Advances in the Sociology of Trust and Cooperation
The problem of cooperation is one of the core issues in sociology and social science more in general. The key question is how humans, groups, organizations, institutions, and countries can avoid or overcome the collective good dilemmas that could lead to a Hobbesian "war of all against all". The chapters in this book provide state of the art examples of research on this crucial topic. These include theoretical, laboratory, and field studies on trust and cooperation, thereby approaching the issue in three complementary and synergetic ways. The theoretical work covers articles on trust and control, reputation formation, and paradigmatic articles on the benefits and caveats of abstracting reali...
Demography: Analysis and Synthesis, Four Volume Set
This four-volume collection of over 140 original chapters covers virtually everything of interest to demographers, sociologists, and others. Over 100 authors present population subjects in ways that provoke thinking and lead to the creation of new perspectives, not just facts and equations to be memorized. The articles follow a theory-methods-applications approach and so offer a kind of "one-stop shop" that is well suited for students and professors who need non-technical summaries, such as political scientists, public affairs specialists, and others. Unlike shorter handbooks, Demography: Analysis and Synthesis offers a long overdue, thorough treatment of the field. Choosing the analytical m...
Multilevel Analysis
Multilevel analysis covers all the main methods, techniques and issues for carrying out multilevel modeling and analysis. The approach is applied, and less mathematical than many other textbooks.
The Oxford Handbook of Political Networks
Politics is intuitively about relationships, but until recently the network perspective has not been a dominant part of the methodological paradigm that political scientists use to study politics. This volume is a foundational statement about networks in the study of politics.
Sozialpsychologie der Mediennutzung. Motive, Charakteristiken und Wirkungen interpersonaler Kommunikation über massenmediale Inhalte
Individuelle Mediennutzung ist ein Gruppenphänomen. Besonders deutlich kommt dies in den alltäglichen Gesprächen über die Massenmedien zum Ausdruck. Die sozialpsychologische Analyse der Mediennutzung setzt bei den individuellen Motiven an, um zu verstehen, warum die Massenmedien so häufig Gegenstand der interpersonalen Kommunikation sind und weshalb sie oft gemeinsam mit anderen Personen genutzt werden. Darauf aufbauend kann auf Dynamiken in sozialen Netzwerken geschlossen werden, die zu komplexen Nutzungsmustern in Gruppen und in der Gesellschaft führen. Der Autor entwickelt eine integrative Systematik von Motiven, Charakteristiken und Wirkungen interpersonaler Kommunikation über massenmediale Inhalte. Er zeigt, wie anhand von dynamischen Netzwerkdaten und anhand der akteursorientierten Modellierung Selektions- und Beeinflussungsprozesse empirisch untersucht werden können und welche Relevanz diese Unterscheidung für die Wissenschaft aber auch für die Medienpraxis hat.
Computational Organometallic Chemistry
This work provides a how-to approach to the fundamentals, methodologies and dynamics of computational organometallic chemistry, including classical and molecular mechanics (MM), quantum mechanics (QM), and hybrid MM/QM techniques. It demonstrates applications in actinide chemistry, catalysis, main group chemistry, medicine, and organic synthesis.
Theoretical Aspects of Homogeneous Catalysis
This publication is the first to present the quantitative application of quantum chemistry to organometallic reactions. Great progress has been made in recent years in the calculation of transition states of organometallic conversions in both homo and heterogeneous catalysis. This volume, which contains seven contributions by leading scientists, deals with key reactions of homogeneous catalysis including oxidative addition, migratory insertions, 2+2 additions, the Wacker reaction, and epoxidation. The book provides experimental chemists with an up-to-date overview of the state of the art in this field, and will stimulate an adjustment of views previously based on semiempirical calculations. For researchers and advanced graduate students whose work involves organometallics and catalysis.
Reviews in Computational Chemistry, Volume 26
Computational chemistry is increasingly used in conjunction with organic, inorganic, medicinal, biological, physical, and analytical chemistry, biotechnology, materials science, and chemical physics. This series is essential in keeping those individuals involved in these fields abreast of recent developments in computational chemistry.
Quantum Theory of the Electron Liquid
Publisher Description
Multilevel Analysis
The Second Edition of this classic text introduces the main methods, techniques and issues involved in carrying out multilevel modeling and analysis. Snijders and Bosker′s book is an applied, authoritative and accessible introduction to the topic, providing readers with a clear conceptual and practical understanding of all the main issues involved in designing multilevel studies and conducting multilevel analysis. This book provides step-by-step coverage of: • multilevel theories • ecological fallacies • the hierarchical linear model • testing and model specification • heteroscedasticity • study designs • longitudinal data • multivariate multilevel models • discrete depen...
