A quantitative study of the impacts on library budgets, expenditures on books vs serials, and overall collection development of different types of libraries, resulting from publishers' practice of marketing "the big deal", i.e. the bundling of journals and e-journals in…

This paper focuses on prediction and prevention of seismic risk through a system for decision making.
Data Warehousing and OLAP operations are applied, together with, data mining tools like association rules, decision trees and clustering to predict aspects such as…

Four questions dominate normative contemporary constitutional theroy: What is the purpose of a constitution? What makes a constitution legitimate? What kinds of arguments are legitimate within the process of constitutional interpretation? What can make judicial review of legislation legitimate in…

Proposes some fundamental differences in assumptions between old and new paradigms and argues that the preoccupation with growth
characteristic of a materialist view is what has
brought about our current crisis.

Recording noise gratings with single-beam exposures in bleached silver halide emulsions is used as a holographic spectroscopy technique in order to analyse and optimize photochemical processing. In particular, rehalogenating type bleachings are analysed by measuring the transmittance through the recorded…

Realistic mathematical models are of great importance for studying the optical performance of the human eye. Light propagation algorithms provide robust methods to calculate field distributions inside a homogeneous medium, and thus they can be applied to the study of…

Background: Education is a basic prerequisite for d/Deaf people’s health. Deaf education varies considerably from country to country and we still know very little about the reasons for such variation. Objective: To identify international megatrends that influence the current Deaf…

The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of Body Percussion from all areas, focusing on existing academic literature and the contribution of different authors. Existing ethnographic publications are reviewed, as are the links with traditional dances,…

We propose a two step method which enables us to obtain transmission Holographic Optical Elements of high diffraction efficiency as well as a good signal-to-noise relation. By means of a device using partially coherent light, a master Holographic Optical Element…
