Overview: Obwohl der Pflichtenkreis des Aufsichtsrats seit der Jahrtausendwende umfassend erweitert wurde (sog. Professionalisierung) und obwohl die gesetzliche Abschlussprüfung im Zuge der europäischen Reform der Abschlussprüfung von 2014 in nahezu allen Facetten tiefgreifend reformiert wurde, offenbarte die Insolvenz des seinerzeit im DAX 30 gelisteten Zahlungsdienstleistungsunternehmens Wirecard im Jahr 2020 ein davon scheinbar unberührt fortbestehendes Defizit der aktienrechtlichen Unternehmensüberwachung in Deutschland. Die Arbeit ist darauf gerichtet, die konzeptionelle Ausgestaltung der

Overview: This volume is a state-of-the-art introduction to and survey on adaptive networks, combining aspects of the evolution of networks and dynamics on networks.Includes supplementary material: Adding one and one makes two, usually. But sometimes things add up to more than the sum of their parts. This observation, now frequently expressed in the maxim “more is different”, is one of the characteristic features of complex systems and, in particular, complex networks. Along with their ubiquity in real world systems, the ability of networks to exhibit emergent dynamics, once they reach a certa

Overview: Assumes no background in abstract algebra or real analysis.Contains a number of examples and exercises.Is based on years of classroom testing.Algebraic Topology. is an introductory textbook based on a class for advanced high-school students at the Stanford University Mathematics Camp (SUMaC) that the authors have taught for many years. Each chapter, or lecture, corresponds to one day of class at SUMaC. The book begins with the preliminaries needed for the formal definition of a surface. Other topics covered in the book include the classification of surfaces, group theory, the fundame

Overview: Recontextualizes prominent texts in intellectual and philosophical history in terms of animal studies.Sets forth a methodology for reading literature as an “animalist”.Contributes to understanding of .Animal Perception and Literary Language. shows that the perceptual content of reading and writing derives from our embodied minds. Donald Wesling considers how humans, evolved from animals, have learned to code perception of movement into sentences and scenes. The book first specifies terms and questions in animal philosophy and surveys recent work on perception, then describes attribut

Overview: This book is one of the finest I have ever read. To write a foreword for· it is an honor, difficult to accept. Everyone knows that architects and master masons, long before there were mathematical theories, erected structures of astonishing originality, strength, and beauty. Many of these still stand. Were it not for our now acid atmosphere, we could expect them to stand for centuries more. We admire early architects‘ visible success in the distribution and balance of thrusts, and we presume that master masons had rules, perhaps held secret, that enabled them to turn architects‘ bold

Overview: Addresses the Flint water crisis as a philosophical problem.Provides a novel phenomenological-sociological methodology that researchers can further utilize.Incorporates Isaac Ariail Reed’s theory of pThis text develops a novel methodology for social investigation into the Flint (Michigan, USA) water crisis by using classical Husserlian phenomenology as its point of departure. To develop a proper method in a case like this, the author uses as primary data the experiences of the affected community. The text investigates philosophically how a water crisis happens as well as the structur

Overview: The theme and scope of the Chronology focus on the life (in bare outline) and publications (in temporal order) of John Ruskin (1819-1900). As art-critic, social commentator, architectural scholar, geologist, botanist, water-colourist, lecturer, letter-writer and prose stylist, Ruskin stands forth as perhaps the pre-eminent Victorian polymath. His advocacy of art and artists, his courage in the face of hostile, uninformed criticism and his enlightened compassionate views of the human condition reveal Ruskin as ‘not of an age but for all time‘. These attributes the Chronology endeavour

Overview: .This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Augmented Intelligence and Intelligent Tutoring Systems, ITS 2023, held in Corfu, Greece, during June 2-5, 2023...The 41 full papers and 19 short papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 84 submissions.

Overview: This book is about the nature of scientific theory. The central topicic of inquiry concerns how it is that theories are able to supply us with powerful and elegant explanations of puzzling phenomena that often confront the scientist and layman alike. It is argued that an answer to this question supplies us with an account of how theories achieve a variety of tasks such as the prediction and organization of data, including how they support a very important class of claims known int he literature as counterfactual conditionals. The book begins by presenting a critical survey of past, c

Overview: Host-directed therapy is a unique, innovative, and burgeoning new approach for the treatment of infectious diseases, and specifically for tuberculosis, the leading cause of death by a single infectiouThis book discusses specific immune cell regulatory  pathway(s), immune cell types,  or other mechanisms involved in host responses to tuberculosis that can be potentially targeted for host-directed therapy (HDT). The pathways/mechanisms investigated are either protective – thus calling for pathway/factor enhancing drugs – or maladaptive – thus calling for pathway/factor inhibitory drugs

Overview: Most recent volume in the Advances in Digital Forensics seriesIn 2006, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) processed more than two petabytes of digital evidence; in 2007, the volume of digital evidence processed will exceed four petabytes. Electronic devices are becoming smaller and more diverse; memory capacities are increasing according to Moore‘s Law; distributed networks are growing massively in size and scale. As society embraces new technologies and applications with gusto, digital information will become even more pervasive. Digital investigations already involve searchi

Overview: In many ways this book is a team effort. Many people have helped me in writing it. Firstly, I thank my wife who read the manuscript twice correcting grammatical errors and spelling and clarifying many sentences. Secondly, I thank friends and colleagues at St. Mary‘s Hospital, including Mrs Jean Emerson, Renal Unit Social Worker and Mrs June Morgan, Senior Dietician, both of whom contributed technical information; Sisters Christine Holmes and Malinie Polpitiye who read and criticized some chapters; Miss Mary Williams, Mr Robert Minor and Mr Richard Viner who as patients read some sect
