Overview: When asked why he robbed banks, an astute and success­ ful criminal is said to have replied "Because that‘s where the money is kept." Why study patients with multiple primary cancers? The answer follows the same practical approach. Because the intensive investigation of such patients is very likely to yield data useful to both the clinical and research on­ cologist. Studies of this problem provide an immediate return for the clinician responsible for the care of cancer patients. With improved forms of therapy, these individuals are enjoying longer periods of survival. One important f

Overview: Explores the integrity of equity markets.Features discussions and research from leading economists, financial market strategists, traders and exchange representatives.Explores such issues as the excha.This book explores the integrity of equity markets, addressing such issues as the exchange vs. customer perspective on price discovery and the ways market participants deal with key regulatory concerns. Do market practitioners pass the integrity test? How does “market integrity” play out globally? What is the overall veracity of the marketplace? These are some of the key questions consi

Overview: Extends the concept of “moral ecology” developed by Karl Jacoby to case studies across Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia and the Americas.Examines how conservation efforts dispossess local populations, This book offers the first systematic study of how elite conservation schemes and policies define once customary and vernacular forms of managing common resources as banditry—and how the ‘bandits’ fight back. Drawing inspiration from Karl Jacoby’s seminal .Crimes against Nature., this book takes Jacoby’s moral ecology and extends the concept beyond the founding of American national parks

Overview: Methoden und Instrumente - mit nationalen und internationalen FallstudienNetzwerkmanagement ist ein ebenso zentraler wie anspruchsvoller Bereich der Projekt- und Unternehmensführung. Die vorhandenen Strategien und Konzepte, die die Wissenschaft vermittelt, werden den vielseitigen Anforderungen der Praxis bisher jedoch kaum gerecht. .."Modernes Netzwerkmanagement" sensibilisiert für die Probleme und bietet adäquate Methoden zur Lösung. Wissenschaftler und Praktiker tragen in ihren Beiträgen der Komplexität des Themas Rechnung: Nationale und internationale Fallstudien vermitteln zunäch

Overview: The purpose of this publication is two-fold. In the first place it is intended to review progress in the development of practical stabilising systems for a wide range of polymers and applications. A complemen­ tary and ultimately more important objective is to accommodate these practical developments within the framework of antioxidant theory, since there can be little question that further major advances in the practice of stabilisation technology will only be possible on a firm mechanistic foundation. With the continual increase in the number of commercial anti­ oxidants and stabil

Overview: Overview of the physics of nanomagnetic sensors, devices and logic elements.World leading competence is concentrated on experimental methods and theory of the rapidly developing field of nanomagnetismNanomagnetism and spintronics is a rapidly expanding and increasingly important field of research with many applications already on the market and many more to be expected in the near future. This field started in the mid-1980s with the discovery of the GMR effect, recently awarded with the Nobel prize to Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg. The present volume covers the most important and mo

Overview: The first authoritative volume dedicated to technology in advanced heart failure.Offers a broad overview of the current technology.Gives the expertise of dozens of experts in the fieldMore than 6 million Americans suffer from heart failure - about 10% of those patients suffer from advanced heart failure. These patients can no longer be treated with conventional heart therapies and symptom management strategies. As a result, a more targeted and invasive technique needs to be discussed and decided between the patient and their doctor. .​This book describes the current state of the art

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.978-3-662-36447-5

Overview: Zusammenfassend kann gesagt werden, daß es grundsätzlich möglich ist, Schmutz­ partikel, deren Wichte sich von der Flüssigkeit der Waschlauge unterscheidet, von dieser bis zu einem gewissen Grade zu trennen. In einem Versuchsmodell konnte unter optimalen Bedingungen bei stark ver­ schmutzter Wäsche bis zu 25% des aus der Lauge ausschleuderbaren Schmutzes in einem Laugenbehälter zurückbehalten werden. Trotzdem muß der Nutzeffekt als verhältnismäßig gering angesehen werden, da es sich um grobe Verunreini­ gungen handelt, die nur bei ganz stark verschmutzter Wäsche vorhanden sind. In de

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .This Festschrift volume has been published in honor of Ed Brinksma, on the occasion of his 60th birthday..The contributions in this Festschrift are written by a number of Ed‘s former Ph.D. students and collaborators. The papers are a reflection on his research contributions and interests and all fall into the area of formal methods, or in Ed‘s terminology applied mathematics in computer science.. .The papers address modeling languages and semantics, model-based testing, verification and performance analysis, probabilistic computation, system dynamics

Overview: This book addresses the macroeconomic implications of a country‘s transition to a monetary union. By using a dynamic multi-country simulation model, it is possible to pinpoint a monetary union, .and. repercussions produced by fiscal retrenchment policies. Interest and exchange rate effects could only be captured once a new approach including innovations in the solution methodology had been developed. Not only can we draw lessons for newly joining members to the EMU or to any other monetary union, but the analysis also implicitly offers a new explanation for the weak Euro in the first

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Business process modeling plays an important role in the management of business processes. As valuable design artifacts, business process models are subject to quality considerations. The absence of formal errors such as deadlocks is of paramount importance for the subsequent implementation of the process...In his book Jan Mendling develops a framework for the detection of formal errors in business process models and the prediction of error probability based on quality attributes of these models (metrics). He presents a precise description of Event-d
