Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - After the success of the Acid Rain Program, pollution trading became a more acceptable policy in dealing with pollution problems. Trading of pollution credits and allowances helps to achieve environmental goals faster and more co- effectively. Although for the past 20 years water pollution trading had been in effect for as long as air pollution trading, many water quality trading programs - as compared to air pollution trading programs - lack success in the implementation of trading. The motivation factor for my work came from an interest in learning and understanding what the differences were that culminated in different levels of success being achieved between water pollution trading programs and air pollution trading programs. Moreover, another incentive was not only to understand what the role of trading should be for managing water quality, but also how to better improve the water quality trading programs in order to become successful. This book focuses on the examination of problems existing within a mark- based system for water pollution control policy in the United States, and provides essential information for introducing market-based instruments for water quality management, presents general situations where trading may or may not work, and offers a recommendation for those interested in developing new water trading programs as a suitable option for solving localized water pollution, for ne-tuning the system after implementation, and for overcoming trading obstacles. The book is divided into 5 chapters.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This monograph presents a variety of techniques that can be used for designing robust fault diagnosis schemes for non-linear systems. The introductory part of the book is of a tutorial value and can be perceived as a good starting point for the new-comers to this field. Subsequently, advanced robust observer structures are presented. Parameter estimation based techniques are discussed as well. A particular attention is drawn to experimental design for fault diagnosis. The book also presents a number of robust soft computing approaches utilizing evolutionary algorithms and neural networks. All approaches described in this book are illustrated by practical applications.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the automotive environment, the paradigm of the joint human machine system is called the 'Driver-Vehicle-Environment' (DVE) model. Several studies have pointed out the uniqueness of this domain, which can refer to minimum standardisation and normalisation of behaviours, contexts and technology.This book presents a general overview of various factors that contribute to modelling human behaviour in a DVE. In practice, it is rare that all of these aspects have to be considered in total by a designer or safety analyst. However, they all contribute to creating the overall picture of the DVE model, and show the scope and dimensions of the many different interaction process that may take place and demand modelling consideration. This long-awaited volume written by experts in the field presents state-of-the-art research and case studies. It will be invaluable reading for graduate students, researchers and professional practitioners alike.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The genesis of this project is a direct result of the fact that there is no substantive textbook that addresses the full-spectrum of surgical emergencies. Even in a eld in which there is a plethora of excellent textbooks on a variety of surgical topics (including trauma), there is no one reference book with a dedicated emphasis on both traumatic and nontraumatic conditions potentially necessitating surgical int- vention in the acute setting.This project became even more unique when its st- wise development paralleled the evolution of a new specialty-acute care surgery. This was far from a serendipitous link.On the contrary,my editorial colleagues and I, along with many of the contributors, have recently been part of a major effort to build the foundation for this new specialty.As with any proposed new specialty, there have been a few rough interfaces with some of the other surgical specialties regarding the scope of practice of the acute care surgeon. Fortunately, the key to this con ict resolution will revolve around what is best for the patient. However, irrespective of these dynamics,there is a worsening crisis in acute care in this nation.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Jeder Mensch kennt Stimmungsschwankungen wie Phasen der Traurigkeit, Niedergeschlagenheit, der Euphorie und fehlender Lebensfreude. Die Übergänge von der normalen Entwicklung zur behandlungsbedürftigen Störung sind fließend. Ein Handlungsbedarf entsteht, wenn die Stimmungsveränderungen länger anhalten und die Betroffenen oder Angehörigen sich in ihrem Erleben oder Funktionierem im Alltag beeinträchtigt fühlen. Die behutsame und stetige Auseinandersetzung mit der Erkrankung ist ein Prozess, der seine Zeit und vielleicht auch mehrere Krankheitsepisoden braucht. Dieses Buch für Betroffene soll keinesfalls das ärztliche Gespräch ersetzen, sondern zu einem besseren Basiswissen über Stimmungsschwankungen, über mögliche therapeutische Ansätze und Veränderung von Lebensgewohnheiten beitragen. Obwohl wir bis heute nicht wissen, was dieses Leiden letztendlich verursacht, sind Betroffene und deren Angehörige diesen Stimmungsschwankungen nicht länger ausgeliefert und können den weiteren Verlauf sehr gut mitgestalten.…
