Overview: Shows the reader how to manage the process of design to get the optimum result at least expense in time and money.Helps the engineering designer understand what is required by those responsible for ma.Engineering design concerns us all. In new products we expect higher quality, better reliability, lower cost, improved safety and more respect for the environment. The Design Manager is responsible for fulfilling these disparate and often mutually contradictory expectations, guiding the design team while liaising with and drawing support from project managers, manufacturers, marketing s

It provides the first comprehensive political analysis of how and why successive Spanish governments have increased or reduced support for renewable power, especially wind and solar. In particular, it identifies the key influences that have been brought to bear on decision making by the core executive as

Overview: Remarkable advance in quantitative marketing research in the last two decades, incorporating applied microeconomic theories, operations research and management applications, has brought the field of marketing alongside with finance, accounting and productionto within an executive‘sreach for a sophisticatedtoolbox for decision­ making in an increasingly competitive and complex business environment. A quick look at Marketing, a recently published book edited by Eliashberg and Lilien would indicate even to the casual reader the extent of such methodological progress made by marketing sc

Overview: Whatever happened to the money supply? This book explains how the analysis of monetary and credit aggregates is undertaken at the Bank of England, the European Central Bank and (as an example of a developing country) the Bank of Tanzania. The book also explores how this analysis relates to these central banks‘ monetary policy strategies and how it feeds into policymaking. An editorial introduction provides the intellectual and historical background – from the contributions of key economists such as Milton Friedman and Jacques Polak, to monetary targeting and inflation targeting – and

Overview: The subject of this book is Lagrange, Hermite and Birkhoff (lacunary Hermite) interpolation by multivariate algebraic polynomials. It unifies and extends a new algorithmic approach to this subject which was introduced and developed by G.G. Lorentz and the author. One particularly interesting feature of this algorithmic approach is that it obviates the necessity of finding a formula for the Vandermonde determinant of a multivariate interpolation in order to determine its regularity (which formulas are practically unknown anyways) by determining the regularity through simple geometric

Overview: Proposes a simple three-component approach to formalizing machine learning problems and methods.Interprets typical machine learning methods using the unified scientific cycle model: forming hypothesisMachine learning (ML) has become a commonplace element in our everyday lives and a standard tool for many fields of science and engineering. To make optimal use of ML, it is essential to understand its underlying principles. .This book approaches ML as the computational implementation of the scientific principle. This principle consists of continuously adapting a model of a given data-ge

Based on diverse sources, including legislative texts, case law, international conventions, and a variety of soft-law instruments, it highlights key topics such as the international sale of goods, international transport, marine insurance, internat

Overview: .Das „Genie“ als etwas Gebärendes, Lebens-Verantwortendes – und damit Mütterliches? Auf dieser Grundlage wirft die Studie einen neuen Blick auf die Geniefigur in der deutschsprachigen Literatur von 1750-1950. Den Ausgangspunkt bildet eine Überlegung von Julia Kristeva, die um 2000 mit „Das weibliche Genie“ dem tradierten Männlichkeitsparadigma vom „Genie“ eine andere Sichtweise zur Seite stellt: Das „weibliche Genie“ ist in seiner Verkörperung als „Frau und Mutter“ dazu fähig, das menschliche Subjekt substanziell zu beeinflussen, ja zu verändern. „Genie“ wurde bisher nicht als Ausdru
