"What is time? Is there a link between objective knowledge about time and subjective experience of time? And what is eternity? Does religion have the answer? Does science? Antje Jackelén investigates the problem and concept of time. Her analysis of the subject includes: The notion of time and eternity as it is narrated through Christian hymn books stemming from Germany, Sweden, and the English-speaking world, with insights into changes of the concept and understanding of time in Christian spirituality over the past few decades; Theological approaches to time and eternity, as well as a look at Trinitarian theology and its relation to time; The discussion of scientific theories of time, including Newtonian, relativistic, quantum, and chaos theories; The formulation of a "theology of time," a theological-mathematical model incorporating relational thinking oriented towards the future, the doctrine of trinity, and the notion of eschatology"--Descripción del editor.
The ESPRIT project SACODY, carried out between 1987 and 1991, has comprehensively studied the problems linked with the control of lightweight robots. It has succeeded in demonstrating how the implementation of computeraided testing and dynamic modelling techniques enables the improvement of the accuracy of industrial robots while increasing their operational speed. Starting from a background mainly addressing large structures developed for space applications, it has succeeded in transferring and applying a spatial control concept into the field of industrial robotics. This volume reports the achievements of the project, which wascarried out by leading experts from industry and academia within the framework of the first phase of ERSPRIT, the European strategic programme for research and development in information technology of the Commission of the European Communities. SACODY is a French acronym for project 1561, the English title of which is "A high performance Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) robot with on-line dynamic compensation".
This ground-breaking study offers a new paradigm for understanding the beliefs and religions of the Goths, Burgundians, Sueves, Franks and Lombards as they converted from paganism to Christianity between c.350 and c.700 CE. Combining history and theology with approaches drawn from the cognitive science of religion, Belief and Religion in Barbarian Europe uses both written and archaeological evidence to challenge many older ideas. Beginning with a re-examination of our knowledge about the deities and rituals of their original religions, it goes on to question the assumption that the Germanic peoples were merely passive recipients of Christian doctrine, arguing that so-called 'Arianism' was fi...
Holistic Retail Design sets out a theory that reshapes shopping by introducing strategies in holistic constitution and the improvement of retail experiences. It covers stationary, temporary and digital customer touch-points and intermediates between the consumer, the retail brand and the products being offered. The theory shapes spaces, platforms, events, interfaces, signage and communications, expanding scope whilst introducing retail archetypes linking to customer role models. Features The authors outline a new approach to retail design. Strategy applications are outlined per chapter, with international best practice cases highlighted. Written by leading professors in the field, Prof. Rainer Zimmermann and Prof. Philipp Teufel from the Peter Behrens School of Arts, University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf. Visually interesting with outstanding graphic design.
Radio Technologies and Concepts for IMT-Advanced presents the findings of the Wireless World Initiative New Radio (WINNER) project in Framework Program 6 of the European Commission. It provides an insight into the key concepts and technologies for the IMT-Advanced radio interface, based on the collaborative research of manufacturers, network operators, research centres and universities within WINNER. The book covers the fundamental radio characteristics of a typical 4G wireless communication system, focusing on the transceiver’s chain from the physical layer to layers 2 and 3. Starting by defining realistic and futuristic usage scenarios, the authors provide in-depth discussion of key tech...
Die medizinische Versorgung für Patienten mit Hämophilie und schwerem Von-Willebrand-Syndrom wird von Jahr zu Jahr besser. Damit einhergehend steigt auch die Lebenserwartung. Während 1938 diese nur bei acht Jahren lag, stieg sie bis 2001 auf über 70 Jahre an. Damit rücken die Probleme und Beschwerden der älteren Patienten mit Blutgerinnungsstörungen immer stärker in den Fokus. Dieser Ratgeber bietet erstmals Unterstützung für die Zielgruppe der älteren Betroffenen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen vor allem der Umgang mit Schmerzen und Alterskrankheiten wie Herzinfarkt, Fragen zum Berufsleben sowie rechtliche Hilfe. Gut informiert können Betroffene und ihre Angehörigen die Hürden des Älterwerdens meistern und die Chance auf ein ausgefülltes Leben nutzen.
Die Markenkommunikation befindet sich in einem fundamentalen Wandel. Neue Formen der Live Communication ergänzen bzw. ersetzen die bisherigen Instrumente im Kommunikations-Mix. Dadurch erlangt die systematische Planung, Umsetzung und Kontrolle von Messen, Events, Roadshows, Showrooms und Brand Lands einen herausragenden Stellenwert. Die Autoren präsentieren fundierte Lösungsansätze und zeigen besondere Anforderungen für einzelne Prozessschritte auf – von der konzeptionellen Vorbereitung bis hin zur wirkungsvollen Umsetzung und Erfolgskontrolle. Interviews mit hochkarätigen Expertenvertretern und konkrete Case-Beschreibungen verdeutlichen die Vorgehensweisen und Resultate. Ergänzend liefern verschiedene empirische Untersuchungen – u. a. die seit 2003 jährlich durchgeführten, branchenübergreifenden LiveTrend-Studien – interessante Benchmark-Informationen. Abschließend werden die Potenziale der Live Communication analysiert und Handlungsoptionen zum optimalen Einsatz der LiveCom-Instrumente konkretisiert.
Vols. for 1956- include a separately paged section: Directory of organizations, associations and institutions.
What do we understand 'noise' to be? The term 'noise' no longer suggests only aesthetic judgement, as in acoustic or visual noise, and is now relevant to domains as varied as communication theory, physics and biology. This trans-disciplinary usage leads to confusion and complication, and reveals that the question of noise is a properly philosophical problem. Presenting an analysis of the rising interest in the notion of noise, this book investigates if there can be a coherent understanding of what it is, that can be effectively shared among the natural and human sciences, technology and the arts. Drawing the philosophical consequences of noise for the theory of knowledge, Malaspina undertake...
