Overview: ​Der Medienjournalismus als fachjournalistische Disziplin ist landläufig mit einem Nischenstempel behaftet. Seit seinen Anfängen als klassische Medienseite in (überregionalen) Tageszeitungen hat er sich stark ausdifferenziert und tritt mit neuen Angebotsformen inzwischen verstärkt im Social Web auf. Die Forschungsarbeit systematisiert und reflektiert erstmals Innovationsstrukturen im öffentlich-rechtlichen Medienjournalismus. In Leitfadeninterviews gewähren Medienjournalist*innen von ARD und Deutschlandradio Einblicke in ihre (innovative) Programmgestaltung und formateigenen Zielgrup

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .In times of global markets, increasing competition and short product life cycles the effective and efficient management of industrial research and development (R and D) activities is of central importance for companies as well as for the whole economy. Traditionally the resources for R and D projects are allocated via planning- and budgeting procedures, evaluation methods and hierarchical decision-committees. This book presents resource allocation via internal markets as an alternative to such hierarchical decision procedures. It appears that the imp

Overview: Beginning with a widespread definition of Decadence as when individual parts flourish at the expense of the whole, Regenia Gagnier - a leading cultural historian of late nineteenth-century Britain - shows the full range of meanings of individualism at the height of its promise.978-1-349-31995-4978-0-230-27754-0Series ISSN 2947-0188 Series E-ISSN 2947-0196

Overview: Comprehensively reviews advances in potassium science and potash fertilizer management.Provides a conceptual framework for future improvements.This open access book highlights concepts discussed at two international conferences that brought together world-renowned scientists to advance the science of potassium (K) recommendations for crops. There was general agreement that the potassium recommendations currently in general use are oversimplified, outdated, and jeopardize soil, plant, and human health. ..Accordingly, this book puts forward a significantly expanded K cycle that more ac

Overview: Demonstrates a concise conceptual explanation of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) from an industry and academic perspective.Explores current topics in the international practice of PPPs including conf.This book discusses how Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is practiced in developed and developing economies. The book demonstrates how PPP as a concept has grown over the years with many governments particularly from developing economies/countries seeking to enhance infrastructure growth and development through this scheme. Further, the book explores how PPP has become the major infrast

Overview: With his work, Martin Nebe provides principal insights into the mechanical response of composite pressure vessels subjected to internal pressure. By establishing and validating an in situ characterization methodology, the vessel’s geometry, its deformation behavior and the damage evolution process under internal pressure loading become accessible. This not only permits to trace back certain phenomena related to the manufacturing of these components but also allows to verify analytical and numerical modeling strategies. The exercised correlation of predicted and experimental results d

Overview: The aim of stochastic programming is to find optimal decisions in problems which involve uncertain data. This field is currently developing rapidly with contributions from many disciplines including operations research, mathematics, and probability. Conversely, it is being applied in a wide variety of subjects ranging from agriculture to financial planning and from industrial engineering to computer networks. This textbook provides a first course in stochastic programming suitable for students with a basic knowledge of linear programming, elementary analysis, and probability. The aut

Overview: Zur Gentechnik-Debatte in den MedienIn den Auseinandersetzungen um die Gentechnik spielen neben sachlichen und normativen Aspekten "Inszenierungen" eine entscheidende Rolle. Es geht nicht nur um Werturteile und Weltanschauungen, es geht auch um Einfluss, Durchsetzung, um Prestige und letztendlich um Geld und Märkte. Durch Kampagnen, durch Medien, Werbung und in Ausstellungen wird mit Mitteln der Rhetorik und Ästhetik versucht, aufzuklären, Meinungen zu bilden, zu manipulieren und zu überzeugen. Schwerpunkte dieses Bandes bilden Analysen und Erfahrungen über die Rolle von "Inszenierun
