Overview: Presents an in-depth discussion of present-day practices in software reliability engineering.Describes how optimization tools can benefit decision making within software development.Provides step-by-s.The book begins with an introduction to software reliability, models and techniques. The book is an informative book covering the strategies needed to assess software failure behaviour and its quality, as well as the application of optimization tools for major managerial decisions related to the software development process. It features a broad range of topics including software reliabi

Overview: Reports an important advance in describing strongly correlated electronic systems.Can serve as a standard reference for the electronic structure community.Nominated as an outstanding contribution by t.Density functional theory (DFT) has become the standard workhorse for quantum mechanical simulations as it offers a good compromise between accuracy and computational cost. .However, there are many important systems for which DFT performs very poorly, most notably strongly-correlated materials, resulting in a significant recent growth in interest in ‘beyond DFT‘  methods. The widely use

Overview: Tackles the intersections between media technologies and gendered identities.Divided into three sections: Media, Activism and Cultural Representations.Directly addresses topical and current issues in This edited collection explores the meaning of feminism in the contemporary moment, which is constituted primarily by action but also uncertainty. The book focuses on feminist modes of activism, as well as media and cultural representation to ask questions about organising, representing and articulating feminist politics. In particular it tackles the intersections between media technolog

Overview: Erste umfassende Darstellung der verschiedenen Tools zur Aufdeckung innovativer Wachstumsmöglichkeiten.Bewertung der Forschungsarbeiten zur systematischen Aufdeckung neuer innovativer Ideen.PraxisnaheDas Lehrbuch beinhaltet eine umfassende Darstellung von Tools, mit deren Hilfe systematisch innovative Ideen für neues Unternehmenswachstum generiert werden können („Opportunities“). In der Praxis lässt sich beobachten, dass Unternehmen erhebliche Anstrengungen unternehmen, Ideen für Innovationen zu identifizieren, die ihre Branche entscheidend prägen können. Grund dafür ist nicht zuletz

Overview: Wie soziale Ordnung verhandelt, dargestellt und legitimiert wird.Includes supplementary material: Welterfahrung, Vergesellschaftung und die Organisation der Alltagspraxis sind grundlegend situiert und situativ. In Situationen erleben und handeln wir – mit Anderen, für Andere, gegen Andere. Als Kategorie ist die Situation jedoch ins Vergessen geraten und theoretisch wie empirisch scheinbar irrelevant geworden. Dabei – so eine zentrale These des Sammelbandes – kann gerade die ‚Situation‘ zwischen der Handlungs- und Strukturtheorie, zwischen dem Mikro- und Makrobereich des Sozialen verm

Overview: Describes potential cell sources and suitable biomaterials for each organ type.Addresses the status of clinical trials.Chapters are updated on a regular basis.The notion of being able to engineer complete organs has inspired an entire generation of researchers. While recent years have brought significant progress in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, the immense challenges encountered when trying to engineer an entire organ have to be acknowledged. Despite a good understanding of cell phenotypes, cellular niches and cell-to-biomaterial interactions, the formation of tissue

Overview: Proofs are presented with complete mathematical details.Extensive use of the implicit function theorem as a unifying approach to perturbative analysis.Exercises are included at the end of each chapterThis book is a mathematically rigorous introduction to the beautiful subject of ordinary differential equations for beginning graduate or advanced undergraduate students. Students should have a solid background in analysis and linear algebra. The presentation emphasizes commonly used techniques without necessarily striving for completeness or for the treatment of a large number of topics

Overview: This book is intended to be both a thorough introduction to contemporary research in optimization theory for elliptic systems with its numerous applications and a textbook at the undergraduate and graduate level for courses in pure or applied mathematics or in continuum mechanics. Various processes of modern technology and production are described by el­ liptic partial differential equations. Optimization of these processes reduces to op­ timization problems for elliptic systems. The numerical solution of such problems is associated with the solution of the following questions. 1. Th
