Overview: This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited accessThis Open Access book explores the dilemma-like stalemate between security and regulatory compliance in business processes on the one hand and business continuity and governance on the other. The growing number of regulations, e.g., on information security, data protection, or privacy, implemented in increasingly digitized businesses can have an obstructive effect on the automated execution of business processes. Such security-related obstructions can particularly occur when an access control-based implement

Overview: A system may be studied by distinguishing its major components, characterizing the changes in them by differential equations that form their simplified representa­ tions, and then interconnecting these representations to obtain a model of the original system. Developing the model is the systems synthesis phase. The behaviour of the model may now be studied and compared with experimental results obtained from the system. This research method is called systems analysis and simulation. Systems analysis and simulation can serve to make predictions, to improve the insight in systems, and

Overview: Presents the current state of knowledge concerning obesity, diabetes, and inflammation.Covers vascular pathology, oxidative stress, advanced glycation, gestational diabetes, and more.Excellent for res.Obesity is a worldwide epidemic that affects half a billion people. It has been estimated that, if current trends continue, by 2050, 60% of men and 50% of women worldwide will be obese. Hypertrophy and hyperplasia of white adipose tissue caused by overweight and obesity lead to a chronic inflammatory state, which results in impaired insulin sensitivity and the development of diabetes. C

Overview: Includes cutting-edge techniques.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Contains key implementation advice from the expertsThis detailed book explores techniques for further elucidating the peripheral and central roles of oxytocin as well as techniques key to oxytocin receptor-related drug discovery. The first set of chapters explore this neuropeptide’s peripheral and central effects, such as regulation of myometrial contraction, induction of cardioprotective effects, and the facilitation of pro-social behaviors. The book then continues by delving into a comp

Overview: During the last two decades, the idea of Semantic Web has received a great deal of attention. An extensive body of knowledge has emerged to describe technologies that seek to help us create and use aspects of the Semantic Web. Ontology and agent-based technologies are understood to be the two important technologies here. A large number of articles and a number of books exist to describe the use individually of the two technologies and the design of systems that use each of these technologies individually, but little focus has been given on how one can - sign systems that carryout int

Overview: Presents new findings on how to integrate homeownership and private old-age security in Europe.Features case studies from six European countries.Provides detailed insights into the complexity of priva.In light of demographic change and the growing problems of traditional old-age security systems, this book discusses two essential instruments in connection with privately providing for old-age security: (1) savings in private pension schemes and (2) building up equity for home-ownership. Further, it assesses the relationship between the two instruments and offers a unique overview of t

Overview: Object-oriented database systems have been approached with mainly two major intentions in mind, namely to better support new application areas including CAD/CAM, office automation, knowledge engineering, and to overcome the `impendance mismatch‘ between data models and programming languages. This volume gives a comprehensive overwiew of developments in this flourishing area of current database research. Data model and language aspects, interface and database design issues, architectural and implementation questions are covered. Although based on a series of workshops, the contents of

Overview: .Die Studie untersucht, wie Kultur- und Medienarbeiter*innen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ihre arbeitsbezogenen Interessen organisieren und vertreten. Hierzu entwickelt der Autor einen theoretischen Bezugsrahmen, der ein politikwissenschaftliches Grundverständnis von "organisierten Interessen" mittels arbeits- und industriesoziologischen Perspektiven schärft und um Überlegungen aus jüngeren Forschungsprogrammen zu bewegungsorientierten Erneuerungsoptionen für arbeitsbezogene und speziell gewerkschaftliche Organisierung ergänzt. Auf dieser Basis erfolgt eine systematische und kri

Overview: Current status of research about insects.Full-description of the insect olfactory system.New insect pest control methods, alternative to insecticide.Evolution gave rise to a prominent insect diversity at every level of ecological niche. Since then, hordes of insects have threatened human and cattle health as well as most of all green lands and agricultural crops. Now, the insect problem expands from many mutant forms of yellow dengue fever mosquitoes to highly-resistant larvae of most all various phytophageous species. The tremendous expansion of insects is due not only to an increas

Overview: A convex function f may be called sublinear in the following sense; if a linear function l is ::=: j at the boundary points of an interval, then l:> j in the interior of that interval also. If we replace the terms interval and linear junction by the terms domain and harmonic function, we obtain a statement which expresses the characteristic property of subharmonic functions of two or more variables. This ge­ neralization, formulated and developed by F. RIEsz, immediately at­ tracted the attention of many mathematicians, both on account of its intrinsic interest and on account of the
