This book is the first to evaluate the organisation, behaviour and performance of six major East Asian real estate markets. It offers a unique analysis of the growth and transformation of the real estate sector across East Asia. The authors examine the interactions between volatility in the sector and the overall stability of the economy, in particular during the Asia financial crisis of 1997-98, and the global financial crisis of 2008-09. * draws on the best available theoretical and empirical literature * applies analytic tools in the context of East Asian institutions and policies * helps understand factors affecting resilience and stability in East Asian real estate markets.

This extensively updated second edition of LTE Signaling, Troubleshooting and Performance Measurement describes the LTE signaling protocols and procedures for the third generation of mobile communications and beyond. It is one of the few books available that explain the LTE signaling messages, procedures and measurements down to the bit & byte level, and all trace examples are taken for a real lab and field trial traces. This book covers the crucial key performance indicators (KPI) to be measured during field trials and deployment phase of new LTE networks. It describes how statistic values can be aggregated and evaluated, and how the network can be optimized during the first stages of deployment, using dedicated examples to enhance understanding. Written by experts in the field of mobile communications, this book systematically describes the most recent LTE signaling procedures, explaining how to identify and troubleshoot abnormal network behavior and common failure causes, as well as describing the normal signaling procedures. This is a unique feature of the book, allowing readers to understand the root cause analysis of problems related to signaling procedures. This book will be especially useful for network operators and equipment manufacturers; engineers; technicians; network planners; developers; researchers; designers; testing personnel and project managers; consulting and training companies; standardization bodies.

Die Weitung des Mundes markiert den Menschen grundlegend als aisthetisches Wesen. Daher ist es kaum verwunderlich, dass der offene Mund die Kultur- und Kunstgeschichte von der antiken Maske bis zur gegenwärtigen (Pop-)Performance durchzieht. Allerdings offenbart der geweitete Mund zuvorderst jene pathische Erfahrung, die sich weder auf Zeichen, Bilder oder Sprache reduzieren lässt. Wovon kündet folglich der offene Mund? Was geht aus ihm hervor? Anhand seiner vielfältigen und vieldeutigen Weitungen - Gähnen, Schreien, Heulen, Staunen, Sprechen, Lachen, Singen - beschreibt Lorenz Aggermann in seiner Studie den spielerischen Umgang mit den sonoren und affektiven Registern des Subjekts und etabliert derart eine anthropologisch grundierte Theorie der darstellenden Kunst. Zahlreiche Abbildungen bieten zudem eine kleine Phänomenologie des offenen Mundes.

<p>By itself or in combination with an affective disorder, early onset schizophrenia (EOS) — the onset of symptoms before 18 years of age — can create severe deficits in young people’s academic performance, family and peer relationships, and even the ability to acquire new skills. The relative rarity of the condition, meanwhile, can leave school personnel unsure of how to meet — or even recognize — student needs.</p> <p><i>Identifying, Assessing, and Treating Early Onset Schizophrenia at School</i> emphasizes the importance of providing teachers and students alike with the support needed to enhance academic performance and improve social skills of children and adolescents with EOS within educational settings. In addition, its evidence-based framework enables school professionals to achieve greater confidence and accuracy in identifying students with EOS and provide appropriate services, both in special education and general classes.</p> <p>In this authoritative and accessible volume, experts offer the most salient information on early onset schizophrenia, including:</p> <ul> <li>Contributing factors and risk factors.</li> <li>Prevalence and epidemiology.</li> <li>Screening and assessment procedures.</li> <li>Guidelines for determining eligibility for special education programs under IDEIA and Section 504.</li> <li>Latest findings on school-based and off-campus interventions for EOS.</li> <li>A useful resource appendix.</li> </ul> <p><i>Identifying, Assessing, and Treating Early Onset Schizophrenia at School</i> gives school psychologists and allied education professionals both a practical understanding of this disabling condition and the most up-to-date strategies for providing earlier and effective interventions.</p>

<div> This book explores the incorporation of plasmonic nanostructures into organic solar cells, which offers an attractive light trapping and absorption approach to enhance power conversion efficiencies. The authors review the latest advances in the field and discuss the characterization of these hybrid devices using a combination of optical and electrical probes.  </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> Transient optical spectroscopies such as transient absorption and transient photoluminescence spectroscopy offer powerful tools for observing charge carrier dynamics in plasmonic organic solar cells. In conjunction with device electrical characterizations, they provide unambiguous proof of the effect of the plasmonic nanostructures on the solar cells’ performance.  </div> <div> <br> </div> <div> However, there have been a number of controversies over the effects of such integration – where both enhanced and decreased performance have been reported. Importantly, the new insights into the photophysics and charge dynamics of plasmonic organic solar cells that these spectroscopy methods yield could be used to resolve these controversies and provide clear guidelines for device design and fabrication. </div>
