The Orphan in Eighteenth-Century Fiction explores how the figure of the orphan was shaped by changing social and historical circumstances. Analysing sixteen major novels from Defoe to Austen, this original study explains the undiminished popularity of literary orphans and reveals their key role in the construction of gendered subjectivity.

This collection of new and original papers on mathematical aspects of nonlinear dispersive equations includes both expository and technical papers that reflect a number of recent advances in the field. The expository papers describe the state of the art and research directions. The technical papers concentrate on a specific problem and the related analysis and are addressed to active researchers.

The book deals with many topics that have been the focus of intensive research and, in several cases, significant progress in recent years, including hyperbolic conservation laws, Schrodinger operators, nonlinear Schrodinger and wave equations, and the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations."

Un sere ursprungliche Absicht, die noch fehlenden Krankheitsbilder des leukozy- taren Systems in einem Band zusammenzufassen, muBten wir aufgeben, da ein solcher Band das fUr ein Handbuch ertragliche Volumen weit uberschritten hatte. Die notwendige Teilung erwies sich dann auch yom Inhalt her als richtig und wunschenswert. Der Teilband Il/6 legt nunmehr unser derzeitiges Wissen uber die verschiedenen Leukamieformen detailliert und ausgebreitet vor: Der theoretischen Basis unserer Arbeit wurden mit Absicht mehrere einleitende Kapi- tel gewidmet, die sich in ihrer Stoffauswahl aber immer den praktischen Bedurf- nissen unterordnen. So ist es verstandlich, daB die Grundlagen unserer therapeu- tischen Moglichkeiten besonders ausfUhrlich dargesteUt wurden, unter ihnen vor allem die supportiven MaBnahmen in ihren vielfaltigen Schattierungen, deren Anwendungsmoglichkeiten naturlich uber den engeren Bereich der Leukamien hinausgehen. Der bald folgende 7. Teilband wird sich dann ausfUhrlich mit den sogenann- ten Non-Hodgkin-Lymphomen befassen, also jener Krankheitsgruppierung, die erst in den letzten Jahren als ubergeordnete Einheit zahlreicher, sich in mancher- lei Einzelheiten unterscheidender Erkrankungen des lymphatischen Systems her- ausgearbeitet wurde. Dieser Band wird daher als eine wichtige Erganzung des Teilbandes IllS zu verstehen sein.

The origins of the harmonic analysis go back to an ingenious idea of Fourier that any reasonable function can be represented as an infinite linear combination of sines and cosines. Today's harmonic analysis incorporates the elements of geometric measure theory, number theory, probability, and has countless applications from data analysis to image recognition and from the study of sound and vibrations to the cutting edge of contemporary physics. The present volume is based on lectures presented at the summer school on Harmonic Analysis. These notes give fresh, concise, and high-level introductions to recent developments in the field, often with new arguments not found elsewhere. The volume will be of use both to graduate students seeking to enter the field and to senior researchers wishing to keep up with current developments.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed conference proceedings of the 5th International Conference on E-Voting and Identity, VoteID 2015, held in Bern, Switzerland, in September 2015. The 10 revised full papers presented, including one keynote and three invited talks, were carefully selected from 26 submissions. The papers deal with real-world electronic systems; advanced voting protocols; document analysis, machine-checked reasoning, e-voting system in court.

Essay aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Padagogik - Medienpadagogik, einseitig bedruckt, Note: A, Veranstaltung: Technology in Education, 22 Eintragungen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Englisch, Abstract: Technology - having been seen as evil and promise the same time the truth probably lying somewhere in the middle. Similar might be the situation if it comes to the question of how the role of technology is considered within educational settings. Such consideration is the purpose of this research paper. To do so the term technology in education is distinguished from the term educational technoloy/technologies as well as technology education. As soon it is clear what we are talking about the pros and cons - and the challenges - can be discussed, and will be discussed.
