Overview: The propagation of electromagnetic waves in "square-law" media, i.e., media characterized by a quadratic spatial variation of the dielectric constant, has been a favorite subject of investigation in electromagnetic theory. However, with the recent fabrication of glass fibers with a quadratic radial variation of the dielectric constant and the application of such fibers to optical imaging and communications, this subject has also assumed practical importance. Comparison of experimental results on propagation, resolu­ tion, and pulse distortion in such inhomogeneous waveguides with the

Overview: This volume contains the selected papers of the first I.D.M.M.E. conference on ‘Integrated Design and Manufacturing in Mechanical Engineering‘, held in Nantes from 15-17 April 1996. Its objective was to discuss the questions related to the definition of the optimal design and manufacturing processes and to their integration through coherent methodologies in adapted environments. The initiative of the Conference and the organization thereof, is mainly due to the efforts of the french PRIMECA group (Pool of Computer Resources for Mechanics) started eight years ago. We were able to attr

Overview: Investigating how heterarchical, agile organizations innovateCollectively led companies are considered more flexible, faster and more innovative. But how are innovations developed in heterarchical, that is non-hierarchical or agile organizations? What can we learn for classical innovation management and organizations? In a multiple case study approach, Sarah Schoellhammer describes the innovation practices of one small, two medium-sized and two large distinctive European heterarchies from different industries. Their non-hierarchical innovation mechanisms are analyzed across the five

Overview: A fascinating demonstration of how U.S. representations of veils, harems, and belly dancers have operated as nostalgic and exotic symbols to help rationalize dominant U.S. narratives about power and progress.978-0-230-10330-6978-0-230-61211-2

Overview: Opens up a variety of methods involving symmetries, and group theory in general, to an entirely new audience.For engineers: Introduction to a modern view of bifurcatoin theory by minimizing mathematicMany physical systems lose or gain stability and pattern through bifurca­ tion behavior. Extensive research of this behavior is carried out in many fields of science and engineering. The study of dynamic bifurcation be­ havior, for example, has made clear the mechanism of dynamic instability and chaos. The group-theoretic bifurcation theory is an established means to deal with the format

Overview: Die sich zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts etablierende "Lehre von den Ideen", die Ideologie, wurde - u.a. von Napoleon - als Metaphysik und Träumerei und damit als lügenähnliches Phänomen stigmatisiert...Die Beiträge aus den unterschiedlichsten Wissenschaftsdisziplinen zeigen, dass dies kein Zeichen der einsetzenden Moderne war, sondern dass Ideologien von jeher Wahrheitsansprüche formulierten, die im Verlauf ihrer Wirkungsgeschichte entweder als Irrtümer buchstäblich "Lügen gestraft" wurden oder von zeitgenössischen ideologischen Gegenentwürfen als solche bezeichnet wurden. Die Autore

Overview: This volume responds to the pressures facing higher education practitioners across the curriculum to support students’ development as mindful global citizens."Higher education is facing unprecedented change as today’s graduates need particular skills, awareness, and knowledge to successfully navigate a complex and interconnected world. Higher education institutions and practitioners are under pressure to be attentive to internationalization initiatives that support increasingly diverse student populations and foster the development of global citizenship competencies which include, “p

Overview: Enables companies to discuss and organize offshoring IT work to India and the opportunity to industrialize the IT delivery chain allowing countering cost pressures. Offshoring is considered as a lifecycle and the book provides a practical framework for assessing the offshore readiness and conducting a lean provider selection process.978-1-349-31939-8978-0-230-29126-3

Overview: Aufgrund der zunehmenden Miniaturisierung optischer und elektronischer Bauelemente bemüht man sich verstärkt, diese Elemente zu integrieren. Analog zur raschen Entwicklung integrierter Schaltkreise in der Mikroelektronik, zeichnet sich eine ähnliche Entwicklung in der Integrierten Optoelektronik ab. Das Werk ist eine umfassende Darstellung der Wellenleiteroptik und Photonik in den Halbleitersystemen AlGaAs und InGaAsP. Die Grundlagen der Wellenausbreitung und der optisch-elektrischen Wandlung in Laserdioden und Photodioden werden ausführlich behandelt. Der eingeführte einheitliche Fo

Overview: Aspirational talk has gained increasing research attention as a compelling concept theoretically explaining the potential of talk-action discrepancies in corporate responsibility communication to instigate organizational change. Under certain conditions, aspirational talk can facilitate discourse, agreement, reframing, and corporate reflexivity. However, perceived talk-action discrepancies can negatively affect organizational members, leading to disengagement, and demotivation, causing emotional exhaustion, exposing employees to vulnerabilities, and even catalyzing unethical or illic

Overview: Gives a uniform analysis for all occurences of the individuated form type.Takes into account cross-linguistic findings.Offers an explanation and application of clear criteria for identification of imp.Imperative clauses are recognized as one of the major clause types alongside those known as declarative and interrogative. Nevertheless, they are still an enigma in the study of meaning, which relies largely on either the concept of truth conditions or the concept of information growth—neither of which are easily applied to imperatives. This book puts forward a fresh perspective. It ana
