Under the SOTUS system, where freshmen undergo hazing from their seniors, Arthit continues his harsh instruction as the head hazer of the Engineering Department. But Kongpob is starting to figure out that it's all just Arthit's awkward way of showing kindness, and he's charmed by it. Meanwhile, the hazers’ final task, "The Scramble for the Flag," is soon approaching…

Whether seeking deeper knowledge of LabVIEW(R)'s capabilities or striving to build enhanced VIs, professionals know they will find everything they need in LabVIEW: Advanced Programming Techniques. Updated to reflect the functionalities and changes made to LabVIEW Version 8.0, this second edition delves deeply into the enhancements that continue to make LabVIEW one of the most popular and widely used graphical programming environments across the engineering community.

LabVIEW's new features are by no means trivial and neither are the updates made to the new edition of this popular bestseller. The authors introduce the changes to the front panel controls, the Standard State Machine template, new drivers, the instrument I/O assistant, new error handling functions, hyperthreading, and Express VIs. A new chapter mirrors the introduction of the Shared Variables function in LabVIEW 8.0 and a new section explores the LabVIEW project view. The chapter on ActiveX was revised to include discussion of the Microsoft(TM) .NET(R) framework and new examples of programming in LabVIEW using .NET. Numerous illustrations and step-by-step explanations provide hands-on guidance.

Reflecting not only changes to LabVIEW but also to the programming environment in general, LabVIEW: Advanced Programming Techniques, Second Edition remains an indispensable resource to help programmers take their LabVIEW knowledge to the next level.

The present book contains a comparison of existing theoretical models developed in order to describe membrane separation processes. In general, the permeation equations resulting from these models give inaccurate predictions of the mutual effects of the permeants involved, due to the simplifications adopted in their derivation. It is concluded that an optimum description of transport phenomena in tight (diffusion-type) membranes is achieved with the "solution-diffusion" model. According to this model each component of a fluid mixture to be separated dissolves in the membrane and passes through by diffusion in response to its gradient in the chemical potential. A modified Flory-Huggins equation has been derived to calculate the solubility of the permeants in the membrane material. Contrary to the original Flory-Huggins equation, the modified equation accounts for the large effect on solubility of crystallinity and elastic strain of the polymer chains by swelling. The equilibrium sorption of liquids computed with this equation was found to be in good agreement with experimental results. Also, the sorption of gases in both rubbery and glassy polymers could be described quan titatively with the modified Flory-Huggins equation without any need of the arbitrary Langmuir term, as required in the conventional "dual-mode" sorption model. Furthermore, fewer parameters are required than with the at least identical accuracy."

In dem Band XV /2 des Handbuches der medizinischen Radiologie wurden bei der klini- schen Nuklearmedizin bewuBt einige Kapitel herausgenommen, urn die weitere Entwicklung auf diesen Gebieten abzuwarten. Der vorliegende Band beinhaltet diese Kapitel. Die nuklear- medizinische Herz- und Kreislaufdiagnostik hat sich in der Zwischenzeit zu einem der drei wichtigsten diagnostischen Gebiete der Nuklearmedizin entwickelt. Dies nicht nur im Hin- blick auf die Aussagemoglichkeit sondern auch fur die Anzahl der zu untersuchenden Patien- ten. Mit dieser Entwicklung ist eindeutig bewiesen, daB die ExistenzHihigkeit der Nuklearme- dizin trotz erheblicher Leistungen anderer, auch bildgebenden Verfahren gewahrleistet ist. Die nuklearmedizinische Herz- und Kreislaufdiagnostik, die sich von den ersten Anfangen an, zunachst nur an einzelnen Zentren und hier auch langsam entwickelt hat, ist in ihrer Bedeutung in den letzten lahren sprunghaft angestiegen. Hinzu kommt allerdings, daB das Untersuchungsverfahren innerhalb der nuklearmedizinischen Technik eines der schwierigsten und aufwendigsten ist und daB die Anforderungen an den Arzt im Hinblick auf seine diagno- stischen Aussagen eine groBe Erfahrung verlangen. Aus diesen Grunden ist der Thematik in dies em Band erheblicher Raum eingeraumt worden. Die einze1nen Kapitel demonstrieren die Entwicklung, die Effizienz und die diagnostischen Aussagemoglichkeiten. Gleiches gilt fur die nuklearmedizinischen Untersuchungsverfahren fur die Padiatrie. Durch die standige Verbesserung der Radiopharmaka und der MeBgerateeinheiten weitet sich dieses Gebiet mehr aus und bringt tatsachlich richtig in Anwendung gebracht erhebliche Fortschritte fUr die Differentialdiagnostik bei Erkrankungen im Sauglings- und Kindesalter.

Cardiac nuclear medicine has grown dramatically over the past decade to the point where it is now an integral part of the routine diagnostic workup in patients with heart disease, particularly coro- nary artery disease. In no small part, this is the result of dramatic improvements in technology and the application of these improve- of diagnostic techniques. ments to the development and refinement In this book, authorities on cardiac imaging techniques provide an up-to-date description of the field, covering the clinical appli- cability, efficacy, and future potential of myocardial perfusion scinti- graphy, quantitation of regional blood flow, assessment of ventricu- lar performance, and detection of acute infarction using radio- tracers. This book provides the physician involved in cardiac diag- nosis with the background necessary to integrate the radiotracer method into his diagnostic armamentarium. Boston, August 1979 B.L.

Schizophrenia is one of the most severe psychiatric disorders, carrying with it significant stigma and a number of debilitating symptoms. While material on its "positive" symptoms, such as hallucinations and delusions, is readily available, its "negative" symptoms, which present heterogeneously as deficits across a variety of domains, are not nearly so well-documented and often go undiagnosed with no effective treatment. Given the poor functioning and outcomes which occur as a result of these symptoms, it is imperative they receive greater focus. Part of the Oxford Psychiatry Library (OPL) series, this concise pocketbook provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the definition, evaluation, and treatment of negative symptoms. Written by experts in the field, with key points at the beginning of each chapter for quick reference, this is an invaluable resource for any mental health care professional working with individuals affected by schizophrenia.

Das Ziel der Untersuchung von Nadine Bitterer ist die Aufdeckung handlungsanleitender Logiken und Praktiken, die eine zunehmende internationale Integration sowie scheinbar mobile Zirkulation von Immobilienanlagen ermoeglichen. Am Beispiel des Buroimmobilienmarktes Warschaus, der gerade in den letzten zehn Jahren zu einem attraktiven Anlageziel professioneller institutioneller Immobilieninvestoren wurde, analysiert sie, wie lokale Markte in eine sich zunehmend internationalisierende Immobilienwirtschaft integriert werden. Und dies vor dem Hintergrund einer zunehmenden Internationalisierung der Immobilienwirtschaft, die sowohl in einer enormen Ausweitung grenzuberschreitender Immobilieninvestitionen als auch in zunehmenden geographischen Ausdehnungen internationaler Verflechtungen von Immobilienmarkten sichtbar wird.

Die Feststellung, dass sich die globale Klimapolitik in einer tiefen Krise befindet, klingt mittlerweile beinahe nach einer abgedroschenen Phrase. Nur zu sehr haben sich mediale und wissenschaftliche Beobachter daran gewoehnt, den Parteien der Klimarahmenkonvention und des Kyoto-Protokolls von kurzfristigen machtpolitischen Erwagungen geleitete Untatigkeit, partikulares Gebaren oder gar den Zynismus eines apres nous la deluge vorzuwerfen. Fragt man nun die medialen und wissenschaftlichen Beobachter oder auch die politischen Protagonisten der globalen Klimapolitik nach einem Akteur, der in der Lage sein koennte, mit gutem Beispiel voranzugehen und der internationalen Staatengemeinschaft den Weg in eine dekarbonisierte Zukunft zu weisen, dann richtet sich das Prinzip Hoffnung nicht selten auf die Europaische Union (EU). Martin Bitter untersucht die Krise des europaischen Emissionshandels, indem er die Widerspruche marktbasierter Klimapolitik in den Blick nimmt und diese in das Machtfeld europaischen Regierens einbettet.

Ausgehend von einer Analyse des europaischen Primar- und Sekundarrechts sowie der Rechtsprechung des Europaischen Gerichtshofs unternimmt der Autor den Versuch, einen einheitlichen Begriff der Sanktion fur das Unionsrecht zu entwickeln. In der Begriffsbildung sieht er eine zentrale Aufgabe fur das europaische Rechtsschutzsystem. Denn die Feststellung, dass in einer bestimmten Massnahme eine Sanktion zu sehen ist, fungiert in der Rechtsprechung als Instrument, um den Anwendungsbereich der Verteidigungsrechte zu eroffnen
