Overview: Medienunternehmen müssen bei ihrer Preissetzung zwei Besonderheiten berücksichtigen: Sie agieren auf zweiseitigen Märkten, und die Nachfrage ihrer Kunden ist flexibel. Zweiseitige Märkte sind dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Unternehmen zwei Gruppen von Kunden haben, deren Nachfrage interdependent ist. Z. B. verkaufen Messeveranstalter Standfläche an A- steller und Eintrittskarten an Besucher von Messen. Dabei hängt die Nachfrage der Aussteller nicht nur vom Standflächenpreis ab, sondern auch von der Anzahl der Messebesucher. Und die Besucher machen ihre Nachfragen nicht nur vom Eintritt

Overview: Presents the neurocomputer of the second generation (dynamic pulsed neural networks and its implementation on semiconductors).Well structured interdisciplinary and introductory book on artificial brai.This book presents a first generation of artificial brains, using vision as sample application. An object recognition system is built, using neurons and synapses as exclusive building elements. The system contains a feature pyramid with 8 orientations and 5 resolution levels for 1000 objects and networks for binding of features into objects. This vision system can recognize objects robu

Overview: Presents results of Submillimeter Array (SMA) and Very Large Array (VLA) studies of massive-star formation regions in the early stages of ionization.Author has received the 2010 Doxey Prize, given outThe most massive stars in the galaxy - those with more than 15 to 20 solar masses - are lilkely to ionize their surroundings before they reach their final mass. How can they accrete in spite of the presence of over-pressurized gas? .This thesis presents results of Submillimeter Array (SMA) and Very Large Array (VLA) studies of massive star formation regions in the early stages of ionizat

Overview: Leading state-of-the art researchers explore the interface of Operations Research and Computer Science.Editors are preeminent in their fields and reflect a mix of practice and research.Cyber-infrastru.Operations Research and Cyber-Infrastructure. is the companion volume to the Eleventh INFORMS Computing Society Conference (ICS 2009), held in Charleston, South Carolina, from January 11 to 13, 2009. It includes 24 high-quality refereed research papers.  As always, the focus of interest for ICS is the interface between Operations Research and Computer Science, and the papers in this vol

Overview: .Oceanic basalts are the most abundant rock type found at the earth‘s surface, and as such they have been the subject of considerable research, particularly since the concept of sea-floor spreading became widely accepted. This book provides a review of these rocks, first dicussing how we sample the ocean floor and what we know about the structure of the oceanic crust, followed by an overview of the various regional settings (Pacific crust, Atlantic crust, marginal basins, seamounts and islands) and finally examines the main processes (and their interactions) which prevail during the

Overview: The articles in this book constitute the proceedings papers from the IFIP WG 8.2 Working Conference, "IS2000: The Social and Organizational Perspective on Research and Practice in Information Technology," held June 1 0-12, 2000, in Aalborg, Denmark. The focus of the conference, and therefore this book, is on the basic aim of the working group, namely, the investigation of the interrelationships among four major components: information systems (IS), information technology (IT), organizations, and society. This basic social and organizational perspective on research and practice in inf

Overview: Als vor einigen Jahren das World Wide Web (WWW) in ersten Ansätzen erkennbar wurde, fragte ich unseren damaligen Webmaster, was eigentlich dieses WWW sein soll. Er antwortete daraufhin sinngemäß: "WWW ist wie Fernsehen - es stehen öffent­ lich Unmengen an Informationen bereit, die sich jedermann nach Bedarf ansehen kann, die einzelnen Server haben dabei eine ähnliche Funktion wie Fernsehkanäle." Auch wenn diese Metapher ein wenig hinkt, da beim Fernsehen z.B. keine Navigationspfade von Kanal zu Kanal vorhanden sind, so zeugte dieser Erklärungsversuch doch von un­ geahnter Voraussicht

Overview: Oral communication is quite different in its spontaneity and communicative power from textual and visual communication. Culturally-bounded expectations of ways of speaking and individual creativity provide the spark that can ignite revolution or calm the soul. This book explores, from a cross-cultural perspective, the centrality of orality in the ideological processes that dominate public discourse, providing a counterbalance to the debates that foreground literacy and the power of written communication.978-1-349-51706-0978-0-230-51011-1

Overview: The Segovia meeting set out to stimulate an intensive exchange of ideas between experts in the area of orthogonal polynomials and its applications, to present recent research results and to reinforce the scientific and human relations among the increasingly international community working in orthogonal polynomials. This volume contains original research papers as well as survey papers about fundamental questions in the field (Nevai, Rakhmanov & López) and its relationship with other fields such as group theory (Koornwinder), Padé approximation (Brezinski), differential equations (Kra

Overview: Provides a detailed overview of all aspects of quantified risk assessment (QRA), making it an essential guide for graduate students, researchers, consultants, and safety authorities.Adds a new focus o.This is the first textbook to address quantified risk assessment (QRA) as specifically applied to offshore installations and operations. As the first part of the two-volume updated and expanded fourth edition, it adds a new focus on the EU Offshore Safety Directive, and discusses the new perspective on risk from the Norwegian Petroleum Safety Authority, followed by new and updated inter

Overview: Publication in the field of economic sciences.Includes supplementary material: .Tim Posselt investigates the factors leading to organizational competence for servitization - a key strategic alternative in times of digitalization and globalization -, and analyses the transformation process servitizing firms undergo. He explores the issue through conceptual research and case studies, and identifies the ability to access and leverage customer knowledge as the foundation of successful servitization. The findings provide valuable insight for managers looking to strengthen their service bu

Overview: Collects decades of knowledge regarding optimal space flight navigation theory in an accessible manner.Emphasizes an analytical approach to optimal space navigation.Guides readers from basic to advancThis book consolidates decades of knowledge on space flight navigation theory, which has thus far been spread across various research articles. By gathering this research into a single text, it will be more accessible to students curious about the study of space flight navigation. Books on optimal control theory and orbital mechanics have not adequately explored the field of space flight

Overview: The correlation of spectroscopic and chemical investigations in recent years has been highly beneficial of many reasons. Around 1950, no valid explanation was available of the colours of compounds of the five tran­ sition groups. Later, it was possible to identify the excited levels with those expected for an electron configuration with adefinite number of electrons in the partly filled shell. I t is not generally recognized that this is equivalent to determining spectroscopic oxidation states related to the preponderant electron configuration and not to estimates of the fractional a

Overview: Presents cephalopods in the combined context of cultural history, biology, animal behavior, food resources, sustainability, gastroscience, gastronomy, and cooking.Explores the many possibilities for c.Humans everywhere have always been fascinated by octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish, known biologically as cephalopods. They evolved hundreds of millions of years ago and are related to molluscs such as mussels and snails. They can grow to an enormous size with eyes as big as footballs, but they still live for only a couple of years. They mate once in their lifetime and die shortly after.
