The book starts with a historical reconstruction of two opposing biolinguistic models: the Chomskian Biolinguistic Model (CBM) and the Darwinian Biolinguistic Model (DBM). The second part compares the two models and develops i...

Results of regular monitoring of the species diversity and structure of plant communities is used by conservation biologists to help understand impacts of perturbations caused by humans and other environmental factors on ecosystems worldwide. Changes in plant communities can, for example, be a reflection of increased levels of pollution, a response to long-term climate change, or the result of shifts in land-use practices by the human populati...

This book argues that a profound shift can be found in the works of Virginia Woolf, from an early «pursuit of the individual» to a late «pursuit of the collective». Evidence for this shift is found both in the narrative modes she employed and the methods by which thought is represented in the works themselves, and in ideas and ruminations found in Woolf's diaries and essays. The stylistic analysis covers works from The Voyage Out (1915) to the...

From our homes to our houses of government, from our schoolyards to our stadia, from our galleries to our gable walls, folklore is not only preserved but continues to be reimagined in all aspects of everyday life in Ireland. In the twenty-first century, the traditions of Irish folklore are engaged in a constant process of regeneration, where the old and the new, the oral, the textual and the visual intermingle. However, while the «first life» ...

Für die Schätzung der Höhenkarten aus Sidescan-Sonardaten liefert die Arbeit mehrere Beiträge: Ein neues Schätzverfahren, das Sonarmessungen aus vorberechneten Sonarantworten von Basiselementen, sog. Kerneln, zusammensetzt und so zu einer Höhenschätzung gelangt. Des Weiteren ein dreidimensionales Verfahren, das auf Markov Random Fields basiert und eine Sidescan-Sonarsimulationsumgebung für beliebige dreidimensionale Szenen, die auch verschiede...

The deep drawing of an aluminum alloy used in the packaging industry for the beverage can manufacturing process is investigated. In this work, the effective constitutive behavior is based on a crystal plasticity model in combination with a non-linear Hashin-Shtrikman type homogenization scheme in which a reference stiffness controls the stress and strain fluctuations. The simulation results are compared to experiments in terms of deep drawing ...
