Two dozen scientists met in France to expound their views on the physical, biological and physiological mechanisms creating patterns we see in molecules, plants, insects, seashells and even the human brain. This volume comprises surveys of different aspects of pattern formation and recognition.

The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. New theory, new controllers, actuators, sensors, new industrial processes, computer methods, new applications, new philosophies ... , new challenges. Much of this development work resides in industrial reports, feasibility study paper...

A quick reference to all the important facts in the clinical sciences for candidates aiming at a postgraduate qualification in obstetrics and gynaecology, including those candidates studying for the MRCOG Part II examination. The text has been revised and updated, but the concise style and comprehensive coverage of all the essential aspects are retained. Written by a highly expert team of authors, this will be an invaluable reference for stude...

Plant breeding, animal breeding, medical genetics and the genetics of industrial fungi are usually taught separately, but they are all linked by strong central concepts regarding the generation, control and fate of genetic variation at the levels of genes, chromosomes, genomes and populations. Mutation, recombination, selection, population genetics and karyotype changes are involved, together with breeding systems.This book constitutes an inte...

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Die Informations- und Wissensgesellschaft wird in der fachlichen und gesellschaftlichen Diskussion immer wieder als ökonomisches Gegenwarts- und Zukunftsmodell angeführt. Die exponentielle Zunahme an Information zwingt die Unternehmen zu einer ständigen Anpassung des Wissens ihrer Mitarbeiter an die aktuelle Entwicklung. Unternehmen investieren entsprechend erhebliche Summen in den Bereich der betrieblichen Weiterbil...

Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Two evolutionary approaches of allocating tasks onto a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) are presented. Offline task arrangement: whenever a set of tasks has to be arranged onto an FPGA in practice, one is interested in arranging a maximum number of tasks which efficiently utilize the FPGA area. A genetic algorithm is proposed searching for an arrangement of tasks offline, i.e. before the tasks are physically place...

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Die Versicherungsgesellschaften in Deutschland haben erkannt, daß neben dem Konkurrenzkampf um Kunden auch der Kampf um Investoren getreten ist. Diese aber wollen den Erfolg ihrer Investition nachgewiesen haben. Darum ist der Bedarf an neuen und effektiven Steuerungskonzepten gewachsen. Hier wird das Shareholder Value Konzept als Maßstab herangezogen, da Erfolgskennzahlen des Rechnungswesens als nicht mehr ausreichen...

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: In der Reformpädagogik wird das derzeitige Konzept von Schule in immer neuen Ansätzen in Frage gestellt. Schule müsse sich vor allem deshalb ändern, weil sich die Lebens- und Lernwelten von Kindern und Jugendlichen in den letzten Jahren in einem radikalen Wandel befänden. Aus diesem Grund soll der Gegenstand der vorliegenden Untersuchung die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit dem Begründungszusammenhang von Sc...

The fourth evolutionary/adaptive computing conference at the University of Plymouth again explores the utility of various evolutionary/adaptive search algorithms and complementary computational intelligence techniques within design and manufacturing. The content of the following chapters represents a selection of the diverse set of papers presented at the conference that relate to both engineering design and also to more general design areas. ...

the results of the book are very interesting and profound and can be read successfully without preliminary knowledge. It is written with a great didactical mastery, clearly and precisely It can be recommended not only for specialists on integration theory, but also for a large scale of readers, mainly for postgraduate students".Mathematics Abstracts

This intelligent work (a 2001 Lambda Literary Foundation Gay Male Biography/Autobiography Award finalist) is a personal narrative that considers the social, religious, and emotional aspects of growing up as a Southern gay male. The author describes how gay men develop close bonds, or a "family of choice, " rather than a "family of blood, " that provides a nurturing environment thought by many only to occur in a heterosexual context. Students, ...

This invaluable volume consist of five articles covering a wide range of topics in coastal engineering. The reader can find a paper discussing the modern optical measurement techniques applied to wave studies. An introductory paper on wavelet theory provides readers with a new perspective on coastal and ocean engineering data analysis. For those who are interested in wave modeling, a review article on the stochastic evolution models is include...

This book presents the latest research on adsorption science and technology. It covers various aspects of materials, solid characterization, equilibria, kinetics determination and new processes.

Nach 1945 erschien auf dem deutschen Buchmarkt eine kaum überschaubare Fülle autobiographischer Publikationen. Die intensive Selbstreflexion führt zu einer Problematisierung der eigenen Biographie und in weiterer Konsequenz die Schriftsteller zu experimentellen Variationen des autobiographischen Erzählens: Erweiterungen des Erzählrepertoires, Montagetechnik, Variationen der Rahmenerzählung, fiktionale Elemente innerhalb der Autobiographie, Ste...

An AHA Press/Jossey-Bass Resource Untapped Options is an invaluable resource for health care leaders who want to help their organizations succeed. Bea Northcott and Janette Helm, experts in the field of health care management, have created a practical approach that explores how human resources and marketing managers can combine forces and work together to create mission, vision, and values statements that will drive a common strategy to organi...

It is known that nuclear shells play a particularly important role in the collective motion of nuclear matter and, as a consequence, determine the structure of nuclei, nuclear dynamics, nuclear decay models, etc.In 1999 the nuclear shell model turned fifty, and the 49th meeting on Nuclear Spectroscopy and Nuclear Structure was devoted to nuclear shells in their various manifestations. The talks presented at the conference covered a wide range ...

Network algebra considers the algebraic study of networks and their behavior. It approaches the models in a sharp and simple manner. This book takes an integrated view of a broad range of applications, varying from concrete hardware-oriented models to high-level software-oriented models.

This volume contains lectures on several topics of great current relevance in strong interaction physics. The lectures were presented at the 13th Annual HUGS at CEBAF summer school to an audience of advanced PhD students, both theorists and experimentalists. They reflect the current trend of nuclear physics research, shaped to a large extent by the experimental progress allowed by facilities such as CEBAF at Jefferson Lab, where the study of n...

This book introduces the reader to a novel method of mathematical description, analysis and design of digital control systems, which makes it possible to take into account, in the most complete form, specific features of interaction between continuous-time and discrete time processes.

These essays emerge from a Lilly-funded seminar and conference on the history of Catholic higher education in America, held at Saint Louis University in 1996-1997. Each essay treats a specific aspect of the development of Catholic higher education, most on the period 1960-1990.
