Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, this book questions the category 'woman' and continues in this vein with examinations of 'the masculine' and 'the feminine'. It considers gender as a reiterated social "performance" rather than the expression of a prior reality.

This book provides a rigorous treatment of the coupling of chemical reactions and fluid flow. Combustion-specific topics of chemistry and fluid mechanics are considered and tools described for the simulation of combustion processes.

This book, first published in 1998, challenges the current implicit models used in alcohol problem prevention and demonstrates an ecological perspective of the community as a complex adaptive system, an appreciation and understanding of which offers an alternative approach to the prevention of alcohol dependence and alcohol-related problems.

Presents fundamental thinking about business organization and explores factors which impact the viability and growth of business enterprises. This book considers, in particular, the role of entrepreneurship, organizational learning, and business strategy - including licensing strategy.

Presents the art of advanced MOSFET modeling for integrated circuit simulation and design. This book provides the essential mathematical and physical analyses of the electrical, mechanical and thermal effects in MOS transistors relevant to the operation of integrated circuits.

Alongside China's vast material development, there came a change of its mental habits, largely affected by the technological revolution in the means of mass communication. This book shows how such a change has brought - and yet been brought by - a new form of pictorial thought, essentially sensuous and imagery, which is suggesting a possible future for the world. Today's China is different from what it used to be; the Maoist years appear, even to the official mind, an absurdity; and this difference is evident in the replacement of the Maoist mass-politics by what should be called "Moral politics", which is petty and personal. It is the moralizing practice that characterizes today's China, when the birth of so-called "ordinary people", taken as a collection of individual authors of their own private lives and personal stories, became an acknowledged social fact, proliferating in all kinds of mass media. This study traces the birth of "ordinary people" to the beginning of the century, when the reformation of the political in terms of personal dilemmas or moral groans began. From the beginning of this century, the moral content of Chinese politics is more and more fulfilled by such as problems of marriage or sexual affairs. In other words, this is participant observation of an affective change in the Chinese mind, where and when sociology became photographic, i.e. the photographer a natural sociologist, and the mold of Facebook or Wechat communication has reshaped the ideographic tradition of its writing system. This is yet another "Cultural Revolution" on the ruins of the Maoist revolution.

Mathematica ist momentan das wichtigste Programmpaket, um mathematische Berechnungen exakt (und nicht numerisch) auf einem Computer auszuführen. Das Buch bietet eine vollständige Beschreibung aller Befehle und Datentypen, sowohl nach Funktionsgruppen als auch alphabetisch geordnet.

Contains numerous results in 1-dimensional cellular automata. This title states that only 82 local rules, out of 256, suffice to predict the time evolution of any of the remaining 174 local rules from an arbitrary initial bit-string configuration.

Covers micromechanics and its applications in nano-mechanics, nano-composites, dislocation and thin film theories, and configurational mechanics theory. This book compiles developments in dislocation dynamics, numerical simulations of material failure and homogenization theory.
