Seit mehr als 100 Jahren steht das Laufen im Mittelpunkt wissenschaftlichen Interesses. Die Entwicklung des Wissensgutes um die zentrale Bewegungsfertigkeit des Menschen neben dem Gehen, lässt sich an der Entwicklung der Messtechnik beschreiben. So wurden neben der Chronofotografie Filmanalysen durchgeführt, die erste Erkenntnisse über das Bewegungsverhalten des Menschen beim Laufen erbrachten. Neben der Weiterentwicklung der kinematischen Ver...

Der Fehlzeiten-Report informiert jährlich umfassend über die Krankenstandsentwicklung in der deutschen Wirtschaft. Detailliert werden die Fehlzeiten für die einzelnen Branchen sowie deren Muster und Gründe dargestellt. Der Report 2011 behandelt außerdem das Schwerpunktthema "Führung und Gesundheit": Führungskräfte spielen für die Leistungsfähigkeit der Mitarbeiter eine besondere Rolle - und sie sind oft selbst hohen Belastungen ausgesetzt.

A subfield of artificial intelligence, machine learning (ML), is concerned with the development of algorithms that allow computers to "learn". ML is the process of training a system with large number of examples, extracting rules and finding patterns in order to make predictions on new data points (examples). As a first motivation, we develop a model selection tool induced into SVM in order to solve a particular problem of computational biolog...

Lipid mediators are chemical messengers that are formed in response to cell stimulation or injury from membrane phospholipids, sphingolipid, and cholesterol. They play important roles in internal and external communication and modulate cellular responses such as the growth arrest, differentiation, adhesion, and migration. Lipid mediators of arachidonic acid (ARA) metabolism include prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes, lipoxins, whereas ...

The book provides a comprehensive introduction to compact finite difference methods for solving boundary value ODEs with high accuracy. The corresponding theory is based on exact difference schemes (EDS) from which the implementable truncated difference schemes (TDS) are derived. The TDS are now competitive in terms of efficiency and accuracy with the well-studied numerical algorithms for the solution of initial value ODEs. Moreover, various a...

How do educators and parents determine when to offer and when to withhold guidance to best support learners? For centuries, this question has been at the heart of a fundamental inquiry for educators and researchers. Seeking to answer this question, this book presents a study of the impact of different timings of pedagogical intervention in second / foreign language education. In a set of comprehensible narratives, the author reviews a wide ran...

Species of horse gram are been cultivated in some parts of India, however these species are completely unnoticed for...

The book is based on research conducted at 13 different motion picture shoots through participant observation. The conclusions of the research establish a relationship between evolution of individual roles within teams and expression of new ideas within the team. The process of role evolution outlined in the book also shows how different stages of role evolution affects the fluency of expression of new ideas in a creative team. The book also t...

Conditional cash transfers (CCTs) have become a popular social policy initiative for improving child health in developing countries since the mid 90s. The primary aim of CCTs is to improve the human capital of children via the provision of cash transfers to households under conditions relating to children's health care, nutrition and education. To date, a number of studies have been conducted on CCTs' impact on child health and nutrition but n...

Coral reefs are among the most diverse and complex aquatic ecosystems in the world. For years, they have been over-exploited for their rich natural resources. With a number of anthropogenic and natural stresses added to the equation, the status of most coral reefs is becoming increasingly threatened. Climate change, pollution, overfishing and other threats have all contributed to the rapid degradation of the quality of reefs around the world a...

Ever changing global markets with complex structures forced many actors to modify their systems. These actors who make up the financial system range from financial markets to banks all the way down to simple investors. Especially for banking, significant events of the early 1970s like the discontinuation of fixed exchange rate and the petroleum crises of 1974, had significant effects to trigger authorities even more to establish a sound global...

The nature of a two-wheeled vehicle poses several interesting control questions. Industrial applications of such vehicles will arise to a great extent in the coming few years, for instance, material handling in narrow paths and assistive technologies. This book investigates modelling and control of a novel design of a two wheeled vehicle with additional mobility feature along its intermediate body. It is considered to be the first in investiga...

Im Mittelpunkt des Buchs steht ein bisher weitgehend unerforschtes Arbeitsgebiet des niederländischen Mathematikers van der Waerden: seine Beiträge zur gruppentheoretischen Methode in der Quantenmechanik um 1930. Entstehungsgeschichte, Inhalt und Wirkung werden von der Autorin detailliert herausgearbeitet und die damalige Kontroverse um den Nutzen der gruppentheoretischen Methode erörtert. Dadurch legt sie nicht nur die Vielschichtigkeit von M...
