Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This groundbreaking text provides you with up-to-date, authoritative information that will prove to be of critical importance for disability professionals in the coming years. It will leave you better informed about aspects of disability that have not been well covered in the literature--issues surrounding spirituality, civil rights, and the 'medical model vs. social (or minority) model' (of viewing disability) controversy. You'll examine the impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act in the wake of the Supreme Court's narrowing of the Act's powers and explore newly developed theories designed to more accurately define the true meaning of disability.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For engineering students and those about to take on their first job, the design project can be a harrowing and daunting prospect. This timely text, the culmination of the editors' years of experience teaching the capstone Engineering Design course, breaks down the design project into manageable pieces and takes the intimidation out of the process. It sets forth valuable guidelines and answers to the most pressing and often-repeated questions. The editors cover where to start, how to consider the impact of the project on society, project scheduling, management, and budgeting, guidelines for written and oral presentations, and how to protect intellectual property and possibly turn the project into a business.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the past half century, the social role of knowledge has changed profoundly. The natural attitude toward scientific knowledge in science that assigned a special status to sciences knowledge claims has lost its dominance, and the view that all knowledge is socially constructed has gained general acceptance. Science increasingly influences the political agenda in modern societies. Consequently, a new political field has emerged: knowledge politics. The fourteen essays by social scientists, philosophers, and historians cover fundamental issues, theoretical perspectives, knowledge and power, and empirical studies within this revised volume include six new contributions by Robert K. Merton, Steve Fuller, Dick Pels, Nico Stehr, Barry Schwart, and Michael Lynch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book introduces the theory, methods, and applications of correspondence analysis. With an emphasis on data coding, it clearly demonstrates why this technique remains important and in the eyes of many, unsurpassed as an analysis framework. Within this highly practical presentation, the author provides a theoretical overview and software in Java and R for correspondence analysis, clustering, and interpretation tools. A full chapter of case studies explores a range of applications to time-evolving data and in areas such as financial modeling, shape analysis, and the biosciences. The software and all of the data sets used in the book are available on a supporting web site.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The pharmaceutical industry suffers from an innovation deficit, with clinical attrition and safety-related market-withdrawal rates at the same level as twenty years ago. This book scrutinizes this problem in detail, contrasting the promise of technology and industrialization with the apparent inability of industry to fully realize the tools that are available. The text begins by introducing the evolution of modern drug discovery, tracing it from basic concepts to current approaches. The editor devotes the remainder of the discussion to the regulatory environment, industrialization, compound and knowledge management functions, the drug screening process, collaboration, and finally, ethical issues.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book features the latest research on the role of oxidants and dietary antioxidants in the modulation of gene expression, aging, immune function, neuroprotection, and vascular heath. It covers the relationship between oxidants, antioxidants, and gene expression, as well as new molecular techniques for the study of redox-regulated signal transduction. It summarizes the molecular mechanisms of phytochemicals and trace elements, emphasizes the impact of variations in the human genotype on individual responses to nutrients, and offers a summary of the effect of lipid and water soluble antioxidants and fatty acids on gene expression in cultured cells, laboratory animals, and humans.
