En grunnleggende innføring i statistisk metode og i sannsynlighet, særlig rettet mot medisin og helsefag. Stoffet presenteres på en lett tilgjengelig måte, og fremstillingen er nært knyttet opp til praktiske eksempler. Eksemplene er stort sett inspirert av medisinske problemstillinger som bidrar til å gjøre fremstillingen levende og aktuell, og som ikke krever medisinske forkunnskaper. De mest brukte statistiske tester og metoder er dekket, og det gis også en innføring i videregående temaer som overlevelsesanalyse og logistisk regresjon. Videre gjennomgår forfatterne prinsipper for planlegging av kliniske prøvninger og statistisk analyse i epidemiologi.

Verden og vi ATOMET Større kunnskap om atomets opp- bygning, hva som skjer inne i det og hvilke partikler som spiller med i de forskjellige prosessene, hjelper oss til å forstå vår verden bedre. Atomene er verdens byggesteiner, og alt stoff består av atomer. Atomene har i midten en kjerne, som består av protoner og nøytroner. Mesteparten av atomets masse er samlet i kjernen. Studiet av atomkjernens oppbygning viser oss hvordan stoffets innerste deler holdes sammen, og har etter hvert utviklet seg til en egen vitenskap, kjernefysikken. Boka forteller hvordan dette har dannet grunnlaget for en ny energikilde, kjerneenergien. Allerede filosofene i århundrene f.Kr. beskjeftiget seg med atombe- grepet. Boka beskriver hvordan atomteorien har utviklet seg, hvordan vitenskapsmenn og forskere har arbeidet og stadig gjort nye framskritt. Norsk fagkonsulent: Dosent dr. philos.

<p>In 1910 Francisco Madero, in exile in San Antonio, Texas, launched a revolution that changed the face of Mexico. The conflict also unleashed violence and instigated political actions that kept that nation unsettled for more than a decade. As in other major uprisings around the world, the revolution's effects were not contained within the borders of the embattled country. Indeed, the Mexican Revolution touched communities on the Texas side of the Rio Grande from Brownsville to El Paso. Fleeing refugees swelled the populations of South Texas towns and villages and introduced nationalist activity as exiles and refugees sought to extend moral, financial, and even military aid to those they supported in Mexico. Raiders from Mexico clashed with Texas ranchers over livestock and property, and bystanders as well as partisans died in the conflict.<br> One hundred years later, Mexico celebrated the memory of the revolution, and scholars in Mexico and the United States sought to understand the effects of the violence on their own communities. <i>War along the Border</i>, edited by noted Tejano scholar Arnoldo De Leon, is the result of an important conference hosted by the University of Houston's Center for Mexican American Studies.<br> Scholars contributing to this volume consider topics ranging from the effects of the Mexican Revolution on Tejano and African American communities to its impact on Texas' economy and agriculture. Other essays consider the ways that Mexican Americans north of the border affected the course of the revolution itself. The work collected in this important book not only recaps the scholarship done to date but also suggests fruitful lines for future inquiry. <i>War along the Border</i> suggests new ways of looking at a watershed moment in Mexican American history and reaffirms the trans-national scope of Texas history.</p>

This text covers over 2,000 years, tracing the roots of the contemporary Mexican-American. It utilizes the fields of history, political science, cultural anthropology, folklore, literature, sociolinguistics, Latin American studies and ethnic studies. Thus, it is unique for its multidisciplinary approach which probes into the past of the underclass-the exploited Native-American, Campesino and Mexican-American. It presents, therefore, an insider's view of the history, culture and politics of the Mestizo/Mestiza as an underclass. Most important, it presents a new perspective that invalidates the current Spanish/European and Western interpretation of Native-American reality.

Applied Mathematical Programming is designed as a text for a first course in mathe matical programming aimed at integrating methods and applications. The objective of the book is to present material that leads to a greater understanding of applied problems and to an ability to structure and carry out the implementation of projects that utilize mathematical programming models. Today, mathematical programming is one of the most widely used forms of modeling. Since its initial development, it has attracted the attention of managers. engineers, economists, and social scientists as one of the most powerful and flexible tools available to support decision making. The result has been applications of mathematical programming that are both numerous and varied. In this book our aim is to provide students, as well as practitioners in these fields, with a broad exposure to the primary topics of mathematical programming. by blending methodology and applications. The book presents in a unifying manner the methodology of mathematical pro gramming, an overview of mathematical programming in practice, and a series of selected projects reporting on the actual implementation of mathematical pro gramming models in business and the public sector. WHAT THE BOOK COVERS The book surveys at an introductory level the most important methodology of mathematical programming. Linear programming is covered in some depth includ ing recognition and formulation of problems, techniques for solving problems, sen sitivity analysis and parametric procedures, and duality theory and its implications. Special linear models such as games, network models, and large-scale systems are also presented.

Author Arnoldo De Leon shows that people of Spanish-Mexican descent were not passive players in or, worse, absent from West Texas history but instead were active De Leon showcases the continued presence and contribution of Mexican Americans to West Texas.

In 1991 Walter L. Buenger and the late Robert A. Calvertcompiled a pioneering work in Texas historiography: <i>Texas Through Time,</i> a seminal survey and critique of the field of Texas history from its inception through the end of the 1980s. Now, Buenger and Arnoldo De Leon have assembled an important new collection that assesses the current state of Texas historiography, building on the many changes in understanding and interpretation that have developed in the nearly twenty years since the publication of the original volume.<br> This new work, <i>Beyond Texas Through Time,</i> departs from the earlier volume's emphasis on the dichotomy between traditionalism and revisionism as they applied to various eras. Instead, the studies in this book consider the topical and thematic understandings of Texas historiography embraced by a new generation of Texas historians as they reflect analytically on the work of the past two decades. The resulting approaches thus offer the potential of informing the study of themes and topics other than those specifically introduced in this volume, extendingits usefulness well beyond a review of the literature. In addition, the volume editors' introduction proposes the application of cultural constructionism as an important third perspective on the thematic and topical analyses provided by the other contributors.<br><i>Beyond Texas Through Time</i> offers both a vantage point and a benchmark, serving as an important reference for scholars and advanced students of history and historiography, even beyond the borders of Texas.

In the era of globalization, shifting political landscapes, and transnational criminal organizations, discourse around immigration is reaching unprecedented levels. Immigration and the Law is a timely and significant volume of essays that addresses the social, political, and economic contexts of migration in the United States. The contributors analyze the historical and contemporary landscapes of immigration laws, their enforcement, and the discourse surrounding these events, as well as the mechanisms, beliefs, and ideologies that govern them.In today's highly charged atmosphere, Immigration and the Law gives readers a grounded and broad overview of American immigration law in a single book. With shifting demographics, a changing criminal justice system, and volatile political climate, the book is critically significant for academic, political, legal, and social arenas.The contributors offer sound evidence to expose the historical legacy of violence, brutality, manipulation, oppression, marginalization, prejudice, discrimination, power, and control. Demystifying the ways that current ideas of ethnicity, race, gender, and class govern immigration and uphold the functioning and legitimacy of the criminal justice system, Immigration and the Law presents a variety of studies and perspectives that offer a pathway toward addressing long-neglected but vital topics in the discourse on immigration and the law.Contributors: Steven W. Bender, Leo R. Chavez, Arnoldo De Leon, Daniel Justino Delgado, Roxanne Lynn Doty, Brenda I. Gill, Ruth Gomberg-Munoz, Peter Laufer, Lupe S. Salinas, Claudio G. Vera Sanchez, Mary Cay Sengstock.

From the author: "For the last two years, I've interviewed nearly two hundred world-class performers for my podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it's the first time they've agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview, and the show is on the cusp of passing 100 million downloads. "This book contains the distilled tools, tactics, and 'inside baseball' you won't find anywhere else. It also includes new tips from past guests, and life lessons from new 'guests' you haven't met. "What makes the show different is a relentless focus on actionable details. This is reflected in the questions. For example: What do these people do in the first sixty minutes of each morning? What do their workout routines look like, and why? What books have they gifted most to other people? What are the biggest wastes of time for novices in their field? What supplements do they take on a daily basis? "I don't view myself as an interviewer. I view myself as an experimenter. If I can't test something and replicate results in the messy reality of everyday life, I'm not interested. "Everything within these pages has been vetted, explored, and applied to my own life in some fashion. I've used dozens of the tactics and philosophies in high-stakes negotiations, high-risk environments, or large business dealings. The lessons have made me millions of dollars and saved me years of wasted effort and frustration. "I created this book, my ultimate notebook of high-leverage tools, for myself. It's changed my life, and I hope the same for you."
