De Mozes Code legt uit hoe het komt dat de wetten van het Universum soms wel en soms niet lijken te werken. Of is het misschien zo dat je alles wat zich nu in je leven bevindt hebt aangetrokken, ook datgene waar je niet zo blij mee bent? Als je open staat voor die gedachte, dan pas kun je geluk, overvloed en rijkdom accepteren. De Mozes Code zal je leren zo ver te komen. Of het nu iets groots of iets kleins is wat je wenst, dezelfde wetten gel...

People in developed countries spend the majority of their time indoors. Therefore, studying the effect of outdoor air quality on indoor air is of great importance to human health. This book presents several computer models that can be used to study this effect, analysis methods using these models, as well as measurement techniques and control strategies. Use of these tools is demonstrated using buildings in Fairbanks, Alaska, and pollutants of...

The purpose of this work is to assess divergent thinking using a new coding matrix composed of categories derived from neuropsychology and cognitive science theory. Using the matrix, interview data were coded and characterized for divergent production using ten coefficients: higher category responses, detail, spontaneous generation, perspective switching, category switches/probe and per utterance, different switches, detail/switching, new subj...

Unjustly accused in a minor sex scandal, Fr. Jon Armitage is exiled to a remote parish in northeastern New Mexico where his immersion in the lives of the villagers gives him insight into himself and his real calling.

Health information technology (HIT) is intended to expedite clinical work and to reduce the frequency of preventable medical errors. However, after several decades, HIT is yet to reach its full potential. Usability problems and difficult interaction have been identified as key barriers to high quality performance. This work presents a multifaceted cognitive methodology, the Distributed Cognitive Resources (DCR) framework for the characterizati...

Kurztext During the past half century the world human population has shifted from being localised mainly to rural areas to a situation where more than 50 % live in urban areas. This development has led to conflicts between continued urban expansion on the one hand and the maintenance of urban green space for biodiversity on the other. This work shows that green spaces are crucial for urban biodiversity as well as to the life quality and health...

This Research explores the Critical factors about the willingness of individual subscriber as well as the respective personal background and customer demand that affect the willingness to adopt the third Generation Mobile Communication Systems. Meanwhile, an analysis is conducted on the Critical factors about the willingness of adoption and the influence of customer demand that affect the willingness in adoption. Based on the Theory of Reasone...

The microwave imaging is generally perceived as the reconstruction of permittivity distribution function of the medium-under-test from the measurement of the scattered electromagnetic fields interacting with the medium. It has got application in the field of industrial and biomedical tomography, where different components or tissues may be differentiated due to their substantial difference in dielectric properties. One of the most crucial part...

In this work, Robert Krause of Oklahoma State University explores the dynamic interplay between agriculture, urban development, and human recreation on the Illinois River. In providing an environmental narrative for the region, the author argues that commercialized poultry production and the development of global corporations like Wal-Mart and Tyson Foods have left a largely negative impact upon the natural environment of northwest Arkansas an...

Film creates illusionary reality and manipulates its viewers through both technical and narrative techniques. However, what happens if the illusion of a film is destroyed by anti-illusion? FILMS ABOUT FILMMAKING deal with the confrontation of illusion and anti-illusion, of mystification and demystification. In her book Marion Matuella discusses the differences between conventional films and meta-films and their different effects on the viewer...

This book is concerned with the presentation of a general translation of term rewrite systems to logic programs such that basic rewriting derivations become logic deductions. In particular, this work is a review of a recent research paper on this very subject written by S. Limet and G. Salzer in which they present an algorithm that implements such a translation scheme for certain classes of term rewrite systems. Basically, their algorithm tak...

The business cycle is a complex phenomenon which attracts both scientific and public interest. But what are the defining characteristics of the business cycle? Is the business cycle asymmetric or non-linear? What can be said about the occurrence of turning points over time? This book gives an overview over the most popular non-linear time series models and their main characteristics and possible application to business cycle time series. The b...

This book analyzes the changing portrayal of Yugoslavia?s World War II experience in music, film, and literature. It argues that the disappearance of unifying themes from the cultural sphere opened the doors to the popularization of controversial and divisive subjects. Shifting perceptions of how Yugoslavs fought and survived the Second World War contributed to the destruction of Yugoslavia. The first chapter focuses on World War II in Yugosl...

The complex algebra of the emergence and evolution of Early Warning and early response systems in Africa is analysed through studying closely the actions of ECOWAS, IGAD and SADC. We examine their analytical capacity, their dependence on aid, their standby capacity, the degree of and quality of Early Warning Systems institutionalisation, the dominance of certain countries and the internal organisational dynamics of these regional organisations...

We work in the setting of time series of financial returns. Our starting point are the GARCH models, which are very common in practice. We introduce the possibility of having crashes in such GARCH models. A crash will be modeled by drawing innovations from a distribution with much mass on extremely negative events, while in normal times the innovations will be drawn from a normal distribution. The probability of a crash is modeled to be time ...

Like Greg Friedler's three previous studies-Naked New York, Naked Los Angeles, and Naked London-where each subject appears first clothed and then without clothes, these seventy-five people both confirm and contradict our assumptions about those who live and work in Sin City. Color photographs echo the gaudy surface of the Strip, but these people-including waitresses, teachers, sex workers, businessmen, transsexuals, taxi drivers, mothers, and ...

The literature of the behavioural and social sciences is full of theory and research on learning and memory. Teaching is comparatively a stepchild, neglected by those who have built a formidable body of theories of learning and memory. However, teaching is where learning and memory theory should pay off. "A Conception of Teaching" dedicates a chapter to each of the following important components: the need for a theory, the possibility of a the...
