Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Isoperimetric, measure concentration and random process techniques appear at the basis of the modern understanding of Probability in Banach spaces. Based on these tools, the book presents a complete treatment of the main aspects of Probability in Banach spaces (integrability and limit theorems for vector valued random variables, boundedness and continuity of random processes) and of some of their links to Geometry of Banach spaces (via the type and cotype properties). Its purpose is to present some of the main aspects of this theory, from the foundations to the most important achievements. The main features of the investigation are the systematic use of isoperimetry and concentration of measure and abstract random process techniques (entropy and majorizing measures). Examples of these probabilistic tools and ideas to classical Banach space theory are further developed.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 500 pp. Englisch.

From the reviews:This book gives an excellent, almost complete account of the whole subject of probability in Banach spaces, a branch of probability theory that has undergone vigorous development. There is no doubt in the reviewer's mind that this book [has] become a classic. MathSciNetAs the authors state, 'this book tries to present some of the main aspects of the theory of probability in Banach spaces, from the foundation of the topic to the latest developments and current research questions''. The authors have succeeded admirably This very comprehensive book develops a wide variety of the methods existing in probability in Banach spaces. It [has] become an event for mathematicians Zentralblatt MATH.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hybrid PET/CT and SPECT/CT Imaging: A Teaching File presents a complete book on state-of-the-art integrated PET/CT and SPECT/CT imaging systems. Edited by Drs. Dominique Delbeke and Ora Israel, this practical guide includes in-depth cases that will advance the skills of nuclear physicians and radiologists while also preparing residents for the field of nuclear medicine and radiology. Internationally-recognized contributors provide the reader with chapters covering the technical and clinical aspects of hybrid imaging, including basic principles, physics and instrumentation, the normal distribution of radiopharmaceuticals, and protocols critical to the field. A comprehensive review of nuclear oncology cases found in everyday practice are addressed, including among other clinical applications head and neck tumors, breast cancer, lung neoplasms, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and genitourinary tumors. Additional chapters examine the use of these modalities in pediatric patients, benign bone diseases and infection, and cardiac hybrid imaging. A wealth of illustrations reinforces the key teaching points discussed throughout the book.A beneficial feature is the accompanying CD-ROM containing DICOM images from selected cases showing views in all planes, including the fusion images, which simulates an actual workstation used in a clinical scenario. The CD-ROM has been provided by Hermes Medical Solutions, Inc.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Recent critiques of air quality management approaches currently employed in developed and many developing countries have suggested that efficiencies could be achieved if air quality management practices shifted from pollutant-by-pollutant approaches to a comprehensive multipollutant approach in which emission reduction decisions are based on relative risk and evaluated on their effectiveness in meeting environmental and health goals. This bookassesses our technical readiness to undertake such an approach, and it outlines the technical developments that will be needed to achieve a risk-based approach air quality management that includes means for measuring the effectiveness of management decisions.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'In the preface to this impressive and well-produced book, the editors state that their aim is not to describe a new surgical specialty, since most surgeons will soon need to be 'geriatric surgeons,' but to assemble a comprehensive account that will allow 'all providers of healthcare to the elderly to understand the issues involved in choosing surgery as a treatment option for their patients.'This is a useful book that deserves to do well. I hope that the editors and their publisher will have the stamina to make this the first of several editions, as it is clear that updated information about surgery in the elderly will be required to keep pace with this important field.'

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Identity is one of the most extensively studied constructs in the social sciences. Yet, despite the wealth of findings across many disciplines, identity researchers remain divided over such enduring fundamental questions as: What exactly is identity, and how do identity processes function Do people have a single identity or multiple identities Is identity individually or collectively oriented Personally or socially constructed Stable or constantly in flux The Handbook of Identity Theory and Research offers the rare opportunity to address the questions and reconcile these seeming contradictions, bringing unity and clarity to a diverse and fragmented literature.This exhaustive reference work emphasizes the depth and complexity of identity processes and domains and presents perspectives from many different theoretical schools and empirical approaches. Contributing authors provide perspectives from psychology (e.g., narrative, social identity theory, neo-Eriksonian) and from other disciplines (e.g., sociology, political science, ethnic studies); and the editors highlight the links between chapters that provide complementary insights on related subjects.In addition to covering identity processes and categories that are well-known to the field, the Handbook tackles many emerging issues, including:- Identity development among adopted persons.- Identity processes in interpersonal relationships.- Effects of globalization on cultural identity.- Transgender experience and identity.- Consumer identity and shopping behavior.- Social identity processes in xenophobia and genocide.The Handbook of Identity Theory and Research lends itself to a wealth of uses by scholars, clinicians, and graduate students across many disciplines, including social, developmental, and child/school psychology; human development and family studies; sociology; cultural anthropology; gender, ethnic, and communication studies; education; and counseling.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - La mondialisation, l ère de l information et l essor de l économie du savoir transforment profondément les modalités d acquisition, de diffusion et de transformation du savoir. Il s ensuit que la production du savoir a graduellement davantage à voir avec la compétitivité économique et y est plus directement liée. Ce nouvel état de fait signifie également que les universités se sentent de plus en plus poussées à s adapter aux besoins de la société et de l économie, qui évoluent sans cesse. En particulier, des pressions croissantes s exercent sur les établissements d enseignement supérieur et de recherche des pays industrialisés pour qu ils définissent et affirment leur nouveau rôle au sein du système national d innovation. Les établissements des pays en développement, quant à eux, sont appelés à définir le rôle qu ils joueront afin de soutenir les structures émergentes du système d innovation. Ce livre examine le rôle des universités et des instituts de recherche nationaux dans le développement économique et social. En réunissant des textes rendant compte d initiatives et d innovations dans diverses régions du monde, notamment en Chine, en Europe de l Est, en Amérique latine, en Scandinavie, en Asie du Sud-Est, en Afrique subsaharienne et en Europe de l Ouest, l ouvrage brosse un tableau qui est d actualité et qui intéressera tant les responsables des politiques et les administrateurs d universités que les leaders économiques et sociaux et les chercheurs. Bo Göransson et Claes Brundenius sont tous deux affiliés au Research Policy Institute de l Université de Lund, en Suède. M. Göransson est professeur agrégé et coordonnateur du programme LEAP4D, et M. Brundenius est professeur honoraire.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ob es um das Überbringen einer Todesnachricht an Angehörige, psychiatrische Notfälle oder Großschadensereignissen mit Schwerverletzten und Toten geht - die Helfergruppen vor Ort stehen schwierigen Anforderungen gegenüber. Die Notfallpsychologie beschäftigt sich sowohl mit den Belastungen und Folgen für Notfallopfer, als auch mit den Belastungen und Interventionsmöglichkeiten bei Helfergruppen. So umfassend wurde das Fachgebiet selten dargestellt: eine Vielzahl von Situationen und Personenkreisen (u.a. plötzlicher Kindstod, Notfälle bei Kindern und Jugendlichen, Verbrechensopfer, Drogennotfälle) werden ebenso aufgeführt wie die Notfall-Organisationspsychologie, die bei Großschadensereignissen und Katastrophen wichtig wird. Wie werden dort Entscheidungen gefällt, wer ist zuständig - wichtige Fragen, über die es sich im Vorfeld Gedanken zu machen gilt. Mit Checklisten und Verhaltensanleitungen für verschiedene Helfergruppen (u.a. Richtlinien für Psychische Erste Hilfe). Geschrieben für: Psychologen, Klinische Psychologen, Notfallpsychologen, Notfallseelsorger, andere Berufsgruppen in der Notfallpsychologie und Krisenintervention.
