Overview: Written by experts, Gives a modern approach, Comprehensive in ScopeAfter having supervised the 30th doctoral thesis at the University of Lapland, Finland, Professor Kaarina Määttä invited the doctoral graduates and their circle of acquaintances to talk about their experiences of the process of writing a doctoral thesis and their opinions on good supervision and support. What did the dissertation process give and demand? Those who can answer this question are the ones who have defended their doctoral theses as well as the candidates’ spouses and professionals in the scientific communi

Overview: Written by experts, Gives a modern approach, Comprehensive in ScopeThe American Dream that crystallized around James Truslow Adams’ The Epic of America originally formulated in the early 1930s and was conditioned by a decade of complexity and contradiction, of big government projects, intensely fierce nationalism, the definition of the American way, and a distinctive collection of American iconic narratives has had the power and force to successively reshape America for every new generation. Indeed, Adam’s dream of opportunity for each according to ability or achievement shaped again

Overview: New object-oriented technologies have been conceived and implemented over the past decade in order to manage complexity inherent in information systems development. Research has spanned from information systems modelling languages (UML and OML) to databases (ODMG), from programming languages (Java) to middleware technology (CORBA). A more widespread use of the Internet has led to the emergence and integration of various other technologies, such as XML and database connectivity tools, allowing businesses to access and exchange information over the Internet. The main theme of OOIS 2000

Overview: It is our conviction that professional skill in forestry will develop more readily and more efficiently if forestry students are presented with a clear understanding of the im­ pact of the physical factors that both enhance and inhibit forestry activities. Part I is analytic, written as a basic text for undergradu­ ates in courses such as logging, transport, forest engineer­ ing and even forest management. It deals with the fundamen­ tals of technology in forestry as determined by the physical environment. The analytic approach serves two purposes, to bring about a clear understandin

Overview: People need dignity and autonomy at work. If they are denied this, there will be a strong tendency to resist working conditions and misbehave at work. This book presents and analyses stories about people‘s resistance in working life that make us reflect upon how employees are treated at work and consequences thereof.978-1-349-33396-7978-0-230-35463-0

Overview: Many firms have shifted from a Closed Innovation to an Open Innovation strategy. During such change, firms often focus on implementing new processes to identify and use external technologies and new markets. Adapting the innovation culture, however, is neglected and results in a nonsatisfying implementation success. Philipp Herzog develops a theoretical framework focusing on differences between Closed and Open Innovation cultures (e.g. NIH syndrome). Based on a multi-respondent survey among R&D employees in the chemical industry, he provides empirical evidence for many of the hypothe

Overview: An historical context of the development of global outsourcing with case study analysis in four countries where the industry is large or growing. It provides policy advice from employers to policy makers on how the growth of good quality jobs can be ensured as this industry grows and matures around the world.978-1-349-32058-5978-0-230-28988-8

Overview: Het boek bestaat uit twee delen. In deel I behandelen de auteurs de ontwikkelingsfasen die zich op het terrein van het personeelsbeleid hebben voorgedaan. Deze fasen worden beschreven en becommentarieerd tegen de achtergrond van veranderingen in de relatie tussen mens, arbeid, organisatie en maatschappij. De auteurs wijzen er onder meer op dat personeelsfunctionarissen zich meer moeten gaan inzetten om arbeidsorganisaties ook in bedrijfsethisch opzicht goed te laten functioneren. In deel II bespreken de auteurs de diverse aandachtsgebieden van de personeelsfunctie, zowel in hun onder

Overview: Includes cutting-edge techniques.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key implementation advice from the expertsThis detailed volume provides a robust set of methods to understand variation between patients with ovarian cancers, in vitro models to better study different stages of the disease, and in vivo models to test therapies. Beginning with clinical perspectives to orient basic scientists, the book continues with sections exploring methods to characterize features of the tumor microenvironment (TME), techniques to isolate cells for in vitro stu

Overview: Describes the most cost-effective and time-efficient way for any amateur astronomer to begin to photograph the deep-sky.Looks at all the basics: what equipment will be needed, how color imaging is car.This book shows amateur astronomers how to use one-shot CCD cameras, and how to get the best out of equipment that exposes all three color images at once. Because this book is specifically devoted to one-shot imaging, "One-Shot Color Astronomical Imaging" begins by looking at all the basics - what equipment will be needed, how color imaging is done, and most importantly, what specific s

Overview: Includes supplementary material: According to a long tradition in philosophy of science, a clear cut distinction can be traced between a context of discovery and a context of justification. This tradition dates back to the birth of the discipline in connection with the Circles of Vienna and Berlin, in the twenties and thirties of last century. Convicted that only the context of justification is pertinent to philosophy of science, logical empiricists identified its goal with the “rational reconstruction” of scientific knowledge, taken as the clarification of the logical structure of s

Overview: Publication in the field of technical sciences.Includes supplementary material: Max Gath presents a multiagent system for the optimization of transport logistics in highly complex and dynamic domains. The described solution dynamically optimizes processes and provides a high flexibility, scalability, robustness, and adaptability to individual customer demands. The experimental evaluation points out the effectiveness and efficiency by using the example of commonly applied benchmarks as well as two case studies in groupage traffic and in courier, express, and parcel services with same-

Overview: One of the characteristics of the development of chemical science in the middle of the present century is the vigorous pro­ gress of the "third chemistry," which is often named now the chemistry of heteroorganic compounds. Then in the last decade, among specialists in this field there has been a marked increase in interest in heteroatomic organic derivatives of silicon, i. e. , heteroorganic silicon compounds. However, until recently this new class of chemical substances, which is extremely interesting theoretically and practically, has been without a single specialized monograph whi

Overview: Innovative and inspiring: Open business models for financial institutions.A plea for thinking outside of organizational boundaries.Includes supplementary material: .Open innovation means gathering new ideas from sources beyond organizational boundaries. It occurs when solutions to address clients’ needs are developed in collaboration and the resulting products and services are distributed through a flexible network of partners. Daniel Fasnacht’s book, the first of its kind, discusses open business models in the context of the financial services industry. He elaborates the drivers for
