Overview: ​This book contains selected papers presented at the "International Annual Conference of the German Operations Research Society (OR2012)" which was held September 4 -7, 2012 at the Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany. The international conference, which also serves as the annual meeting of the German Operations Research Society (GOR), attracted more than 500 participants from more than 39 countries. Special attention at the conference was given to the three topics "Energy, Markets and Mobility". The OR2012 conference has addressed these topics from an OR perspective, treating them

Overview: .Das Buch bearbeitet in einem neuen Format (Orientierungslagen) an 50 Studierenden die Fachsozialisation eines integralen Studiengangs zwischen Theologie und Sozialer Arbeit.  Die Sichtweise auf die Vereinbarkeit der disziplinären Binnenlogiken ist dabei höchst subjektiv und wird, unter den Annahmen und Erwartungen der Bedeutung des Religiösen für soziales Arbeiten den Studierenden zur Herausforderung. Die individuellen Veränderungen in Elementarorientierungen während des Studiums verweisen auf aktuelle Gründe (Relationalität) und hinterfragen die gängige Aufbereitung von beruflichen

Overview: The addition of chemotherapy as an effective means to treat cancer has had a major impact on selected human malignancies. Due to a general inability to dif­ ferentiate between normal and neoplastic cells, little selectivity exists in currently used oncolytic drugs. Consequently, significant toxicity to the patient is expected when systemic cancer chemotherapy is chosen as an appropriate therapeutic in­ tervention. Much of this toxicity, such as damage to the bone marrow, gastroin­ testinal tract, or hair follicles, is predictable based upon the fact that anticancer drugs kill activel

Overview: Investigates the practices of oral history with an eye toward critiquing its failures in relationship to other strands of historical analysis.Provides a comprehensive examination of the conceptual app..This book considers if and how oral history is‘best practice’ for education. International scholars, practitioners, andteachers consider conceptual approaches, methodological limitations, andpedagogical possibilities of oral history education. These experts ask if andhow oral history enables students to democratize history; provides studentswith a lens for understanding nation-states’

Overview: Proposes a new design structure that overcomes uncertainty in the input period of periodic systems.Reduces the necessity to trade off periodic performance against lowered measurement noise and stricte.Optimal Linear Controller Design for Periodic Inputs proposes a general design methodology for linear controllers facing periodic inputs which applies to all feedforward control, estimated disturbance feedback control, repetitive control and feedback control. The design methodology proposed is able to reproduce and outperform the major current design approaches, where this superior perf

Overview: .Optimal control and differential games continue to attract strong interest from researchers interested in dynamical problems and models in management science. This volume explores the application of these methodologies to new as well as to classical decision problems in management sciences and economics. In Part I, optimal control and dynamical systems approaches are used to analyze problems in areas such as monetary policy, pollution control, relationship marketing, drug control, debt financing, and ethical behavior. In Part II differential games are applied to problems such as oli

Overview: This is the first book in healthcare ethics addressing themoral issues regarding ownership of the human body. Modern medicineincreasingly transforms the body and makes use of body parts fordiagnostic, therapeutic and preventive purposes. The book analyzes theconcept of body ownership.
