Semiotic Theory of Learning asks what learning is and what brings
it about, challenging the hegemony of psychological and
sociological constructions of learning in order to develop a
burgeoning literature in semiotics as an educational foundation.
Drawing on theoretical research and its application in empirical
studies, the book attempts to avoid the problematization of the
distinction between theory and practice in semiotics. It covers
topics such as signs, significance and semiosis; the ontology of
learning; the limits of learning; ecosemiotics; ecology and
sexuality. The book is written by five of the key figures in the
semiotics field, each committed to the belief that living is a
process of interaction through acts of signification with a
signifying environment. While the authors are agreed on the value
of semiotic frameworks, the book aims not to present an entirely
coherent line in every respect, but rather to reflect ongoing
scholarship and debates in the area. In light of this, the book
offers a range of possible interpretations of major semiotic
theorists, unsettling assumptions while offering a fresh, and still
developing, series of perspectives on learning from academics
grounded in semiotics. Semiotic Theory of Learning is a timely and
valuable text that will be of great interest to academics,
researchers and postgraduates working in the fields of educational
studies, semiotics, psychology, philosophy, applied linguistics and
media studies.

The revolutionary impetus of the NMR methods in organic chemistry
has parallels in the field of boron chemistry. lIB NMR spectroscopy
provided a basis for the elucida tion of structures and reactions
of the boron hydrides. However, although many studies have been
carried out with the higher boranes, carboranes, metalloboranes,
etc., and although certain patterns have emerged, the correlation
between the observed chemical shift and the assigned structural
unit is still not fully understood. Therefore, predictions in this
area are still rather limited, and semiquantitative interpretations
are not yet pos sible. Several years ago Eaton and Lipscomb
sUpImarized the status in this field in their book "NMR Studies of
Boron Hydrides and Related Compounds" and a plethora of new data
has accumulated since then. The book also contained material on
simple bo rane derivatives, but they were not discussed in any
detail. On the other hand many systematic studies, both synthetic
and spectroscopic, have been conducted on these simple boron
materials in the last decade. Thus a large amount of NMR
information is available, not only on lIB but also on 1 H, 1 3 C,
and 14 N. However, this information is widely scattered in the
literature, and often the data are not discussed at all. It see med
appropriate, therefore, to collect these data and to present them
in one volume."
A process model is very often used for system analysis, design and
management in various application areas. Using a process model has
the advantage that it has only to be as precise as necessary within
the parameters of the individual field of application, whereas the
precision externally is less important. This makes process modeling
easier and open for structuring. The contributions deal with
different approaches to process modelling, especially in the areas
of business process modelling, logistics and production processes
and water systems.
This book investigates how the media have become self-referential
or self-reflexive instead of mediating between the real or
fictional worlds about which their messages pretend to be and
between the audience that they wish to inform, counsel, or
entertain. The concept of self-reference is viewed very broadly.
Self-reflexivity, metatexts, metapictures, metamusic,
metacommunication, as well as intertextual, and intermedial
references are all conceived of as forms of self-reference,
although to different degrees and levels. The contributions focus
on the semiotic foundations of reference and self-reference,
discuss the transdisciplinary context of self-reference in
postmodern culture, and examine original studies from the worlds of
print advertising, photography, film, television, computer games,
media art, web art, and music. A wide range of different media
products and topics are discussed including self-promotion on TV,
the TV show Big Brother, the TV format "historytainment," media
nostalgia, the documentation of documentation in documentary films,
Marilyn Monroe in photographs, humor and paradox in animated films,
metacommunication in computer games, metapictures, metafiction,
metamusic, body art, and net art.
The reconstruction of articular cartilage defects is still one of the major challenges for the orthopaedic surgeon. A variety of surgical techniques such as microfracturing, transplantation of osteochondral grafts and the autologous chondrocyte transplantation have been developed over the last decades. Recent progress in material science and cell and tissue engineering has led to a worldwide increasing number of scientists working on cell-based articular cartilage repair strategies. In a workshop symposium held in Würzburg, Germany, in November 2002, leading scientists from biomedical engineering, basic science and specialized surgeons discussed the state of the art in "Cartilage Surgery and Future Perspectives".
This volume provides a comprehensive account of the most recent
trends in human leukemia, as presented at the Ninth Wilsede
Meeting. The internationally renowned contributors deal with all
different aspects of these diseases: As well as discussing
important clinical aspects of leukemia, new information on the
biological basis of leukemia gained using the methods of molecular
genetics, cell and molecular biology, virology, and immunology is
covered. The book shows both the complexity of leukemia research,
as well as the value of basic scientific research in furthering
clinical medicine and therapy.
You see things, and sa)' why? But I dream 1hings that never were,
and I say, 11'hy 110t? George Bernhard Shaw Far ahead of his time,
June 1st, 1909, Alexander Maximov communicated in a lecture, given
in the Charite in Berlin, the fundamental knowledge, that there
exists a lymphoid hemopoetic stem cell. Alexander Friedenstein
explained that during the following years, Maximov also showed that
the idea of interaction between hemopoetic cells and their stroma
to be one of the most significant experiences. Monoclonal
antibodies, recombinant DNA technics and the improvement of tissue
culture models are the major developments to improve our
possibilities to clarify growth and differentiation functions of
hemopoetic cells. During the last two decades it was shown that
soluble products, released from T cells, were not only involved in
inducing B cells to produce specific immunoglobulin secretion after
antigen stimulation. Furthermore, lymphokines together with other
cytokines regulate the growth and differentiation of hemopoetic
cells. As I have learned from Dick Gershon, our knowledge of the
cellular basis for immunoregulation has come a long way since 450
B.C. Thucydides comments on the possible role of immune response in
controlling the Black Death. Dick Gershon speculated that no
scientific interest for these interesting observations was put
forth at that time. Perhaps the problems, the Athenians were having
with the Spartans, converted money from basis research into the
military budget.
Ideo autem omnes ad consilium vocari diximus, quia saepe iuniori
Dominus revelat quod melius est. * Benedictus de Nursia Regula
Benedicti, ca. 550 A. c. Caput III,3 The Wilsede Meetings were
initiated in 1973 as an unusual experiment, and in the meantime
this biennial symposium has already come to constitute an
established and successful tradition. In June 1986 scientists and
physicians met for the seventh time in the 3- year-old Emmenhof in
Wilsede, in the heart of the Liineburg Heath, to dis- cuss modern
trends in human leukemia. It was Pappenheim who in 1910 prepared
the first international hematol- ogy congress. It was to have been
held in Berlin under the title "Der groBe mononukleiire Leukozyt
Ehrlichs, seine Morphologie und Funktion, seine Herkunft und seine
Benennung" (Ehrlich's large mononuclear leukocyte. Its morphology,
function, origin, and name), which was the most important and
topical question at that time. It is amazing to think that as early
as 1900, thanks to the pioneering research of Maximov and the
innovative staining method developed by Ehrlich, the
differentiation of the blood cells had, to a large extent, already
been discovered. It is a sad fact that this congress never took
place due to personal controversies among leading hematol- ogists,
especially between Pappenheim and the Austrian hematologist Tiirk.
Fortunately the Wilsede Meetings have never incurred this type of
per- sonal controversies. On the contrary, both matter-of-fact
discussions at a high scientific level and the development of
personal friendships have always characterized their singular
atmosphere.
In June 1984 a total of 169 physicians, scientists and students
assembled in the now familiar and much-loved lair in the Wilsede
Luneberg Heath near Hamburg, Germany, for the sixth biennial
conference on Modern Trends in Human Leukaemia. This meeting,
conducted by Prof. Rolf Neth in his own inimitable style, has
established itself as one ofthe major events in the all too crowded
programme of international conferences on leukaemia, cancer and
related topics. Some may ponder why, with its "rustic" setting -
flies, equine deposits, and lack of easy exit -, Wilsede has such
an irresistible and persistent lure for so many of the world's top
practitioners ofleukaemia research? The an- swer is, I suspect, a
cocktail of Rolfs extraordinary charm, the pleasure of meeting
friends and colleagues in a uniquely informal and relaxed atmo-
sphere and the special style of the proceedings themselves, which
focus on the evaluation of ideas and hypotheses rather than the
cataloguing of data.

"His name is Percy Bysshe Shelley, and he is the author of a
poetical work entitled "Alastor, or the Spirit of Solitude." "With
these words, the radical journalist and poet Leigh Hunt announced
his discovery in 1816 of an extraordinary talent within "a new
school of poetry rising of late."
The third volume of the acclaimed edition of "The Complete
Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley" includes "Alastor," one of
Shelley's first major works, and all the poems that Shelley
completed, for either private circulation or publication, during
the turbulent years from 1814 to March 1818: "Hymn to Intellectual
Beauty," "Mont Blanc," "Laon and Cythna," as well as shorter
pieces, such as his most famous sonnet, "Ozymandias." It was during
these years that Shelley, already an accomplished and practiced
poet with three volumes of published verse, authored two major
volumes, earned international recognition, and became part of the
circle that was later called the Younger Romantics.
As with previous volumes, extensive discussions of the poems'
composition, influences, publication, circulation, reception, and
critical history accompany detailed records of textual variants for
each work. Among the appendixes are Mary W. Shelley's 1839 notes on
the poems for these years, a table of the forty-two revisions made
to "Laon and Cythna" for its reissue as "The Revolt of Islam," and
Shelley's errata list for the same.
It is in the works included in this volume that the recognizable
and characteristic voice of Shelley emerges--unmistakable,
consistent, and vital.

What does it take to cross a border, and what does it take to
belong? Sandra Noeth examines the entangled experiences of borders
and of collectivity through the perspective of bodies. By
dramaturgical analyses of contemporary artistic work from Lebanon
and Palestine, Noeth shows how borders and collectivity are
constructed and negotiated through performative, corporeal,
movement-based, and sensory strategies and processes. This
interdisciplinary study is made urgent by social and political
transformations across the Middle East and beyond from 2010
onwards. It puts to the fore the residual, body-bound structural
effects of borders and of collectivity and proceeds to develop
notions of agency and responsibility that are immanently bound to
bodies in relation.

Friedrich Schiller - Ober die as the- tische Erziehung des
Menschen. In den Horen, 22. Brief (1795) We are glad that you have
all come to this small village and I hope that you will feel at
home here for the next few days. The special atmosphere of the
surround- ings will probably have a good influence on our
discussions, and you will perhaps remember this when you are back
home again. It takes hard work to save this little piece of nature
for man in our highly industrialized world, and we should all be
grateful to the Verein Naturschutzpark e. V. (founded in 1909),
Alfred Toepfer and his associates for their efforts. We intend to
discuss modern trends in human leukemia in this workshop, but we
should also take the opportunity to reflect on the trends of the
past, which might still be modern.
Von Finanzmarkten wird gefordert, dass sich einerseits
Informationen in den Marktpreisen widerspiegeln, andererseits
Finanzmarkte Schutz vor Insidern bieten. Aufgrund fehlender Daten
uber die Verfugbarkeit und Verbreitung von Informationen im Markt
kann man anhand von Kapitalmarktdaten nicht untersuchen, inwieweit
diese Forderungen erfullt werden. Der Autor analysiert daher
Finanzmarkte im Experimentallabor. Im ersten Experiment pruft er,
wie Informationen in die Marktpreise gelangen und weist nach, dass
das Fehlverhalten einzelner Handler einen Einfluss auf den
Aggregationsprozess hat. Im zweiten Experiment zeigt er, dass
Insider nur in einfachen Situationen identifizierbar sind.
