<p>This textbook provides a didactic introduction to the topic of group theory in physics, with a special focus on solid state physics issues. The book is useful for students who encounter such problems in their first scientific work (in theory or experiment). In addition to the basic introduction to group theory and representation theory, the book deals with point groups, double point groups, and space groups, which are essential in solid state physics. As an example for systems with space group symmetry, electrons in periodic potentials are discussed.<p> <p>Furthermore, there are chapters on material tensors and the Wigner Eckart theorem for the evaluation of matrix elements. The latter is especially interesting for students dealing with spectroscopic problems. The content is accompanied by a series of exercises and examples. A set of solutions can be found in the appendix.<p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
<p><strong>A study of urban nature that draws together different strands of urban ecology as well as insights derived from feminist, posthuman, and postcolonial thought.<strong><p> <p>Postindustrial transitions and changing cultures of nature have produced an unprecedented degree of fascination with urban biodiversity. The “other nature” that flourishes in marginal urban spaces, at one remove from the controlled contours of metropolitan nature, is not the poor relation of rural flora and fauna. Indeed, these islands of biodiversity underline the porosity of the distinction between urban and rural.<br > In <em>Natura Urbana<em>, Matthew Gandy explores urban nature as a multilayered material and symbolic entity, through the lens of urban ecology and the parallel study of diverse cultures of nature at a global scale.<p> <p>Gandy examines the articulation of alternative, and in some cases, counterhegemonic, sources of knowledge about urban nature produced by artists, writers, scientists, as well as curious citizens, including voices seldom heard in environmental discourse. The book is driven by Gandy’s fascination with spontaneous forms of urban nature ranging from postindustrial wastelands brimming with life to the return of such predators as wolves and leopards on the urban fringe. Gandy develops a critical synthesis between different strands of urban ecology and considers whether "urban political ecology," broadly defined, might be imaginatively extended to take fuller account of both the historiography of the ecological sciences,and recent insights derived from feminist, posthuman, and postcolonial thought.<p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

<p>This book provides a comprehensive overview of computational intelligence methods for semantic knowledge management. Contrary to popular belief, the methods for semantic management of information were created several decades ago, long before the birth of the Internet. In fact, it was back in 1945 when Vannevar Bush introduced the idea for the first protohypertext: the MEMEX (MEMory + indEX) machine. In the years that followed, Bush’s idea influenced the development of early hypertext systems until, in the 1980s, Tim Berners Lee developed the idea of the World Wide Web (WWW) as it is known today. From then on, there was an exponential growth in research and industrial activities related to the semantic management of the information and its exploitation in different application domains, such as healthcare, e-learning and energy management.<p> <p>However, semantics methods are not yet able to address some of the problems that naturally characterize knowledge management, such as the vagueness and uncertainty of information. This book reveals how computational intelligence methodologies, due to their natural inclination to deal with imprecision and partial truth, are opening new positive scenarios for designing innovative semantic knowledge management architectures.<p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

<p>On July 30, 1965, President Johnson flew to Independence, Missouri to sign the Medicare bill. The new statute included two related insurance programs to finance substantial portions of the hospital and physician expenses incurred by Americans over the age of sixty-five. Public attempts to improve American health standards have typically precipitated bitter debate, even as the issue has shifted from the professional and legal status of physicians to the availability of hospital care and public health programs. In The Politics of Medicare, Marmor helps the reader understand Medicare's origins, and he interprets the history of the program and explores what happened to Medicare politically as it turned from a legislative act in the mid-1960s to a major program of American government in the three decades since. This is a vibrant study of an important piece of legislation that asks and answers several questions: How could the American political system yield a policy that simultaneously appeased anti-governmental biases and used the federal government to provide a major entitlement? How was the American Medical Association legally overcome yet placated enough to participate in the program? And how did the Medicare law emerge so enlarged from earlier proposals that themselves had caused so much controversy?<p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
<p>W?hrend nur zu viele B?cher erscheinen, die das nicht wirklich bieten, was der Titel erwarten l?sst, haben wir es hier mit einem Werke zu tun, welches unendlich viel mehr gibt, als sein Name verspricht. Wird auch aus der "Geschichte des Eisens " keine allgemeine Kulturgeschichte, so veranlasst doch die Bedeutung und vielseitige Verwendung dieses Metalls den Verfasser zu einer Darstellung, die alle Teile der materiellen Kultur umfasst oder wenigstens ber?hrt. Der allgemeine Wert des Gesamtwerkes ist vielleicht noch viel mehr ein historischer als ein technischer. Der Verfasser ist zwar von Hause aus Techniker und weist in seiner Einleitung mit Bescheidenheit darauf hin, dass man von ihm nicht das erwarten d?rfe, was der Geschichtsforscher leiste, er zeigt aber bald darauf durch eine treffliche Bemerkung, dass ihm zum Historiker nichts fehlt, als vielleicht die akademische Qualifikation, und dass viele M?nner vom Fach von ihm noch lernen k?nnen. Einen bedeutungsvollen Satz, den Beck durch das ganze Werk hindurch mit seltener Belesenheit, gro?em Flei? und geschickter Kombinationsgabe befolgt und durchf?hrt, kann man hier w?rtlich anf?hren: "Es will uns vielmehr bed?nken, als ob bei unserer Geschichtsschreibung dem biographischen Element gemeiniglich eine zu gro?e Bedeutung einger?umt w?rde, w?hrend die mechanischen Bedingungen der menschlichen Entwicklung, unter denen die Fortschritte der Technik, vor allem die der Eisentechnik eine hervorragende Rolle einnehmen, zu wenig Ber?cksichtigung f?nden. " Dieser Gedanke wird sich ja wohl bei der wachsenden kulturgeschichtlichen Forschung immer mehr Bahnbrechen, und Beck hat jedenfalls das Verdienst, in seiner Geschichte des Eisens gezeigt zu haben, wie dankbar und erfolgreich das Betreten dieses Weges ist, wenn sich mit sachlicher, hier technischer, Kenntnis historischer Sinn und flei?iges Quellenstudium vereinigen. Die Schwierigkeiten, die sich einer solchen ersten Arbeit, denn eine Geschichte des Eisens hat es bis jetzt nicht gegeben, entgegenstellen, hat Beck in ?berraschender Weise ?berwunden. Die zerstreuten Quellen historischen, philologischen, arch?ologischen, auch poetischen Charakters, sind mit staunenswertem Flei? gesammelt und gut verwertet. Dies ist Band sieben von zehn und behandelt das 19. Jahrhundert bis 1860 (Teil 1).

<p>The standard policy prescription to enhance the productivity of agriculture in a developing country like Vietnam is first to encourage the investment of farmers in their human and social capital and then to change the governmental institutions to facilitate the farmers investment. This book, therefore, analyzes the investment of farmers in their health, education, and social relationships in the context of Vietnams recent agrarian transition. Using the tools of regression analysis, the author has tried to measure the rate of return of investment in health, education, and social relationship of farmers on their income. Additionally, to measure the effect of local government policy on the performance of agricultural firms at the provincial level, the book applies current techniques to estimate the relationship between output of agricultural firms and performance of local government. As in other low-developed countries, the rate of return of investment in education is quite extreme and the rate of investment in health is small. The effect of investment in social capital of farmers on their income is quite complex due to the complication of the term social capital. Moreover, the effect of quality of local institutions on performance of agricultural firms at the provincial level is not quite statistically significant. The relationship is similar with other research findings worldwide when researchers want to measure the effect of quality of institution on the performance of firms.<p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。

<p>How can you make necessary professional judgments without being judgmental?Assessment and diagnostic skills are essential professional tools for the social worker, but all too often they are neglected or downplayed. Diagnosis in Social Work argues for the reinstatement of social diagnosis to its former place as an essential concept in social work. This courageous book demonstrates the detrimental impact of the loss of diagnostic skills on the quality of social work intervention.Combining meticulous history with insightful analysis, Diagnosis in Social Work shows how the concept of diagnosis in social work has been misunderstood. It examines the negative, narrow definition of diagnosis offered in commonly used texts.

<p>INTRODUCCI?N<p> <p>Luego de casi dos d?cadas dedicadas a la docencia y de ver pasar por nuestras manos generaciones de residentes, observar sus diferencias, habilidades, destrezas, gustos y dudas, hemos confirmado siempre que lo importante es dejar conceptos pr?cticos que puedan ser aplicados a diario. Especialmente porque un buen neuropediatra debe tener la habilidad de solicitar e interpretar adecuadamente un electroencefalograma, pero primordialmente es fundamental que pueda hacer una integraci?n de la cl?nica con los estudios neurofisiol?gicos y, en particular, de los electroencefalogramas. Esto nos motiv? a realizar el presente texto de electroencefalograf?a y darle un car?cter pr?ctico.<p> <p>De esta manera, realizaremos un paseo desde los conceptos celulares neurofisiol?gicos y anat?micos b?sicos de la electroencefalograf?a hasta llegar a las indicaciones, t?cnica e interpretaci?n de estudios electroencefalogr?ficos y videoelectroencefalogr?ficos, pasando por conceptos f?sicos y t?cnicos fundamentales en la adecuada interpretaci?n y uso de estos recursos.

<p>What can we learn from the tragedy of these exploited young people?In Thailand, a thriving sex industry makes its money exploiting the young. Some children are coerced into prostitution and some have been sold into sexual slavery by their own families, but just as tragically there is no shortage of young girls (and boys) willing to work as prostitutes. Child Prostitution in Thailand: Listening to Rahab searches for the reasons why. This uniquely insightful book looks into the lives--and even more importantly, listens to the words--of ten Thai prostitutes. Child Prostitution in Thailand is about what we can learn from them--who they are, what they go through, and why.In their own words, the young prostitutes you'll meet in this book Thailand discuss what brought them into this life. Some have come from a tragic home situation, but not all are impoverished, orphaned, or abused. Nevertheless, they have entered into a dangerous and degrading lifestyle that often leads to violence, sickness, and early death. Of these ten prostitutes, one has already passed away and four more are dying with AIDS.This remarkable volume will help you to understand:<p> <ul> <li>how Thailand's child prostitution industry developed<li> <li>the impact upon girls and young women of Thailand's evolution from an agriculturally based economy to an industrial one<li> <li>changing forms of child prostitution<li> <li>who the customers are<li> <li>the role of tourism and its impact on child prostitution in Thailand<li> <li>how poverty, poor education, a sexually focused mass media, lack of religious emphasis, disability, and the lack of a clear policy on child prostitution help the sex industry to thrive<li> <ul> <p>This book also explores the details of child prostitution in Thailand--for instance, in open-air “restaurants” and “pubs” in Chiang Mai, your young waitress may double as a sex worker--and her provocative “uniform” represents a dress code enforced by the establishment’s owner. A “caf?” is another kind of sex service disguised as (and functioning as) a barrestaurant. Here, young girls working ten- and eleven-hour shifts in short skirts must wear price tags pinned to their shirts and may have to service five to ten clients per night.The head of the U.S. State Department's office for international women’s issues estimates that traffickers bring 50,000 women and children into the United States illegally each year. The lessons Listening to Rahab teaches can help us to better understand the situation here at home as well as overseas.

<p>In 1958, Charles David Keeling began measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii. His project kicked off a half century of research that has expanded our knowledge of climate change. Despite more than fifty years of research, however, our global society has yet to find real solutions to the problem of global warming. Why?<p> <p>In <em>Behind the Curve<em>, Joshua Howe attempts to answer this question. He explores the history of global warming from its roots as a scientific curiosity to its place at the center of international environmental politics. The book follows the story of rising CO2ーillustrated by the now famous Keeling Curveーthrough a number of historical contexts, highlighting the relationships among scientists, environmentalists, and politicians as those relationships changed over time.<p> <p>The nature of the problem itself, Howe explains, has privileged scientists as the primary spokespeople for the global climate. But while the “science first” forms of advocacy they developed to fight global warming produced more and better science, the primacy of science in global warming politics has failed to produce meaningful results. In fact, an often exclusive focus on science has left advocates for change vulnerable to political opposition and has limited much of the discussion to debates about the science itself.<p> <p>As a result, while we know much more about global warming than we did fifty years ago, CO2 continues to rise. In 1958, Keeling first measured CO2 at around 315 parts per million; by 2013, global CO2 had soared to 400 ppm. The problem is not getting better - it's getting worse. <em>Behind the Curve<em> offers a critical and levelheaded look at how we got here.<p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
