Cloud physics has achieved such a voluminous literature over the past few decades that a significant quantitative study of the entire field would prove unwieldy. cloud electricity, which deals with the electrical structure of clouds and the electrification processes of cloud and precipi tation particles;

The central question in the philosophy of time is whether time is tensed or tenseless, viz., whether the moments of time are objectively past, present or future, or whether they are ordered merely by the tenseless temporal relations earlier than, simultaneous with, and later than.

Coming from what is arguably the most productive period of Husserl's life, this volume offers the reader a first translation into English of Husserl's renowned lectures on `passive synthesis', given between 1920 and 1926.

The pivot of their theory is the idea of webbing, which explains how someone struggling with a new mathematical idea can draw on supportive knowledge, and reconciles the individual's role in mathematical learning with the part played by epistemological, social and cultural forces.

Wittgenstein was far too impatient to explain in his books and book drafts what his problems were, what it was that he was trying to get clear about. For one important instance, in The Brown Book, Wittgenstein had explained in some detail what name-object relationships amount to in his view.

Scholars have produced a wide variety of theoretical work on contract law. Each chapter presents a pair of largely contrasting theories to clarify the central issue of contract law and theory, to set forth the range of views, and to help identify a practical middle ground.

Subsequently, the Second International Workshop on Professional Education and Training held here at the University of Florida in December 1988 recommended that the preparation of an introductory textbook be undertaken as a priority activity for supporting agroforestry education world-wide.

One aim of this handbook is to help you choose the correct tool for the job at hand, understand its strengths and weaknesses, and to help you recognize when you should seek expert advice.

Today, courses on biophysics are taught in almost all universities in the world, often in separate biophysics departments or divisions. However, because of the increased proliferation of biophysics into higher education, the need for introductory course texts on biophysics is stronger than ever.

This second edition has been completely revised to include further development of the two-component theory, including new treatments of boundedness, dynamism and a general account of aspectual shifts.

This development of higher quality and more sensitive equipment makes it very necessary to improve the accuracy of the measurements. This guide helps the astronomer and astronomy student to improve the quality of their photometric measurements and to extract a maximum of information from their observations.

Knowledge of the principles and methods of petroleum sedimentology is essential for oil and gas exploration and exploitation. This book is designed as an introductory text for students in petroleum geology and applied sedimentology as well as a useful companion for advanced technicians, explorationists, geophysicists and petroleum engineers.

The field of structural optimization is still a relatively new field undergoing rapid changes in methods and focus. There is still no shortage of new publications, but there are also exciting applications of the methods of structural optimizations in the automotive, aerospace, civil engineering, machine design and other engineering fields.

This proceedings volume includes articles presented during the Advanced Research Workshop on Soft Target Protection. The book presents important topics related to the protection of vulnerable objects and spaces, called Soft Targets.

Bärbel Römer untersucht in ihrer Masterarbeit, inwieweit die Kindheit, die Bindungsbefriedigung und die psychische Gesundheit Einfluss auf die Entwicklung und das spätere Leben des Menschen haben. Sie zeigt, dass bei der Entstehung von ¿persönlichen Macken¿ vielfältige Einflüsse eine Rolle spielen. Der Schwerpunkt ihrer Untersuchung liegt auf der Kindheit, der Bindungsbefriedigung und der psychischen Gesundheit. Anhand konkreter neurowissenschaftlicher Beispiele weist die Autorin nach, wie ein Überlernen bestehender Strukturen insbesondere bei ängstlichen und selbstunsicheren Persönlichkeiten durch Bewusstheit, Training und eine gezielte Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Persönlichkeit ein Leben lang möglich ist.Die AutorinBärbel Römer ist Mitinhaberin im interdisziplinären Therapiezentrum in Schalksmühle und betreibt gemeinsam mit Ihrem Lebenspartner Rainer Biesinger ¿ Der Heavy Metal Coach®, das Seminarhaus NRW® ¿ Die Lernwerkstatt für Persönlichkeit und Kompetenz. Sie ist Logopädin, Cranio-Sakral-Therapeutin sowie Stimm- und Persönlichkeitstrainerin.

Vitalij Sadovitch untersucht Auswirkungen von Registrierungsfehlern, die aufgrund technischer Limitationen bei einem Augmented Reality Head-up-Display auftreten können. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass derartige Fehler bei der Positionierung virtueller Anzeigeelemente die Systemakzeptanz der Nutzer maßgeblich beeinflussen. Des Weiteren werden fehlertolerante Gestaltungsmerkmale zur Kompensation von Registrierungsfehlern konzipiert und evaluiert. Die Erkenntnisse weisen darauf hin, dass eine fehlertolerante Anzeigengestaltung eine sinnvolle Ergänzung zu weiteren technischen Maßnahmen der Registrierungsoptimierung darstellt. ¿Der Autor:Vitalij Sadovitch studierte Wirtschaftsinformatik und Human Factors. Anschließend hat er berufsbegleitend mit der vorliegenden Schrift an der TU Berlin promoviert und ist jetzt im Bereich der Entwicklung von Anzeige- und Bedienkonzepten für Augmented-Reality-Technologien in der technischen Entwicklung einesAutomobilkonzerns tätig.
