Overview: Maintaining the innovation capabilities of firms, employees and institutions is a key component for the generation of sustainable growth, employment, and high income in industrial societies. Gaining insights into the German innovation system and the institutional framework is as important to policy making as is data on the endowment of the German economy with factors fostering innovation and their recent development. Germany‘s Federal Ministry of Education and Research has repeatedly commissioned reports on the competitive strength of the German innovation system since the mid-eighti

Overview: Wissen rund um Diagnosis Related Groups.Kompilation kritischer Bewertungen des DRG-Systems.Analysen an der Schnittstelle von Wissenschaft, Politik und Praxis.Vor 15 Jahren wurde die Krankenhausvergütung auf ein DRG-Fallpauschalensystem umgestellt (DRG: Diagnosis Related Groups). Das DRG-System wird seitdem im Krankenhausbereich, in Politik und Wissenschaft kontrovers diskutiert. Dieser Sammelband fasst kritische Perspektiven auf das DRG-System zusammen. Er wendet sich an Expertinnen und Experten aus Politik, Wissenschaft und Verbänden sowie allgemein an Personen, die sich mit der Ges

Overview: In 1968 the first contacts were arranged with the publishing house of Urban & Schwarzenberg concerning the establishment of a periodical to be produced in English with the aim of publishing important scientific work in pediatric surgery and related disciplines. I thought especially of certain excellent inaugural disser­ tations and theses. When Urban & Schwarzenberg promised to start such a series, I recruited Peter Rickham, then in Liverpool and now in Zurich, and Jean Prevot of Nancy as executive editors. We chose the title Progress in Pediatric Surgery - Fortschritte del‘ Kinderch

Overview: Der Handel hat jahrhundertelang in der Volksmeinung, aber auch im Urteil der gebildeten Welt, eine zwielichtige Stellung eingenommen. Die uralten Vorstel­ lungen von der "Unproduktivität" des bloßen Handelns ohne sichtbare materielle Produktionsleistung beherrschen auch heute noch weite Kreise. Die Öffentlich­ keit erbost sich immer wieder über die "zu hohen" Handelsspannen, über den betrügerischen Kaufmann. Diese negative Beurteilung ist deutlich in der sozialen Einschätzung dieses Standes zu bemerken. Der Begriff des "ehrbaren Kaufmanns" ist geradezu der Ausdruck dafür, daß man die

Overview: Covers both theory and experiments on wave propagation in metamaterials.Describes new formulations of acoustic fields in materials.Offers an essential reference guide for researchers and practitionersThis book highlights the symmetry properties of acoustic fields and describes the gauge invariance approach, which can be used to reveal those properties. Symmetry is the key theoretical framework of metamaterials, as has been demonstrated by the successful fabrication of acoustical metamaterials..  .The book first provides the necessary theoretical background, which includes the covaria

Overview: This volume contains the invited papers and a transcript of the final panel discussion in the First Scientific Conference of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (lGAC) Project, held in Eilat, Israel from April 18-22, 1993. The conference was hosted by the Israeli Institute for Biological Research (IIBR) and was the 37th in the prestigious OHOLO Conference series in Israel. The conference was devoted to the subject of "Global Atmospheric-Biospheric Chemistry" and was a landmark event in this area. It provided the first comprehensive report of progress under IGAC toward impr

Overview: Gleichstellungspolitik in Wissenschaft und HochschuleGender equality has been on the agenda of national policies of higher education within and outside the European Union (EU) for the last twenty years. In some European countries, this process was initiated early on and has brought about remarkable results, while in others progress has been slower. Different countries and institutions have focussed on different strategies for raising awareness about the discrimination of women and for increasing the number of women in aca- mia, particularly in leadership positions.

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-51900-0978-3-642-51962-8

Overview: I am very happy to accept the translators‘ invitation to write a few lines of introduction to this book. Of course, there is little need to explain the author. Pauli‘s first famous work, his article on the theory of relativity in the Encyklopädie der Mathematischen Wissenschaften was written at the age of twenty. He afterwards took part in the development of atomic physics from the still essentially classical picture of Bohr‘s early work to the true quantum mechanics. Thereafter, some of his work concerned the treatment of problems in the framework of the new theory, especially his p
