Overview: Technischer Fortschritt und Wettbewerb haben dazu geführt, daß die Unter­ nehmen in immer stärkerem Maße gezwungen sind, ihre Entscheidungen nicht mehr intuitiv zu treffen, sondern sorgfältig vorzubereiten und zu pla­ nen. In der Planung müssen das Unternehmen selbst und seine Beziehungen zur Umwelt als ein komplexes System begriffen und analysiert werden. Das Verständnis der komplexen Zusammenhänge ist erforderlich, wenn man die Auswirkungen geplanter Entscheidungen voraussagen und in der Entschei­ dung beurteilen will. Dazu sind Informationen erforderlich. Diese Informa­ tionen müs

Overview: This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access.Examines the role of images in shaping reactions to other’s suffering.Covers humanitarian crises from the nineteenth centu.This open access collection of essays explores the emotional agency of images in the construction of ‘humanitarian crises’ from the nineteenth century to the present. Using the prism of the histories of emotions and the senses, the chapters examine the pivotal role images have in shaping cultural, social and political reactions to the suffering of others and to the establishment of the

Overview: Magic labelings Magic squares are among the more popular mathematical recreations. Their origins are lost in antiquity; over the years, a number of generalizations have been proposed. In the early 1960s, Sedlacek asked whether "magic" ideas could be applied to graphs. Shortly afterward, Kotzig and Rosa formulated the study of graph label­ ings, or valuations as they were first called. A labeling is a mapping whose domain is some set of graph elements - the set of vertices, for example, or the set of all vertices and edges - whose range was a set of positive integers. Various restrict

Overview: The NATO Advanced Study Institute "Microlocal Analysis and Spectral The­ ory" was held in Tuscany (Italy) at Castelvecchio Pascoli, in the district of Lucca, hosted by the international vacation center "11 Ciocco" , from September 23 to October 3, 1996. The Institute recorded the considerable progress realized recently in the field of Microlocal Analysis. In a broad sense, Microlocal Analysis is the modern version of the classical Fourier technique in solving partial differential equa­ tions, where now the localization proceeding takes place with respect to the dual variables too. Pr

Overview: Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key notes and implementation advice from the expertsThis volume covers a variety of topics related to the practice of rule-based modeling, a type of mathematical modeling useful for studying biomolecular site dynamics. There is an emphasis on software tools and detailed descriptions of techniques. The chapters in this book discuss topics such as software tools and frameworks for compartmental modeling (Pycellerator, RuleBuilder, Prgy, rxncon, MSMB, and ML-Rules); tools
