Pattern Recognition
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 26th Symposium of the German Association for Pattern Recognition, DAGM 2004, held in Tbingen, Germany in August/September 2004. The 22 revised papers and 48 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 146 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on learning, Bayesian approaches, vision and faces, vision and motion, biologically motivated approaches, segmentation, object recognition, and object recognition and synthesis.
Analysing Historical Narratives
For all of the recent debates over the methods and theoretical underpinnings of the historical profession, scholars and laypeople alike still frequently think of history in terms of storytelling. Accordingly, historians and theorists have devoted much attention to how historical narratives work, illuminating the ways they can bind together events, shape an argument and lend support to ideology. From ancient Greece to modern-day bestsellers, the studies gathered here offer a wide-ranging analysis of the textual strategies used by historians. They show how in spite of the pursuit of truth and objectivity, the ways in which historians tell their stories are inevitably conditioned by their discursive contexts.
The Oxford Encyclopedia of Medieval Warfare and Military Technology
This set is an excellent companion to J. R. Strayer's edited Dictionary of the Middle Ages (CH, Nov'87; Supplement I, ed. by W. C. Jordan, CH, Sep'04, 42-0044). The focus on warfare allows the editors to offer larger entries on major topics (e.g., "Agincourt," "Crusades," "Feudalism") and introduce many complementary topics. The editors are concerned with Europe; they expand coverage into Asia or Africa only because of the connection to medieval Europe. Coverage also includes an abundance of entries pertaining to Central and Eastern Europe. Most of the 1,000-plus entries are about a page in length, but a few approach 50 pages. Medium and large-size entries, such as "Chivalry," "Germany," and...

The Well-Cemented Total Hip Arthroplasty
Cemented Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) remains one of the most successful procedures in Orthopaedic surgery. It has become very clear that it is the surgical expertise, in particular the quality of the cementing technique, which will affect long-term outcome and success. It is the intention of this book to provide an up-to-date comprehensive assessment of the entire field of cemented THA. Special emphasis has been given to practice-relevant aspects: well-illustrated and detailed operative steps as a practical guideline, a basic science chapter and long-term outcome data are provided. Minimally invasive surgery, modern perioperative management and patient fast tracking are covered. A number of highly respected experts have contributed to this in-depth compilation of the "state of the art" in 2005. This book is written and intended for both, trainees and established arthroplasty surgeons who are dedicated to perform a well-cemented THA.
Infected Total Joint Arthroplasty
There are a variety of protocols that are used in infected total joint arthroplasty. This book outlines and details the best possible course of treatment and formulate custom algorithms for every possible case, based on current evidence. It reviews current concepts and “recipes” for the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures (surgical and antibiotic) based on the type of implant, infection and the patient. This book is an essential resource on infected total joint arthroplasty, containing a series of logical and highly detailed instructions that will serve to educate orthopedic surgeons operating in this field on the best approaches, according to detailed and careful research conducted over the last decade.
Roma Victa
The history of the Roman Republic was a military success story. Texts, monuments and rituals commemorated Rome's victories, and this emphasis on its own triumphs formed a basis for the Roman nobility's claim to leadership. However, the Romans also suffered numerous heavy defeats during the Republic. This study is the first to comprehensively examine how Rome's defeats at the hands of the Celts, Samnites, and Carthaginians were explained and interpreted in the historical culture of the Republic and early imperial period. What emerges is a specifically Roman culture of dealing with defeats, which helped the Romans to find meaning in the stories of their failures and to assign them a place in their own past.
Dynamic Perception
This volume contains the proceedings of the 5th workshop on 'Dynamic Perception' which was held on November 18 - 19, 2004, at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen. As in the previ-ous meetings, the conference is characterised by its high degree of in-terdisciplinarity. The presentations cover the fields of computer science, psychology, neuroscience as well as biology. The common denominator of all contributions consists in the observation that the sensory systems of man, animals and robots have to solve similar tasks such as goal-directed behaviour, orientation within a 3D world or object identification, to name just a few.
Geschichte wird von den Besiegten geschrieben
Nach einem geflügelten Wort wird die »Geschichte von den Siegern geschrieben«. Demgegenüber steht die These Reinhart Kosellecks, dass Niederlagen und ihre Verarbeitung die Entstehung von Erklärungs- und Kompensationsmustern bedingen: Die Erfahrung des Besiegtwerdens könne einen »Erfahrungsgewinn« ermöglichen; Sieger hingegen müssten ihre Denkmodelle nicht hinterfragen, da sie gerade durch kurzfristige Erfolge bestätigt wurden. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes untersuchen ein breites Spektrum an Formen des Umgangs mit militärischen Niederlagen in Antike und Mittelalter und stellen damit Kosellecks These erstmals großflächig auf die Probe.
