This book gathers the proceedings of the conference "Cultures of
Mathematics and Logic," held in Guangzhou, China. The event was the
third in a series of interdisciplinary, international conferences
emphasizing the cultural components of philosophy of mathematics
and logic. It brought together researchers from many disciplines
whose work sheds new light on the diversity of mathematical and
logical cultures and practices. In this context, the cultural
diversity can be diachronical (different cultures in different
historical periods), geographical (different cultures in different
regions), or sociological in nature.
This contributed volume presents selected research papers from the
8th workshop on Logistics and Supply Chain Management, which was
held in October 2013 in Berkeley, California. It focuses on the
topical issue of quantitative approaches in logistics and supply
chain management, mainly covering facility location and location
routing; vehicle routing and scheduling; courier, express and
parcel service network design; healthcare logistics as well as
logistics risk management. The target audience primarily comprises
research experts and practitioners in the field, but the book will
also be beneficial to graduate students.

This volume seeks to further the use of formal methods in
clarifying one of the central problems of philosophy: that of our
free human agency and its place in our indeterministic world. It
celebrates the important contributions made in this area by Nuel
Belnap, American logician and philosopher.
Philosophically, indeterminism and free action can seem far
apart, but in Belnap's work, they are intimately linked. This book
explores their philosophical interconnectedness through a selection
of original research papers that build forth on Belnap's logical
and philosophical work. Some contributions take the form of
critical discussions of Belnap's published work, some develop
points made in his publications in new directions, and others
provide additional insights on the topics of indeterminism and free
action.
In Nuel Belnap's work on indeterminism and free action, three
formal frameworks figure prominently: the simple branching
histories framework known as "branching time;" its relativistic
spatio-temporal extension, branching space-times; and the "seeing
to it that" (stit ) logic of agency. As those frameworks provide
the formal background for the contributed papers, the volume
introduction gives an overview of the current state of their
development. It also introduces case-intensional first order logic
(CIFOL), a general intensional logic offering resources for a
first-order extension of the mentioned frameworks and a recent
research focus of Belnap's. The volume also contains an extended
biographical interview with Nuel Belnap.

Hadron colliders probe physics at new energy frontiers and search
for new particles and forces. In addition, hadron colliders now
provide also an environment for precision physics. The present
volume collects the results from recently completed runs at major
colliders as well as new ideas about collider physics and
techniques. It will serve as the main source of reference in the
field for many years to come.
A battle of wits between the nimblest French thief and the
shrewdest British detective This volume contains two adventures
which pit the gentleman thief Arsene Lupin against Sherlock Holmes,
the world's most famous detective. In 'The Blonde Lady', Holmes
must discover the identity of a mysterious female thief who is
linked to Lupin, while in 'The Jewish Lamp' he finds out that the
theft of a lamp containing a precious jewel conceals an astonishing
secret. While their tone is at times ironic and firmly
tongue-in-cheek, the two stories in Arsene Lupin vs Sherlock Holmes
bear all the hallmarks of classic detective fiction, and will put a
smile on the lips and set the pulses racing of all fans of mystery
and detective fiction.
Expert clinicians and basic scientists with a special interest in
Parkinson's disease review the current state of science and
clinical therapeutics of the disease. Therefore these articles
represent an authorative review of the current state of knowledge
regarding preclinical course and symptomatology, subtypes with
their impact on the pathology, genetic alterations, novel
mechanisms of neuronal cell death, diagnostic tools and old and
novel therapeutic approaches with respect to neuroprotection and
neuroregeneration in Parkinson's disease. Particular emphasis has
been placed on a novel antiparkinsonian drug called budipine with
various modes of action also influencing altered non dopaminergic
systems in Parkinson's disease. It is evident, that many questions
on the cause, course and treatment of Parkinson's disease are still
unanswered and therefore the ideal way to treat a parkinsonian
patient remains to be defined.

Chapters in this ongoing series deal with different approaches for
analyzing the same specimen using more than one imaging technique.
The strengths and application area of each is presented, with this
volume exploring the aspects of sample preparation of diverse
biological systems for different CLEM approaches.
This new volume of Methods in Cell Biology looks at methods for
analyzing correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM). With
CLEM, people try to combine the advantages of both worlds, i.e. the
dynamics information obtained by light microscopy and the
ultrastructure as provided by electron microscopy. This volume
contains the latest techniques on correlative microscopy showing
that combining two imaging modalities provides more than each
technique alone. Most importantly it includes the essential
protocols, including tips, tricks and images for you to repeat
these exciting techniques in your own lab. With cutting-edge
material, this comprehensive collection is intended to guide
researchers for years to come.
The medicalisation of alcohol use has become a prominent discourse
that guides policy makers and impacts public perceptions of alcohol
and drinking. This book maps the historical and cultural dimensions
of the phenomenon. Emphasising medical attitudes and theories
regarding alcohol and the changing perception of alcohol
consumption in psychiatry and mental health, it explores the shift
from the use of alcohol in clinical treatment and as part of
dietary regimens to the emergence of alcoholism as a disease
category that requires medical intervention and is considered a
threat to public health. -- .

Demographic trends put a burden on EU pension provision. As the
sustainability of pension systems is addressed by current pension
reforms, lower benefit levels are projected. In this scenario,
households may want to consider supplementing their public pension
income. As their own residence is on average their most valuable
asset, its transformation to income can be one form of alleviating
financial distress in old age. Thomas Muller presents research
findings on the interdependency of housing and pension wealth as
well as on whether and to what extent housing wealth is decumulated
after retirement. The author emphasizes the consideration of
housing wealth in pension policies to enable European households to
employ its housing asset as an income source in old age.About the
Author Thomas Muller wrote his dissertation at the Real Estate
Management Institute (REMI) at the EBS Business School. His
research was motivated by the effects of demographic changes on
pension provision in the EU. He focused especially on the
allocation and liquidation of private housing wealth as a public
pension supplement.
The MultiGradeMultiLevel-Methodology (MGML) offers students and
teachers a reliable learning framework for both individualized and
community-oriented education. With "ladders of learning" guiding
children through their tasks, MGML allows mixed-age groups to work
together in one classroom (multigrade) at various achievement
levels (multi-level) according to a defined curriculum. MGML allows
teachers to spend less time teaching and more time supporting their
students individually and working with them personally. In this
publication the authors introduce MGML's origin and international
variations localizing them within scientific horizons. As a core
result MGML's significance stretches far beyond individual
processes or single classrooms no matter if the school is in
Germany or in Kenya, if the students are at primary or at
university level. MGML has shown its potential to impact not only
schools and students, but the global community.
