Overview: Research on multiculturalism and information and communication technology (ICT) has been important to understanding recent history, planning for future large-scale initiatives, and understanding unrealized expectations for social and technological change. This interdisciplinary area of research has examined interactions between ICT and culture at the group and society levels. However, there is debate within the literature as to the nature of the relationship between culture and technology. In this synthesis, we suggest that the tensions result from the competing ideologies that drive

Overview: Mitarbeiterbeteiligung gilt schon seit langem als wirkungsvolles Konzept, um die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Unternehmen zu verbessern und die Mitarbeitermotivation, die Arbeitszufriedenheit und die Identifikation der Beschäftigten mit "ihrem" Unternehmen positiv zu beeinflussen. Das Zusammenspiel von Unternehmens- und Arbeitsorganisation, Formen der immateriellen Beteiligung und Modellen der finanziellen Beteiligung am Kapital oder Ertrag von Unternehmen ist allerdings noch wenig erforscht...Die Autoren dieses Sammelbandes untersuchen die materielle und immaterielle Mitarbeiterbeteilig

Overview: Die vom Wissenschaftlichen Beirat des VDI empfohlene Benutzung des Internatio­ nalen Einheitensystems mit den Grundeinheiten Meter, Kilogramm (Masse), Sekunde, Ampere, Grad Kelvin und Candela wird sich in der Wärme-und Kältetechnik nur schwer verwirklichen lassen, solange keine Tafeln und Diagramme thermodynamischer Größen in den neuen Einheiten vorliegen. Am Institut für Thermodynamik der Technischen Universität Berlin wurde daher begonnen, derartige Rechenunterlagen zu schaffen. Die hier vorliegenden Mollier-i, x-Diagramme für feuchte Luft wurden in den Ein­ heiten des Internationa

Overview: This volume presents extended and revised versions of the papers presented at the Third International Workshop on Multi-Agent Based Simulation (MABS 2002), a workshop federated with the First International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS 2002), which was held in Bologna, Italy, in July, 2002. This workshop was the third in the MABS series. The earlier two were - ganized as workshops of the two most recent ICMAS conferences (ICMAS 1998, Paris, France and ICMAS 2000, Boston, USA). Revised versions of the papers presented at these workshops were publ

Overview: This book shows how money and banks emerge to efficiently address problems of trust between economic agents.

Overview: .Magnetic Fields play a key role in the physics of star formation on all scales: from the formation of the large complexes of molecular clouds to the formation of solar-like planetary systems. The plasma physics involved is non-linear and very complex, which requires the development of large numerical codes. An additional difficulty is that the detection and study of magnetic fields is not easy from an observational point of view, and therefore theoretical models cannot easily be constrained. ..In the week from April 21st to 25th in 2003, a meeting was held on the Campus of the Unive

Overview: Migration und Geschlechterverhältnisse.„Can the subaltern speak?“ fragt Gayatri Spivak in einem der Schlüsseltexte postkolonialer Theorie. Ihre Antwort darauf ist wenig optimistisch: Die „fremde“ Frau bleibe immer lediglich Repräsentierte und besitze als diese „Andere“ keine Stimme. Die AutorInnen untersuchen das Phänomen der Migration in seinen geschlechtsspezifischen Zusammenhängen aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive. Sie diskutieren die vielfältigen Verschränkungen von kultureller Differenz und Geschlechterdifferenz. Dabei werden Fragen der Intersektionalität ebenso beleuchtet wie

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The three-volume set LNCS 9900, 9901, and 9902 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2016, held in Athens, Greece, in October 2016. Based on rigorous peer reviews, the program committee carefully selected 228 revised regular papers from 756 submissions for presentation in three volumes. The papers have been organized in the following topical sections: Part I: brain analysis, brain analysis - connectivity; brain analysis - cortical morphology; Alzh

Areas covered are: descriptions of music and language; speech and music performance; voice and instruments; cognition and perc

Overview: Today, ophthalmic pathology deals more and more with pathogenesis using highly sophisticated techniques. In recent decades, it has ex­ panded to such an extent that it now fills several volumes of a modern comprehensive atlas or textbook. Black and white prints of the macroscopic appearance of dissected eyes are standard in modern textbooks. Color photographs, although providing more visual infor­ mation and a better insight into the sometimes complex disease pro­ cesses of the eye, are however costly. Nevertheless, many ophthalmo­ logic colleagues expressed their desire to have me p
