Overview: This volume contains expanded and updated versions of paperspresented at CIKM 92, the First International Conference onInformation and KnowledgeManagement, held in Baltimore,Maryland, in November 1992. The conference participants camefrom the fields of database management, informationretrieval, and artificial intelligence. A major theme inthevolume is how these fields are merging and enriching eachother. Theeight papers discuss: discovering context in aconceptual schema; a systemfor face information retrieval;queries in OODB systems; consistencychecking in OODBs;integrity constraints

Overview: Infopreneurs looks beyond and beneath the hyperbole that currently surrounds Information Technology. Analysing many case studies, the book establishes that none of the more widely publicised methods have managed to create one strategically significant system. The true key lies within people with unique skills and knowledge who can bring IT and business together. Infopreneurs shows managers how to find these individuals in their organisation and how to facilitate their efforts and deploy their unique skills.978-1-349-13401-4978-1-349-13399-4

Overview: Fotografieren im Kontext der Identitätsbildung am Beispiel von älteren MigrantinnenAusgangslage der Arbeit sind verallgemeinerte Darstellungen über Migrantinnen und ihre in der Regel als rückständig beschriebenen Herkunftskulturen, mit denen u.a. soziale Ungleichheiten legitimiert werden, sowie die in der Öffentlichkeit vermittelte Annahme, dass sich so genannte Parallelgesellschaften bilden. Für die Arbeit haben Migrantinnen aus verschiedenen Herkunftskulturen fotografiert. Zu ihren Bildern wurden so genannte Fotointerviews geführt, in denen die Fotografinnen ihre eigenen Bilder erl

Overview: Multinational enterprises have played a crucial role in postwar international economic integration. They have promoted intra-firm trade, technology transfer and internal movements of capital and human resources. This important book provides wide-ranging new evidence on their role in globalising the service sector - especially financial services - in establishing international networks of R & D and in developing trade and investment linkages in Asia. Particular attention is given to the participation of multinationls in management contracts and joint ventures, and the significance of

Overview: "Wir wenden uns vor allem an die Lehrer . . . und wollen ihnen die Mittel für die neue Arbeit bereitstellen, darüber hinaus aber alle Menschen sammeln, die guten Willens sind und der gewaltlosen Macht des Geistes vertrauen. " (Herman Nohl 1 1945 ) Aus der Fülle der inzwischen unter der Bezeichnung Interkulturelle Erziehung diskutierten pädagogisch praktischen und theoretischen Probleme soll hier eine zentrale Fragestellung herausgehoben und zu einer möglichen Lösung gebracht werden: Wie kann zu einem verantwortlichen und vernünftigen Umgang der Angehörigen von Mehrheit und Minderheit

Overview: The challenge in the post crisis world is how business, government and academia come together to foster conditions for sustainable economic development. Understanding this requires an examination of the fundamental principles of IB, including location decisions, returns to multinationality and links between government and business, and CSR.978-1-349-47443-1978-1-137-36720-4Series ISSN 2662-1223 Series E-ISSN 2662-1231

Overview: Das Lehrbuch entstand im Rahmen der Vorlesung "Informatik im Maschinenbau" an der RWTH Aachen. Sein Ziel ist, Maschinenbaustudenten zu vermitteln - für welche Zwecke - unter welchen Bedingungen - mit welchen Folgen Rechnersysteme im Rahmen der Lösung von Ingenieurproblemen eingesetzt werden können. Besonderer Wert wurde dabei auf die Darlegung des Zusammenhangs zwischen den Konzepten der Informatik und ihrer Anwendung in der Industriepraxis gelegt. Das Lehrbuch wendet sich in erster Linie an Studenten des Maschinenbaus im Grundstudium.978-3-540-57508-5978-3-642-57954-7Series ISSN 093

Overview: "Nanotechnology" is now very well known as one of the most important key technologies in science and industry. In the field of material science and engineering, nanoparticles should be unit materials, as well as atoms and molecules, to build ceramics, devices, catalysts, and machines, and the "nanoparticle technology" is thus attracting. This novel technology includes various methodologies for nanoparticles: preparation, surface-modification via chemical and/or physical treatments, immobilization and arrangement on supports or substrates, to achieve high performance for luminescence

Overview: Insights into dealing with and responding to over-indebtedness and insolvency.Strategies for maintaining middle class membership.First implementation of a qualitative longitudinal study in this target.The authors examine identity strategies of middle-class couples who come under pressure of over-indebtedness. Based on biographical interviews collected in a qualitative panel study in three waves, they explore the question of how identity is worked on in the couple and how identity changes when social decline threatens. The theory-generating analysis brings out patterns of coping with

Overview: The past year has produced some of the most exciting results in the history of astronomy, particularly in the area of planets outside our solar system. Only a half-year before our meeting in Toledo, Spain, the first unambiguous detection of planet-sized masses orbiting main sequence stars were reported. Since that time, evidence for a new exo­ planet has been reported almost at the rate of about once per month. Some of these objects are likely to turn out to be very low-mass stars, but something like half show characteristics - Jupiter-like mass and near-zero orbital eccentricity - w

Overview: Describes the invertebrates of diverse wetlands around the world.Provides a primer on freshwater wetland invertebrates, including how they are uniquely adapted for life in wetland environments and how.Wetlands are among the world’s most valuable and most threatened habitats, and in these crucially important ecosystems, the invertebrate fauna holds a focal position. Most of the biological diversity in wetlands is found within resident invertebrate assemblages, and those invertebrates are the primary trophic link between lower plants and higher vertebrates (e.g. amphibians, fish, and b
