The original Russian edition is based on a lecture course given by the author and provides a modern treatment of the physics of superconductors with special attention paid to the physical interpretation of the phenomena. This revised English translation has been enlarged by the inclusion of such new developments as High Temperature Superconductivity, and, as such, is the most up-to-date textbook on the subject available. The editor, Paul Müller, is himself a winner of the Walter Schottky Award for Solid State Research.

The Ecological Farm is a breakthrough resource for ecological fruit and vegetable growers at every scale who want to go beyond organic. Through a unique ecosystem-balancing approach focusing on reduced tillage, minimising farm and garden inputs and pest control, you’ll learn how to build higher soil quality and fertility by using fewer harmful inputs.   Farmer, consultant, and educator Helen Atthowe (along with her late husband, Carl Rosato) have decades of farming experience which is shared in this essential book. They guide readers on how to reduce or eliminate the use of outside inputs of fertiliser or pesticides – even those that are commonly used on certified organic orchards and market gardens. With clear, easy to action language and colour photography, charts, and graphs throughout, The Ecological Farm emphasizes the importance of managing the details of an entire growing system over the full life of an enterprise. The Ecological Farm features a crop-by-crop guide to growing more than 25 of the most popular and profitable vegetables and fruits, including specific management advice for dealing with pests and diseases. You’ll also learn how to: design a system that establishes a year-round root-in-soil system for microbial health strengthen the “immune system� of a farm or garden supply crop needs using only on-farm inputs such as cover crops and living mulch maximise the presence of beneficial insects and microbes minimise ecological impact in dealing with insect pest and disease problems The Ecological Farm makes complex, sometimes messy, ecological concepts and practices understandable to all growers, and makes healthy farming, in which nature is invited to participate, possible.

While the throughput of microprocessor systems tends to increase as a result of ongoing technology scaling and the advent of multi-core systems, the off-chip I/O communication bandwidth emerges as one of the potential bottlenecks that limit overall performance. In order to alleviate the communication speed constraints, optical data communication interfaces move ever closer to the processor core. It is widely expected that future generation digital systems will increasingly rely on chip-to-chip and board-to-board optical data communications for higher bandwidth and better noise immunity. This book focuses on optical communications for short and very short distance applications and discusses the monolithic integration of optical receivers with processing elements in standard CMOS technologies.

In the world of optical data communications this book will be an absolute must-read. It focuses on optical communications for short and very short distance applications and discusses the monolithic integration of optical receivers with processing elements in standard CMOS technologies. What s more, it provides the reader with the necessary background knowledge to fully understand the trade-offs in short-distance communication receiver design and presents the key issues to be addressed in the development of such receivers in CMOS technologies. Moreover, novel design approaches are presented."

Ingrid Bergman and George Sanders star in this romantic drama co-written and directed by Roberto Rossellini. Wealthy English couple Katherine Joyce (Bergman) and her husband Alex (Sanders) travel to Italy to sell a villa they have inherited. Far from their London home, Katherine confesses to having had a secret lover and finds her husband becomes even more distant with her; to such an extent that they decide to finish their holiday apart. Whilst Alex enjoys the company of other expatriates on the island of Capri, Katherine tours around the sights of Naples and Pompeii. However, the different events they experience begin to bring the couple back together.

Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde versucht, die folgenden in der Einleitung gestellten Fragen zu beantworten: 1. 1st es moglich, die Vertriebskosten verrechnungstechnisch von den Produk- tionskosten zu losen? 2. 1st es mit anderen als den herkommlichen Verrechnungsmethoden moglich, im Vertriebsbereich der Forderung nach Kostenwahrheit naherzukommen? Die verrechnungstechnische Verbundenheit von Produktions- und Vertriebs- kosten ergibt sich aus der heute noch iiblichen sutpmarischen Zuschlagskalkula- tion, wobei fUr die Verteilung der Vertriebskosten die Fertigungs-oder Herstell- kosten als Zuschlagsbasis verwendet werden. Durch eine solche Pauschalrechnung wird einmal die wichtigste Grundregel der Kostenrechnung - die Verteilung der Kosten nach dem Verursachungsprinzip - verletzt; zum anderen lassen sich Fakten iiber die Vertriebskosten, die der Unternehmensleitung als informative Daten flir absatzpolitische Erwagungen und Entscheidungen dienen konnen, nicht ermitteln. Es wurde deshalb die pauschale Zuschlagsrechnung durch ein Verrechnungsver- fahren ersetzt, das der Forderung nach Kostenwahrheit eher entspricht und das gleichzeitig zu einer neuen, erweiterten Basis flir Auswertungen von industriellen Vertriebskosten nach absatzpolitischen Gesichtspunkten flihrt. Hierfiir erschien die Methode der additiven Verrechnung von Vertriebskosten ein geeignetes Instrument. Erst mit ihrer Hilfe konnen Daten ermittelt werden, die Einsicht gewahren in die Stiuktur, Entwicklung und letztlich in die verursachungsgema.Be Belastung von Leistungseinheiten mit industriellen Vertriebskosten.

Organizing for Suicide Prevention: A Case Study at the Golden Gate Bridge describes the long struggle to end a tragic history of individuals jumping from the bridge to their death. Readers learn how a group of advocates grew and sustained a coalition led by families touched by suicide, and including prevention supporters, health professionals, and other interested parties, to build a successful campaign for a suicide prevention structure at the Golden Gate Bridge. Central to this story is an understanding that restricting easy access to lethal means-a simple yet often poorly understood suicide prevention technique-can save lives. The text demonstrates how the coalition's advocacy was employed to gain approval for an access restriction structure on the bridge. Dedicated chapters help readers understand how to develop a public campaign to address suicide hotspots or other mental health issues through community organizing, assertive communications, and a persistent focus on goals. Balancing the findings of suicide prevention researchers with practical application, Organizing for Suicide Prevention is an ideal textbook for undergraduate or graduate social work macro courses focused on communities and organizations. It is also a valuable resource for practicing social workers, community advocates, and community organizers.

Jess Franco co-writes and directs this German horror. When Linda Westinghouse (Ewa Stroemberg) visits an exotic nightclub, she finds herself entranced by the sight of a beautiful young woman performing an erotic dance with an animated mannequin. Over the following days, she becomes increasingly troubled by the powerful pull she felt towards this young woman, and jumps at the chance to take a business trip to the island of Countess Nadine Carody (Soledad Miranda), hoping that it will keep her mind occupied. But as chance would have it, the Countess and the dancer are one and the same woman, and she has a whole store of vampiric delights ready and waiting for the innocent Linda...
