Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -John Erpenbeck und Werner Sauter erklären, warum Wissen und Qualifikation keine Kompetenzen sind. Diese Kriterien stellen vielmehr die Fähigkeit dar, Problemstellungen in der Praxis selbstorganisiert zu lösen und auf dieser Basis effektiv zu handeln. Die Autoren beschreiben einen praxiserprobten Kreislauf des Lernens, der die Verinnerlichung (Interiorisation) von Werten und damit Kompetenzentwicklung im Rahmen von Praxisprojekten und im Prozess der Arbeit sowie im Internet ermöglicht. Die Gestaltung dieses Lernrahmens orientiert sich dabei konsequent an den Entwicklungen im Web 2.0 und in der Arbeitswelt. 48 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ausgehend von der öffentlichen Diskussion um die ichbezogene Generation und die individuellen und gesellschaftlichen Konsequenzen analysiert Heidi Keller das frühe Erziehungs- und Sozialisationsumfeld von Kindern. Vom ersten Tag an orientiert sich elterliches Verhalten an psychologischer Autonomie. Die Einzigartigkeit, Individualität und insbesondere die innere Welt der Wünsche, Bedürfnisse und Vorlieben stehen zu Hause wie auch in der Kita im Mittelpunkt. Westliche Mittelschichtkinder wachsen daher in einem konsistenten Sozialisationsmilieu auf. Bisher wenig beachtete Konsequenzen dieser Erziehung werden anhand von Beispielen aufgezeigt, wie etwa dem Trotzverhalten, der Abhängigkeit von der ungeteilten Aufmerksamkeit der Eltern und der Verminderung sozialer Kompetenzen. 52 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The overall structure of this new edition is three-tier: Part I presents the basics, Part II is concerned with methodological issues, and Part III discusses advanced topics.

Neuware -Richard Moser shows how to use and upgrade toy bricks for the construction of a lightweight, low-cost and easy to reproduce tensile testing setup. Tailored for the characterization of elastomers and stretchable electrodes, the setup is capable of performing stress-strain studies along with resistance-strain measurements. Based on the underlying theory of material deformation and rubber elasticity, the author applies the setup to mechanically characterize polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with different grades of stiffness. The versatility of the device is highlighted with the electromechanical characterization of stretchable thin film metal electrodes on PDMS. Applications of the author¿s setup range from using it as an educational tool in practical physics and engineering courses over being showcase in scientific exhibitions to its utilization as an inexpensive and reliable laboratory tool.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 176 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This book focuses on analysis and design problems for high-order linear time-invariant (LTI) swarm systems (multi-agent systems) to achieve consensus, formation, containment and formation-containment. As a first step, the concepts of practical consensus and formation-containment are introduced. Unlike previous research, the formation in this book can be time-varying. A general framework for consensus, consensus tracking, formation, containment and state formation-containment is presented for the first time.Sufficient/necessary and sufficient conditions, and approaches to designing the protocols for swarm systems to achieve these control objectives, are respectively proposed. Autonomous time-varying formation experiments using five quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are conducted in an outdoor setting to demonstrate the theoretical results.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 192 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Chaos and nonlinear dynamics initially developed as a new emergent field with its foundation in physics and applied mathematics. The highly generic, interdisciplinary quality of the insights gained in the last few decades has spawned myriad applications in almost all branches of science and technology¿and even well beyond. Wherever quantitative modeling and analysis of complex, nonlinear phenomena is required, chaos theory and its methods can play a key role.This third volume concentrates on reviewing further relevant contemporary applications of chaotic nonlinear systems as they apply to the various cutting-edge branches of engineering. This encompasses, but is not limited to, topics such fluctuation relations and chaotic dynamics in physics, fractals and their applications in epileptic seizures, as well as chaos synchronization.Featuring contributions from active and leading research groups, this collection is ideal both as a reference and as a ¿recipe book¿ full of tried and tested, successful engineering applications.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 308 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Spätestens seit Zygmunt Baumans The Art of Life ist die These in der Welt, dass das Leben des Menschen in der flüchtigen Moderne unvermeidlich ein Werk der Kunst ist. Bauman erklärt uns alle, wenn nicht zu Künstlern, so doch zu Lebenskünstlern, deren Existenz sich dem von Ambivalenzen gekennzeichneten Leben des Künstlers annähert. Welche Ambivalenzen aber sind es, die den Lebenskünstler kennzeichnen und ihn in Einklang mit den Konditionen der flüchtigen Moderne versetzen Um eine Antwort zu finden, richtet die Studie ihren Blick auf die aus dem Kunstleben des 19. Jahrhunderts geborene Bohème und entfaltet die These, dass die Lebensform der Bohème insofern als prototypisch gelten kann, als sie die Widersprüche der Moderne in einer Weise gelebt und kultiviert hat, die sie vom Rand der Gesellschaft und ihrer Theorie in die Mitte rückte.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 312 pp. Deutsch.
