Scholarly Virtues in Nineteenth-Century Sciences and Humanities: Loyalty and Independence Entangled
by Christiaan EngbertsReflecting a growing interest in the history of knowledge, this book explores the importance of scholarly virtues during the late nineteenth century. The practice of science is moulded on notions of scholarly values, such as diligence, impartiality, meticulousness and patience, but here, the author focuses on the virtues of collegial loyalty and critical independence. By analysing how virtues were reflected in day-to-day scholarly work, and examining the possibility that these virtues may have come into conflict with each other, this book sheds light on what is often described as ‘the moral economy of scholarship,’ a metaphor which draws attention to the changeability of the expectations raised by virtue. Highlighting the pre-eminence and exemplary nature of German scholarship during the nineteenth century, the author provides a detailed analysis of four evaluative practices used by scholars across the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences in a number of German universities.This allows a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between collegial loyalty and critical independence in the academic working environment, and draws comparisons across varying disciplines. A welcome contribution to a growing field of research, this book provides a comparative and transdisciplinary overview of scholarly virtues and will be of interest to those researching the history of science and the humanities.
Scholars and Scholarship in Late Babylonian Uruk (Why the Sciences of the Ancient World Matter #2)
by Christine Proust John SteeleThis volume explores how scholars wrote, preserved, circulated, and read knowledge in ancient Mesopotamia. It offers an exercise in micro-history that provides a case study for attempting to understand the relationship between scholars and scholarship during this time of great innovation. The papers in this collection focus on tablets written in the city of Uruk in southern Babylonia. These archives come from two different scholarly contexts. One is a private residence inhabited during successive phases by two families of priests who were experts in ritual and medicine. The other is the most important temple in Uruk during the late Achemenid and Hellenistic periods. The contributors undertake detailed studies of this material to explore the scholarly practices of individuals, the connection between different scholarly genres, and the exchange of knowledge between scholars in the city and scholars in other parts of Babylonia and the Greek world. In addition, this collection examines the archives in which the texts were found and the scribes who owned or wrote them. It also considers the interconnections between different genres of knowledge and the range of activities of individual scribes. In doing so, it answers questions of interest not only for the study of Babylonian scholarship but also for the study of ancient Mesopotamian textual culture more generally, and for the study of traditions of written knowledge in the ancient world.

School-based Partnerships in Teacher Education: A Research Informed Model For Universities, Schools And Beyond
by Coral Campbell Mellita Jones Linda HobbsThis book demonstrates school-based approaches to primary science teacher education. The models used involve partnerships between universities and primary schools to engage pre-service primary teachers in classroom teaching and learning that effectively connects theory with practice separate to the formal practicum arrangements. The book is a culmination of the research and collaboration of researchers from five Australian universities involved in the Science Teacher Education Partnerships with Schools (STEPS) project, funded by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching.While the STEPS project focused on partnerships in primary science teacher education, a key strength of the partnership model (the STEPS Interpretive Framework) developed and explored in this book is its applicability for cross-case, national, international, and inter-state analyses of partnership practices. This is shown through a number of case studies where the STEPS Interpretive Framework is applied and evaluated in the context of other school- or learning-related partnerships. These broad-ranging analyses illustrate the relevance of the model to a range of settings, both within and outside of education.
Schooling for Sustainable Development in Canada and the United States
by Rosalyn Mckeown Victor NoletEducation for sustainable development (ESD) presents an intriguing challenge in developed countries. The very notion of sustainable development may appear to be at cross-purposes with the social and political aims of large industrial economies. Yet, arguably, the residents of wealthy countries may be most in need of new ways of thinking and behaving on an increasingly more fragile and crowded planet. This book presents a collection of essays that capture the depth and diversity of education for sustainable development (ESD) work in formal education in Canada and the United States. Many of the authors are pioneers in the field of ESD, not only in their own countries but internationally. In this book, they share their expertise, lessons learned, and insights into the ongoing success of their work. The essays reflect leading edge practice, innovation, and depth of experience and provide clear models and strategies for expanding the application and influence of ESD in wealthy countries. The ESD programs described in the book are relevant and culturally appropriate for the specific locally contexts in which they are found but also in the larger context of ESD writ large as a planetary endeavour.
Schooling for Sustainable Development in Chinese Communities
by Michael Williams John Chi-Kin LeeThis book focuses on the academic foundations, trends and traditions of environmental education for sustainable development principally in Chinese contexts. It highlights contexts and case studies that illuminate recent Chinese initiatives. It includes case studies of green schools and reports on recent initiatives in school-based ESD curriculum development programmes in China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. The book concludes with an overview chapter that points to likely future developments. The assumption underpinning the book is that experiences gained in such a major country as China will be of real interest to geographical and environmental educationists, professional educators and teachers elsewhere. Not only will it generate interest and create greater awareness but also it is hoped that these experiences will provide a platform for scholarly exchange and contribute insights on education policy and curriculum changes across Asian-Pacific communities in an increasingly globalised world.
Schooling for Sustainable Development in South America
by Leandro Petarnella Maria Lucia de Amorim SoaresThis book supplies both empirical evidence and scholarly analysis that exemplify successful innovation in South America in the field of sustainability education. Examining the issues from a three-fold perspective, of national policy, regional planning and grassroots projects in schools and communities, the volume offers a comprehensive overview of the contemporary situation in Brazil, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina and Venezuela. It provides case studies as detailed illustrations of the recipe for success as well as to inform researchers and practitioners of the kinds of obstacles and challenges they might face in seeking to manifest sustainability. A good deal of the research and scholarly studies in the field of education for sustainability and sustainable development is underpinned by 'Western' norms and culture. This book draws on that literature, yet also teases out features in the case studies that are particular to the region. South America itself encompasses a rich variety of natural and cultural environments--within individual nations as much as continent-wide. This diversity is a recurring theme in the book. The volume's three sections provide first a general survey, enriched with material from studies conducted in a number of different polities. The second section covers developments in Brazil, South America's largest nation and one that exhibits many of the features of education for sustainability found across the continent. Part three sets out and explores future trends. As with other books in the Schooling for Sustainable Development series, this volume will add impetus to scholarly exchange as well as contributing insights on education policy and curriculum changes across South American communities that exist in an increasingly globalized world.
Schooling for Sustainable Development:
by Margaret Robertson"This book Schooling for Sustainable Development: A Focus on Australia, New Zealand and the Oceanic Region, is the product of passionate interests of teachers, scholars and researchers located in diverse parts of the Australasian region. Working with their colleagues within local contexts they have conducted research and gathered together information for practitioners and students interested in learning more about sustainable lifestyle practices. Some of the work has taken place in remote locations and some has been in within the confines of major cities. The Australasian Region brings together people and cultures that link traditional economies to global networks and lifestyles. Diverse terrain, politics and responses typify the region. Close to Asia there are lingering ties with old European ways and cultural beliefs. The major economies of Australia and New Zealand provide the lead with development practices for lesser economies such as Papua New Guinea, Fiji and the many island nations scattered throughout the South Pacific. This complexity is not easily represented. Key issues relate to land ownership, mobilities within the region and the gradual dissemination of knowledge, skills and wealth. The book will provide both reference material and interesting reading for teachers, researchers and practitioners in interested in community based perspectives on sustainability. We have learnt from each other and hope that others will benefit from our efforts."

Schritt für Schritt zum Patent
by Sonja VorwerkDieses Buch vermittelt einen Überblick über den Prozess der Patenterteilung und zeigt auf, dass Patente auf Erfindungen auch im Interesse der Wissenschaftler sind und dass ihnen eine zunehmend wichtigere Rolle in der Bewertung wissenschaftlicher Arbeit zukommt. Es wendet sich an alle, die auf dem Gebiet der Patente noch Wissenslücken haben und legt auf verständliche Weise dar, dass sich Patente und wissenschaftliche Publikationen nicht ausschließen müssen. Patente bieten die Chance auf eine weitere Einnahmequelle (Arbeitnehmererfindervergütung) und können sogar die Grundlage für ein Spin-Off und somit eine eigene Unternehmens(mit)gründung sein. Dieses Werk bietet einen Leitfaden, um sich im komplizierten Prozess der Patenterteilung zurechtzufinden und ermöglicht so dem Leser, für seine eigene Patentanmeldung effektiv mit dem Patentfachmann zusammenzuarbeiten.
Schrodinger's Killer App: Race to Build the World's First Quantum Computer
by Jonathan P. DowlingWritten by a renowned quantum physicist closely involved in the U.S. government's development of quantum information science, this book presents an inside look at the government's quest to build a quantum computer capable of solving complex mathematical problems and hacking the public-key encryption codes used to secure the Internet. The "killer app" refers to Shor's quantum factoring algorithm, which would unveil the encrypted communications of the entire Internet if a quantum computer could be built to run the algorithm. Schrodinger's notion of quantum entanglement-and his infamous cat-is at the heart of it all.
Schrodinger's Kittens: And The Search For Reality
by Dr John GribbinAccessible exploration of one of the most exciting areas of scientific inquiry - the nature of light.Following on from his bestseller, SCHRODINGER'S CAT, John Gribbin presents the recent dramatic improvements in experimental techniques that have enabled physicists to formulate and test new theories about the nature of light. He describes these theories not in terms of hard-to-imagine entities like spinning subnuclear particles, but in terms of the fate of two small cats, separated at a tender age and carried to opposite ends of the universe. In this way Gribbin introduces the reader to such new developments as quantum cryptography, through which unbreakable codes can be made, and goes on to possible future developments such as the idea that the ¿entanglement' of quantum particles could be a way to build a STAR TREK style teleportation machine.
Schrödinger Operators, Spectral Analysis and Number Theory: In Memory of Erik Balslev (Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics #348)
by Sergio Albeverio Ricardo Weder Anindita BalslevThis book gives its readers a unique opportunity to get acquainted with new aspects of the fruitful interactions between Analysis, Geometry, Quantum Mechanics and Number Theory. The present book contains a number of contributions by specialists in these areas as an homage to the memory of the mathematician Erik Balslev and, at the same time, advancing a fascinating interdisciplinary area still full of potential. Erik Balslev has made original and important contributions to several areas of Mathematics and its applications. He belongs to the founders of complex scaling, one of the most important methods in the mathematical and physical study of eigenvalues and resonances of Schrödinger operators, which has been very essential in advancing the solution of fundamental problems in Quantum Mechanics and related areas. He was also a pioneer in making available and developing spectral methods in the study of important problems in Analytic Number Theory.
Schrödinger Theory of Electrons: Complementary Perspectives (Springer Tracts in Modern Physics #285)
by Viraht SahniThis book presents a complementary perspective to Schrödinger theory of electrons in an electromagnetic field, one that does not appear in any text on quantum mechanics. The perspective, derived from Schrödinger theory, is that of the individual electron in the sea of electrons via its temporal and stationary-state equations of motion – the ‘Quantal Newtonian’ Second and First Laws. The Laws are in terms of ‘classical’ fields experienced by each electron, the sources of the fields being quantum-mechanical expectation values of Hermitian operators taken with respect to the wave function. Each electron experiences the external field, and internal fields representative of properties of the system, and a field descriptive of its response. The energies are obtained in terms of the fields. The ‘Quantal Newtonian’ Laws lead to physical insights, and new properties of the electronic system are revealed. New mathematical understandings of Schrödinger theory emerge which show the equation to be intrinsically self-consistent. Another complimentary perspective to Schrödinger theory is its manifestation as a local effective potential theory described via Quantal Density Functional theory. This description too is in terms of ‘classical’ fields and quantal sources. The theory provides a rigorous physical explanation of the mapping from the interacting system to the local potential theory equivalent. The complementary perspective to stationary ground state Schrödinger theory founded in the theorems of Hohenberg and Kohn, their extension to the presence of a magnetic field and to the temporal domain – Modern Density Functional Theory -- is also described. The new perspectives are elucidated by application to analytically solvable interacting systems. These solutions and other relevant wave function properties are derived.

Schumpeterian Perspectives on Innovation, Competition and Growth
by Uwe Cantner Lionel Nesta Jean-Luc GaffardRecent developments in economics have gone from the recognition of the importance of innovation for growth and the exploration of innovation mechanisms to the incorporation of the results of the previous research into economic models. An important lesson to be drawn from all this research is that a purely macro-based analysis of growth is not enough. The various mechanisms of innovation creation and diffusion, the importance of agent heterogeneity, of market selection processes, of the internal organization of the firm and of organizational routines, and the obsolescence and the consequent emergence of new types of capital goods are a few examples of micro-economic phenomena that contribute decisively to macro-economic development. The papers in this volume approach those issues from a Schumpeterian point of view and tackle issues like the growing importance of knowledge and human capital; increasing returns and path dependence; the role of variety in economic growth; competition and industry evolution.
Schutz von Arten vor Glas und Licht: Rechtliche Anforderungen und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten (Schriftenreihe Natur und Recht)
by Benedikt Huggins Sabine SchlackeDieses Buch enthält eine umfassende Analyse der rechtlichen Pflichten und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten zum Schutz vor Risiken und Gefahren für Vögel, Fledermäuse und Insekten durch Glas und Licht. Die Anlockwirkung von nächtlichen Lichtquellen auf Insekten sowie die Kollisionen von Vögeln mit Glas sind allgemein bekannt, aber bislang kaum untersucht worden. Aufgrund neuer Forschungserkenntnisse rückt die Verwendung von Glas und Licht nun stärker in den Fokus des Interesses. Diese rechtstatsächlichen Erkenntnisse werden zusammengefasst und erstmals einer umfassenden systematischen Analyse unterzogen. Das Buch arbeitet die Anforderungen des geltenden Rechts an den Schutz vor Risiken und Gefahren für Vögel, Fledermäuse und Insekten durch Glas und Licht heraus. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Untersuchung der naturschutzrechtlichen Eingriffsregelung, des FFH-Rechts und des besonderen Artenschutzrechts. Das Buch entwickelt Kriterien, anhand derer sich die Erheblichkeit von Beeinträchtigungen von und Eingriffen in Natur und Landschaft bestimmen lassen, und wertet die von der Rechtsprechung zum besonderen Artenschutzrecht entwickelten Signifikanzkriterien für nachteilige Auswirkungen von Glas und Licht aus. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt sind die baurechtlichen Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten und Vermeidungspflichten der Kommune durch Festsetzungen in Bebauungsplänen. Daneben untersucht das Buch die immissionsschutzrechtlichen Betreiberpflichten zum Schutz vor Lichtanlagen. Im Zusammenhang mit Licht wird der immissionsschutzrechtliche Begriff des Standes der Technik von Vermeidungsmaßnahmen konkretisiert und die Verkehrssicherungspflichten von Kommunen zur Beleuchtung der öffentlichen Straßen und Wege bestimmt. Schließlich wird auch die Vereinbarkeit von Skybeamern mit Bauordnungs- und Naturschutzrecht geprüft.
