Overview: Durch die zunehmende Verbreitung von Unternehmensnetzwerken in der Praxis mehren sich fallweise auch jene kritischen Entwicklungen für solche Verbünde, welche mit dem Begriff der Netzwerkkrise treffend beschrieben sind...Netzwerkkrisen gefährden die gemeinschaftlichen Zielsetzungen und vernichten netzwerkspezifische Gemeingüter. Anhand einer umfangreichen empirischen Untersuchung stellt Hagen Radowski die Merkmale von Krisenprozessen in Netzwerken dar und entwirft ein idealtypisches Konzept für deren Bewältigung. Neben Auswirkungen auf die Krisenakteure im Netzwerkmanagement und auf

Overview: Large area sky surveys are now a reality in the radio, IR,optical and X-ray passbands. In the next few years, new surveys usingoptical, UV and IR mosaic cameras with high throughput digitaldetectors will expand the dynamic range and accuracy of photometry andastrometry of objects over a significant fraction of the entire sky.Parallel X-ray and radio surveys over the same areas will produceastronomical image and spectroscopic databases of unprecedented sizeand quality. The combined data sets will provide significant newconstraints on star formation, stellar dynamics, Galactic structur

Overview: With the recent advent of nanotechnology, research and development in the area of nanostructured materials has gained unprecedented prominence. Novel materials with potentially exciting new applications are being discovered at a much higher rate than ever before. Innovative tools to fabricate, manipulate, characterize and evaluate such materials are being developed and expanded. To keep pace with this extremely rapid growth, it is necessary to take a breath from time to time, to critically assess the current knowledge and provide thoughts for future developments. This book represents

Overview: Good all-in-one reference will bring researchers and students quickly up to speed in a currently-popular research area.Time-saving pdf overheads will save teachers time in class preparation and give sThis book nds its origin in the WIDE PhD School on Networked Control Systems, which we organized in July 2009 in Siena, Italy. Having gathered experts on all the aspects of networked control systems, it was a small step to go from the summer school to the book, certainly given the enthusiasm of the lecturers at the school. We felt that a book collecting overviewson the important developm

Overview: Makes some basic Lie theory accessible.Unique choice of approach and topics.Introduces an advanced topic to undergraduates, at just the right pace.Author includes exercises and examples.Includes suppl.In this new textbook, acclaimed author John Stillwell presents a lucid introduction to Lie theory suitable for junior and senior level undergraduates. In order to achieve this, he focuses on the so-called "classical groups‘‘ that capture the symmetries of real, complex, and quaternion spaces. These symmetry groups may be represented by matrices, which allows them to be studied by elemen

Overview: Highlights the dominant role neuroplasticity plays in rewiring cognitive pathways towards violent extreme behaviors.Development of Risk Assessment Toolbox for early detection of warning signs for pote.This Brief provides a theoretical and conceptual development of a new Risk Assessment Toolbox (RAT) for the early detection of violent extremists. It is based on a neurocognitive perspective, conceptualized as ‘neuroplasticity-in-action’ arising from brain-based neural patterns expressed in mind-based cognitive pathways likely to form a mind-set of violent extremism. This neurocognitive

Overview: The management of Alzheimer‘s Disease and the related dementias is one of the major challenges to health care professionals and American society-at-large for the coming decade and the coming millennium. The rapid growth of the over-eighty-five population, the group which, as recent studies have confirmed and as many of us clinicians have long suspected, has an even higher prevalence than previously quoted of dementing disorders, is the major cause of this. We are thus challenged by, as Bernard Issacs used to call it, "the survival of the unfittest," as well as the oPtimistic approach

Overview: Foundations and applications of artificial neural networks in mechanics of structures and materials are discussed.Direct and inverse problems of structural engineering are considered using neural netwNeural Networks are a new, interdisciplinary tool for information processing. Neurocomputing being successfully introduced to structural problems which are difficult or even impossible to be analysed by standard computers (hard computing). The book is devoted to foundations and applications of NNs in the structural mechanics and design of structures.978-3-211-83322-3978-3-7091-2484-0Seri

Overview: Der Nutzen der Serviceorientierung als IT-Architekturparadigma wird in Wissenschaft und Praxis kontrovers diskutiert. Alexander Becker fasst die wesentlichen Argumente dieser Debatte in einem Rahmenwerk zusammen. Dabei untersucht er die Frage des Mehrwerts von SOA-basierten Systemen sowohl aus Sicht von Anwendern, als auch von Herstellern. Die umfangreiche Darstellung einer empirischen Untersuchung zu bisherigen Erfahrungen mit dem SOA-Einsatz in beiden Zielgruppen kann Entscheidungsträgern als interessante Datengrundlage zur individuellen Bewertung einer SOA-Adoption dienen.978-3-83

Overview: The purpose of this book is to describe recent developments in solving eig- value problems, in particular with respect to the QR and QZ algorithms as well as structured matrices. Outline Mathematically speaking, the eigenvalues of a square matrix A are the roots of its characteristic polynomial det(A??I). An invariant subspace is a linear subspace that stays invariant under the action of A. In realistic applications, it usually takes a long process of simpli?cations, linearizations and discreti- tions before one comes up with the problem of computing the eigenvalues of a matrix. In s

Overview: Highlights recent progress in sustainable aviation.Presents alternative fuel types and propulsion technologies.Includes case studies and practical applicationsThis book examines recent progress and new technological developments in sustainable aviation. It covers alternative fuel types, propulsion technologies, and aerial vehicle (unmanned aerial vehicles, drones, passenger air) emission reduction technologies. The effects of these technologies on vehicle performance, cost, and environmental impact are discussed, and case studies, practical applications, and engineering solutions and

Overview: Presents chemistry of plant secondary metabolism.Provides overview of industrial applications of secondary metabolites.Written by world leading scientistsThis book focuses on the different compounds (polyphenols, sterols, alkaloids terpenes) that arise from the secondary metabolism of plants and fungi and their importance for research and industry. These compounds have been the backbone and inspiration of various industries like the food, pharmaceutical and others to produce synthetic counterparts. Furthermore, many of these compounds are still widely used to carry out specific funct

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .In the first decade of the twenty-first century, the biggest event of worldwide proportion was the 2008 global financial crisis, which was caused primarily by ineffective governance, failed surveillance systems, and implementation flaws. While fiscal and monetary policies succeeded in pulling many countries out of a financial freefall, most economies have performed beneath pre-recession levels as governments continued to struggle with their finances..Examining the financial crisis from the viewpoint of intangible assets provides a different perspecti
