneutik und Transzendentalphilosophie, knüpft an individuensoziologische und sozialpsychologische Konzepte an, macht philosophische, biologische und physiologische Grundannahmen des konstruktivistischen Denkens zu Ausgangspunkten neuer so...

The offices of GMD-FOKUS in Berlin provided the venue for a meeting in December 1987 which signalled the birth of the ARGOSI project. The proposal gradually took shape over the following months, and after merging with another project proposal in the field of standardization of computer graphics, finally received funding from the Esprit programme in March 1989. The project stemmed from a recognition of the importance of computer graphics a'i an...

The Product Data Technology Advisory Group, short PDTAG, was established on 30 September 1992 under the auspices of the ESPRIT CIME Division of the Directorate General XIII of the European Commission. Its goals include promoting European cooperation and improving the European infrastructure in Product Data Technology, particularly in connection with the new standard STEP (ISO 10303). The dissemination of information on Product Data Technology ...

This volume reports the work carried out between 1987 and 1991 in the framework of the ESPRIT CIMEProject 1561 entitled A High Performance FMS Robot with On-Line Dynamic Compensation more often referred to by its French acronym SACODY, standing for Structure AlJegee a COmmande DYnamique. The volume is the outcome of a collaborative R&D, project performed by a European team coordinated by Bertin & Cie (France) and involving AEG AG and KUKA Robo...

Die Pharmakoepidemiologie ist im Bereich der Gesundheitswissenschaften eine der jüngsten Disziplinen. Sie verbindet die Wissenschaftsbereiche Pharmakologie, klinische Medizin, Epidemiologie und Biostatistik und ist dadurch zur wissenschaftlichen Basis der Praxis der Arzneimittelsicherheit geworden. Das vorliegende englisch-deutsche Wörterbuch enthält die wichtigsten Termini (ca. 500), Definitionen und Konzepte des epidemiologischen Themenspekt...

The studies described here were carried out in the Neuroregul­ ation Group, Department of Physiology, University of Leiden, the Netherlands. Over the last decade, this group, in close collaboration with the Department of Neurosurgery of the Academic Hospital of Leiden, has studied the development of the central nervous system from a neuroanatomical as well as a clinical perspective. During this period, the expression of several morphore­ gulat...

For bent triatomic molecules the project was fmally realized at the University of Newcastle a decade or so later, with the contribution from Ms. Feng Wan g. Aspects of this work ar...

Guidelines are powerful instruments of assistance to clinicians, capable of extending the clinical roles of nurses and pharmacists. Purchasers and managers perceive them as technological tools guaranteeing treatment quality. Guidelines also offer mechanisms by which doctors and other health care professionals can be made more accountable to their patients. But how can clinicians tell whether a guideline has authority, and whether or not it sho...

This book is composed of two texts, by R.L. Dobrushin and S. Kusuoka, each representing the content of a course of lectures given by the authors. They are pitched at graduate student level and are thus very accessible introductions to their respective subjects for students and non specialists. CONTENTS: R.L. Dobrushin: On the Way to the Mathematical Foundations of Statistical Mechanics.- S. Kusuoka: Diffusion Processes on Nested Fractals.

CONTENTS: L. Boutet de Monvel: Indice de systemes differentiels.- C. De Concini, C. Procesi: Quantum groups.- P. Schapira, J.P. Schneiders: Index theorems for R-constructible sheaves and for D-modules.- N. Berline, M. Vergne: The equivariant Chern character and index of G-invariant operators.

The author had initiated a revision and translation of "Classical Diophantine Equations" prior to his death. Given the rapid advances in transcendence theory and diophantine approximation over recent years, one might fear that the present work, originally published in Russian in 1982, is mostly superseded. That is not so. A certain amount of updating had been prepared by the author himself before his untimely death. Some further revision was p...

A compliment to the earlier Road Test book and does not repeat any of the articles. The DS was a completely new concept in car design and construction. A high-pressure hydraulic system lay at its heart and was radically different from anything else on sale. The simpler ID was introduced to lure customers away from more conventional cars. At the end of production the styling was still fresh and unusual, and the suspension, a revelation to drive...
