Existing international law is capable to govern the "war on terror" also in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Contrary to the Israeli Supreme Court's view, international humanitarian law is not complemented by human rights law, but human rights law is - to some degree - complemented by international humanitarian law.

This two-volume set focuses on the interface between physiologic mechanisms and diagnostic human engineering. Readers will gain a technical understanding of the underlying concepts necessary to reasonably interpret the corresponding biosignals.

This book offers a quick-start into model-based business process engineering. It details the Horus Method, which can be used with other tools or, if necessary, be used even without tool support.

This richly illustrated book presents the results of calculations of cross sections and probabilities of a broad variety of atomic processes with participation of photons and electrons, namely on photoabsorption, electron scattering and accompanying effects.

This book offers a simple, fully operational introduction to applied general equilibrium as an analytical tool in economics. Coverage includes model design, model development, computer code examples, calibration and data adjustments, practical policy examples.

Offering key insights into managing people working on scientific projects and high-tech enterprises, this practical volume addresses issues unique to these pressurized environments and will be required reading for supervisors and policy makers alike.

This book describes the physics of GaN-based laser diodes, and efforts to achieve longer emission wavelengths and short-pulse emission. New approaches address device properties and optimize the laser diodes toward the requirements of specific applications.

This comprehensive textbook on combinatorial optimization emphasizes theoretical results and algorithms with provably good performance, in contrast to heuristics. The text contains complete but concise proofs, and also provides numerous exercises and references.

This book presents the VAN earthquake prediction method. It details the theoretical model -based on solid state physics aspects- that motivated this research effort and then describes, step by step, all the developments of the VAN method.

The standard analysis of anti-trust legislation ignores numerous inefficiencies. This 'distortion-analysis' approach responds appropriately to second-best theory and uses it to analyze the economic efficiency of business conduct covered by anti-trust law.

Explaining why market definitions are inherently arbitrary, this publication defines 'oligopolistic' and 'predatory' business conduct, analyzes their profitability, and provides a critique of the market-oriented approach used by US and EU law-enforcement.

The fifth edition of Pathology of the Human Placenta will ensure this book remains the authoritative text in the field. This fifth edition reflects new advances in the field and includes 800 illustrations, 173 of them in color.

This is the first book on the U.S. presidential election system to analyze the basic principles underlying the design of the existing system and those at the heart of competing proposals for improving the system.

This concise introduction to the core fundamentals of fluid mechanics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the common approximations for geophysical fluid dynamics presents in addition a comprehensive approach to large-scale ocean circulation theory.

IOLSs enhance traditional online teaching methods by applying artificial intelligence and cognitive science. This book moves from analyzing OLSs and the role of the teacher, to knowledge modeling and ways of transferring competence in the virtual laboratory.

Molecular Virology

This volume outlines how absorption spectroscopy is important to the investigation of deep-level centers introduced in semiconductors and insulators. It also explains how vibrational spectroscopy determines the atomic structure and symmetry of complexes.

This book offers a framework for modeling and solving utility maximization problems in nonconvex wireless systems, presenting a general model for utility optimization in wireless systems, methods for solving problems, and case studies showing the model in use.

In the centre are the connections between particle physics and cosmology: The standard model, some basic implications of quantum field theory and the questions of structure formation.

This comprehensive atlas is unique in being devoted to the MRI appearances of bone marrow in the axial and appendicular skeleton of adults and children. MRI appearances in the entire spectrum of neoplastic and non-neoplastic infiltrative marrow disorders are then presented, with accompanying explanatory text.

This volume provides an account of the biology, behaviour and sophisticated sensory capacities of bony fish that generate electric fields. The phylogenetic relationships of the fish taxa involved are discussed as well as the physiology and anatomy of the electrosensory-motor system.

Petrogenesis of Metamorphic Rocks illustrates stability relations in minerals with a variety of diagrams. The text discusses the most common metamorphic rock types, their nomenclature, structure and presents a graphical representation of their mineral assemblages.

This book gives a comprehensive overview on Software Product Management (SPM) for beginners as well as best practices, methodology and in-depth discussions for experienced product managers.

This book proposes methodological cognitivism as an alternative to the holistic character of structuralism, to the intentionalist and rationalist features of methodological individualism, and to the relativistic character of hermeneutics and ethnomethodology.

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), one of the three financial mechanisms under the Kyoto Protocol open to developing and developed countries, was devised to assist in mitigation of global warming.

Dijet Angular Distributions in Proton-Proton Collisions is based on the first data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The volume is based on a classical Rutherford scattering experiment adapted to the LHC, presenting the measurement of scattering angles to search for new physics and substructure.

This review of the chemistry and biology of stable lipoxin analogues describes for the first time the synthesis of an enantiomerically pure form of pyridine-containing LXA4, as well as a route to synthesizing a thiophene-containing LXA4 analogue.

This thesis describes one of the first measurements at the CERN LHC -- the world's largest and highest-energy particle collider. The CMS collision data is analyzed, and results in the first measurement of the inclusive b cross section using semileptonic decays at a center of mass energy of 7 TeV.
