This book explores recent theoretical and empirical advances in the understanding of how professional occupations are organized. Focusing in particular on the differences between established and emerging forms of expert work, the authors provide unique theoretical perspectives on this rapidly developing field.

Cette étude examine la relation que différentes personnes entretiennent avec l¿écrit, en montrant dans quelles circonstances ces dernières lisent et écrivent, avec quelle adéquation elles le font ainsi que la façon dont elles se représentent le rôle de l¿écrit dans leur vie. Par le biais de sept entretiens semi-directifs et dans une approche à la fois psychologique, sociologique et ethnographique, elle tente de répondre aux questions suivantes...

The deployment of software patches can be just as challenging as building entirely new workstations. Training and support issues can haunt even the most successful software launch for months. Preparing for the rigors of software deployment includes not just implementing change, but training employees, predicting and mitigating pitfalls, and managing expectations. Software Deployment, Updating, and Patching provides the skills you need to devel...

The hand is an agency of the brain, it reflects activities of the brain and thereby can be seen as a mirror to the mind. The dexterity of the hand has been investigated widely in developmental psychology and in anthropology. Since robotics launched in the mid-1970s, numerous multi-fingered hands mimicking the human hand have been designed and made in a number of universities and research institutes, in addition to sophisticated prosthetic hand...

Researchers in polymeric membranes as well as R&D, professionals will find this work an essential addition to the literature. It concentrates on the method recently developed to study the surfaces of synthetic polymeric membranes using an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), which is fast becoming a very important tool. Each chapter includes information on basic principles, commercial applications, an overview of current research and guidelines for ...

Due to their vital involvement in a wide variety of housekeeping and specialized cellular functions, exocytosis and endocytosis remain among the most popular subjects in biology and biomedical sciences. Tremendous progress in understanding these complex intracellular processes has been achieved by employing a wide array of research tools ranging from classical biochemical methods to modern imaging techniques. In Exocytosis and Endocytosis, ski...

The advent of the postgenome era has brought a remarkable evolution in modern plant embryology. In Plant Embryogenesis, the authors focus on the common developmental process and compile novel tools and methods designed specifically for studying plant embryogenesis. In each chapter, detailed outlines of model embryonic systems are provided, as well as cutting-edge cellular, genetic and molecular mechanisms. This important book gives insight int...

Elwyn Simons: A Search for Origins John G. Fleagle and Christopher C. Gilbert, Editors For nearly a half century, Dr. Elwyn Simons has dominated the study of primate evolution. This volume summarizes the current state of knowledge in many aspects of primate and human evolution that have been studied by Simons and his colleagues and places it in a broader paleontological and historical perspective. A Search for Origins contains the results o...

Das Christentum sagt, dass Jesus Christus sowohl wahrer Mensch als auch wahrer Gott in einer Person war. Doch wie kann das genauer gedacht werden? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, rekonstruiert das Buch umfassend das Denken Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegels und damit einen der einflussreichsten und interessantesten Denker der Moderne. Hegels neu edierte religionsphilosophischen Vorlesungen werden dazu ebenso ausgelegt wie die entsprechenden Texte d...

Das Vorkommen fiktionaler direkter Reden ist für den modernen Leser das wohl auffallendste Merkmal antiker Geschichtswerke. Diese Arbeit untersucht die rhetorische Gestaltung und die narrative Funktion der aus dem Epos übernommenen Reden bei Herodot und Thukydides. Ausgehend von der für die antike Historiographie als unzulänglich erwiesenen Unterscheidung von Dichtung und Geschichtsschreibung in Aristoteles' Poetik , den Reden im Epos und der ...

Ein zentrales Anliegen von Kants Kritik der reinen Vernunft ist die philosophische Begründung der Möglichkeit gegenstandsbezogener Erfahrung. Einbildungskraft und Erfahrung bei Kant zeigt, dass die Einbildungskraft eine sowohl systematische als auch methodische Schlüsselrolle in dieser Begründung spielt, und rekonstruiert Kants Theorie der Einbildungskraft als ein Zentrum seiner Erkenntnistheorie.

Müssen wir den Skeptizismus als unkontrollierbare Bedrohung unserer Wissensansprüche anerkennen? Die gängigen antiskeptischen Strategien geben auf diese Frage letztlich keine befriedigende Antwort. Anhand der Differenzierung und Analyse der systematischen Formen des Skeptizismus in der theoretischen und praktischen Philosophie argumentiert diese Studie daher für die Strategie des integrativen Antiskeptizismus. Diese Strategie diagnostiziert de...

Hannah Arendt ist längst von einer umstrittenen Denkerin zu einer Klassikerin der modernen politischen Theorie geworden. In unnachahmlicher Weise hat sie den Bruch des deutschen philosophischen Denkens in den 20er Jahren in ihren weiteren intellektuellen Lebensweg aufgenommen und in eine politische Theorie des 20. Jahrhunderts übertragen - eine Theorie, die aus den Erfahrungen von Flucht und Staatenlosigkeit schöpfte und zugleich zentrale Phän...

Arditti's approachable work covers the all the details of design, siting and construction - once a basic type has been decided upon. It is written in a way that is equally applicable to the USA and UK (where there are slightly different building regulations) and deals with matters that are basic to building and commissioning any amateur observatory. Uniquely, David Arditti also considers the aesthetics of amateur observatories - fitting them i...

Topological Methods in Group Theory is about the interplay between algebraic topology and the theory of infinite discrete groups. The author has kept three kinds of readers in mind: graduate students who have had an introductory course in algebraic topology and who need a bridge from common knowledge to the current research literature in geometric, combinatorial and homological group theory, group theorists who would like to know more about th...

This book is about arming you with one simple tool that will enhance your investment decision-making process - the chart. It is not the Holy Grail and even if applied exactly as offered there is no guarantee that you will be successful. But owning a high quality hammer is no guarantee that the user will build a beautiful house. The hammer is a tool and in most cases the user will still need other tools - and knowledge - to build that house. ...

This book provides the first rigorous derivation of mesoscopic and macroscopic equations from a deterministic system of microscopic equations. The microscopic equations are cast in the form of a deterministic (Newtonian) system of coupled nonlinear oscillators for N large particles and infinitely many small particles. The mesoscopic equations are stochastic ordinary differential equations (SODEs) and stochastic partial differential equatuions ...
