Overview: The second volume in a series of three focuses on organizational virtues and vices, as well as abilities of organizations, and legendary organizations that have become mythical in themselves. These narratives are presented as organizational sagas to reveal an archetypal dimension of organizing and organizations.978-1-349-35414-6978-0-230-58360-3

Overview: Deponieabdichtungssysteme sollen ihre Funktionsfähigkeit über einen weitaus längeren Zeitraum als konventionelle Bauwerke erhalten. Bei Basisabdichtungen kommt erschwerend hinzu, daß sie praktisch nicht zu reparieren sind, keiner Wartung unterzogen werden können und Schadensfälle, d. h. Grundwasserkontaminationen erst mit großer zeitlicher Verzögerung registriert werden können. Daher ist die Optimierung von Deponieabdichtungen besonders im Hinblick auf das Langzeitverhalten der zum Einsatz kommenden Baumaterialien von großem Interesse. Neueste Erkenntnisse erlauben einen aktuellen Ei

Overview: Offers balanced assessment of pro-meat and anti-meat arguments in relation to climate change.Outlines approaches farmers in each livestock system can take to improve their carbon footprint.Explains ho.In the ongoing effort to combat global climate catastrophe, animal agriculture has long been a subject of contention. On the one hand, most agree that across the world increasing meat and dairy consumption are accelerating anthropogenic climate change. On the other hand, proponents of the livestock industry argue that modern advancements reduce greenhouse gas emissions from efficient li

Overview: Optimization Theory is becoming a more and more important mathematical as well as interdisciplinary area, especially in the interplay between mathematics and many other sciences like computer science, physics, engineering, operations research, etc. .This volume gives a comprehensive introduction into the theory of (deterministic) optimization on an advanced undergraduate and graduate level. One main feature is the treatment of both continuous and discrete optimization at the same place. This allows to study the problems under different points of view, supporting a better understandin

Overview: Investitionen in junge, innovative Start-up-Unternehmen sind mit großen Chancen verbunden. Sie bergen jedoch auch spezielle Risiken, die nicht nur aus der Anwendung neuer Geschäftsmodelle und unerprobter Technologien resultieren. Vielmehr existieren auch endogene Risiken, die aus der extremen doppelseitigen Informationsasymmetrie folgen, die zu jedem Zeitpunkt der Vertragsbeziehung zwischen Unternehmern und ihren Kapitalgebern besteht. Diese kann von beiden Seiten dazu genutzt werden, ihre eigenen, mit der Unternehmensgründung verfolgten Interessen auf Kosten der anderen Partei durch

Overview: This book collects the papers published by A. Borel from 1983 to 1999. About half of them are research papers, written on his own or in collaboration, on various topics pertaining mainly to algebraic or Lie groups, homogeneous spaces, arithmetic groups (L2-spectrum, automorphic forms, cohomology and covolumes), L2-cohomology of symmetric or locally symmetric spaces, and to the Oppenheim conjecture. Other publications include surveys and personal recollections (of D. Montgomery, Harish-Chandra, and A. Weil), considerations on mathematics in general and several articles of a historical

Overview: Summarizes scientific advances in our understanding of the interrelationship between obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) and schizophrenia.Offers a broader view of the heterogeneous co-occurrence of OThis book summarizes scientific advances in our understanding of the interrelationship between obsessive-compulsive symptoms and schizophrenia and reflects on the implications for future research directions. In addition, guidelines are provided on practical assessment, diagnosis and treatment interventions, covering both pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. The book acknowledges the need f

Overview: Nachdem die 6. umgearbeitete und erweiterte Auflage des Buches "Praktikum der organisch-präparativen pharmazeutischen Chemie und Lehrbuch der orga­ nisch-chemischen Arzneimittelanalyse" von Karl Winterfeld (Dresden 1965) vergriffen ist, sind die beiden unterzeichneten Verlage mit dem Autor überein­ gekommen, einen Nachdruck des analytischen Teiles der 6. Auflage unter dem Titel "Organisch-chemische Arzneimittelanalyse" herauszugeben. Damit wird einem vielfältigen Wunsch der Pharmaziestudenten und pharmazeutischen Praktikanten in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland entsprochen. Für eine er

Overview: This text is intended to provide an in-depth, self-contained, treatment of optical waveguide theory. We have attempted to emphasize the underlying physical processes, stressing conceptual aspects, and have developed the mathematical analysis to parallel the physical intuition. We also provide comprehensive supplementary sections both to augment any deficiencies in mathematical background and to provide a self-consistent and rigorous mathematical approach. To assist in. understanding, each chapter con­ centrates principally on a single idea and is therefore comparatively short. Furthe

Overview: Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key notes and implementation advice from the experts.This book aims to provide a guide for virologists, translational researchers, and clinicians in the field of cancer research by providing reference protocols and methodologies from vector development through clinical translation.   Written in the highly successful .Methods in Molecular Biology .series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, ste

Overview: It is the aim of the present study to introduce the reader to the ways of thinking of those contemporary philosophers who apply the tools of symbolic logic to classical philosophical problems. Unlike the "conti­ nental" reader for whom this work was originally written, the English­ speaking reader will be more familiar with most of the philosophers dis­ cussed in this book, and he will in general not be tempted to dismiss them indiscriminately as "positivists" and "nominalists". But the English version of this study may help to redress the balance in another respect. In view of the p

Overview: How-to-do” approach to the techniques employed in oncoplastic and reconstructive breast surgery.Detailed guidance and advice from international experts.Ideal reference work for surgical fellows and spOncoplastic and reconstructive surgery combines the most up-to-date techniques in plastic surgery with surgery for breast cancer, providing optimal oncologic and aesthetic results by means of a single procedure. This book demonstrates why oncoplastic surgery represents such an exciting tool for surgeons who undertake breast surgery. Fundamental principles and basic concepts are clearly o

Overview: .Like the first Abel Symposium, held in 2004, the Abel Symposium 2015 focused on operator algebras. It is interesting to see the remarkable advances that have been made in operator algebras over these years, which strikingly illustrate the vitality of the field. A total of 26 talks were given at the symposium on a variety of themes, all highlighting the richness of the subject..The field of operator algebras was created in the 1930s and was motivated by problems of quantum mechanics. It has subsequently developed well beyond its initial intended realm of applications and expanded int

Overview: Concise, digestible and relevant legal advice to ensure the outsourcing deal delivers on its promise.Checklist for companies to ensure critical factors are adequately addressed within their contract w.For the benefits offered by outsourcing and offshoring, organisations outsourcing to India must however recognise that there are real risks involved, and allocating such risk through a well constructed contract is a crucial step in minimizing such risk. As is the case with respect to any material agreement, the structure of an outsourcing agreement is important because it embodies the r

Overview: th The 4 ESO CCO Workshop, Optical Detectors for Astronomy, was held during September 13-16, 1999 at its usual location, the headquarters of the European Southern Observatory in Garching, Germany. We prefer to remember this workshop as a "meeting of friends", who came to Garching to visit ESO and to present their work, rather than a formal meeting. Based on our experience with the 1996 ESO CCO workshop, we deliberately put emphasis on creating an environment that encouraged the participants to stay together and informally exchange ideas. These informal events began with a tour of the
