  • Time and Human Cognition

    A Life-Span Perspective
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 59
    • I. Levin + 1 more
    • English
    Each chapter in this book is written by, and devoted to the original work of a leading researcher in his or her own field. The book presents an integrative approach to the psychological study of time in an attempt to bring to light similarities between bodies of research which have been developed independently within different theoretical frameworks - from Piaget's structuralist-organi... model, to information processing approaches. The chapters are organized in a life-span perspective, with different chapters focusing on different age-levels. It includes analyses of time perception in infancy, temporal systems in the developing language, time conception, time measurement and time reading in middle childhood and adolescence, as well as various models of time perception in the adult, both normal and abnormal.A rich concept such as time sheds light on a wide variety of major topics in psychology; the book will be of value to cognitive, developmental and educational psychologists, as well as to psycholinguists.

  • Topics in Field Theory

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 155
    • G. Karpilovsky
    • English
    This monograph gives a systematic account of certain important topics pertaining to field theory, including the central ideas, basic results and fundamental methods.Avoiding excessive technical detail, the book is intended for the student who has completed the equivalent of a standard first-year graduate algebra course. Thus it is assumed that the reader is familiar with basic ring-theoretic and group-theoretic concepts. A chapter on algebraic preliminaries is included, as well as a fairly large bibliography of works which are either directly relevant to the text or offer supplementary material of interest.

  • Photon, Beam and Plasma Assisted Processing

    • English
    This symposium attracted 82 papers which were presented orally or as posters. Fourteen invited speakers presented state of the art reviews and aspects of future key topics in this increasingly important area of materials science. The high level of scientific presentation during the conference enhanced the aim of the symposium, which was to stimulate discussion amongst materials scientists, chemists, engineers and physicists with a common interest in this field and to disseminate knowledge of progress.

  • Logic-Based Decision Support

    Mixed Integer Model Formulation
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 40
    • R.G. Jeroslow
    • English
    This monograph is based on a series of lectures given by the author at the first Advanced Research Institute on Discrete Applied Mathematics, held at Rutgers University. It emphasizes connections between the representational aspects of mixed integer programming and applied logic, as well as discussing logic-based approaches to decision support which help to create more `intelligent' systems. Dividing naturally into two parts, the first four chapters are an overview of mixed-integer programming representability techniques. This is followed by five chapters on applied logic, expert systems, logic and databases, and complexity theory. It concludes with a summary of open research issues and an attempt to extrapolate trends in this rapidly developing area.

    • English
    Deep implants are produced by the high-energy implantation of impurities in a host material. The thus created subsurface layers have properties that are different from the very surface and the bulk and show great promise for application in the electronics industry.
