Overview: Operations Research (OR) emerged in an effort to improve the effectiveness of newly inducted weapons and equipment during World War II. While rapid growth ofOR led to its becoming an important aid to decision making in all sectors including defense, its contribution in defense remained largely confined to classified reports. Very few books dealing with applications of quantitative decision making techniques in military have been published presumably due to limited availability ofrelevant information. The situation changed rapidly during the last few years. The recognition of the subj

Overview: About 50 illustrations.Main diagnostics criteria Etiology and pathogenesis of malignant effusion.Intracavitary immunotherapy and hyperthermia.Unique clinical data Up-to-date methods of treatmentMalignant effusions (pleurites, ascites and pericarditis) are some of the most frequent manifestations of dissemination process of malignant tumors. Accumulation of the malignant fluid in serous cavities results in impairment of respiratory and cardiac functions, however long-term evacuation of the fluid leads to severe disorders of homeostasis that may directly cause the patient’s death. The

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Frequent headaches seriously affect the quality of life for millions of sufferers. The result can be lost productivity and lost income, restricted ability, lower self-esteem, and even social isolation. For many it takes years to find the appropriate medication to manage their headaches effectively..In Managing Your Headaches, Drs. Mark and Leah Green explain what information you should record for your physician, what a physician is looking for in a neurological examination, and what you should and should not do to reduce the frequency and severity of

Overview: This book documents the proceedings of the symposium, "Mineral Scale Formation and Inhibition," held at the American Chemical Society Annual Meeting August 21 to 26, 1994, in Washington, D. C. The symposium, sponsored by the Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry, was held in honor of Professor George H. Nancollas for his pioneering work in the field of crystal growth from solution. A total of 30 papers were presented by a wide spectrum of scientists. This book also includes papers that were not presented but were in the symposium program. The separation of a solid by crystallizat

Overview: This book aims at providing graduate students and researchers with funda­ mental knowledge indispensable for entering the new field of "microclus­ 3 ters". Microclusters consisting of 10 to 10 atoms exhibit neither the pro­ perties of the corresponding bulk nor those of the corresponding molecule of a few atoms. The microclusters may be considered to form a new phase of materials lying between macroscopic solids and microscopic particles such as atoms and molecules, showing both macroscopic and microscopic features. However, research into such"a riew phase has been left untouched unt

Overview: Der Schlüssel zum unternehmerischen Erfolg liegt darin, die Bedürfnisse der Konsumenten des Zielmarktes zu ermitteln und diese wirksamer und wirtschaftlicher zu befriedigen als die Wettbewerber. Maßgebliche Faktoren bei der wirksamen Befriedigung von Konsumentenbedürfnissen sind die Marktorientierung und die Produktqualität. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit von Herrn Fillip bestehendes Wissen zusammengetragen, strukturiert und durch eigene Beiträge weiterentwickelt zu einer schlüssigen, marktorientierten Konzeption der Produktqualität. Im Einzelnen • werden Meth

Overview: . . . we do not know a truth without knowing its cause. Aristotle Perhaps the greatest hope that may be entertained for a scientific work, whether experimental or theoretical, is that it leads to new thoughts and new avenues of investigation on the part of its readers. In microvascular mechanics, the interplay of rheology, anatomy, and cellular and organ function has only just begun to be addressed. To understand the operational behavior of microcirculation, there is a need to integrate studies at the cellular or molecu­ lar level with a quantitative, biomechanical description of the

Overview: Warum ist Mathematik überhaupt wichtig und ein lohnendes Ziel?.Worum geht es in der Mathematik, wie hat sie sich entwickelt?.Welche Facetten hat die Mathematik?.Welche sind wichtige Methoden und Struk.Dieses Buch versteht sich als Reiseführer in das Land der Mathematik. Es informiert unter anderem über die Regionen dieses Landes (Algebra, Geometrie, Analysis, Stochastik, ...), über seine Geschichte, bedeutende Krisen und Entwicklungslinien, Beziehung zu benachbarten Gebieten, Kultur und Gepflogenheiten (Modellbildung, das Phänomen des Beweises, Anwendungen, ...) und seine Bewohner, d

Overview: Die Anwendung multivariater statistischer Verfahren auf umfangreiche Datensätze vornehmlich aus der analytischen Chemie ist das zentrale Thema des Buches. Das Autorenteam - Chemiker und Mathematiker - stellt die klassischen und modernen Methoden und deren Kombination zur Lösung analytischer und physikalisch-chemischer Problemstellungen praxisnah dar. Das Buch ist für Anfänger und erfahrene Praktiker gleichermaßen geeignet, weil es die komplizierten Sachverhalte durchgehend deskriptiv und mathematisch-theoretisch darstellt. Zusätzlich bietet das Buch die Möglichkeit, viele der vorgest

Overview: Eine managementethische, moralökonomische AnalyseChristoph Wagner nimmt eine managementethische Analyse von Situationskonstellationen im Kontext der Schaffung, des Erhalts und Abbaus von Arbeitsplätzen vor. Sein metaphysischer, mikroanalytischer Realitätszugang gestattet es, die objektive Polydimensionalität der empirischen Realität in Unternehmen zu erfassen und so der Gefahr unzulässiger Abstrahierungen in Richtung des Economic oder Moral Point of View zu begegnen. Der Autor entwickelt auf dieser Basis ein differenziertes moralökonomisches Analysegerüst für ein betriebswirtschaftli

Overview: The dielectric measurement and behaviour of wet soil is discussed from theoretical and experiment point of view.Techniques depending upon microwave methods are described in detail.Remote sensing methoSoil moisture plays an important role in the runoff process, and its evaluation can be used as a marker of flood risk or drought occurrence. The data is also required to validate the soil moisture component in a variety of soil types of hydrologic models before a possible flood event, and potentially improves the accuracy of their prediction. Keeping the above in view, enormous efforts h
