Thirty-two master coaching sessions by Anthony Robbins, filmed live as he worked with individuals and couples one-on-one. Robbins' work is analyzed and explained on a minute-to-minute basis by Cloe Madanes, world-reknown teacher of therapists and coaches, so that you understand exactly how and why the transformation succeeded. These videos are truly unique in the world of coaching, therapy, and communication, as instead of merely teaching principles, they show real people in real live interventions making dramatic changes in real time, while explaining how every communication and decision worked to bring about that change.

This second edition of Dissipative Systems Analysis and Control has been substantially reorganized to accommodate new material and enhance its pedagogical features. It examines linear and nonlinear systems with examples of both in each chapter. Also included are some infinite-dimensional and nonsmooth examples. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the use of the dissipative properties of a system for the design of stable feedback control laws.

Printed films are used in sensors, actuators, circuit components, heaters and solar cells. The goal for most applications is the creation of disposable devices on low cost flexible substrates while retaining yield, longevity and manufacturing ease. This book covers developments in printed films and the challenges, opportunities and progress towards new devices. Part one focuses on the materials and properties of printed films, beginning with a review of the concepts, technologies and materials involved in their production and use.

Digitally Assisted Pipeline ADCs: Theory and Implementation explores the opportunity to reduce ADC power dissipation by leveraging digital signal processing capabilities in fine line integrated circuit technology. The described digitally assisted pipelined ADC uses a statistics-based system identification technique as an enabling element to replace precision residue amplifiers with simple open-loop gain stages.

Focusing on the design of buildings for service life, Structures Durability of Engineering covers effective maintenance and repair techniques for reducing the likelihood of failure. It describes the in situ performance of all the major man-made materials used in civil engineering construction and some relatively new high-performance materials. The book explores deterioration mechanisms and the measures to counteract them, subsequent maintenance and repair techniques, and the latest standards on durability and repair. It covers life cycle costing and environmental life cycle assessment methods.

Statics and Dynamics teaches students to think like engineers by putting the emphasis on problem solving in a professional context. The two volumes impart skills they can draw upon to effectively apply the principles of mechanics to engineering problems. Throughout, the authors use a consistent methodology for problem solving - analyse, solve and discuss.

Das Buch behandelt eine Thematik, die von der Soziologie bisher nur kaum thematisiert worden ist. Theoretisch-systematische Erörterungen der Zentrum/Peripherie-Differenz existieren im Buchformat unseres Wissens nach nicht.
