Overview: Technisch zunehmend ähnlicher werdende Produkte sowie die Globalisierung des Wettbewerbs erfordern den effizienten Einsatz von Marketingmaßnahmen, um Wettbewerbsvorteile erzielen zu können. Informationssysteme zur Unterstützung der Entscheidungsträger in dem schlecht strukturierbaren Bereich "Marketing" gewinnen deshalb immer mehr an Bedeutung. Mit Hilfe der heute weit verbreiteten prozessorientierten Ansätze lassen sich derartige Systeme jedoch nur bedingt entwickeln.Alfred Schweiger stellt mit der „ARchitektur für MArketingInformationsSysteme (ARMAIS)“ eine Beschreibungsmethode vor

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Am Beispiel des bislang größten in Deutschland generierten Internet-Phänomens, dem sogenannten „Blumenkübel-Hype“, untersucht Vivian Büttner, wie im digitalen Zeitalter Nachrichten auf die Seite Eins gelangen. Diese müssen nicht von hoher Relevanz sein - was inmitten von Zeitungskrise und Social-Media-Euphorie bemerkenswert erscheinen mag. Wie also entsteht ein zufälliger Medienhype? Was macht ihn erfolgreich und wie verhält sich seine natürliche Dynamik? Bislang wurde der Begriff des Medienhypes oft mit dem des Mediensk

Overview: This book contains the proceedings of the International Symposium on Alternative and Advanced Automotive Engines, held in Vancouver, B.C., on August 11 and 12, 1986. The symposium was sponsored by EXPO 86 and The University of British Columbia, and was part of the specialized periods program of EXPO 86, the 1986 world‘s fair held in Vancouver. Some 80 attendees were drawn from 11 countries, representing the academic, auto­ motive and large engine communities. The purpose of the symposium was to provide a critical review of the major alternatives to the internal combustion engine. The

Overview: th These proceedings contain the refereed papers and posters presented at the 28 Annual European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR 2006), which was held at Imperial College London in South Kensington between April 10 and 12, 2006. ECIR is the annual conference of the British Computer Society’s Inf- mation Retrieval Specialist Group. The event started its life as a colloquium in 1978 and was held in the UK each year until 1998, when the event took place in Grenoble, France. Since then the venue has alternated between the UK and Continental Europe. In the last decade ECIR has g

Overview: Volume 5 of the series "Advances in Research on Neurodegeneration" is concerned with themes which are currently the focus of intensive research, and in which advances in our understanding of the pathological mechanisms un­ derlying neurodegenerative diseases are expected in the near future. The first section contains five reviews devoted to the various neuroimaging technolo­ gies. The discussion is concerned with the question of whether neuroimaging techniques make it possible to follow the process of degeneration as it occurs, and which methods offer the required sensitivity and qua

Overview: Brings together the discourses on equality, non-discrimination and collective rights.Takes an interdisciplinary approach of combining legal and political theory.Applies a holistic lens by addressing dThis book develops a critique of the equality paradigms and principles to be found in the majority of today’s legal orders. It accompanies the reader taking her/him/x from a critique of non-discrimination and equality to the ‘opposite’ end of the spectrum, that is, to collective rights, collectivization processes and a manifestation of recognition that is based on difference. This interd

Overview: As future generation information technology (FGIT) becomes specialized and fr- mented, it is easy to lose sight that many topics in FGIT have common threads and, because of this, advances in one discipline may be transmitted to others. Presentation of recent results obtained in different disciplines encourages this interchange for the advancement of FGIT as a whole. Of particular interest are hybrid solutions that c- bine ideas taken from multiple disciplines in order to achieve something more signi- cant than the sum of the individual parts. Through such hybrid philosophy, a new pri

Overview: In May of 1978, several hundred of the friends, colleagues and former students of Professor Herbert C. Brown gathered on the campus of Purdue University to note his formal retirement, to honor him for his past contributions to chemistry and to wish him continued success in research. It was a time of reunion and recollection, a time for looking back and giving recognition to a lifetime of accomplishment. There was the ceremony of a banquet, presided over with inimitable wit by Professor Derek Davenport, and the dedication of the Herbert C. Brown Archives, with addresses by Dr. Alfred

Overview: Throughout the history of mankind from primitive man to the present time, vitamin ddiciencies have been a major cause of death and disease. Pellagra, scurvy and beri-beri have decimated armies, ships‘ crews and even nations (Figure I). As late as 1925 the disease ‘pernicious‘ anaemia caused by the ab­ sence of vitamin Bl2 within a person‘s body really lived up to its name. Although there were isolated instances of recognition of dietary deficien­ cies even a thousand years ago, the importance of dietary factors in the gene­ sis of these diseases was more widely recognized from the ei
