Overview: practice-related description of the ultrafast MRI technique - organ-related structuring - increasing use of this method in radiological diagnostics - existing gadgetThe imaging potential of the MR experiment continues to evolve. In recent years, an increasing number of fast and ultrafast imaging strategies has been described. In this evolu- tion the definition of the terms fast and ultrafast has been blurred. Hence they are frequently used interchangeably. The evolution of these methods has been based on two related, yet separate developments: an increasingly thorough understand- ing

Overview: Problems are organized into competency (C), difficult (D) and more difficult (H) problems..The idea is that students should be able to do all the C problems for a pass in this course..The book is concThis book presents an introduction to viscoelasticity; in particular, to the the- ories of dilute polymer solutions and melts, and dilute suspensions of rigid particles in viscous and incompressible fluids. These theories are important, not just because they apply to practical problems of industrial interest, but because they form a solid theoretical base upon which mathematical tech- ni

Overview: This is the fourth volume of Ultrasound in Medicine, the Proceedings of the Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine. Unless the Executive Board of the Institute change their mind, it may also be the last. Under these circumstances it is somewhat ironical that some of the deficiencies present in previous volumes appear to have been solved in the present volume. Notably, the Programme Committee, for the first time, exercised a stringent selection procedure by means of which the number of papers selected for presentation was limited with the result

Overview: Wissenschaftlich-technische StudiePeter Tr?ger nimmt eine umfassende Einordnung und Bewertung von Methoden vor, mit denen sich nicht-funktionale Eigenschaften wie Zuverl?ssigkeit, Verfügbarkeit und Sicherheit modellieren und analysieren lassen. Er diskutiert dabei die Frage, ob und wie die Unvollkommenheit von Ausgangsinformationen berücksichtigt werden kann. Dafür werden die Teilprobleme Unsicherheit und Uneindeutigkeit im Kontext von Informationstechnologien genauer besprochen. Der Autor zeigt, dass die meisten etablierten Ans?tze diese beiden Probleme nur teilweise berücksichtigen

Overview: Incorporates massive restructuring of urban spaces with the intention of ameliorating negativities arising out of the colonial and apartheid governments.Presents timely topic as rising inequality and .This book’s point of departure rests on the premises that dimensions of the mainstream inclusive city discourse fail to capture in detail vulnerable clusters of society (being women, children, and the aging), the minority clusters (i.e., the blind, the disabled), and migrants. In addition, it fails to recognize the increase of spatial inequality driven by racial and class differences—a

Overview: Aus dem allgemeinen Verlauf der Massendefektkurve wurde schon sehr früh darauf geschlossen, da? ein IX-Zerfall bereits bei Kernen mit einer Massenzahl A> 140 energetisch m?glich sein müsse. Allerdings sollten im Bereich der Seltenen Erden bis Wismut die Zerfallsenergien im Mittel nur etwa 2 MeV be- tragen. Nach der Gamow-Formel, die einen Zusammenhang zwischen der Zer- fallskonstanten, der Energie des ausgesandten IX-Teilchens, der Ordnungszahl Z des Mutterkernes und dessen Radius gibt, errechnen sich Halbwertzeiten von 17 10 und mehr Jahren. Diese geringen Zerfallsraten blieben aber

Overview: It is a truism that, with only a few notable exceptions, western scholars only belatedly turned their attention to the phenomenon of minority nationalism in the USSR. In the last two decades, however, the topic has increasingly occupied the attention of specialists on the Soviet Union, not only because its depths and implications have not yet been adequately plumbed, but also because it is clearly a potentially explosive problem for the Soviet system itself. The problem that minority nationalism poses is perceived rather differently at the "top" of Soviet society than at the "bottom.

Overview: This volume undertakes a fundamental reassessment of utopianism during the modernist period.

Overview: Publication in the field of economic sciencesWith a series of experiments,Lena Himbert highlights theinfluence of the unit price’s unit of measure on the consumer’s price-levelperception and quality perception. Furthermore, this thesis shows that the unitprice availability and prominence influences the consumer’s store price image. Whenshopping for pre-packaged products, consumers are offered a variety of productand price information at the point of purchase. The unit price represents priceinformation given to the consumer for which the factor package size is removedand thereby lower
