Overview: Nicht zuletzt durch die fortschreitende Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik kommt es zu einer immer stärkeren Vermischung des Dienstleistungssektors mit dem Sektor des produzierenden Gewerbes: Die hergestellten Leistungen sind weder dem Dienstleistungsbereich noch den Sachgüterbereich eindeutig zuzuordnen. Für diese sogenannten dienstleistungsorientierten Unternehmen müssen neue Organisationsformen entwickelt werden. Peter Hardt stellt konkrete Organisationskonzepte vor. Dabei differenziert er zwischen drei unterschiedlichen Unternehmenstypen und arbeitet jeweils Empfehlungen für

Overview: Conventional wisdom recommends the superiority of private ownership of enterprises. The reality confronts it with a rich diversity in ownership and governance structures. This volume examines five types of unorthodox ownership and governance form emerging in the industrial sector across major economies. It analyzes two cases to demonstrate that there are alternative ways to harden budget constraints of state-owned enterprises. It investigates the driving forces behind these evolving dynamics and explores policy implications for developing and transition economies.978-1-349-51276-8978

Overview: Among all the interests in parallelism, there is an essential and fundamental one that has remained largely unexplored, namely the question of how to design parallel programs from their specification. And that is what this book is about. It proposes a method for the formal development of parallel programs - multiprograms as we have preferred to call them -, and it does so with a minimum of formal gear, viz. with the predicate calculus and with the meanwhile well-established theory of Owicki and Gries. The fact that one can get away with just this theory will probably not convey anyth

Overview: The two co-editors are acknowledged experts in this field.The entire concept has a distinctive approach that is presently unrivalled 39 chapters from multiple authors.Includes supplementary material: Until the advent of the Access open magnet, introduced by Diasonics in 1988, claustrophobia and the loud hammering noise were considered part of the price patients had to pay for the ben­ efits of this superb imaging approach. The fact that it was possi­ ble to obtain images of acceptable diagnostic quality while the patient was resting comfortably in pleasant airy surroundings re­ minis

Overview: Der sichere Weg zum Bestehen der Klausuren - Cartoons und lockere Texte bringen endlich Spaß statt PanikDas Buch, für das du dich gerade entschieden hast, ist ganz bewusst kein „richtiges“ Lehrbuch, aber eben auch nicht nur eine Aufgaben- oder reine Formelsammlung. Wie wäre es mit Lernbuch? Meistens ist es doch so: seit Monaten kennt man den Prüfungstermin und doch ist die Zeit vor der Klausur schon wieder mal viel zu knapp. Und es wartet nicht nur die Strömungsmechanik Klausur, sondern auch drei weitere Prüfungen rollen auf einen zu. In den empfohlenen Skripten und Lehrbüchern ergie

Overview: Includes the latest insights into the embedding of space in modern popular culture.Provides a unique analysis, offering readers an understanding of how space and popular culture intersect.Brings togetThis book provides detailed insights into how space and popular culture intersect across a broad spectrum of examples, including cinema, music, art, arcade games, cartoons, comics, and advertisements. This is a pertinent topic since the use of space themes differs in different cultural contexts, and these themes can be used to explore various aspects of the human condition and provide a

Overview: Explores the subject of ozone hole in the context of climate change.Includes coverage of the Arctic ozone hole.Provides a ‘holistic‘ overview of ozone hole research from inception to the presentThis book underscores the re-emergence of the ozone hole problem and deals with it in its current context of exacerbating global warming. It traces the history of the ozone hole from the stage of formation of the stratospheric ozone ‘layer’, millions of years ago, into the late 20th century when the anthropogenic destruction of that ozone was discovered.  The chapters are written to bring the

Overview: The research described in this book arose, in large part, from a sense of frustration. For a number of years I had been studying the physiology of the spinocervical tract, a somatosensory pathway, in the cat‘s spinal cord. But I did not know, precisely, where the cells of origin of the tract were located and therefore did not know what they looked like or whether there were any correlations between structure and function. It was true that electrophysiolo­ gical experiments had indicated their probable situation in the dorsal horn, and anatomical work had described the morphology of c

Overview: .Cooperation is pervasive throughout nature, but its origin remains an open question. For decades, social scientists, business leaders, and economists have struggled with an important question: why is cooperation so ubiquitous among unrelated humans? The answers would have profound effects because anything that promotes cooperation leads to more productive work environments and benefits society at large. Game theory provides an ideal framework for studying social dilemmas, or those situations in which people decide whether to cooperate with others (benefitting the group) or defect by

Overview: The General Assembly of the International Union of Theoreti­ cal and Applied Mechanics decided in Cambridge, United King­ dom, in 1982 to arrange the Symposium on Optical Methods in the Dynamics of Fluids and Solids. This decision was stimu­ lated by the fact that optical diagnostic methods are a more and more important tool in experimental mechanics. In contrast to the foregoing Symposium in Poitiers. 1976, which was devoted exclusively to optical methods in the me­ chanics of solids, it was a fruitful idea to bring together during the present Symposium scientists engaged in optical

Overview: Includes supplementary material: For the generation that reached sexual maturity in the 1960s, the “pill” became synonymous with sexual freedom and started a sexual revolution. For women it meant freedom from the fear of pregnancy, and for men enhanced sexual opportunity. The new era of the pill has nothing to do with fertility, but everything to do with sex. The first orally effective prescr- tion drug for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) was marketed in 1998. ® Sildenafil (Viagra ) has rejuvenated the aging male veterans of the sexual revolution, forever changed the science of se
