Exploring the transitional role of the state in Taiwan's economic development, this book focuses especially on the impact of trade with mainland China. Tse-Kang Leng argues that the basic structure of political forces within Taiwan and its pattern of external economic relations have been transformed in the 1990s, with cross-Straits trade playing a key part. Although politically embarrassing to the government, this trade provides an economic opportunity that is irresistibly attractive to business interests.Thus, cross-Straits trade and investment have served as a fulcrum by which societal...

Mary Leng offers a defense of mathematical fictionalism, according to which we have no reason to believe that there are any mathematical objects. Perhaps the most pressing challenge to mathematical fictionalism is the indispensability argument for the truth of our mathematical theories (and therefore for the existence of the mathematical objects posited by those theories). According to this argument, if we have reason to believe anything, we have reason to believe that the claims of our best empirical theories are (at least approximately) true. But since claims whose truth would require the...

Neuroendocrinology with its well defined functions, inputs, and outputs, is one of the most fertile grounds for computational modeling in neuroscience. But modeling is often seen as something of a dark art. This book aims to display the power of modeling approaches in neuroendocrinology, and to showcase its potential for understanding these complex systems.

A recurring theme in neuroendocrinology is rhythms. How are rhythms generated, and what purpose do they serve? Are these two questions inextricably intertwined?

This book is written for innocents, presuming no math beyond...

Through predictions of future trends, examinations of techniques and technologies, and focuses on users, interactions, and experiences, this in-depth collection provides developers and scholars with an extensive collection of research articles from the expanding field of digital libraries.

In Sexual Politics and Feminist Science, Kirsten Leng restores the work of female sexologists to the forefront of the history of sexology. While male researchers who led the practice of early-twentieth-century sexology viewed women and their sexuality as objects to be studied, not as collaborators in scientific investigation, Leng pinpoints...

Es muss nicht immer das Treppenhaus der Würzburger Residenz sein. Rainer Leng empfiehlt stattdessen einen Ausflug zum Kloster Amorbach mit seiner Rokokobibliothek. Von der größten Burgruine bis zur längsten Bratwurst: In Mainfranken gibt es noch zahlreiche unbekannte Schätze zu entdecken.§Der Historiker Rainer Leng ist seit 2008 außerplanmäßiger Professor für Mittelalterliche Geschichte an der Universität Würzburg. In seiner Freizeit erkundet er die uralte Kulturlandschaft am Mittellauf des Mains unter anderem auch mit dem Motorrad. In dem durchgängig reich bebilderten Band...

Tissue engineering (TE) requires a mechanically stable, biocompatible, and biodegradable scaffold that serves as a foundation for cell adhesion, and cell specific differentiation. Furthermore, the scaffold should be suitable to be in reconstructive surgery. Therefore, fabricated scaffold should mimic the biomechanical properties of the organ or tissue to be employed. To meet such requirements, development of an appropriate 3D scaffold for tissue reconstruction remains a great challenge in various TE fields. In this work, TE scaffolds were manufactured via an in-house built desktop robot based...

The health care system in Malaysia has undergone a fundamental transformation over the last two decades. This book examines this transformation and explores the pressing issues it faces today. It includes coverage of:

• the evolution of the system since independence, from the colonial legacy of national provision bequeathed from the British to the impact of the global ideological shift against statism in the 1980s
• considers the responses of the Malaysian state and government policy
• issues such as equity of provision, women's access to health care, HIV-AIDS...

These are exciting times in theological education as old models are being reassessed and teachers and schools are looking for guidance on how best to do the job and how to profitably relate to students in the ministry of teaching. Increasingly, the motif of hospitality is being used to guide our thinking and practice, but it needs a careful assessment if it is to be of maximum use to theological education today.

This book provides an integrated biblical, theological, and educational rationale to in- form theological educators of the place of hospitality in enhancing their quest to...

Admired for their extraordinary stimuli-sensitive behavior and shape-changing capabilities, shape-memory polymers (SMPs) and multifunctional composites are among the most important smart materials. They continue to be widely applied in many diverse fields to create things such as self-deployable spacecraft structures, morphing structures, SMP foams, smart textiles, and intelligent medical devices.

Written by renowned authors, Shape-Memory Polymers and Multifunctional Composites is a broad overview of the systematic progress associated with this emerging class of...
