This interdisciplinary book presents a joint framework with the unified quantum-mechanical theories of resonant scattering, spectroscopy, and signal processing. It deals with S- and R-matrices, variational principles, complex coordinate scaling, wave packet propagation, Fredholm determinants, finite-rank separable expansions, filter diagonalisation, the Lanczos algorithm, and the Padé methodology. Being both mathematically and physically rigorous, the book can be successfully used in optimally quantifying resonances in physics, chemistry, biology, and medical diagnostics as well as in the applied area of signal processing.

Our system of contract law depends for its legitimacy on the idea that contract law only concerns private agreements between private parties and nothing else. As such, conventional wisdom holds that contract law is a private law subject, not a public law subject. This book challenges that view. It makes the case that contract law is, in fact, a matter of public law. It makes two central arguments. First, contract law is public law because the role of the State in the field of public law is neither neutral nor minimal. Second, contract law is public law because, as a direct result of the way contract law operates in practice, it helps to create and perpetuate inequality in society. The book therefore argues that because contract law is actually public law, it must be analysed in terms of equality, not individualism and autonomy. Only in so doing can contract law be reimagined in ways that not only reflect reality but also help us to live up to our own aspirations individually and collectively. This work helps us to rethink the nature of contract law and to redraw the map of law more generally.

Examines the content and practices in contemporary American Indian feature filmmaking.

Because an infant is not merely a small adult, an infant autopsy in not simply a small adult autopsy. Specific procedures, factors, and considerations must be accounted for as part of the process. Data obtained from an infant autopsy, in a medicolegal context, should all but eliminate cases of apparent SIDS or ¿unexplained infant deaths¿. True cases of unexplained infant deaths should be rare in any system of death investigation. The book provides structure and clarity to the infant forensic autopsy process through an experiential and evidential basis. It is a current, comprehensive "user¿s manual¿ for both the training and practicing forensic pathologist charged with infant autopsies.

Organizations associated with projects present a whole series of challenges for HR systems and the managers that design and implement them. Projects are temporary, often involve employees working across disciplines and reporting lines, include their own communication networks, require different approaches to reward and motivation and tend to run counter to many of the systems designed for business-as-usual operation. Martina Huemann's Project-Oriented Human Resource Management offers HR specialists a practical guide to projects, project management and the specific features of the project organization.

This book explores the constantly shifting affinities and disaffinities between philosophical and religious thought, with an emphasis on the specific strand of thinking which has come to be known as neo-Nietzscheanism. Jones Irwin explores how these neo-Nietzschean thinkers develop an original thinking of the religious, and its relation to philosophy, and how this religious thinking has its sources in Nietzsche''s own complex relationship to religion and theology.

This agenda-setting book argues that Trial by Media is redefining the meaning and nature of justice in a multi-media world.
