Speakers can get to know the meaning of any of indefinitely many sentences that they have never heard before. This statement encapsulates the problem of linguistic creativity, which lies at the core of philosophy of language and theoretical linguistics. It has also sparked off a considerable amount of work on the philosophy of mind. After establishing the failure of the familiar compositional approach to the problem, the book adopts a radically new start. It develops core elements of the later Wittgenstein's conception of philosophy, putting them to work todissolve' the problem, proving it ill-framed by clarifying the questions posing it and breaking the spell of mistaken analogies that inform it. This sharply focused monograph thus has a dual aim: coping with a crucial problem that turns out to be a lot tougher than is generally supposed, and presenting a precise and rigorous demonstration of an unfamiliar and exciting philosophical approach. Audience: Clearly written and lucidly structured, the book addresses professional philosophers and advanced undergraduates alike.

This volume is important because despite various external representations, such as analogies, metaphors, and visualizations being commonly used by physics teachers, educators and researchers, the notion of using the pedagogical functions of multiple representations to support teaching and learning is still a gap in physics education. The research presented in the three sections of the book is introduced by descriptions of various psychological theories that are applied in different ways for designing physics teaching and learning in classroom settings. The following chapters of the book illustrate teaching and learning with respect to applying specific physics multiple representations in different levels of the education system and in different physics topics using analogies and models, different modes, and in reasoning and representational competence. When multiple representations are used in physics for teaching, the expectation is that they should be successful. To ensure this is the case, the implementation of representations should consider design principles for using multiple representations. Investigations regarding their effect on classroom communication as well as on the learning results in all levels of schooling and for different topics of physics are reported. The book is intended for physics educators and their students at universities and for physics teachers in schools to apply multiple representations in physics in a productive way.

There are a great deal of books on introductory analysis in print today, many written by mathematicians of the first rank. The publication of another such book therefore warrants a defense. I have taught analysis for many years and have used a variety of texts during this time. These books were of excellent quality mathematically but did not satisfy the needs of the students I was teaching. They were written for mathematicians but not for those who were first aspiring to attain that status. The desire to fill this gap gave rise to the writing of this book. This book is intended to serve as a text for an introductory course in analysis. Its readers will most likely be mathematics, science, or engineering majors undertaking the last quarter of their undergraduate education. The aim of a first course in analysis is to provide the student with a sound foundation for analysis, to familiarize him with the kind of careful thinking used in advanced mathematics, and to provide him with tools for further work in it. The typical student we are dealing with has completed a three-semester calculus course and possibly an introductory course in differential equations. He may even have been exposed to a semester or two of modern algebra. All this time his training has most likely been intuitive with heuristics taking the place of proof. This may have been appropriate for that stage of his development.

Das Verhaltnis des "Seneca philosophus" zum "Seneca tragicus" ist fur die Interpretation von Senecas Tragoedien noch immer entscheidend. Die Autorin widmet sich dem Problem im Bereich der Theologie. Als zentrale theologische Problemfelder untersucht sie in Senecas philosophischen Schriften und Tragoedien sein Verstandnis von providentia und damit die Theodizeefrage sowie sein Verstandnis des fatum und damit die Willensfreiheit. Anders als die bisherigen Untersuchungen, deren Interesse vorrangig den Dramen galt und die die philosophischen Schriften nur am Rande berucksichtigten, bildet in dieser Studie die Theologie der philosophischen Schriften den Ausgangspunkt, um deren Problemstellungen auch fur eine Deutung der Dramen fruchtbar zu machen. Im Gegensatz zu den Forschungspositionen, die Senecas Dramen entweder als philosophische Lehrstucke oder als Negation der stoischen Philosophie verstehen, erhellt die von der Autorin gewahlte Vorgehensweise Senecas Bezugnahme auf philosophische Fragestellungen innerhalb der Dramen. In ihnen setzt sich Seneca im Gedankenexperiment mit Problemen und Aporien auseinander, die auch im philosophischen Diskurs der Stoa nicht zufriedenstellend aufzuloesen sind.

Die Strukturierung der speziellen Skeletbande muBte von der Aufgabe ausgehen, daB fur jeden einzelnen Skeletteil nach der Einstellungstechnik die Anatomie, die normale Entwicklung, die Variationen und Mif3bildungen, die traumatischen Veranderungen und die Begutachtungsfragen getrennt abgehandelt werden, wahrend generalisierte oder systematische Erkrankungen, Strahlenschaden und Entzundungen, Geschwiilste und Erbkrankheiten - um nur einige zu nennen - wegen ihres die einzelnen Skeletteile ubergreifenden Charakters oder ihrer grundsatzlichen Erscheinungsbilder zusammen- gefaBt werden, weil sich nur auf diese Weise unertragliche Uberschneidungen und Wieder- holungen vermeiden lassen. Dieser Aufgabe entsprechend bildet dieser Band eine Zusammenfassung un seres heutigen Wissens auf einem Gebiet, auf welchem vor den Radiologen schon viele Anatomen- Generationen wissenschaftlich erfolgreich tatig waren, eines Wissens, zu dem neb en den Anatomen, Pathologen und Radiologen auch Chirurgen, Orthopaden und Padiater intensiv beigetragen haben. Das dadurch zwangslaufig sehr breit gestreute Schrifttum muBte ausgewertet und dem wissenschaftlich Tatigen in einer noch praktikablen Form zuganglich gemacht werden. Hier die richtige Auswahl zu treffen, durfte zu den schwierig- sten Aufgaben eines Autors gehoren. Dariiber hinaus solI dieser Band jedoch auch fur die tagliche Praxis ein nutzlicher Helfer und in schwierigen Fragen ein zuverliissiger Ratgeber sein.

Die Herstellung von Schraubverbindungen ist einer der haufigsten Montagevorgange. Bei zunehmendem Wettbewerbsdruck und immer kurzerer Lebensdauer der Produkte stellt daher die Frage ihrer Automatisierbarkeit ein zentrales Thema der Forschungen im Bereich der Montageautomatisierung dar. Ausgehend von der Erfassung des Stands der Technik in der flexiblen Schraubmontage und der Analyse des Schraubprozesses zeigt die vorliegende Publikation die prozessrelevanten Einflussparameter auf. Diese Parameter werden quantifiziert, und Anforderungsprofile fur Funktionsmodule zur Schraubmontageautomatisierung erarbeitet. Vorgestellt wird ein Rechnerprogramm, das die Simulation des Fugeprozesses ermoeglicht, und zwar erstmals dreidimensional und unter Einbeziehung samtlicher Fasen und Flankengeometrien beider Gewindepartner. Dieses Programm erlaubt die Prozesssimulation bei beliebigen Relativlagen der Gewindepartner zueinander und lasst so die realitatsnahe Nachbildung von Schraubvorgangen zu, da auch Positionierfehler in die Betrachtungen miteinbezogen werden koennen.

Advance Notice: Jesus Wins is a journey through Revelation into the future. Revelation is glorious: it reveals God and His plans Revelation is relevant: it affects each of us personally Revelation is understandable: it involves real places, events and people There's no journey greater than the pursuit of God. We're all walking into the future and God wants to be our guide and companion. The future will overtake everyone. It is literal and inevitable. The good news is that Jesus wins - He has conquered sin and death. He is Sovereign over our past, present and future. The prize at the end is the glory of His presence. So come journey with me into the future through the book of Revelation. For many it will be a frightening and deadly trail full of the horrors of the consequences of sin. But for followers of Jesus Christ it will be very different - we will be encouraged and filled with hope.

The Air Force's current doctrinal maxims of centralized control and decentralized execution have the potential to produce over centralized planning at the theater air operations center (AOC); the result of this tendency is a cumbersome air tasking order (ATO) and a campaign vulnerable to lost communications, information overload, and decapitation. One cure for such problem is the decentralization of tactical planning through the use of mission-type orders at the wing or air task-force level. Mission-type orders include a clear statement of the superior commander's intent and state each unit's tasks in terms of operational effects to be achieved in several days rather than daily targets and aim points. A related problem exists in the horizontal command relationships at the theater level. During Operation Desert Storm, there was friction between some ground commanders and the joint forces air component commander (JFACC) about the issue of air interdiction targeting. When the theater CINC insisted that ground commanders pick air targets and then micromanaged the targeting himself, without providing feedback to these commanders, they frequently blamed the JFACC and his staff for ignoring their targeting nominations. To reassert their influence, they supported the formation of a joint targeting board that had the potential to degrade the JFACC's control of his air interdiction assets. An alternative to such a system is the use of mission-type requests from the ground commander to the air commander couched in terms of desired operational effects over a discrete period of time. This study seeks to answer the question, "If a joint force air commander finds it useful or necessary to operate at the theater level and one level below with mission-type orders or requests, what are the preconditions that must exist in order to make such a partially decentralized command system work?"

Intermediate Examination Paper from the year 2010 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, grade: befriedigend, Queen Mary University of London (Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS)), course: International Studies in Intellectual Property Law (LL.M.) - End of first term dissertation, language: English, comment: "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and loose both." Benjamin Franklin, abstract: Rapidly developing technologies are providing new and very powerful means to sort, combine and analyse data. This data exists in a networked environment, thus personal information can be collected and processed on any computer on the Net and is, at least in theory, accessible by every computer on the Net. The development of the Internet has made it possible to transfer this data "around the globe at the click of a mouse." Fresh business models such as "cloud computing," the newest "driver to illustrate the speed and breadth of the environment," allow this data to be processed across national borders on a routine basis. Individuals and companies are "increasingly immersed in social networking, search technologies, online commerce and many other activities in which information about an individual is sent worldwide from one point to another." These activities became more and more borderless, because the Internet, as an open window to the world, blurs the lines between public and private space, firstly since globalisation and the outsourcing of economic actors entrain an ever growing exchange of personal data, additionally because of the security pressure in the name of the legitimate fight against terrorism opens the access to a significant number of data to an increasing number of public authorities and finally this is due the tools of the digital society accompany everyone at each stage of life by leaving permanently individual and borderless traces in both space and time. Therefore, ca
