This text contains a translation and interpretation of Emmanuel Levinas' philosophy, deemed to be one of the most original of modern times, opening other perspectives of understanding and application.

The book provides an in-depth description of cross-border project financing as a technique for financing capital-intensive projects, as well as an overview of certain financing and derivative instruments currently available in the global financial markets.

The model system of eyeblink classical conditioning in humans has enormous potential for the understanding and application of fundamental principles of learning.

Countless ants transport and deposit seeds and thereby influence the survival, death, and evolution of many plant species. The book gives readers a panoramic view of the hidden, poorly-known interrelations not only between pairs of ants and plant species, but also between species communities in the ecosystem.

The author of this book draws attention to these, and presents his alternative hypothesis that larvae have been transferred from one taxon to another. In his previous book (Larvae and Evolution, 1992), the author used larval transfer to explain developmental anomalies in eight animal phyla.

Analog Filters, Second Edition covers four major fundamental types of analog filters - passive, op amp-RC, switched-capacitor, and operational transconductance amplifier-capacitor (OTA-C).

Agricultural biotechnology refers to a diverse set of industrial techniques used to produce genetically modified foods. Billions of dollars of public and private monies are being invested annually in biotech research, and commercial sales now reach into the tens of billions of dollars each year.

The need for a second edition of Cardiovascular Physiology in the Genetically Engineered Mouse is underscored not only by these rapid advances, but by the increasing numbers of scientists who have focussed their research on genetically engineered mice.

The volume presents a broad spectrum of papers presented at the Workshop, and thus illustrates the range of current research related to the theory, methods and applications of HRQoL, as well as the interdisciplinary nature ofthis work.

I personally learned to know Ralph Tyler rather late in his career when, in the 1960s, I spent a year as a Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford.

It will appeal to clinicians, nurses, health services researchers, health economists, those responsible for audit and quality assurance, public health specialists and managers in health care institutions, and the pharmaceutical industry.

This study concerns a problem which is found in all Jacques Derrida's work, and explains his philosophical thought: a confrontation with the ideas of Husserl and Heidegger. The author traces the reasons behind Derrida's fundamental disagreement with both philosophers.

Der vorliegende Band enthält den Text der vierstündigen Vorlesung, die Husserl im Wintersemester 1908/09 unter dem Titel "Alte und neue Logik" in Göttingen gehalten hat. Es handelt sich bei dieser Vorlesung zum einen um eine Umarbeitung und Neugestaltung seiner Logikvorlesung von 1902/03, die im Band 2 der Materialien veröffentlicht wurde, zum anderen um eine Vorstufe der in Band XXX der Gesammelten Werke unter dem späteren Titel "Logik und Allgemeine Wissenschaftslehre" veröffentlichten Vorlesung "Einleitung in die Logik und Erkenntnistheorie" von 1910/11.

Die Konstitution von Natur und Geist und die Klarung ihres Verhaltnisses zueinander als Seins- und als Wissenschaftsregionen bildet eines der Hauptthemen von Husserls Philosophie.

With this basic understanding, circuit board designers can make trade-off decisions during the design phase to ensure optimum EMC design. Most are general books on EMC and do not focus on printed circuit board is intended to help EMC engineers and design design.

Veröffentlicht wird in dem vorliegenden Husserliana-Band die letzte Textfassung einer Vorlesung, die Husserl erstmals im Wintersemester 1910/11 unter dem Titel `Logik als Theorie der Erkenntnis' gehalten hat. Aufbauend auf dem in seinen Vorlesungen `Einleitung in die Logik und Erkenntnistheorie' von 1906/07 (Husserliana XXIV) und `Grundprobleme der Ethik' (Husserliana XXVIII) Erarbeiteten, entfaltet Husserl in der hier veröffentlichten Vorlesung von 1910/11 die allgemeine Idee der Wissenschaftstheorie systematisch auf der Grundlage der Bestimmung der obersten Seinsregionen.

This second volume of papers dealing with scientific and ethical aspects of animal welfare covers a variety of topics and areas of inves­ tigation. It will be of particular interest to those readers seeking more insight into such subjects as farm animal welfare and humane husbandry systems; animal experimentation, especially in the field of psychology; and pain in animals, notably its recognition and alleviation. Several of our selections deal with very specific subjects that are germane to animal welfare: the use of T-61 for euthanizing cats and dogs, a new humane method of stunning for livestock and poultry, an innovative alternative to killing animals for rabies diagnosis, alterna­ tives to aversive procedures in teaching experimental psychology, and the need for improved theoretical modeling in animal experimentation and research design. Following the precedent set in the first volume of Advances in Animal Welfare Science, we have included several papers dealing with people's attitudes toward animals. These papers range from a consider­ ation of cultural influences and veterinary ethics to an examination of anthropomorphism, to a discussion of the linkage between the environ­ mental politics and perceptions of the Green Movement and animal welfare and rights. We wish to express our gratitude to the Manuscript Review Commit­ tee for the excellent work they have done and to the twenty contributors to this volume which we believe will do much to advance the science of animal welfare, and the well-being of animals under man's dominion.

This book developed from a course on finite fields I gave at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the Spring semester of 1979. The theory of finite fields is the mathematical foundation of algebraic coding theory, but in coding theory courses there is never much time to give more than a "Volkswagen" treatment of them.

The analysis and modification of glycans of recombinant proteins is an active area of research. This book is intended for research students and senior scientists in cell culture and glycobiology, as well as for industrial biotechnologists and biochemical engineers interested in the production of therapeutic glycoproteins.

Ce livre étudie la refonte husserlienne de l'esthétique transcendantale kantienne, pour mettre en évidence sa fonction fondatrice dans l'idéalisme phénoménologique et interroger sa légitimité. On part donc des points essentiels de la critique husserlienne de Kant (refus du renversement copernicien, du caractère originaire des intuitions pures et de toute idéalisation des structures perceptives), pour dégager à partir d'eux les axes de la méthode husserlienne: dégager les intuitions pures depuis leur connexion essentielle avec les qualités sensibles, retracer leur engendrement synthétique par les actes de la conscience, et séparer l'espace perceptif des espaces catégoriaux pour reconduire ces derniers à leur mode propre de production. Husserl parvient-il, dans cette esthétique transcendantale progressant de bas en haut de la hylè sensible aux objets complexes, à éviter toute présupposition et à rester fidèle à son exigence d'intuitivité? Il semble au contraire que la méthode husserlienne repose sur nombre d'actes abstractifs et idéalisants. Par là, c'est la possibilité d'une philosophie purement descriptive qui est mise en question.

This book presents perspectives on the changes that have taken place within the field of comparative education, while noting various continuing traditions.

Der vorliegende Band vereinigt Husserls letzte Nachlaßmanuskripte, die im Zusammenhang mit der Arbeit an der Krisis-Abhandlung in den Jahren 1934 bis 1937 verfaßt wurden. Mit dieser werkgeschichtlichen Edition wird ein Ergänzungsband zu Husserls letztem Werk, Die Krisis der europäischen Wissenschaften und die transzendentale Phänomenologie, publiziert in Husserliana VI, vorgelegt. Husserls Arbeitsplan für die Krisis-Abhandlung wurde rekonstruiert und in der `Einleitung des Herausgebers' dargestellt. Die Texte erschließen mit anderen in den Husserliana publizierten Manuskripten Husserls Weg zur Krisis-Abhandlung und deren Fortsetzung. Die Prager Vorträge: Husserls letztes Auftreten vor der philosophischen Öffentlichkeit (1935), seine Stellungnahme zur publizierten Krisis-Abhandlung: das Handexemplar von 1937 und Husserls letztes philosophisches Manuskript (1937) werden veröffentlicht. In systematischer und wirkungsgeschichtlicher Hinsicht stehen die transzendentalphänomenologische Begründung der Geschichte und die Lebensweltthematik im Mittelpunkt. Die erstmals veröffentlichten Texte stellen Husserls philosophisches Testament dar.

Our series Cancer Prevention - Cancer Control continues to address the causes and prevention of cancer.

During the past few decades, the interest of economists in the sources of long-term economic growth has led an increasing number of them to focus on the role of innovation in creating that growth.

Risk behaviour and risk management in business life influence a wide range of fields in which only a very limited amount of research has been undertaken.

A new attitude to applied logic has evolved, where researchers tailor a logic for their own use in the same way they define a computer language, and where auto mated deduction for the logic and its fragments is as important as the logic itself.
