Overview: Der wirtschaftliche Aufschwung muß uns darin be­ stärken, die Unternehmensentwicklung voranzu­ treiben. Langfristig erfolgreiche Unternehmen er­ kennen die Zeichen der Zeit und bauen konsequent wettbewerbsfähige Organisationsstrukturen für ein turbulenter werdendes Umfeld auf. Um den An­ forderungen des Marktes zu genügen, gilt es, das Dogma festgefügter, zentralistischer Organisations­ konzepte zugunsten ganzheitlicher, dynamischer Organisationsstrukturen zu brechen. Einige Unternehmen haben dies bereits erfolgreich gemeistert, andere sind auf dem Weg dazu. An vielen Stellen geht da

Overview: Spielen ist fiktional – genauso wie Literatur. Kinder wissen, dass ihre gespielte Wirklichkeit nicht real ist. In der Literatur ist es ähnlich: Autor*innen erzeugen fiktionale Welten; ihre Leser*innen lassen sich auf dieses Fiktionsspiel ein. In diesem Band geht es erstmals darum, wie sich das Spiel und die Begegnung mit Literatur wechselseitig stützen. Beiträge aus erziehungswissenschaftlicher, spielpädagogischer und literaturdidaktischer Perspektive stellen zunächst grundsätzliche Annahmen und den jeweils aktuellen Forschungsstand zum Thema Spiel und Literatur vor. Dabei wird das g

Overview: Vivid, intuitionally appealing representation of the Fourier transform.Complex mathematical relationships illustrated by a large number of graphics.Gradual and easily comprehensible development of the.The authors explain the Fourier transform and its technical applications, especially in signal and system theory. Based on their many years of teaching experience, they aim at helping especially STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) students as well as graduated professionals to better understand the subject. The authors also point out the importance of a deeper under

Overview: There is no monograph devoted to this subject and in a sense this collection of original papers is an equivalent to such a bookA traditional way to honor distinguished scientists is to combine collections of papers solicited from friendly colleagues into dedicatory volumes. To honor our friend and colleague Mort Gurtin on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday, we followed a surer path to produce a work of intrinsic and lasting scientific value: We collected pa­ pers that we deemed seminal in the field of evolving phase interfaces in solids, a field to which Mort Gurtin himself has

Overview: Provides a mathematically rigorous formulation of both the path integral and the operator calculus in the manner intended by Feynman.Unifies the theory of partial differential equations with time-depe.This book provides the mathematical foundations for Feynman‘s operator calculus and for the Feynman path integral formulation of quantum mechanics as a natural extension of analysis and functional analysis to the infinite-dimensional setting.   In one application, the results are used to prove the last two remaining conjectures of Freeman Dyson for quantum electrodynamics.  In another a

Overview: Zum Stand der feministischen MedienforschungFeministische Medienforschung ist in den letzten Jahren zu einem wichtigen Bestandteil kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Forschung geworden. Der Band greift zentrale Aspekte des expandierenden Forschungsfeldes auf und bietet damit einen guten Einblick in die aktuelle Diskussion innerhalb der feministischen Medienforschung. Zu Beginn des Bandes steht eine philosophische Reflexion des Geschlechterbegriffs, der nach wie vor die Grundlage einer feministischen Betrachtung von Kommunikations- und Medienprozessen bildet. Die weiteren Beiträge disku

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This SpringerBrief explores graphical password systems and examines novel drawing-based methods in terms of security, usability, and human computer-interactions. It provides a systematic approach for recognizing, comparing, and matching sketch-based passwords in the context of modern computing systems. The book offers both a security and usability analysis of the accumulative framework used for incorporating handwriting biometrics and a human computer-interaction performance analysis. The chapters offer new perspectives and experimental results regard

Overview: Establishes facilitation as an important yet underreported component of visual sociological research.Explores facilitation practices as the topic of inquiry.Argues that research facilitation must go bThis edited collection seeks to enrich the dialogue about the expansive possibilities of visual sociological research facilitation. Although facilitating ethical research has long been identified within medical research literatures, there is a dearth of distinct perspectives and voices in academic theorizing when it comes to facilitating ethical research. For example, how can researchers

Overview: Verständliche, verlässliche Fachinformationen zu Frankreich in vergleichender Perspektive.Greift aktualitätsbezogen wichtige Themen auf.Ermöglicht deutsch-sprachigen Zugang zu Forschung in FrankreichDas vorliegende Frankreich Jahrbuch gibt einen Überblick über soziale und territoriale Unterschiede in Deutschland und Frankreich. Diese betreffen die Lebensrealität einzelner Bevölkerungsgruppen ebenso wie den Zugang zu Dienstleistungen des täglichen Lebens und der öffentlichen Daseinsvorsorge. Ausgangspunkt ist Frankeich, wo das Thema verbunden mit der Gelbwestenbewegung ins Zentrum pol

Overview: Identifies solutions for analysis of surface roughness based on four different machining processes.Includes supplementary material: The concept of fractals is often considered to describe surface roughness. Fractals retain all the structural information and are characterized by a single descriptor, the fractal dimension, D. Fractal dimension is an intrinsic property of the surface and independent of the filter processing of measuring instrument as well as the sampling length scale. This book cover fractal analysis of surface roughness in different machining processes such as Computer

Overview: Describes the fundamental problems in modern astrophysics that cannot progress without easy and wide-spread access to modern UV instrumentation.Modern astrophysics is a mature science that has evolved from its early phase of discovery and classification to a physics-oriented discipline focused on finding answers to fundamental problems ranging from cosmology to the origin and diversity of life-sustainable systems in the Universe. For this very reason, progress of modern astrophysics requires access to the electromagnetic spectrum in the broadest energy range. The Ultraviolet is a fun

Overview: Intended for engineers from a variety of disciplines that deal with structural materials - Describes the current state of knowledge of how fractures in materials form and propagate, leading to failureIntended for engineers from a variety of disciplines that deal with structural materials, this text describes the current state of knowledge of how fractures in materials form and propagate, leading to failure. The book begins by describing the fracture process at the two extremes of scale: first in the context of atomic structures, then in terms of a continuous elastic medium. Treating
