No sound class requires so much basic knowledge of phonology,
acoustics, aerodynamics, and speech production as obstruents
(turbulent sounds) do. This book is intended to bridge a gap by
introducing the reader to the world of obstruents from a
multidisciplinary perspective. It starts with a review of
typological processes, continues with various contributions to the
phonetics-phonology interface, explains the realization of specific
turbulent sounds in endangered languages, and finishes with surveys
of obstruents from a sociophonetic, physical and pathological
perspective.
Inter-individual variation in speech is a topic of increasing
interest both in human sciences and speech technology. It can yield
important insights into biological, cognitive, communicative, and
social aspects of language. Written by specialists in
psycholinguistics, phonetics, speech development, speech perception
and speech technology, this volume presents experimental and
modeling studies that provide the reader with a deep understanding
of interspeaker variability and its role in speech processing,
speech development, and interspeaker interactions. It discusses how
theoretical models take into account individual behavior, explains
why interspeaker variability enriches speech communication, and
summarizes the limitations of the use of speaker information in
forensics.
Learning and memory processes are basic features of human
existence. They allow us to (un)consciously adapt to changes in our
social and physical environment in a variety of ways and may have
been a precursor for survival in human evolution. Through several
reviews and original work the book focuses on three key topics that
enhanced our understanding of the topic in the last twenty years:
first, the role of real-time auditory feedback in learning, second,
the role of motor aspects for learning and memory, and third,
representations in memory and the role of sleep on memory
consolidation. The electronic version of this book is freely
available, thanks to the support of libraries working with

This book compares five newly emerged democracies in Europe, South
East Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Cutting across vastly
different historical and cultural backgrounds, this book tells the
story of how societies come to terms with a painful past and how
politics, culture, and the economy intertwine in the process of
creating new democratic nations. The volume pioneers a new approach
to the study of democratization. It does so by combining
comparative and interdisciplinary analysis of South Africa, Poland,
(East) Germany, South Korea, and Chilethat is, five countries where
a similar general thrust of democratization is set against the most
diversified cultural and historical backgrounds.
Neben neuen Erkenntnissen zur Knorpelstruktur und zur Entstehung
der Arthrose werden die derzeit zur Verfugung stehenden
Therapieverfahren vorgestellt. Etablierte und neue medikamentose
Behandlungsmoglichkeiten sowie alternative Therapieverfahren werden
in dem Abschnitt 'Konservative Behandlungsmoglichkeiten'
beschrieben. Ausfuhrlich wird auch auf operative
Behandlungsmoglichkeiten wie z.B. Mikrofrakturierung,
Chondrozytentransplantation, verschiedene Grafts und
Umstellungsoperationen eingegangen.
Eine umfassende Darstellung zur "Volkskrankheit Arthrose" - fur
alle Arzte, die Arthrosepatienten beraten und behandeln."
Neue Aspekte und Entwicklungen in der Knieendoprothetik waren
das Thema der letzten 'Munsteraner Streitgesprache', die von
namhaften Autoren aus dem In- und Ausland, in diesem Buch
dargestellt sind. "
How is the voicing contrast in German realised with respect to its
laryngeal and supralaryngeal articulation and their coordination?
This book offers a comprehensive overview of the underlying
articulatory mechanisms and their corresponding acoustics with a
particular focus on differences in various word and stress
positions. It provides the first data on glottal opening occurring
in word final position, where the phonological rule of final
devoicing should apply. The results are discussed in light of the
phonetics-phonology-interface, the use of phonological terminology,
the role of timing, inter-articulatory coordination and stress.
Application Service Providing (ASP) is a recently emerged software
delivery model under which an Application Service Provider hosts,
manages and delivers software as a service to customers via the
Internet or a private network. Customers who are unsure about the
value of ASP and their demands may be reluctant to commit to ASP
contracts. The underlying research identifies determinants
influencing adoption intentions in the early technology stages of
ASP within electric utilities. The theoretical framework is based
on the findings of studies from van Everdingen and Frambach and is
adapted from Rogers work on the diffusion of innovations. The
tested model includes characteristics of the innovation, such as
relative (dis-) advantage of ASP, as well as characteristics of the
environment, the adopting company and importance of social
influence. After a broad qualitative study a quantitative web-based
survey was employed. All constructs rank high in measurement
quality and the overall model reveals food for an improved
conception of ASP as well as managerial practices.
