This is the first comprehensive collection of original research reports on the status of street gangs and problematic youth groups in Europe, as well as a set of special, state-of-the-art reports on the current status of American street gang research and its implications for the European gang situation.

Provides a reference for parking structure designers, builders, and owners. This book addresses how to select the best functional and structural designs for a given situation, ensure long-term durability, design for easy maintenance, decide on the number and placement of entrances and exits, and design an easily understood wayfinding system.

It has become a tradition in the Union to publish the Invited Discourses and the Proceedings of the Joint Discussions held at a Gene ral Assembly in a separate volume entitled HIGHLIGHTS OF ASTRONOMY. Part (TI) contains the proceedings of the four Joint Discussions and one Joint Meeting related essentially to stars and the structure of our Galaxy.

General Practice is undergoing the most major series of changes since the introduction of the National Health Service in 1948.

This encyclopedia presents phenomenological thought and the phenomenological movement within philosophy and within more than a score of other disciplines on a level accessible to professional colleagues of other orientations as well as to advanced undergraduate and graduate students.

Extended Versions of Papers Presented in the Symposium `Role of Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Sustainable Agriculture' at the 13th Congress of Soil Science, Kyoto, Japan, 1990

Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Structure Development in Processing for Polymer Property Enhancement, 17-28 May 1999, Caminha, Portugal

Plant adaptation is a fundamental process in plant breeding. Modern plant breeding, based on mendelian genetics, has made plant improvement more effective and more precise and selective. In these proceedings an effort is made to merge modern plant breeding efficiency with ecological aspects of plant breeding, reflected in adaptation.

Contains a selection of papers on the research in the field of computers in education. This book covers topics that range from human-computer interaction applied to education to teacher training in communication and information technologies. It is suitable for teachers, lecturers, researchers, and application designers on computers in education.

Provides a discussion of some relevant topics in game theory. This book contains several research topics and offers the basis for an advanced course in game theory. It also supplies some elementary versions of advanced topics of the field.

Deformable avatars are virtual humans that deform themselves during motion. The research requires models for capturing of geometrie and kinematic data, the synthesis of the realistic human shape and motion, the parametrisation and motion retargeting, and several appropriate deformation models.

However, they possess enough hyperbolicity to enable us to use shadowing ideas to give computer-assisted proofs that computed orbits of such systems can be shadowed by true orbits for long periods of time, that they possess periodic orbits of long periods and that it is really true that they are chaotic.

This reference book, completely written in English, is the only comprehensive exposition of the laws of the five countries regarding IVDM Devices available.

A quantitative measure of the accuracy of the rate coefficients and the excess energies is a desirable goal of this analysis. This means that the total rate coefficient is very good, but the rate coefficients and the excess energies for the individual branches are less accurate.

The standard view of Operations Research/Management Science (OR/MS) dichotomizes the field into deterministic and probabilistic (nondeterministic, stochastic) subfields.

This volume focuses on the social impact of the public sector on the performance of the private sector, especially in the long term. It presents a model of the formation of social ties by economic interaction and uses this to explore the relevance of social ties and their dynamics for economic performance.

Reviews of the training research literature show that, parallel to the growing attention to corporate training, research has also increased in the field, giving a better understanding of the subject and providing fundamental expertise on which trainers can build.

Helps the reader understand contemporary equity issues in educational testing and assessment and to examine these issues in the context of educational reform. The book explores the factors that contribute to the gaps in student achievement along racial and social class lines, and offers ideas for improving the measurement of America's students.

Design, implementation and operational issues related to instrumentation (Chapter Seven), management and decision making (Chapter Eight), and reporting and utilization of results (Chapter Nine) are next addressed.

Major institutions of higher education typically require applicants to supplement their records of academic achievement with scores on college admissions tests. In the labor market, as a condition of employment or assignment to training programs, more and more employers are requiring workers to sit for personnel selection tests.
