Defects in semiconductors have been studied for many years, in
many cases with a view toward controlling their behaviour through
various forms of "defect engineering." For example, in the bulk,
charging significantly affects the total concentration of defects
that are available to mediate phenomena such as solid-state
diffusion. Surface defects play an important role in mediating
surface mass transport during high temperature processing steps
such as epitaxial film deposition, diffusional smoothing in reflow,
and nanostructure formation in memory device fabrication. "Charged
Defects in Semiconductors" details the current state of knowledge
regarding the properties of the ionized defects that can affect the
behaviour of advanced transistors, photo-active devices, catalysts,
and sensors. Features: group IV, III-V, and oxide semiconductors;
intrinsic and extrinsic defects; and, point defects, as well as
defect pairs, complexes and clusters.
This volume of papers grew outof a research project on
"Cross-Linguistic Quantification" originated by Emmon Bach,
Angelika Kratzer and Barbara Partee in 1987 at the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst, and supported by National Science
Foundation Grant BNS 871999. The publication also reflects directly
or indirectly several other related activ ities. Bach, Kratzer, and
Partee organized a two-evening symposium on cross-linguistic
quantification at the 1988 Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Society
of America in New Orleans (held without financial support) in order
to bring the project to the attention of the linguistic community
and solicit ideas and feedback from colleagues who might share our
concern for developing a broader typological basis for research in
semantics and a better integration of descriptive and theoretical
work in the area of quantification in particular. The same trio
organized a six-week workshop and open lecture series and related
one-day confer ence on the same topic at the 1989 LSA Linguistic
Institute at the University of Arizona in Tucson, supported by a
supplementary grant, NSF grant BNS-8811250, and Partee offered a
seminar on the same topic as part of the Institute course
offerings. Eloise Jelinek, who served as a consultant on the
principal grant and was a participant in the LSA symposium and the
Arizona workshops, joined the group of editors for this volume in
1989."
This book critically examines different forms of urban-rural links
for sustainable development in different countries. As intertwined
processes of globalization, digitalization, environmental
challenges and the search for sustainable development continue,
rural and urban areas around the world become increasingly
interconnected and interdependent. This book contributes to
understanding the role of this growing interconnectedness from an
economic geographical perspective. It does so by theoretically and
empirically addressing the various existing linkages, such as food
networks, value chains, and regional governance at local, regional,
national and international levels. In doing so, contributions
extend and contrast existing approaches dealing with urban and
rural areas separately by considering the interplay between these
two as well as their consequences for sustainability transition
pathways. This edited volume adds to the academic and policy debate
by bringing together a variety of concepts and themes in order to
shift the research and policy agenda away from simple dichotomy to
different notions of rural-urban linkages. Offering
multidisciplinary insights into rural-urban linkages, the book will
be of interest to decision-makers, practitioners and researchers in
the fields of economic geography, regional planning, food studies
and economics.

This book contains updated and substantially revised versions of
Angelika Kratzer's classic papers on modals and conditionals,
including 'What "must" and "can" must and can mean', 'Partition and
Revision', 'The Notional Category of Modality', 'Conditionals', 'An
Investigation of the Lumps of Thought', and 'Facts: Particulars or
Information Units?'. The book's contents add up to some of the most
important work on modals and conditionals in particular and on the
semantics-syntax interface more generally. It will be of central
interest to linguists and philosophers of language of all
theoretical persuasions.
September 11, 2001, represents not only the most tragic event of
modern times on American soil but also the event that garnered the
most intense and pervasive media coverage of our time. The need for
information is the instinctive human reaction to crisis. After
September 11th, this need was especially great. In the aftermath of
this tragic event, journalism and mass communication scholars
around the country used a variety of research methods and theories
to investigate the news media's performance and the audience's
response. In Media in an American Crisis, these studies have been
edited into one collection that informs us about the communication
process during a national crisis. The content is rich in its
variety of perspectives and topics.
This edited collection focuses on varying communication
perspectives in the Fifty Shades of Grey series. In particular, the
chapters focus on kinky people's perceptions of the series;
consent, ownership, feminist desire in 24/7 BDSM; erotic romance
writing in the post Fifty Shades of Grey landscape; sexual
education; news coverage of the series; the rhetoric used in the
series; and depictions of consent. The contributors address how a
series as dominant in popular culture as Fifty Shades of Grey can
affect people involved in a community, those on the outside, and
those waiting for an opportunity to explore. Scholars of popular
culture, communication, media studies, literary studies, and
sociology will find this book particularly useful.

The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) is the central
executive authority on migration and integration policy in Germany.
Vinzenz Kratzer analyses the Federal Office's research output
between 2005 and 2015 with a joint perspective of Ethnography and
Political Science. In the wake of political reforms after the
"paradigm change" around the turn of the millennium, the
development of practically relevant knowledge can be traced. While
governmental researchers were able to establish themselves in the
bureaucracy with some success, they bought this influence with
uncontroversial, depoliticized knowledge production, while the
production of seemingly politically irrelevant knowledge - most
importantly on racism and discrimination - is underdeveloped.
This book contains updated and substantially revised versions of
Angelika Kratzer's classic papers on modals and conditionals,

Revision', 'The Notional Category of Modality', 'Conditionals', 'An

Dieses Buch steckt voll kluger Gedanken und konkreter
Praxiserfahrung erfolgreicher Fuhrungskrafte und Top-Manager. Sie
lassen den Leser teilhaben an ihren Gedanken und UEberzeugungen zu
einer Vielzahl von Fuhrungsthemen: von Personal einstellen bis
entscheiden, von Strategie-Entwicklung bis Kommunikation, von
Verantwortung tragen, Gemeinschaft starken, neuen
Organisationsformen u.v.m. Ein Glossar bietet ein pragnantes Update
zu den neuesten Management- und Fuhrungsinstrumenten. Impulsfragen
am Ende eines jeden Kapitels foerdern die Umsetzung und bereiten
auf die anstehenden Veranderungen vor. Dieses Buch ist damit ein
Reisefuhrer in die nahe Zukunft der Fuhrung in neuen
Organisationsformen. Fuhrungskrafte werden anders arbeiten, anders
fuhren und vor allem anders denken als bisher. Traditionelle
Fuhrungsmodelle funktionieren mehr schlecht als recht, bisherige
Erfolgsrezepte wirken nicht mehr, egal wie viel wir daran
herumschrauben. Das trifft viele Fuhrungskrafte unmittelbar und
haufig voellig unvermittelt. Wie erleben Fuhrungskrafte den Wandel
der Denk- und Handlungsmuster sowie der Organisationsformen? Wie
reagieren sie auf die Forderung nach mehr Demokratie,
Selbstorganisation und Agilitat, die sich aus den Folgen der
Digitalisierung, der Internationalisierung und den Anspruchen der
neuen Generationen im Arbeitsleben ergeben? Das haben die Autoren
Fuhrungskrafte aus verschiedenen Branchen, Organisationsformen und
Unternehmenstraditionen gefragt. Ergebnis ist eine Bestandsaufnahme
der Fuhrungsaufgaben fur die Zukunft, die sich an der gelebten
Praxis orientiert.
