Overview: Objective medical decision~making has shown itself to be an emerging discipline which is sufficiently robust to promote its further development. This book identifies many important areas for applications in the field of acute patient care. The different approaches require testing, evaluation and mutual co~parisons to ensure that the right method is used to solve the existing problem. Medical sciences and patient care are increasingly supported by system sciences, resulting in growing multi- and interdisciplinary research and development areas. In this context, system sciences involve

Overview: Present-day scienceand technology have become increasingly based on studies and applications of thin films. This is especiallytrue of solid-state physics, semiconduc­ tor electronics, integrated optics, computer science, and the like. In these fields, it is necessary to use filmswith an ordered structure, especiallysingle-crystallinefilms, because physical phenomena and effects in such films are most reproducible. Also, active parts of semiconductor and other devices and circuits are created, as a rule, in single-crystal bodies. To date, single-crystallinefilms have been mainly epita

Overview: Ein Buch für Unternehmen, die vor der Entscheidung stehen: Outsourcing ja oder nein. Welche Gründe sind es, die immer mehr Unternehmen dazu veranlassen, ihr EDV-System aus dem eigenen Unternehmen auszugliedern und einem unabhängigen Servicegeber zu übertragen? Die Autoren gehen außerdem auf folgende Fragen ein: Welches sind die Vor- und Nachteile des Outsourcings, welche Risiken birgt es? Wie geht der Prozeß des Outsourcings vor sich? Welche Punkte müssen bei der Umsetzung berücksichtigt werden - bei der ersten Kontaktaufnahme, der Ausarbeitung eines Angebots, der Vertragserstellung

Overview: Demonstrates new methods for the design of control systems based on reinforcement learning.Presents new new approaches to dealing with disturbance rejections, control constraints, and time delays.IncoThis monograph explores the analysis and design of model-free optimal control systems based on reinforcement learning (RL) theory, presenting new methods that overcome recent challenges faced by RL.  New developments in the design of sensor data efficient RL algorithms are demonstrated that not only reduce the requirement of sensors by means of output feedback, but also ensure optimality

Overview: Between 1989 and 1992 three colloquia on transformation problems were held at the Ludwig-Reimers-Stiftung, Bad Homburg. At the end of the 1980s the collapse of the Soviet-type socialist economic system had become clear and, hence, the necessity to transform these systems into an entirely different eco­ nomic order. Similar processes have happened and still happen in other his­ torical constellations, for instance in developing countries. It has been the aim of the Transformation Colloquium to gain more theoretical insight into these phenomena. The object of research has been transfor

Overview: This is a graphica book, inspired by graphic novelists, graphic memoirists, graphic journalists, and comic book artists as well as arts-based researchers. The rich intra-action between the images, tex"This ground-breaking book on pedagogy, research, and philosophy in teacher education expands the imagination of justice-oriented education and arts-based scholarship. Based on a multi-year study of Jones’ use of feminist pedagogies, the book seamlessly moves between classroom practice, theory, and philosophy in a way that will offer something for everyone: those who are looking for new

Overview: Ärzte und Pflegende aus der Schweiz, aus Deutschland und Österreich haben in diesem Buch ihre jahrelangen Erfahrungen im Bereich der Pflege und Behandlung von Krebspatienten zusammengetragen. Die Autoren gehen von den Grundlagen der Onkologie aus, beschreiben dann die Diagnostik und Therapie bösartiger Tumoren sowie Aspekte der Psychoonkologie. Das Kernstück des Buches sind die Kapitel zu den häufigsten klinischen und pflegerischen Problemen sowie zu den Notfällen in der Onkologie. Auch technische Aspekte, die Sicherheit der Tumortherapie und die Krebsforschung werden von den Autoren

Overview: There are numerous criteria for measuring the growth and development of branches of chemistry. This valuable book illustrates a particular aspect of the growth of organosilicon chemistry. The extent of this field has developed so greatly in recent years that it now is desirable to reclassify parts to bring together hitherto frag­ mented and relatively disparate sections. This has been accomplished by the presently available large units which have been deSignated as "organosilicon heterocompounds. " Simplified expressions of such classification are structural units of the general type
