Overview: Considers Aenesidemus’ overlooked way of apprehending time.Explores Pyrrho‘s non-differential approach to reality.Makes links with Pali Buddhism and contemporary interpretations of time and reality in.Today’s understanding of time remains mostly Aristotelian and Newtonian/Einsteinian: time is what has been abstracted from the mundane realities of life and reduced to its measurement. Any somatic, psychological, or other experience of time is deemed either irrelevant or secondary. The history of the attempts to provide alternatives to time as measurement is infinite, most of which focu

Overview: This book is about orthomorphisms and complete mappings ofgroups, andrelated constructions of orthogonal latinsquares. It brings together, forthe first time in bookform, many of the results in this area. The aim of this bookis to lay the foundations for a theory of orthomorphismgraphsof groups, and to encourage research in this area. Tothis end, manydirections for future research are suggested.The material in this book should be accessible to anygraduate student who has taken courses in algebra (grouptheory and field theory). It will mainly be useful inresearch on combinatorial desig

Overview: Presents a unified view of sets and graphs and their use for natural representation of finite structures.Casts combinatorial issues arising at the core of different disciplines in clear computational This treatise presents an integrated perspective on the interplay of set theory and graph theory, providing an extensive selection of examples that highlight how methods from one theory can be used to better solve problems originated in the other. Features: explores the interrelationships between sets and graphs and their applications to finite combinatorics; introduces the fundamental g

Overview: Zeitung online - ein Printmedium im InternetDas Forschungsprojekt "Online-Die Zukunft der Zeitung?" wurde in der Zeit von November 1996 bis Juli 1998 am Lehrstuhl für Journalistik II der Katho­ lischen Universität Eichstätt durchgeführt. Ziel war eine Bestandsaufnahme des Engagements deutscher Tageszeitungen im Internet, wobei sowohl Journalisten und Nutzer befragt als auch die Angebote selbst analysiert werden sollten. Die Ergebnisse dieses Projekts bilden die Basis für diesen Sammelband. Sie werden ergänzt um einige Beiträge, die den Blickwinkel weiten und vor allem Auslands­ erfah

Overview: Develops the turnpike theory for optimal control problems arising in the forest management.Establishes the existence of solutions of infinite horizon optimal control problems arising in forest managemThis book is devoted to the study of optimal control problems arising in forest management, an important and fascinating topic in mathematical economics studied by many researchers over the years. The volume studies the forest management problem by analyzing a class of optimal control problems that contains it and showing the existence of optimal solutions over infinite horizon. It also

Overview: Covers key issues particularly ethical questions for organizations in post modern, secular societies.Explores issues for organizational leaders and public policy makers.Examines the bureaucratic strucThis book explores an undeveloped area in postmodern thought:  organizational ethics.  Ethical debates and analyses usually focus on a particular act or action, an actor, and/or how a secular society should address any of those particular persons or events. In the Post Modern age, ethical decisions and policies are characterized by moral and cultural pluralism.  However, there is a secon

Overview: Analyzes the implications of different legislative measures, bilateral and regional agreements in the context of trade, investment and mobility of labour, focusing on India and the EU.Examines the conThis book explores the dilemmas posed by globalisation in various aspects of law. It covers diverse themes, ranging from the impact of different legislative measures, bilateral and regional agreements in the context of trade, investment and mobility of labour, to concerns about sustainability, equity, regional balance and social security in the light of globalisation. Although it focuses

Overview: Approaches the topic from a practical perspective, providing the relevant theoretical backdrop yet allowing a practical understanding of how to benefit from FTAs.Relevant to both practitioners and stuOrigin Management describes a holistic approach that allows internationally operating companies to benefit from reduced import duty rates within Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). Through the creation of a single, auditable, and global platform, companies are enabled to successfully claim preferential origin and sustain, review and audit preferential treatment claims. Seeking to provide a com

Overview: Due to its extraordinary predictive power and the great generality of its mathematical structure, quantum theory is able, at least in principle, to describe all the microscopic and macroscopic properties of the physical world, from the subatomic to the cosmological level. Nevertheless, ever since the Copen­ hagen and Gottingen schools in 1927 gave it the definitive formu­ lation, now commonly known as the orthodox interpretation, the theory has suffered from very serious logical and epistemologi­ cal problems. These shortcomings were immediately pointed out by some of the principal f

Overview: This book includes extended and revised versions of selected papers from the 11th and 12th editions of the International Conference on Operations Research and Enterprise Systems (ICORES 2022 and ICORES 2023).
