Overview: Includes supplementary material: Software measurement is one of the key technologies employed to control and manage the software development process. Research avenues such as the applicability of metrics, the efficiency of measurement programs in industry, and the theoretical foundations (of software engineering?) have been investigated to evaluate and improve modern software development areas such as object-orientation, compone- based develop-ment, multimedia systems design, reliable telecommunication systems etc. In the tradition of our software measurement research communities, th

Overview: This book claims Nietzsche as a leftist revolutionary but without overlooking the conservative and retrogressive elements of his political philosophy. The author argues that these two ‘halves‘ of his philosophy help construct a new form of politics for contemporary readers, a possibility of revolution post-Marx.978-1-349-37823-4978-0-230-62322-4

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-98900-1978-3-642-99715-0

Overview: What this book is about. The theory of sets is a vibrant, exciting math­ ematical theory, with its own basic notions, fundamental results and deep open problems, and with significant applications to other mathematical theories. At the same time, axiomatic set theory is often viewed as a foun­ dation ofmathematics: it is alleged that all mathematical objects are sets, and their properties can be derived from the relatively few and elegant axioms about sets. Nothing so simple-minded can be quite true, but there is little doubt that in standard, current mathematical practice, "making a

Overview: Tackles a major concern currently confronting the defence sector globally - what is the future of NATO?.Examines a number of new issues confronting NATO from the development and harnessing of drone te.NATO is facing a unique crisis questioning its existence and future.  This book provides a detailed in-depth economic and critical analysis of the issues.  It considers whether NATO has a future and what it might look like 70 years ahead.  NATO is undergoing a process of dramatic change, reorganising its functions, funding and strategic responsibilities to address growing regional and g

Overview: Liquid crystals have become ubiquitous in the displays for electronic devices, ranging from wrist watches to laptop computers. Nuclear magnetic resonance has become one of the important techniques for determining their structures and properties. Intended for researchers and students in physics, chemistry and materials science, this book provides the necessary background information and sufficient mathematical and physical detail to study the current research literature. The book begins with a survey of liquid crystal phases and field effects and with an introduction to the basic phys

Overview: In May 1995 a meeting took place at the Manchester Metropolitan Uni­ versity, UK, with the title International Workshop on Numerical Methods for Wave Propagation Phenomena. The Workshop, which was attended by 60 scientists from 13 countries, was preceded by a short course enti­ tled High-Resolution Numerical Methods for Wave Propagation Phenom­ ena. The course participants could then join the Workshop and listen to discussions of the latest work in the field led by experts responsible for such developments. The present volume contains written versions of their contributions from the

Overview: Offers fresh and brief inside to the theory of sovereignty and its practical application in the practice.Light style, free of heavy academic analysis and therefore very accessible for wide range of reThis volume assesses the implications of membership in the European Union for countries’ understanding of the concept of sovereignty, based on the perspective of the Czech Republic. The starting point of this work is acceptance of the Czech Republic’s membership in the European Union as a basic fact. The goal of the analysis presented here is to offer a theoretical approach to reconcilin

Overview: Although neonatal screening was begun only 20 years ago, and is consequently still in its early stages, it is already a classic example of efficient preventive pediatrics. At present, routine neonatal screening covering a satisfactory percentage of newborn babies is carried out in only a small part ofthe world. For some five diseases enough infants have been screened to give reasonably reliable information about the frequency of these diseases in various populations. Interesting differences are beginning to appear in popula­ tions of different ethnic and racial background. The medica

Overview: Demonstrates how the exercise of leadership has evolved and is constrained by the very functioning of the brain.Explores the capabilities and limitations of the human brain when leading and deciding.P.This book illustrates, through a number of examples from different domains, how to put in place a disciplined process to develop a creative leadership approach. Today‘s managers seem to have all the tools at their disposal, leadership training, seminars and executive coaching, to exercise effective leadership, but most continue to take the easy path of raw authority, neglecting the inte
