Long ago, a little girl named Laura Ingalls lived in a little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin with her Pa, her Ma, her sisters, Mary and Carrie, and their good old bulldog, Jack. Winter was just around the corner, and Laura worked hard to help make the little house ready for the cold days ahead. Soon there was frost on the windows and snow on the ground, but Laura and her folks were warm and cozy in their snug little house in the Big Woods...

Considerable progress has been made in the development of models to predict the response of wire ropes and to determine the effects of variations in the design on its performance. The book begins with the equations of equilibrium for a thin curved wire in space, before going on to solve these equations, and apply them to determine the stresses in a simple strand. These results are then extended to ropes with more complex cross sections. Numero...

Seit Ende der 80er Jahre erleben wir Entwicklungen, die unsere Vorstellungen von dem, was ist und sein kann, gründlich auf den Kopf gestellt haben. Die Um­ wälzungen in Osteuropa, die deutsche Wiedervereinigung, aber auch der europäi­ sche Binnenmarkt und das Zusammenwachsen Europas haben unsere Betrachtung der Welt gründlich verändert. Wir sind Zeugen eines weltweiten Wandels von der alten Konfrontation zu einer multipolaren und interdependen...

Die Eignung zinsgünstiger Innovationsdarlehen als Förderinstrument für die marktnahe Forschung und Entwicklung neuer Produkte, Verfahren oder Dienstleistungen sowie deren Markteinführung wird untersucht. Dabei stützt sich das Buch auf eine breite empirische Basis aus Befragungen mittelständischer Unternehmen, Kreditinstituten und Verbänden der Wirtschaft und des Kreditsektors. Neben Finanzierungsaspekten werden auch die Vorgehensweisen mittels...

Glomerular flltration represents one of the basic mechanisms in the function of an organism. Our understanding of this process is still quite fragmentary. Regulation of blood flow and pressure, together with regulation of the ultraflltration coefficient (which is an attribute of the flltration barrier), are the two fundamental mechanisms accounting for maintenance and adaptability of glomerular flltration. Regulation of glomerular blood flow i...

In Neuroprotective Signal Transduction prominent researchers and clinicians focus on how inter- and intracellular signaling mechanisms prevent the degeneration and death of neurons occurring in both acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders. Authoritative contributions dissect the signaling pathways of an array of neuroprotective factors-ranging from neurotrophins (NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4/5), to growth factors (bFGF, IGF-1, GDNF), to cyt...

The Neuropsychology of Aging is a comprehensive yet concise introduction to what is currently known about the impact of aging on brain function.

An introduction to certain aspects of developments in the modern theory of dynamics and simulation for a wide audience of scientifically literate readers. Unlike general texts on chaos theory and dynamical systems theory, this book follows the work on a specific problem at the very beginning of the modern era of dynamics, from its inception in 1954 through the early 1970s. It discusses such problems as the nonlinear oscillator simulation, the ...

Each print volume in this long-standing series profiles approximately four to eight short story writers by providing full-text or excerpted criticism taken from books, magazines, literary reviews, newspapers and scholarly journals. Among those profiled in this volume are: Ralph EllisonJames JoycePhilip RothMark Twain

This book takes the reader through the complete weathering cycle, from the continents to the oceans, from the perspective of modern radiogenic isotope geochemistry. Topics include surface weathering, fluvial processes, environmental pollution, oceanography and paleoceanography, sedimentary mineral diagenesis and radiometric dating, thus bridging the gap between processes acting on the Earth today and the geological record. Extensive use is mad...

While the research and management of wildlife has traditionally emphasised studies at smaller scales, it is now acknowledged that larger, landscape-level patterns strongly influence demographic processes in wild animal species. This book is the first to provide the conceptual basis for learning how larger scale patterns and processes can influence the biology and management of wildlife species. It is divided into three sections: Underlying Con...

Given declining budgets and flagging political support, the environment for international co-operation in Canada and other industrial democracies has become exceptionally challenging. A collection of essays by experts in the field, Strategies of Public Engagement explores ways in which Canadian development organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can strengthen political and public support.

aeo Offers an elegant introduction to Bataille. aeo Contains major essays by eminent theorists. aeo Reveals Batailles pivotal position for theorists including Baudrillard, Blanchot, Derrida, Foucault, and Habermas.

This book presents a summary of the lectures given at the NATO Advanced Science Institute (ASI) which took place at Val Morin, Quebec, Canada, 4-15 September, 1995. This summer school offered an excellent opportunity to discuss key scientific questions related to the stratosphere and its importance for the climate system. Approximately 85 students and 15 lecturers from 19 nations attended the ASI which was sponsored by SPARC (Stratospheric Pro...

In these notes on "Projective Modules and Complete Intersections" an account on the recent developments in research on this subject is presented. The author's preference for the technique of Patching isotopic isomorphisms due to Quillen, formalized by Plumsted, over the techniques of elementary matrices is evident here. The treatment of Basic Element theory here incorporates Plumstead's idea of the "generalized dimension functions". These note...

Benjamin Blümchen ist besorgt. Der erste Schnee fällt schon, und Zoodirektor Tierlieb hat kein Geld für Weihnachtsgeschenke. Benjamin und Otto gehen nachdenklich in die Stadt. Da erfahren sie, dass für das Kaufhaus ein Weihnachtsmann gesucht wird. "Ist ja toll", denkt Benjamin und hat sofort eine großartige Idee.

Die Kosten-Nutzen-Analyse ist das wichtigste wirtschaftstheoretisch gestützte Instrument zur Bewertung öffentlicher Investitionsprojekte und der Folgen staatlicher Wirtschaftspolitik. In dem vorliegenden ersten Band werden zunächst operationale Wohlfahrtsmaße aus der Wohlfahrtsökonomik hergeleitet und anschließend Verfahrenstechniken praktischer Projektbewertung im Rahmen eines Durchführbarkeitsstudien-Konzepts dargestellt.
