This text examines the negative practices of schools which are resulting in school systems failing students. Such practices include intrusive authoritarian administrative structures and procedures, inappropriate discipline, unrealistic expectations, and placid exceptance of exclusionary practices. Indeed, educational systemic violence includes any practice or procedure that prevents students from learning, thus harming them. Taking a close loo...

This book is an introduction to the general theory of second order parabolic differential equations, which model many important, time-dependent physical systems. It studies the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of solutions to a variety of problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions and general linear and nonlinear boundary conditions by means of a priori estimates. The first seven chapters give a description of the linear theory and are s...

Nestled between Pilot Mountain and the Blue Ridge Mountains, Yadkin County, North Carolina, is a beautiful region inhabited by energetic, hardworking Americans, descendants of the pioneers who settled there over two hundred years ago. A rural setting that is close to major metropolitan areas, the county's special appeal is its unique way of incorporating change while preserving its heritage and family values. Yadkin County: The First One Hundr...

From humble beginnings as a rustic settlement formed around a chapel on a hill--New Hope Chapel Hill--in the mid-eighteenth century, Chapel Hill has attained international recognition as one of the foremost centers of education in the United States. Despite the fact that their town is flourishing, Chapel Hillians still think of it as a village, and it is the combination of a small Southern town and a concentration of creative, progressive peop...

Marblehead, Massachusetts, is a proud community steeped in history, and many fine images of its past still survive today. Paintings from the colonial period and engravings from the mid-nineteenth century complement the town's photographic record, which begins around 1865. In Marblehead Volume I, historian John Hardy Wright has brought together many of these images for the first time in a published work. This illuminating pictorial history focu...

Pawtucket Volume II covers the history of the city from 1864 to 1996, and highlights the accomplishments of its citizens. Famous Pawtucket natives like singer Nelson Eddy and major-leaguer Chester "Chet" Nichols are spotlighted, as well as less well-known but equally significant contributors to the civic and social history of the city. Many images in this volume have been drawn from the collections of the Spaulding House Research Library, the ...

This account tracks the return to teaching of John Loughran, a teacher educator and educational researcher. After years of educating student teachers, he went back into the classroom for a year to practice what he himself had been teaching, but was often met with difficult pupil behaviour and unforeseen problems. Split into three sections, this book covers: * a teachera (TM)s perspective on teaching* the studentsa (TM) perspective on teachin...

For 500 years Catholicism has been the dominant religious force throughout Latin America.

The ¿Cognitive Map¿ (Tolman, 1948) is a key notion in spatial processing studies. It refers to high level spatial representations. Although widely used, this term remains ambiguous. The aim of this book is two-fold: (1) to examine the most noteworthy studies (in laboratory settings) which have contributed during the last five decades to a better understanding of animal spatial representations, (2) to provide some hints for future research.Spat...

∗ A remarkable, first-hand account of the experiences of international inspectors who visited the police stations, prisons, psychiatric institutions of many countries in Europe including the UK, Spain, Turkey, and France.

Day surgery is a major innovation in the delivery of medical care to a growing number of patients. It presents many new and unique challenges for nurses. "Principles of Day Surgery Nursing" provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of day surgery with which nurses and their support staff will need to be familiar.

This book includes a selection of twelve carefully revised papers chosen from the papers accepted for presentation at the 4th IEEE/Nagoya-University World Wisepersons Workshop held in Nagoya in November 1995. The combining of the technologies of fuzzy logic, neural networks, and evolutionary computation is expected to open up a new paradigm of machine learning for the realization of human-like information generating systems. The excellent pape...

The RPC-memory specification problem was proposed by Broy and Lamport as a case study in the formal design of distributed and concurrent systems. As a realistic example typical for operating systems and hardware design, the RPC-memory problem was used as the basis for comparing various approaches to formal specification, refinement, and verification. Preliminary solutions were discussed during a workshop at Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, in Septem...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 23rd International Seminar on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Informatics, SOFSEM '96, held in Milovy, Czech Republic, in November 1996. The volume presents a unique collection of 19 invited papers competently surveying the field. These papers are organized in sections on fundamentals, distributed and parallel computing, AI and control systems, databases and electronic documents, scientific...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery, DGCI'96, held in Lyon, France, in November 1996. Computer imaging essentially depends on discrete models for coding, processing, recognition, representation, etc. The volume presents 24 revised full papers selected from 41 submissions together with 3 invited contributions and a tutorial paper, which bridges the gap betwee...

This book presents the theoretical aspects and practical development of a computer vision system for searching an image for a specified model object, this system is reliable, tolerates imperfections in the image and model, and is fast enough for real-world applications. A number of search techniques are evaluated. The capabilities of the author's image search system are demonstrated on a variety of examples, and applications using it to track ...

Aus dem Vorwort der Autoren: " bereits in früheren Auflagen sind uns auch bei dieser Auflage der Motivationscharakter und die Einfachheit der Ausführungen wichtiger als exakte Beweise und technische Freiheiten. Wir glauben, dass die vorliegende Auflage für den praxisorientierten Studenten, auch ohne große mathematische Kenntnisse, attraktiver und besser lesbar geworden ist. Dennoch sind wir der Meinung, dass die Theorie der Operations Research...
