Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Law is traditionally conceived as consisting of norms of conduct and power-conferring norms. This conception, however, is unable to account for a variety of elements of modern legal systems that differ significantly from the classical notions. This book concerns the problem of which results of human activity can obtain legal validity. The author makes use of recent findings in speech act theory, especially John R. Searle and Daniel Vanderveken's illocutionary logic. He sets out a theory of legal norms conceived as institutional legal facts resulting from performances of speech acts specified in power-conferring norms. The theory provides a classification of acts-in-the-law and of legal norms resulting from performances of these. Finally, the transition is made from institutional legal facts to legal institutions. The book is a contribution to the institutional theory of law as developed by N. MacCormick and O. Weinberger.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important pulse crop in Latin America, as well as in large parts of Asia and Africa. It is particularly important due to its ability, in symbiosis with Rhizobium bacteria, to fix atmospheric nitrogen and due to its high nutrient value.Incorporating contributions from plant breeders, microbiologists, plant physiologists and soil scientists, this volume reports the results of an FAO/IAEA Coordinated Research Programme (1985--1991), whose main objective was to enhance yield and biological nitrogen fixation in common bean by reducing its reliance on soil and fertilizer nitrogen.The volume will be invaluable to scientists working on biological nitrogen fixation and legume production.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Nature is totally amoral! There are at least 3-4 million people in France alone who suffer from arterial hypertension, and whose cardiovascular system is submitted day and night to both a haemodynamic and hormonal stress. In all cases, the vasculature hypertrophies as does the myocardium. This growth process is obviously mainly detrimental at the outset since it lowers compliance of the arteries and makes them stiffer. In contrast, myocardial hypertrophy is initially beneficial since the growth process multiplies the number of contractile units and by so doing improves external work. In addition, according to Starling's law, wall stress is lowered. Growth factors playa major role in this amoral process as a trigger for hypertrophy at the vascular level, and very likely at the level of the myocardium. Another major point of interest is the role of growth factors as determinants of restenosis after angioplasty and also of atherogenesis. Several chapters in this book are directly or indirectly concerned with this problem which is far from being purely academic since several groups are currently trying to control these processes by gene transfer. Certainly, one of the major clinical questions arising from such studies is why restenosis is not more frequent in clinical practice. After de-endotheliazation, the biologist would predict on the basis of recent studies on growth factors, and in contrast with current clinical opinion, that hypertrophy would occur in all cases with more or less complete restenosis.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Das Buch gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über die Hardware- und Software-Konzepte, auf denen moderne Rechnersysteme beruhen, von den Arbeitsplatzrechnern bis zu den Supercomputern und den zukünftigen massiv-parallelen Rechnern. Im Anschluß an die Betrachtung der Architektur sequentieller Rechner, ihrer Prozessoren und ihrer Speicherhierarchien werden die Grundlagen für die Parallelarbeit dargelegt. Zunächst werden die Prinzipien der Parallelarbeit im Prozessor behandelt, was zu den VLIW-Maschinen und den superskalaren Prozessoren führt, und die damit verbundenen Compilerprobleme erörtert. Ein Kapitel ist den SIMD-Architekturen in Form der Vektormaschinen oder der Anordnungen gleichartiger Rechnerelemente gewidmet. Ein eigenes Kapitel stellt ausführlich und mit Beispielen die Prinzipien der Datenstruktur-Architekturen und der Sprach-Architekturen dar. Datenstruktur-Architekturen sind dahingehend optimiert, datenparallele Anwendungen mit komplexen Datenstrukturtypen möglichst effizient zu bearbeiten. Sprach-Architekturen dienen der Unterstützung von Sprachen wie Lisp und Prolog. Datenflußarchitekturen werden in einem eigenen Kapitel ausführlich behandelt. Die letzten drei Kapitel sind den Parallelrechnern gewidmet: Aus den Programmiermodellen für massiv-parallele Architekturen werden die verschiedenen Architekturformen abgeleitet. Die Eigenschaften der einzelnen Architekturformen, die zentrale Frage der Kommunikationslatenz und die spezifischen Softwarefragen werden gründlich behandelt. Das Buch zeichnet sich durch eine sehr systematische Darstellung aus sowie auch dadurch, daß nicht nur auf die Hardware-Architekturen eingegangen wird, sondern ebenso sehr auf die relevanten Fragen der Systemsoftware und Programmierung.…
