Overview: This book argues that for many companies organisation is designed to achieve operational optimization and may be in conflict with strategic objectives. Managers may not share similar decision criteria and this may facilitate or hinder the fulfilment of certain strategies. The role of top managers is to shape to a large extent the ability of the organisational system to implement and achieve strategic objectives. This book provides breakthrough thinking on these issues by two leading academic thinkers.978-1-349-51056-6978-0-230-51208-5

Overview: The papers collected in this volume are most of the material presented at the Advanced School on Mathematical Models for the Semantics of Parallelism, held in Rome, September 24- October 1, 1986. The need for a comprehensive and clear presentation of the several semantical approaches to parallelism motivated the stress on mathematical models, by means of which comparisons among different approaches can also be performed in a perspicuous way.978-3-540-18419-5978-3-540-47960-4Series ISSN 0302-9743 Series E-ISSN 1611-3349

Overview: Making Sense of Self-Harm provides an alternative approach to understanding nonsuicidal self-injury; using Cultural Sociology to analyse it more as a practice than an illness and exploring it as a powerful cultural idiom of personal distress and social estrangement that is peculiarly resonant with the symbolic life of late-modern society.978-1-137-47059-1

Overview: Sir Francis Avery Jones 149 Harley Street, London, WlN 2DE, U.K. This first international symposium on Mucus in Health and Disease brought together medical scientists, physiologists, pharmacologists, physicians, surgeons, gynaecologists, ophthalmologists, anatomists, biologists, medical engineers and biochemists - a spectrum which indicates the wide field of interest in mucus both in health and in disease. The idea for the meeting came from Dr. S. Gottfried whose researches led to the development of carbenoxolone, a substance which stimulates mucus production and in this way favours

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Computing and science reveal a synergic relationship. On the one hand, it is widely evident that computing plays an important role in the scientific endeavor. On the other hand, the role of scientific method in computing is getting increasingly important, especially in providing ways to experimentally evaluate the properties of complex computing systems. This book critically presents these issues from a unitary conceptual and methodological perspective by addressing specific case studies at the intersection between computing and science. The book orig

Overview: Multimedia computing has emerged in the last few years as amajor area of research. Multimedia computer systems have opened a widerange of applications by combining a variety of information sources,such as voice, graphics, animation, images, audio and full-motionvideo. Looking at the big picture, multimedia can be viewed as themerging of three industries: computer, communications, andbroadcasting industries. .Research and development efforts can be divided into two areas. As thefirst area of research, much effort has been centered on thestand-alone multimedia workstation and associate

Overview: Medizinische Expertensysteme als moderne Entwicklung diagno- se- und therapieunterstützender Verfahren erbringen Leistungen, die bislang dem Arzt vorbehalten waren. Somit unterscheiden sie sich von sonstiger medizinischer Technik. Der Autor untersucht, ob eine schutzzweckorientierte Erfassung solcher Computerprogramme durch das vorhandene Recht technischer Sicherheit möglich und daraus folgende Pflichten für Hersteller, Betreiber und Anwender sinnvoll sind..Angesichts des sich im Umbruch befindenden Rechts der Medizintechnik auf nationaler und europäischer Ebene soll vor allem zur Au

Overview: This volume consists of articles contributed by participants at the fourth Ja­ pan-U.S. Joint Seminar on Operator Algebras. The seminar took place at the University of Pennsylvania from May 23 through May 27, 1988 under the auspices of the Mathematics Department. It was sponsored and supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and the National Science Foundation (USA). This sponsorship and support is acknowledged with gratitude. The seminar was devoted to discussions and lectures on results and prob­ lems concerning mappings of operator algebras (C*-and von Neumann al

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Most problems in science involve many scales in time and space. An example is turbulent ?ow where the important large scale quantities of lift and drag of a wing depend on the behavior of the small vortices in the boundarylayer. Another example is chemical reactions with concentrations of the species varying over seconds and hours while the time scale of the oscillations of the chemical bonds is of the order of femtoseconds. A third example from structural mechanics is the stress and strain in a solid beam which is well described by macroscopic equati
