Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Geography is a subject which throughout its history has been dominated by men; men have undertaken the heroic explorations which form the mythology of its foundation, men have written most of its texts and, as many feminist geographers have remarked, men's interests have structured what counts as legitimate geographical knowledge. This book offers a sustained examination of the masculinism of contemporary geographical discourses.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is an elementary introduction to syntactic analysis. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject whatsoever, it is intended for students who are encountering such analysis for the first time. For those embarking on a longer term study of syntax, this will be a valuable and quickly assimilated foundation course. For students who will need to use syntax as a basic descriptive tool - such as trainee teachers, speech therapists or students of literacy style - the book provides a framework for their analysis and practice in its use.The book begins by looking at the use of generalizations in describing sentence structure and the basis for word categories. It then moves through increasingly more complex constructions giving students plenty of opportunity by way of practical exercises to understand the basis of each analysis before moving further. The aim of the book is not to explore complex issues of argumentation. Its emphasis is on practical 'hands on' analysis.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Deconstruction', 'psychoanalysis', and 'semiotics' have become part of the vocabulary of contempoorary culture. Reading Theory.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Helps you ensure that your simulations are appropriate representations of real-world systems. The book concentrates on the differentiation between the assessment of a simulation tool and the verification and validation of general software products. It is a systematic, procedural, practical guide that you can use to enhance the credibility of your simulation models. In addition, it is a valuable reference book and a road map for software developers and quality assurance experts, or as a text for simulation methodology and software engineering courses. This book details useful assessment procedures and phases, discusses ways to tailor the methodology for specific situations and objectives, and provides numerous assessment aids. The reader can use these aids to support ongoing assessments over the entire life cycle of the model.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A straightforward description providing readers with a guide to contract law as it relates to construction contracting. Thoroughly explains when a lawyer may or may not be needed and offers guidance for working with one. Prior notice provisions, no damage for delay clauses and conditional payment provisions are among the topics covered. Includes hundreds of actual construction cases.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This definitive source provides practicing professionals and students in the occupational, environmental, and public health and safety fields with the functional basics of biological monitoring. The author examines how environmental exposures to particular chemicals are related to concentrations of markers in body tissues and fluids. Biological Monitoring integrates the applied sciences of industrial/environmental hygiene, epidemiology, public health, occupational medicine, toxicology, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry with the basic sciences to interpret the connections between exposures and lifestyle/environmental influences, and their effects on humans. This comprehensive introduction provides dependable, detailed coverage of: \* monitoring for harmful substances in the workplace \* the benefits and limitations of testing for critical levels of toxic materials in bodily tissues and fluids \* state-of-the-art developments in biological monitoring \* a wide variety of toxic chemicals and selected physical agents \* immunoassays \* monitoring for HIV and AIDS \* importance of exposure routes \* the most up-to-date methods of health and medical surveillance \* the interpretation of adduct concentrations \* biological exposure indices \* biological monitoring of pesticides \* biological monitoring in the home and around hazardous waste sites \* and much more This essential, compelling guide is the only inclusive and thorough introduction available. Biological Monitoring's rigorous, accessible, interdisciplinary approach makes this an invaluable reference and text for industrial and environmental hygienists, physicians, pharmacists, nurses, epidemiologists, toxicologists, laboratory technicians, chemical engineers, science graduate students, and the environmentally concerned.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Drawing from the vast literature available on free radicals, this book presents a helpful selection of fundamentally useful material. An Introduction to Free Radicals presents coverage of basic concepts, electron spin resonance, an overview of diradicals and triplet states, radical pairs, CIDNP and CIDEP, the small radicals, radical sources, selected alkyl radicals, conjugated carbon radicals, synthetic applications, electron transfer and related concepts. An Introduction to Free Radicals will supply important information about free radicals and provide a firm foundation for more specialized study for organic chemists, physical chemists, biochemists, polymer chemists, synthetic chemists, and photochemists. Polymer chemists and pharmaceutical chemists will find a wealth of synthetic applications within this book. Environmental engineers will find the chapters on the small radicals and electron transfer and related concepts extremely useful. That's because radical reactions are important in the degradation of both natural and man-made products. Numerous tables, diagrams, and selected references to the literature make this book an essential learning and reference tool.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Neural Networks for Optimization and Signal Processing A. Cichocki Warsaw University of Technology Poland R. Unbehauen Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg Germany Artificial neural networks can be employed to solve a wide spectrum of problems in optimization, parallel computing, matrix algebra and signal processing. Taking a computational approach, this book explains how ANNs provide solutions in real time, and allow the visualization and development of new techniques and architectures. Features include: \* A guide to the fundamental mathematics of neurocomputing. \* A review of neural network models and an analysis of their associated algorithms. \* State-of-the-art procedures to solve optimization problems. \* Computer simulation programs MATLAB, TUTSIM and SPICE illustrate the validity and performance of the algorithms and architectures described. The authors encourage the reader to be creative in visualizing new approaches and detail how other specialized computer programs can evaluate performance. \* Each chapter concludes with a short bibliography. \* Illustrative worked examples, questions and problems assist self study. The authors' self-contained approach will appeal to a wide range of readers, including professional engineers working in computing, optimization, operational research, systems identification and control theory. Undergraduate and postgraduate students in computer science, electrical and electronic engineering will also find this text invaluable. In particular, the text will be ideal to supplement courses in circuit analysis and design, adaptive systems, control systems, signal processing and parallel computing. B.G. Teubner Stuttgart.
