Elena steht mitten im Leben. Ende zwanzig, Journalistin und bildhübsch. Bis eines Tages ein Schatten vor ihre Augen tritt. Die Diagnose: Morbus Behçet, eine seltene und unheilbare Krankheit, die zur Blindheit führen kann. So auch bei Elena. Die Ärzte geben sie auf, es sei nichts mehr zu retten, sie müsse sich damit abfinden. Aber Elena gibt nicht auf. Sie entscheidet sich für einen anderen Weg. Dafür setzt sie sich kompromisslos mit ihrem Lebe...

Leveraged Exchange-Traded Funds (LETFs) are publicly-traded funds that promise to provide daily returns that are in a multiple (positive or negative) of the returns on an index. To meet that promise, the funds use leverage, which is typically obtained through derivatives such as futures contracts, forward contracts, and total-return swaps. As of the end of 2012, there were over 250 LETFs in North America with total assets of approximately $32....

The study of emotions has rapidly expanded in recent decades, incorporating interdisciplinary research on the genetic underpinnings and neural mechanisms of emotion. This book offers a comprehensive account of this interdisciplinary field of research, bridging psychology, genetics, and neuroscience.

The design, development, and optimization of modern combine harvesters require a thorough understanding and a suitable representation (model) of each machine system as well as of the whole machine. This book provides a unique and unitary approach of the engineering concepts, construction, and calculations.

Objective: The present study examines the emotional correlates of non-suicidal self-injury behavior among Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong. Method: A total of 5423 high school students (52.8% females and 47.2% males, aged between 12 and 20 years) completed a selfreported questionnaire assessing negative emotions, emotional reactivity, distress tolerance, impulsivity, and NSSI in class. Results: Findings revealed that 31.1% of participants had ...

Mechanical engineering, an engineering discipline born of the needs of the industrial revolution, is once again asked to do its substantial share in the call for industrial renewal. The general call is urgent as we face profound is­ sues of productivity and competitiveness that require engineering solutions, among others. The Mechanical Engineering Series features graduate texts and research monographs intended to address the need for informat...

The influence of size effects on the properties of nanostructures is subject of this book. Size and interfacial effects in oxides, semiconductors, magnetic and superconducting nanostructures, from very simple to very complex, are considered. The most general meaning is assumed for size effects, including not only the influence of a reduced dimension/dimensionality, but also specific interfacial effects. Preparation and characterization tools a...
