Overview: This book contains a collection of contributions related to the design and control of material flow systems in manufacturing. Material flow systems in manufacturing covers a broad spectrum of topics directly affecting issues related to facilities design, material handling and production planning and control. In selecting the papers to include in this book, the scope was limited to the design and operational control aspects related to the physical move­ ment of parts, tools, containers and material handling devices. Recent develop­ ments in this area naturally led to concentration on

Overview: Historische und theoretisch orientierte Darstellung.Analyse der Wahrnehmungsformen audiovisueller MedienVon der Vorgeschichte bis heute. Der Autor beschreibt die Geschichte audiovisueller Wahrnehmungsformen am Beispiel des Films unter produktionsästhetischen Aspekten wie Kamera, Montage und Film-"sprache". Er diskutiert die weitere audiovisuelle Entwicklung am Beispiel des Fernsehens, der elektronischen Medien und der Digitalisierung bis hin zu aktuellen Phänomenen wie Video-Clips und fragt nach einer Ästhetik virtueller Realität.978-3-476-01331-6978-3-476-03617-9

Overview: Provides a very novel perspective on petroleum hydrocarbons and microbiology.Discusses efficient microbiomes and their benefits in marine system, water bodies, human health, targeting global community.The book discusses ways to overcome the side effects of using hydrocarbon-based products as energy sources. Hydrocarbons produce raw crude oil waste of around 600,000 metric tons per annum, with a range of uncertainty of 200,000 metric tons per year. The various chapters in this book focus on approaches to reduce these wastes through the application of potential microbes, in a process c

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Developed and developing economies alike face increased resource scarcity and competitive rivalry. In this context, science and technology appear as an essential source of competitive and sustainable advantage at national and regional levels. However, the key determinant of their efficacy is the quality and quantity of entrepreneurship-enabled innovation that unlocks and captures the benefits of the science enterprise in the form of private, public or hybrid goods.  Linking basic and applied research with the market, via technology transfer and comme

Overview: This collection of articles aspires to be a permanent record of ideas which are likely to become important determinants in the future of management sciences. These papers were initially presented at the first session on Multiple Criteria Decision Making QMCDM) organized under the auspices of The Institute of Management Sciences (TIMS). All works were prepared by leading spokesmen for three generations of OR/MS change agents. Special mention must be made of the dynamic role which Professor Martin K. Starr played in organizing the program of the TIMS XXII International Meeting. In May,

Overview: Focuses on communication between interaction partners in the rhizosphere.Discusses agriculturally-applicable ideas , ‘omics, and mechanisms of inter-species communication.Presents clear syntheses of iThis book discusses the cross-talk between plants and microbes in the rhizosphere. The rhizosphere is the hotspot of microbial activities that influence plant growth and crop yield. The rhizosphere-residing microbes include the nitrogen-fixing rhizobia, mycorrhizal fungi, antibiotic-producing bacteria, antagonistic, plant-beneficial fungi, and entomopathogens. The three-way cross-talk am

Overview: Mediengeschichte/Die Rolle von Medien im Kontext des gesellschaftlichen Wandels rückt in das Zentrum von immer mehr Disziplinen und wissenschaftlichen Diskursen. Gesellschaftswandel kann - egal ob er Politik, Wirtschaft oder Kultur betrifft - ohne die Berücksichtigung von Medien und ihrer Rolle in der Geschichte kaum mehr angemessen verstanden werden. In dieser Situation, in der die unzureichende Berücksichtigung der Medien in den klassischen kultur- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen offen zu Tage tritt, leisten die Autorinnen und Autoren des Bandes eine medien- und kommunikat

Overview: This is a research-based book on mathematics teacher education. It is about the learning of prospective and inservice mathematics teachers, mathematics educators, and researchers. The text is intended for a broad audience including teacher educators, mathematics educators, graduate students in mathematics education, and mathematics teachers at all levels of schooling. In offering an examination of teacher education programs from different societies and cultures, this book provides an international perspective on mathematics teacher education. Practical situations associated with rela

Overview: Aims to teach linguistics to the reader but presumes only knowledge of mathematics at the undergraduate level.The material was hitherto available only in the research literature.Wide applicability in .Mathematical Linguistics introduces the mathematical foundations of linguistics to computer scientists, engineers, and mathematicians interested in natural language processing. The book presents linguistics as a cumulative body of knowledge from the ground up: no prior knowledge of linguistics is assumed...Previous textbooks in this area concentrate on syntax and semantics - this compre

Overview: Uses a rich set of ethnographic data collected through an extended fieldwork in Sicily.Addresses the emerging area of research on migrant farmworkers in the southern Mediterranean, which is still unde.This book provides a fine-grained ethnographic examination of the everyday negotiations and conflicts taking place in greenhouses and packinghouses in an agricultural district in south-eastern Italy (Sicily). In a highly competitive global scenario, driven by multinational corporations and large retailers, small and medium-sized farms largely rely on migrant labour to fill their demand

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Partial differential equations and variational methods were introduced into image processing about 15 years ago, and intensive research has been carried out since then. The main goal of this work is to present the variety of image analysis applications and the precise mathematics involved. It is intended for two audiences. The first is the mathematical community, to show the contribution of mathematics to this domain and to highlight some unresolved theoretical questions. The second is the computer vision community, to present a clear, self-contained,

Overview: This volume contains most of the contributions presented at the conference "Mathematical Learning Models - Theory and Algorithms". The conference was organized by the Institute of Applied Mathematics of the University of Bonn under the auspices of the Sonderforschungs­ bereich 72. It took place in the Physikzentrum in Bad Honnef near to Bonn from May 3 - May 7, 1982. The idea of the organizers was to bring together experts who work on very related problems, but partially by using different approaches. The main subjects of the program were: - mathematical learning models, - bandit pro

Overview: The matrix isolation (MI) method has now been used for nearly thirty years. During this period it has been actively developed and the range of problems tackled greatly extended. Originally it was used for studies of transient species involv­ ing vibrational, electronic and ESR spectroscopy. Nowadays the study of transient species forms a comparatively small part of HI work since it has been amply demonstrated that very fruitful information can be obtained of the structure and interactions of stable molecules and their aggregates. In addition to the s~ectroscopic methods mentioned abo
