Overview: This book is devoted to the PSI method. Its appearance was a reaction to the unsatisfactory situation in applications of optimization methods in engineering. After comprehensive testing of the PSI method in various fields of machine engineering it has become obvious that this method substantially surpasses all other available techniques in many respects. It has now become known that the PSI method is successfully used not only in machine design, at which it was initially aimed, but also in polymer chemistry, pharmacy, nuclear energy, biology, geophysics, and many other fields of huma

Overview: Research monograph for researchers and graduate students in Mathematics and Mathematical Physics.Most comprehensive work about the topic.Use of technique, developed by the author during more than 40 y.The prime goal of this monograph, which comprises a total of five volumes, is to derive sharp spectral asymptotics for broad classes of partial differential operators using techniques from semiclassical microlocal analysis, in particular, propagation of singularities, and to subsequently use the variational estimates in “small” domains to consider domains with singularities of different

Overview: In an increasingly mobile world with mounting concerns about the states‘ control of borders and migration, passports and citizenship rights matter more than ever. This book asks what citizenship ceremonies can tell us about how citizenship is understood through empirical research in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and Ireland.978-1-349-43415-2978-1-137-00321-8Series ISSN 2947-6100 Series E-ISSN 2947-6119

Overview: Internationale Vergleichsstudien deuten darauf hin, dass eine Förderung mathematisch besonders begabter Schüler*innen nicht immer optimal gelingt; eine mögliche Ursache dafür können Schwierigkeiten bei ihrer Identifikation sein. Moritz Zehnder untersucht in der vorliegenden Arbeit daher, welche mathematischen Fähigkeiten Indikatoren für eine besondere mathematische Begabung in den Jahrgangsstufen 9 und 10 darstellen. Im Anschluss an eine Klärung des Begabungsbegriffs leitet er fünf potenziell auf eine besondere mathematische Begabung hinweisende Fähigkeiten ab, deren Eignung als Indi

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie?.Includes supplementary material: ​In SOS-Kinderdörfern weltweit leben und arbeiten Frauen, die als Mütter für (Sozial-)Waisen sorgen. Hier bietet sich die einmalige Gelegenheit, die Verberuflichung von Mutterschaft empirisch zu untersuchen. Im Rahmen einer Feldforschung in Österreich und Bolivien analysiert Sarah Speck die Praxis dieser Einrichtungen. Das Kernstück ihrer qualitativen Studie bildet die fallrekonstruktive Auswertung von Interviews mit SOS-Kinderdorfmüttern. Des Weiteren geht die Autorin der Frage nach, was geschieht, wenn spezifische Vor

Overview: The interplay of host and virus represents one of the most significant frontiers in biology today.Provides a clearer understanding of the mechanisms involved to arm us with better strategies to deal w.This book is an excellent, up-to-date reference on a relatively young area of research in which virology, cellular biology and molecular pathogenesis govern the principles of coinvestigation. Thus, the book will be of great interest to virologists, molecular immunologists and biologists, and biochemists but also to clinical pharmacologists in the long-term search for new antiviral agent

Overview: Revisits multinational management strategy with a renewed focus on Asian market leaders.Presents a case-based analysis of topics, with cases from companies such as Alibaba, Lenovo, Panasonic among oth.This casebook demonstrates that the future of global business lies in how well the multinational landscape is charted and how the importance of Asian market leaders is deeply embedded in it. It offers international management students and researchers an extensive guide to the business history, strategy development, and foreign market entry modes used by emerging Asian multinationals. Th

Overview: Explains systematic mathematical procedures for detecting and correcting latent system flaws.Positions system safety engineering (SSE) as an early design-phase function rather than an afterthought.TreThis graduate-level textbook elucidates low-risk and fail-safe systems in mathematical detail.  It addresses, in particular, problems where mission-critical performance is paramount, such as in aircraft, missiles, nuclear reactors and weapons, submarines, and many other types of systems where “failure” can result in overwhelming loss of life and property. The book is divided into four pa

Overview: Develops theory based on studies of ‘old’ and well established hybrid organizational and forms.Includes multidisciplinary perspectives from scholars in management, organization studies, social anthrop.A much-needed addition to literature, this timely edited collection aims to provide clarity and understanding on how modern organizations work. The authors explore the characteristics of hybrid organizations in contemporary society, taking into account the complex societal challenges that face businesses today. Arguing that hybrid organizations are in fact not a new phenomenon, this tho

Overview: Materiality and Space focuses on how organizations and managing are bound with the material forms and spaces through which humans act and interact at work. It concentrates on organizational practices and pulls together three separate domains that are rarely looked at together: sociomateriality, sociology of space, and social studies of technology. The contributions draw on and combine several of these domains, and propose analyses of spaces and materiality in a range of organizational practices such as collaborative workspaces, media work, urban management, e-learning environments, m
