Internationale Fachkommunikation verläuft zunehmend auf Englisch. Das erfordert von Nichtmuttersprachlern anwendungsbereite fachbezogene Fremdsprachenkenntnisse und Sprachfertigkeiten auf hohem Niveau. Die Autoren dieses Bandes diskutieren in 13 deutsch- und englischsprachigen Beiträgen bewährte Ausbildungsmodelle für Fachenglisch an Hochschulen mit einem Fokus auf Mechatronik, Bauingenieurwesen, Immobilienmanagement, Informatik, Physikalischer Technik, Wirtschaft, Maschinenbau, Automobilbau und Maritime English. Darüber hinaus werden Aspekte der Fertigkeitsentwicklung, der Entwicklung von Lernprogrammen, Prüfungsverfahren und e-Learning angesprochen. Kurzum – ein facettenreicher Band von Praktikern für Praktiker.
Explores the nature, the meaning, and the very history of the idea of beauty in Western culture; illustrated with abundant examples of painting and sculpture and lengthy quotations from writers and philosophers. Demonstrates how every historical era has had its own ideas about eye-appeal.
This open access book examines more than two centuries of societal development using novel historical and statistical approaches. It applies the well-being monitor developed by Statistics Netherlands that has been endorsed by a significant part of the international, statistical community. It features The Netherlands as a case study, which is an especially interesting example; although it was one of the world’s richest countries around 1850, extreme poverty and inequality were significant problems of well-being at the time. Monitors of 1850, 1910, 1970 and 2015 depict the changes in three dimensions of well-being: the quality of life 'here and now', 'later' and 'elsewhere'. The analysis of ...
Shallow lakes differ from deep ones in many aspects of nutrient dynamics, biotic structure and interactions of various trophic levels. Though very common in European lowlands, shallow lakes attract inadequate attention from research teams. This book aims at filling gaps in our knowledge of the processes which take place in non-stratified lakes. It contains proceedings from the international conference `Shallow Lakes *95' held in Mikolajki, Poland, on 20-26 August 1995. In more than 50 original papers up-to-date views on eutrophication, degradation and recovery of shallow lakes are presented. The first four sections of the book (Nutrient fluxes, Biotic structure, Trophic interactions and Whole lake studies) deal with theoretical aspects of lake functioning while the fifth (Biomanipulation, restoration and management) is devoted to practical measures undertaken to improve water quality in shallow lakes. The book is therefore addressed to university biologists and ecologists and PhD students, as well as to managers involved in restoration of shallow lakes.
