Overview: Darstellung der modernen Produktentwicklungsmethoden.Mit zahlreichen praktischen Beispielen variantenreicher Produkte.Empfehlungen für die Auswahl geeigneter MethodenDieses Buch fokussiert die Entwicklung von variantenreichen Produkten mithilfe modularer Produktstrukturen und adressiert so die Komplexitätsreduktion aus Sicht der Produktentwicklung. Durch diese modularen Produktstrukturen wird eine größere Nachfragevielfalt bei gleichzeitig geringer, unternehmensinterner Vielfalt an Komponenten und Prozessen möglich. Als Ergänzung zur gängigen Produktentwicklungsmethodik werden die nö

Overview: A path-breaking and comprehensive review of the pathophysiology and management of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Drawing on the key results of recent clinical trials, world-renowned clinicians and clinical investigators establish state-of-the-art management guidelines for patients with ST-elevation MI or non-ST-elevation ACS. Their discussion includes a detailed review of the pathophysiology of ACS and a survey of the diagnostic tools available to assess patients. Management of Acute Coronary Syndromes captures the major advances that have occurred in our understanding

Overview: Standard reference book with selected and easily retrievable data from the fields of physics and chemistry collected by acknowledged international scientists..Also available online in www.springermateThe Landolt-Börnstein Volume 27 deals with the magnetic properties of non-metallic inorganic compounds based on transition elements, such as there are pnictides, chalcogenides, oxides, halides, borates, and finally phosphates and silicates, the latter presented in this subvolume I. A preliminary survey of the contents of all subvolumes that have already appeared or have been planned to a

Overview: Presentation of essential and latest information on detection of bacterial and phytoplasmal plant pathogens and diagnosis of the diseases caused by them.Discussion on all aspects of pathogen detectionMicrobial plant pathogens causing qualitative and quantitative losses in all corps are present not only in the infected plants, but also in the environmental comprising of soil, water and air. The vectors present in the environment spread the microbial pathogens to short and/or long distances. Detection of microbial pathogens rapidly and reliably by employing suitable sensitive applicabl

Overview: Offers the first dedicated study on the core metaepistemological subject of epistemic ontology.Brings together a wide range of different philosophical perspectives on epistemic ontology, ranging from This book contains twelve chapters by leading and up-and-coming philosophers on metaepistemology, that is, on the nature, existence and authority of epistemic facts. One of the central divides in metaepistemology is between epistemic realists and epistemic anti-realists. Epistemic realists think that epistemic facts (such as the fact that you ought to believe what your evidence supports)

Overview: Maternal Instinctsbrings together seven new essays exploring conflicting visions of motherhood and sexuality in a period during which both terms were undergoing radical change. Representations of both concepts mutated to accommodate different cultural contexts and individual ideologies. Drawing upon sources including literature, film, medical handbooks, popular science, and legal records, the articles collected here construct a vision of motherhood as alternately idealized, discredited, and fragmented by virtue of its connection with sexualities licit and illicit.978-1-349-14534-8

Overview: In Business-to-Business-Märkten determinieren kundenspezifische Anforderungen über mehrere Marktstufen hinweg die Wertschöpfung nachgelagerter Lieferanten. Erfolgreiche Lieferanten greifen diese Herausforderung auf und entwickeln mehrstufige Kundenintegrationsstrategien, um einseitige Abhängigkeiten von den direkten Abnehmern zu verringern...Alexander Trommen untersucht die in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur bisher kaum thematisierte Mehrstufigkeit der Kundenintegration anhand verschiedener Branchen. Am Beispiel eines Lieferanten in der Bahnindustrie entwickelt er einen neuen Ansatz

Overview: A collection of some fundamental mathematical techniques that are required for the analysis of algorithms.Is very well written; the style and the mathematical exposition make the book pleasant to read.This monograph, derived from an advanced computer science course at Stanford University, builds on the fundamentals of combinatorial analysis and complex variable theory to present many of the major paradigms used in the precise analysis of algorithms, emphasizing the more difficult notions. The authors cover recurrence relations, operator methods, and asymptotic analysis in a format th

Overview: Durch den vielfältigen Einsatz von Mikroprozessoren wurde die Digitaltechnik zu einer Mischung aus Hard- und Software, bei der ein Entwickler nicht nur die geeignete Hardware auswählen und aufbauen, sondern auch ihre Programmierung übernehmen muß. Somit wird die historische Trennung zwischen Hard- und Software immer weiter aufgehoben, und von Studenten der Informatik und der Elektrotechnik wird vertieftes Wissen auf beiden Gebieten verlangt. Thema dieses Buches sind die Mikrorechner-Systeme, aus Mikroprozessoren aufgebaute universell programmierbare Digitalrechner, deren Leistungsfäh

Overview: In the past fi fteen years there has been a growi ng interest in the development of children‘s awareness of language as an object in itself -- a phenomenon now generally referred to as metal inguistic awareness. Until the publication of an earlier volume in the Springer Series in Language and Communication, The Chitd‘s Conoeption oi Language, edited by A. Sinclair, R. J. Jarvella, and W. J. M. Levelt, there had been no systematic treatment of metalinguistic awareness. The major goal of that volume was to map out the field of study by describing the phenomenon of interest and defining

Overview: Integrates classic material and new concepts.Presents precise and reproducible accounts of model discovery.Inspires students and researchers to further advances in this field.Includes supplementary maThis monograph introduces an exact model for a critical spin chain with arbitrary spin S, which includes the Haldane--Shastry model as the special case S=1/2.  While spinons in the Haldane-Shastry model obey abelian half-fermi statistics, the spinons in the general model introduced here obey non-abelian statistics.  This manifests itself through topological choices for the fractional mom

Overview: Adrian Furnham takes a sideways glance at management in this book of short essays. The essays are like tablets: to be taken a few at a time. They are designed to cure hangovers, reduce blood pressure and lighten the mood. They are also meant to be prophylactics against managerial madness. Take two, then call Adrian in the morning.978-0-230-21664-8978-0-230-22743-9

It sheds light on Incan culture, the relation between human frequentation and environmental changes, the Incan architecture in relation with Andean cosmovision using, for the first time, diverse technological and scie

Overview: This little book is conceived as a service to mathematicians attending the 1998 International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin. It presents a comprehensive, condensed overview of mathematical activity in Berlin, from Leibniz almost to the present day (without, however, including biographies of living mathematicians). Since many towering figures in mathematical history worked in Berlin, most of the chapters of this book are concise biographies. These are held together by a few survey articles presenting the overall development of entire periods of scientific life at Berlin. Overla

Overview: This volume is a collection of the most significant contributions to the 4th International Symposium on MULTIPLE RISK FACTORS IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: STRATEGIES OF PREVENTION OF CORONARY HEART DISEASE, CARDIAC F AlLURE, AND STROKE held in Washington, D. C. in April 1997. The meeting focused on the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and their interactions. The need for this symposium is based on the epidemiological, clinical, and biological evidence that individuals from industrialized countries often possess two or more risk factors which synergistically increase the global r
