How are curriculum policies translated into opportunities to learn in the classroom?According to the Book presents findings from the largest cross-national study of textbooks carried out to date - the curriculum analysis of the 1995 Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS).

Bilevel programming problems are hierarchical optimization problems where the constraints of one problem (the so-called upper level problem) are defined in part by a second parametric optimization problem (the lower level problem).

The far side of the Moon was unknown to humanity until the Luna and Lunar Orbiter pictures were returned to Earth. This wonderful book contains beautiful photographs and newly-assembled mosaic images of the far side of the Moon, cleaned up by today's computer technology.

Unlike the many other textbooks on the topic of linear algebra, this book includes mathematical and computational chapters along with examples and exercises with Matlab. The authors use both Matlab and SciLab software as well as covering core standard material.

This book introduces the general theory of relativity, includes applications to cosmology, and provides a thorough introduction to tensor calculus and curved manifolds. Also included are some advanced topics not previously covered by textbooks, including Kaluza-Klein theory, Israel's formalism and branes.

Clinical Neuroanatomy offers an extensive review of higher cortical - behavioral functions and their anatomical substrates. The central chapters offer detailed, integrated, and, at times, theoretical models of cortical systems and their internal organization. 300 illustrations help identify key structures and pathways.

Focusing on PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and chronic pain (and grounding readers in salient US and Canadian case law), this title sets out a multifactorial causality framework to facilitate admissibility of psychological evidence in court. It also examines issues concerning malingering, as are clinical gray areas that can jeopardize validity.

This volume is unique in providing a comprehensive discussion of moral education in the light of a range of ethical theories. In a balanced, thoughtful and penetrating account, the author addresses important contemporary issues and controversies (morality and citizenship, family values, sexual morality).

Offers both clinicians and researchers guidance on hazard preparation efforts as well as early response and intervention practices. This title emphasizes an evidence- and prevention-based approach that is geared toward readiness, response, and recovery phases of natural and human-made disasters.

Dynamic Assessment (DA) reconceptualizes classroom interactions by arguing that teaching and assessment should not be distinct undertakings. This book offers a much-needed coherent framework for co-constructing a ZPD with learners in order to simultaneously reveal the full range of their abilities and promote development.

Illustrated in color, this book lays the foundation of practical pathology and provides a scaffold on which to build a knowledge base. Written for the pathologist-in-training, it includes basic introductory material and progresses through each organ system.

Youth violence and aggression continue to give concern throughout society. This book bridges the gap between science and practice, providing school professionals with the information they need to coordinate efforts and enhance communication between parents, other educators, administrators, and social services providers.

This book traces the first 100 years of Golgi apparatus (GA) discovery from the first published accounts from Pavia, Italy, in 1898. It summarizes the past 50 years leading up to the present era with almost exclusive focus on molecular biology.

Optical Micro-Resonators are an exciting new field of research that has gained prominence in the past few years due to the emergence of new fabrication technologies.

Judith Clifton, Francisco Comin and Daniel Diaz Fuentes in Privatisation in the European Union reject the two dominant explanations provided in literature, which include a simple 'Americanisation' of policy and a 'varied' privatisation experience without a common driving force.

This book provides an in-depth treatment of the physics of operation of power semiconductor devices that are commonly used by the power electronics industry. Analytical models for explaining the operation of all power semiconductor devices are shown.

The theory of inequalities has applications in virtually every branch of mathematics. This revised and expanded edition of a classic work on inequalities will be of interest to statisticians, probabilists, and mathematicians.

This book is the first regular space exploration annual. It provides an annual update on recent space launches, missions and results, to be published every year in September. It is written at an accessible level for both young and older space enthusiasts.

Presents information on the use of several algebraic techniques in analyzing the AES. This book is useful for academic and industry researchers in cryptology as well as for advanced-level students.

This volume provides a highly integrated view of attention-related events, taking the reader from individual molecular interactions through the regulation of neuronal circuits to our higher order capacity for selective amplification of particular information.

This book shows how the application of fuzzy logic can benefit management, group decision making, strategic planning, supply chain management and other business imperatives.

The first elementary exposition of core ideas of complexity theory for convex optimization, this book explores optimal methods and lower complexity bounds for smooth and non-smooth convex optimization. Also covers polynomial-time interior-point methods.

The earlier work, which suggested that electrophysiological responses can be used to predict long-term developmental outcomes, is supported in the present report on the relationship between auditory evoked responses in infancy and later levels of language development.

Finance is a coherent branch of applied economics that is designed to understand financial markets in order to give advice for practical financial decisions.

Why do some school students struggle at numeracy? Here, the authors tackle this question in an original way, by focusing on numeracy as social practice. They report their findings using ethnographic-style approaches including formal and informal interviews.
