Cultural Economics and Cultural Policies offers a unique guide to the state of the art in cultural economics. First, it alerts scholars and students to the necessity for careful definition and measurement of the `cultural sector'. Second, it affords examples of how economic analysis can shed light on the motivation of creative and performing artists and of artistic enterprises. Third, Cultural Economics and Cultural Policies widens the discuss...

The almost universal presence of water in our everyday lives and the very `common' nature of its presence and properties possibly deflects attention from the fact that it has a number of very unusual characteristics which, furthermore, are found to be extremely sensitive to physical parameters, chemical environment and other influences. Hydrogen-bonding effects, too, are not restricted to water, so it is necessary to investigate other systems ...

Church Universal and Triumphant is a new religious movement in the Theosophical tradition. It has proved controversial for reasons connected with the purchase of illegal weapons, the construction of fallout shelters and a reputation for being a potential "Waco". This is a study of the movement.

As we approach the end of the present century, the elementary particles of light (photons) are seen to be competing increasingly with the elementary particles of charge (electrons/holes) in the task of transmitting and processing the insatiable amounts of infonnation needed by society. The massive enhancements in electronic signal processing that have taken place since the discovery of the transistor, elegantly demonstrate how we have learned ...

Using the rhythm of a famous nursery rhyme, the author relates the happenings along the farmer's route as he walks from house to barn to milk his cow. The youngest listener can "read" along simply by looking at the colorful pictures. Another gem from the author/artist of the Caldecott Honor Book Have You Seen My Duckling?. Full color.

When Luka's grandmother makes a traditional Hawaiian quilt for her, she and Luka disagree over the colors it should include.

This manual provides general information, design criteria and procedures, static and dynamic analysis procedures, temperature studies, concrete testing requirements, foundation investigation requirements, and instrumentation and construction information for the design of concrete arch dams. The guidance provided in this manual is based on state of the art in this field as practiced at the time of publication. This manual will be updated as cha...

Zu Beginn der 80er Jahre wurde die Palette der Investmentfonds tiber Aktien-und Rentenfonds hinaus urn sogenannte "Futures Funds" erweitert. Es handelt sich dabei urn Gesellschaften, welche die ihnen anvertrauten Gelder an den Terminmarkten investieren. Seit Beginn der 90er Jahre bieten auch deutsche Kapitalanlagegesellschaften dieses Produkt an. -Der Verfasser hat sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, die Entstehung der Futures Funds aus dem Kontext des ...

Nearly half of the known species of mammals alive today (more than 1600) are rodents or "gnawing mammals" (Nowak and Paradiso, 1983). The diversity of rodents is greater than that of any other order of mammals. Thus, it is not surprising that the fossil record of this order is extensive and fossil material of rodents from the Tertiary is known from all continents except Antarctica and Australia. The purpose of this book is to compile the publi...

Despite reservoirs of moral discourse about duties in religious communities, professional caregiving traditions, and philosophical perspectives, the dominant moral language in contemporary biomedical ethics is that of `rights'. Duties to Others begins to correct this imbalance in our ethical language through theoretical expositions of the ideas of duty and of the `other', and by applied exemplifications of particular duties to identified other...

In brief summary, the following results were presented in this work: . A linear time approach was developed to find register requirements for any specified CS schedule or filled MRT. . An algorithm was developed for finding register requirements for any kernel that has a dependence graph that is acyclic and has no data reuse on machines with depth independent instruction templates. . We presented an efficient method of estimating register requ...

All work is work in progress. The ideas developed in this work could be (and probably will be) developed further, revised, and expanded. But it was time to write them down and send them out. Some of these ideas about linking had their origins in my 1987 dissertation. However, this work has grown beyond the dissertation in a number of important ways. The most important of these advances lie in, first, articulating aspectual roles as linguistic ...

The end of the Soviet Union, and of the Cold War, mark a revolutionary watershed in Russia's relations with the Third World. This book of essays, many written by policy-makers in today's Russia, aims to contribute to debate on political, social and economic developments in international relations.

The NATO Advanced Study Institute on "Algorithms for continuous optimiza­ tion: the state of the art" was held September 5-18, 1993, at II Ciocco, Barga, Italy. It was attended by 75 students (among them many well known specialists in optimiza­ tion) from the following countries: Belgium, Brasil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Spain, Turkey, UK, USA, Venezuela. The lectures we...

The aim of this book is to develop a new approach which we called the hyper­ geometric one to the theory of various integral transforms, convolutions, and their applications to solutions of integro-differential equations, operational calculus, and evaluation of integrals. We hope that this simple approach, which will be explained below, allows students, post graduates in mathematics, physicists and technicians, and serious mathematicians and r...

A comprehensive compilation concerned with a variety of modern methods being used worldwide to improve soil and rock conditions supporting new and remedial construction. Ground water lowering and drainage techniques, soil compaction, excavation support methods, permeation and jet grouting are among the many topics discussed.

This book is the culmination of a research program conducted in Colombia during the past several years. The fundamental aim of the program was to develop neuropsychological tests for Spanish speakers, especially elderly individuals and those with limited edu­ cational attainment. The lack of norms for these populations repre­ sents a significant practical problem not only in developing countries but also in more developed countries. For exampl...

Throughout most of this century, progress in Polymer Science took place by way of studies of dilute polymer solutions and of the solid state. More recently, attention has been focused on the semi-dilute regime. The elucidation of transi­ ent network and temporal gel states under conditions of moderate concentra­ tion by numerous hydrodynamic and optical techniques is now well established and a solid theoretical underpinning for these phenomena...
