If you are looking to extend your iOS programming skills beyond the basics then More iPhone Development with Objective-C is for you. Authors Dave Mark, Jayant Varma, Jeff LaMarche, Alex Horovitz, and Kevin Kim explain concepts as only they can-with code snippets you can customize and use, as you like, in your own apps.More iPhone Development with Objective-C is an independent companion to Beginning iPhone Development with Objective-C. That is, it is a perfect second book, but it is also a great book for those looking to improve their skills who have already programmed for iOS. In particular it includes a series of chapters devoted to Core Data, the standard for Apple persistence. The authors carefully step through each Core Data concept and show techniques and tips specifically for writing larger apps-offering a breadth of coverage you won't find anywhere else. More iPhone Development with Objective-C covers a variety of other topics, including Multipeer Connectivity's relatively simple Bluetooth/WiFi peer-to-peer model, MapKit, and media library access and playback so that your applications can utilize media on your users' computer. You'll also find coverage of Interface Builder, Live Previews and Custom Controls and some advanced techniques for debugging your applications. The book is filled with useful topics that will bring your programs up-to-date with the new functionality built into iOS.

Das Buch bietet eine sehr praktisch ausgerichtete Einführung in die Probleme des Strahlenschutzes, seine physikalischen Grundlagen ¿ wie die Wechselwirkung ionisierender Strahlung mit Materie ¿ die biologische Strahlenwirkung, die Quellen der Strahlenbelastung aus unserer Umwelt, die Messmethoden im Strahlenschutz (Dosimetrie) und die praktische Wahrnehmung des Strahlenschutzes. Das notwendige Wissen für den Umgang mit radioaktiven Stoffen wird anhand zahlreicher Beispiele, (vorgerechneter) Übungsaufgaben und einfacher Experimente praxisnah vorgestellt. Die im Verwaltungsdeutsch abgefassten Paragraphen der Strahlenschutzverordnung werden in lesbarer Form auf das Wesentliche reduziert. Ein umfangreiches Glossar erleichtert den Zugang zum Stoffinhalt. Die vierte Auflage wurde durch Kapitel über Kernkraftwerke, Strahlungsquellen und die Effekte Nicht-Ionisierender Strahlung ergänzt. Weiterhin enthält die neue Auflage Zerfallsschemata einiger häufig im Strahlenschutz verwendeter Isotopeund eine vereinfachte Nuklidkarte. Die Kapitel aus der dritten Auflage wurden überarbeitet und auf den neuesten Stand der Technik gebracht. Zur Auflockerung des Textes wurden weitere wissenschaftliche Cartoons eingearbeitet.

Die dynamische Entwicklung der Lebenswissenschaften unterwirft die menschliche Natur in zunehmendem Maß der Möglichkeit technischer Intervention. Dieser Prozess erreicht mit der Option verbessernder Eingriffe in die genetische Ausstattung des Menschen eine neue Dimension, die ethische, politische und zunehmend auch rechtliche Debatten ausgelöst hat, in denen tiefgreifende normative Dissense sichtbar werden.Die Autorin erörtert zunächst die Zulässigkeit von Maßnahmen des genetischen Enhancements anhand des geltenden deutschen Rechts und analysiert künftige gesetzliche Regelungsoptionen. Sodann wirft sie die Frage auf, ob die Begründung einer Unverfügbarkeit der Natürlichkeit des menschlichen Genoms mit Argumenten, die sich im Rahmen einer säkularen, religiös neutralen Rechtsordnung als rechtliche formulieren lassen, möglich ist oder ob die Vorstellung eines schlechthin unverfügbaren natürlichen Substrats des Menschen nur von einem Staat um- und durchgesetzt werden kann, der, wider dem von der Theorie des politischen Liberalismus (John Rawls) postulierten Erfordernis der public justification, nicht auf jede religiös-transzendente Verankerung des Rechts verzichtet.

The intention of the inaugural meeting of the Sant Cugat Forum on Astrophysics was to address, in a global context, the understanding of and challenges in high-energy emissions from isolated and non-isolated neutron stars. In keeping with the goals of the Forum, this book represents the proceedings of the meeting.

One of the main applications of statistical smoothing techniques is nonparametric regression. Smoothing techniques in regression as well as other statistical methods are increasingly applied in biosciences and economics. Introduced are new developments in scatterplot smoothing and applications in statistical modelling.

As more and more information is being computerized, it is becoming harder and harder to share. When everything was on paper, people could read reports written by other people working in the same profession. But when everything is in the computer, it cannot be read without software that is compatible with the software that produced it. For highly structured information in databases and knowledge bases, the problem is getting worse. Even with identical software, the information cannot be used without a precise specification of its structure and meaning. Further progress in sharing and integrating information depends on formal methods for specifying meaning. This book reports on a project that addresses that problem: it adopts a formal language for specifying meaning as the central focus for systems analysis, design, and development. The formalism is conceptual graphs - a system of logic with a graphical representation that has a direct mapping to and from natural languages. As part of the project, the authors have studied a variety of notations and metho­ dologies that are being used for database design and systems analysis. They show how conceptual graphs can be used as a unifying language that can be translated to and from the other notations. Unlike older systems of logic, such as predicate calculus, conceptual graphs are a highly readable form of logic that clarifies rather than obscures the underlying relationships.
