Originally published in 1982, this book introduces the student to the central problem of all perceptual theories: just how does the perceiver identify particular objects? In focusing on the problem, Dr Wilding provides a coherent, well organized framework for its study, bypassing the conventional split between perception and reaction time evidence which was common to most textbooks at the time. The author draws on evidence from a wider number of research traditions and argues that each has a contribution to make to any account of perception. Throughout he emphasizes the methodological basis of the research discussed, in order to provide students with a solid foundation for their own practical work.

Developing many of the major, exciting, pre- and post-millennium developments from the ground up, this book is an ideal entry point for graduate students into quantum information theory. Significant attention is given to quantum mechanics for quantum information theory, and careful studies of the important protocols of teleportation, superdense coding, and entanglement distribution are presented. In this new edition, readers can expect to find over 100 pages of new material, including detailed discussions of Bell's theorem, the CHSH game, Tsirelson's theorem, the axiomatic approach to quantum channels, the definition of the diamond norm and its interpretation, and a proof of the Choi-Kraus theorem. Discussion of the importance of the quantum dynamic capacity formula has been completely revised, and many new exercises and references have been added. This new edition will be welcomed by the upcoming generation of quantum information theorists and the already established community of classical information theorists.

In this bright and joyous picture book readers follow a day in the life of a young gender non-binary child. A child gets ready for a wonderful day. They gleefully get dressed, hug their parents, go to school, and play with friends. All the while, unapologetically reminding themselves that they are and can only be themselves. The non-binary experience is brightly illustrated as we follow our main character through their typical day. The story's bouncy and fun refrain reminds all readers of gender neutral pronouns and affirms the identities of non-binary children--encouraging readers to practice empathy for themselves and others.

A guide to lithium sulfur batteries that explores their materials, electrochemical mechanisms and modelling and includes recent scientific developments Lithium Sulfur Batteries (Li-S) offers a comprehensive examination of Li-S batteries from the viewpoint of the materials used in their construction, the underlying electrochemical mechanisms and how this translates into the characteristics of Li-S batteries. The authors - noted experts in the field - outline the approaches and techniques required to model Li-S batteries. Lithium Sulfur Batteries reviews the application of Li-S batteries for commercial use and explores many broader issues including the development of battery management systems to control the unique characteristics of Li-S batteries. The authors include information onsulfur cathodes, electrolytes and other components used in making Li-S batteries and examine the role of lithium sulfide, the shuttle mechanism and its effects, and degradation mechanisms. The book contains a review of battery design and: Discusses electrochemistry of Li-S batteries and the analytical techniques used to study Li-S batteries Offers information on the application of Li-S batteries for commercial use Distills years of research on Li-S batteries into one comprehensive volume Includes contributions from many leading scientists in the field of Li-S batteries Explores the potential of Li-S batteries to power larger battery applications such as automobiles, aviation and space vehicles Written for academic researchers, industrial scientists and engineers with an interest in the research, development, manufacture and application of next generation battery technologies, Lithium Sulfur Batteries is an essential resource for accessing information on the construction and application of Li-S batteries.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Wirtschaftsgeographie, Universitat Duisburg-Essen (Wirtschaftswissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Traditionell wurde die Elektrizitatswirtschaft in ihrer Gesamtheit als naturlicher Monopolbereich angesehen, von dem angenommen wurde, dass sich kein wirksamer Wettbewerb bilde und der demnach zu regulieren sei. Als Gegenleistung fur die Beistimmung eines Monopolstatus, bei dem unter Aufsicht einer Regulierungsinstitution keine Uberrenditen erzielt werden sollten und die Unternehmen keinem Risiko durch Wettbewerb ausgesetzt waren, wurden den Unternehmen soziale und politische Verpflichtungen auferlegt. Die Sichtweise wird in der heutigen Zeit jedoch als uberholt angesehen, auch wenn sich der Ordnungsrahmen der Stromwirtschaft in den entwickelten Landern lediglich sukzessiv verandert. Ein deutlicher Wandel hin zu Deregulierungstendenzen in der Elektrizitatswirtschaft ist seit Anfang der neunziger Jahre in verschiedenen Landern zu beobachten. In Nordamerika ist der Deregulierungsprozess auf unterschiedliche Weise in den einzelnen Bundesstaaten strukturiert und uneinheitlich vorangeschritten. Mit der Umstrukturierung der Elektrizitatswirtschaft in Kalifornien ubernahm der westliche Bundesstaat die Vorreiterrolle in den USA. Unvorhergesehne Begebenheiten stellten dabei den kalifornischen Strommarkt vor Probleme, die den weiteren Verlauf nach Inkrafttreten der Regulierungsreformen drastisch beeinflussten. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, zunachst einen Uberblick uber die elektrizitatswirtschaftlichen Deregulierungsdiskussionen im Allgemeinen zu verschaffen sowie die grundsatzlichen stromwirtschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika darzustellen. Im Speziellen werden der Deregulierungsprozess und die Folgen auf dem Strommarkt im Bundesstaat Kalifornien bis zum gegenwartigen Zeitpunkt aufgezeigt. Inhaltsverzeichnis: Inhaltsverzeichnis: Abbild
