Overview: Entwicklungsperspektiven eines nachhaltigen ManagementsSoll man zum 75. Geburtstag eines Hochschullehrers eigentlich noch eine Festschrift herausgeben? Wenn der Jubilar so aktiv ist wie Prof. Dr. Hans Raffee, dann auf jeden Fall. Diese Auffassung teilten zahlreiche Freunde‘ und Kollegen sowie ehemalige Mit­ arbeiter von Hans Raffee mit uns, die sich zusammengefunden haben, um mit diesem Buch ihre Wertschätzung gegenüber Hans Raffee und seinem gesamten Lebenswerk auszudrücken. Die Autoren und der Verlag gratulieren sehr herzlich zu dem am 13.8.2004 begangenen 75. Geburtstag und wünsch

Overview: Vividly illustrates how theories of social responsibility operate in practice in a wide range of management education programmes.Addresses the practice-theory gap by providing detailed case studies.OfThis book brings together a variety of international, cross-cultural case studies of management education programmes and discusses the results in light of the present higher social expectations on managerial behaviour. It presents both traditional and unusual approaches to management education, examining concept mapping, transformational learning theory, the practice-theory gap, cultural

Overview: New edition provides additional topics such as the Kurzweil-Henstock integral, Banach-Tasrki paradox, a proof of the existence of liftings, the Daniell integral, and a brief introduction to measure-th.Intended as a self-contained introduction to measure theory, this textbook also includes a comprehensive treatment of integration on locally compact Hausdorff spaces, the analytic and Borel subsets of Polish spaces, and Haar measures on locally compact groups. This second edition includes a chapter on measure-theoretic probability theory, plus brief treatments of the Banach-Tarski parad

Overview: Provides readers with a full understanding of the capabilities of the microbiota to interface with the brain and form the microbiota-gut-brain axis and a detailed examination of the consequences of th.The field of microbial endocrinology is expressly devoted to understanding the mechanisms by which the microbiota (bacteria within the microbiome) interact with the host (“us”). This interaction is a two-way street and the driving force that governs these interactions are the neuroendocrine products of both the host and the microbiota. Chapters include neuroendocrine hormone-induced cha

Overview: This book makes the case for Marsilio Ficino, a Renaissance philosopher and priest, as a canonical thinker, and provides an introduction for a broad audience.  Sophia Howlett examines him as part of the milieu of Renaissance Florence, part of a history of Platonic philosophy, and as a key figure in the ongoing crisis between classical revivalism and Christian belief.  The author discusses Ficino’s vision of a Platonic Christian universe with multiple worlds inhabited by angels, daemons and pagan gods, as well as our own distinctive role within that universe - climbing the heights to

Overview: Presents data-driven fault diagnosis.Discusses multimode continuous processes.Lists monitoring schemes for steady, non-steady, and mixed-mode processesThis book examines recent methods for data-driven fault diagnosis of multimode continuous processes. It formalizes, generalizes, and systematically presents the main concepts, and approaches required to design fault diagnosis methods for multimode continuous processes. The book provides both theoretical and practical tools to help readers address the fault diagnosis problem by drawing data-driven methods from at least three different a

Overview: This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 19th International Conference on Membrane Computing (CMC19), CMC 2018, which was held in Dresden, Germany, in September 2018. The 15 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. The contributions aim to abstract computing ideas and models from the structure and the functioning of living cells, as well as from the way the cells are organized in tissues or higher order structures..978-3-030-12796-1978-3-030-12797-8Series ISSN 0302-9743 Series E-ISSN 1611-3349

Overview: Companies are increasingly faced with the fact that the communication habits of their customers have changed sustainably – not only through the use of the Internet, but even more through the use of mobile services. Traditional marketing and communi- tion instruments are increasingly being supplemented or even replaced by the direct, personalized address of the customer. The most powerful tool for this kind of com- nication is the mobile phone. It provides a direct and interactive communication ch- nel to the customer. For numerous people, the mobile phone is no longer simply p- ceive

Overview: Unique in that it addresses both the theory and the practical applications of multi-carrier communication over a wide variety of wired and wireless mediaulti-carrier modulation‚ Orthogonal Frequency Division Multi- Mplexing (OFDM) particularly‚ has been successfully applied to a wide variety of digital communications applications over the past several years. Although OFDM has been chosen as the physical layer standard for a diversity of important systems‚ the theory‚ algorithms‚ and implementation techniques remain subjects of current interest. This is clear from the high volume of p

Overview: Real-world physical and abstract data objects are interconnected, forming gigantic, interconnected networks. By structuring these data objects and interactions between these objects into multiple types, such networks become semi-structured heterogeneous information networks. Most real-world applications that handle big data, including interconnected social media and social networks, scientific, engineering, or medical information systems, online e-commerce systems, and most database systems, can be structured into heterogeneous information networks. Therefore, effective analysis of l

Overview: Centralizes results that were strewn in different research papers and inaccessible by physicists.The derivations of some classical plasma models are explained from a mathematical point of view.Rigorou.This monograph is dedicated to the derivation and analysis of fluid models occurring in plasma physics. It focuses on models involving quasi-neutrality approximation, problems related to laser propagation in a plasma, and coupling plasma waves and electromagnetic waves. Applied mathematicians will find a stimulating introduction to the world of plasma physics and a few open problems tha

Overview: The second edition of this textbook is identical with its fourth German edi­ tion and it thus has the same goals: precise definition of basic phenomena, a broad survey of the whole field, integrated representation of chemistry, physics, and technology, and a balanced treatment of facts and comprehen­ sion. The book thus intends to bridge the gap between the often oversimpli­ fied introductory textbooks and the highly specialized texts and monographs that cover only parts of macromolecular science. The text intends to survey the whole field of macromolecular science. Its organization
