Content: 'In the past two decades there has been considerable work on global climatic change and its effect on the ecosphere, as well as on local and global environmental changes triggered by human activities. From the tropics to the Arctic, peatlands have developed under various geological conditions, and they provide good records of global and local changes since the Late Pleistocene.The objectives of the book are to analyze topics such as geological evolution of major peatlands basins; peatlands as self sustaining ecosystems; chemical environment of peatlands: water and peat chemistry; peatl

Content: The first edition of Neurobiology of Learning and Memory was published in 1998 to rave reviews. As before, this second edition will discuss anatomy, development, systems, and models though the organization and content is substantially changed reflecting advances in the field. Including information from both animal and human studies, this book represents an up-to-date review of the most important concepts associated with the basic mechanism that support learning and memory, theoretical developments, use of computational models, and application to real world problems.

Content: Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) was conceived in 1996 as a signaling protocol for inviting users to multimedia conferences. With this development, the next big Internet revolution silently started. That was the revolution which would end up converting the Internet into a total communication system which would allow people to talk to each other, see each other, work collaboratively or send messages in real time. Internet telephony and, in general, Internet multimedia, is the new revolution today and SIP is the key protocol which allows this revolution to grow.The book explains, in tutoria

Content: Serbia has become one of the largest remittance-recipient countries in the world. It is estimated that in 2004 Serbia received US2.4 billion dollars in remittances from Serbian workers in Germany, the United States, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, and other countries. This amount represented 12 percent of Serbia's GDP. This report provides an overview of remittance flows from Germany to Serbia and analyzes why a large part of remittance transfers take place outside financial institutions. The study presents a series of recommendations on needed policy changes to facilitate the transfer of remitt

Content: Grundlage für diese Neuerscheinung bildet eine der umfangreichsten Sammlungen über deutsche Uniformen des Zweiten Weltkrieges, welche sich im Besitz des spanischen Sammlers Agustín Saiz befindet. Die Sammlung besteht zum größten Teil aus erstklassig erhaltenen Originalstücken. Der Aufbau der Kapitel orientiert sich am Alltag eines einfachen Soldaten. Neben der kompletten Uniformierung werden im großen Umfang Abbildungen von Sammlungsstücken aus allen Bereichen des täglichen Lebens gezeigt: unter anderem Essen, Freizeit, Tabak, Hygiene, Fotoapparate, Dokumente. Dieses Buch ist zugleich eine reich bebilderte Lebensgeschichte des deutschen Soldaten Anton Imgrund. Privatfotos seiner Einberufung, Einkleidung, Ausbildung bis hin zum Einsatz an der Front legen auf einzigartige Weise Zeugnis von den Nöten und Wünschen, Ängsten und Entbehrungen der einfachen Soldaten während des Zweiten Weltkrieges ab. Der Autor vermittelt anhand von Uniformstücken, Ausrüstungsgegenständen und Waffen, aber auch mit unzähligen persönlichen Gegenständen aus allen Lebensbereichen einen repräsentativen Einblick in den Soldatenalltag. Die fundierten Erläuterungen zeigen detailliert die Veränderungen an Bekleidung und Ausrüstung im Verlauf des Krieges und ihre unmittelbaren Auswirkungen auf das Leben an der Front. Das Buch ist komplett mit Farbabbildungen ausgestattet und umfasst neben vielen Detailansichten auch Innenansichten von Kopfbedeckungen, Jacken und vielem andren mehr. (AUT)

Content: Despite the deep financial sector reforms undertaken in Zambia in the early 1990s, the expected benefits of establishing a market-based banking system has not materialized. In 2005 the banking system continued to be small and underdeveloped. Credit to the private sector by banks represented only 8 percent of GDP in 2005, which is slightly lower than the level registered in 1990. As in the early 1990s, only large corporations and a few small- and medium-size enterprises have access to credit in 2006. Moreover, less than 8 percent of Zambia's adult population had a bank account in 2005. And despite the open door policy to foreign financial institutions, which has been in place since Zambia's independence, only a few new banking products have been introduced by foreign banks to serve the needs of households and firms. This paper analyzes the factors that have prevented the development of a large and inclusive banking system in Zambia and highlights possible actions that may help improve access to finance in Zambia in both the short and long terms.

Content: The book presents the proceedings of the international conference CLiP 2003, Computer Literacy and Philology, held in Florence on 4 and 5 December 2003 within the framework of the celebrations for the 80th anniversary of Florence University. The aim of the conference was to integrate humanistic disciplines with ICT technologies, and the publication is oriented to issues related to multilingualism. The contributions illustrate different types of IT tools now available to facilitate access to and management and study of the cultural heritage, more specifically that aspect of the heritage with which philologists and linguists are typically concerned.

Content: Il volume ospita gli atti della conferenza internazionale CLiP 2003, Computer Literacy and Philology, tenutasi a Firenze il 4 e 5 dicembre 2003 nell'ambito delle manifestazioni degli 80 anni dell'Ateneo Fiorentino. L'obiettivo della conferenza è stato l'integrazione delle discipline umanistiche e delle tecnologie dell'informazione e della comunicazione, ed il volume è orientato alle tematiche relative al multilinguismo. I contributi raccolti illustrano vari tipi di strumenti informatici oggi disponibili per l'accesso, la gestione e lo studio del patrimonio culturale, in particolare quella parte del patrimonio a cui si interessano tipicamente i filologi e i linguisti.
