This volume contains revised and extended research articles written by prominent researchers who participated in the international conference on Advances in Engineering Technologies, which was held in Hong Kong, 12-14 March, 2014.

This book brings together numerous contributions to the field of magnetoelectric (ME) composites that have been reported so far.

This book promotes the experimental mathematics approach in the context of secondary mathematics curriculum by exploring mathematical models depending on parameters that were typically considered advanced in the pre-digital education era.

This book explores schools and how they can function as social institutions that advance the interests and life chances of all young people, especially those who are already the most marginalized and at an educational disadvantage.

Perspectives on Social Ontology and Social Cognition brings together contributions discussing issues arising from theoretical and empirical research on social ontology and social cognition.

Thus, here presented is a collection of papers written by bioethics experts from six major world religions-Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism-who were gathered to discuss the meaning and implications of the principle of vulnerability in their respective traditions.

Global Perspectives on Subsidiarity is the first book of its kind exclusively devoted to the principle of subsidiarity.

This book covers both qualitative and quantitative approaches to give insights of modeling TSV in a various viewpoints such as signal integrity, power integrity and thermal integrity.

This is to advocate for a shift in emphasis, away from current juridical approaches to ethics (ethical codes or regulation), toward ethics as an aesthetic practice-away from ethics as a minimal requirement, toward ethics as an aspiration.

This book presents a review of Deleuze's key methods and concepts in the course of exploring how these methods may be applied in contemporary studies of health and illness.

This book deals with foundation law in various European countries.

Casuistry, Virtue and Business Ethics brings together three important processes for business ethics: casuistry, virtue ethics and the business case method.

Rasch Analysis in the Human Sciences helps individuals, both students and researchers, master the key concepts and resources needed to use Rasch techniques for analyzing data from assessments to measure variables such as abilities, attitudes, and personality traits.

This book starts with a discussion of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, bifurcation theory and Hamiltonian dynamics.

I have included those parts of quantum mechanics which are of greatest fundamental interest and utility, and have developed those parts of classical mechanics which relate to and illuminate them. I present in one course the basics of theoretical mechanics and quantum mechanics, to emphasise the continuity between them;

The challenge presented by the recent tendencies to "naturalize" phenomenology, on the basis of the progress in biological and neurological sciences, calls for an investigation of the traditional mind-body problem.

Viele Unternehmen haben agile Methoden in ihren Arbeitsalltag integriert. Oft stellen sie fest, dass neue Ideen und Entwicklungsvorsprünge durch agile Arbeit von starren Organisationsstrukturen, Ziel- und Anreizsystemen ausgebremst werden. Agilität funktioniert nur, wenn zur agilen Zusammenarbeit auch agile Organisationsstrukturen und agile Unternehmensstrategien hinzukommen. Auf der Basis eigener Forschung und umfangreicher Projekterfahrungen zeigen die Autoren, für welche Unternehmensbereiche und Aufgaben Agilität geeignet ist und für welche nicht, welcher nachweisbare Nutzen und welche Risiken durch Agilität entstehen und wie der Weg zur agilen Organisation erfolgreich gemeistert werden kann.

The creative work of Andrei N. Kolmogorov is exceptionally wide-ranging. In his studies on trigonometric and orthogonal series, the theory of measure and inte­gral, mathematical logic, approximation theory, geometry, topology, functional analysis, classical mechanics, ergodic theory, superposition of functions, and in­ formation theory, he solved many conceptual and fundamental problems and posed new questions which gave rise to a great deal of further research. Kolmogorov is one of the founders of the Soviet school of probability theory, mathematical statistics, and the theory of turbulence. In these areas he obtained a number of central results, with many applications to mechanics, geophysics, linguistics and biology, among other subjects. This edition includes Kolmogorov's most important papers on mathematics and the natural sciences. It does not include his philosophical and ped­agogical studies, his articles written for the "Bolshaya Sovetskaya Entsiklopediya", his papers on prosody and applications of mathematics or his publications on general questions. The material of this edition was selected and compiled by Kolmogorov himself.The first volume consists of papers on mathematics and also on turbulence and classical mechanics. The second volume is devoted to probability theory and mathematical statistics. The focus of the third volume is on information theory and the theory of algorithms.

Die Forderung nach evidenzbasiertem Wissen uber die Wirksamkeit von Sprachfoerderkonzepten im Elementarbereich wird immer groesser. Oft fehlt jedoch eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Belastbarkeit und Aussagekraft von gewonnenen Forschungsergebnissen. Wie ist der Status Quo bei Wirkungsevaluationen von Sprachfoerdermassnahmen?

Dieses Buch enthält insgesamt 730 Biographien der zwischen 1803 und 1932 an der Universität Heidelberg lehrenden Ordinarien, außerordentlichen Professoren und Honorarprofessoren. Es ist die zweite Auflage des 1986 erstmals erschienenen "Heidelberger Gelehrtenlexikon 1803-1932" und stellt den Vorläufer- sowie Fortsetzungsband der bereits publizierten Heidelberger Gelehrtenlexika 1386-1651, 1652-1802 und 1933-1986 dar. Die Eckdaten 1803 und 1932 markieren zum einen den Übergang der bisherigen pfälzischen Universität an Baden und der Reorganisation der Universität ab 1803 sowie zum anderen die nachhaltige Veränderung des wissenschaftlich-geistigen Profils der Ruperto-Carola durch die "Säuberung" des Dritten Reichs nach 1932. Aufbau und Anlage der Biographien bleiben auch in der 2. Auflage - wie in den bereits erschienenen Gelehrtenlexika - unverändert. Dadurch sind alle Bände 1386-1986 für prosopographische Untersuchungen prädestiniert. Die Informationen zum akademischen Lebenslauf, zu Werkverzeichnis, Sekundärliteratur und über Familienangehörige der Biographierten wurden erheblich erweitert.
