Overview: From the viewpoint of a health economist, the intensive care unit (leU) is a particularly fascinating phenomenon. It is the epitome of "high-tech" medicine and frequently portrayed as the place where life-saving miracles are routinely wrought. But the popular imagina­ tion is also caught up in the darker side, when agonizing decisions have to be made to avoid futile and inhuman continuation of expen­ sive treatments. My analytical interests led me to approach these issues by asking what the evidence tells us about which leu activities are very bene­ ficial in relationship to their co

Overview: Explores best practices, tools and methods to combat overtourism.Provides a critical view of overtourism, questioning whether it is a real phenomenon or whether it is driven by media attention.Include.The term ‘overtourism’ has come into prominence since 2017 and refers to the fact that, due to various factors such as more sophisticated marketing strategies, a large number of tourists visit the same place at the same time. The consequences are felt by the locals, the tourists themselves as well as the environment. As a result, tourismphobia and anti-tourism movements have emerged as

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: .Michael Jüttemeier gibt – basierend auf einer rund dreijährigen, prozessbegleitenden Analyse – erstmals Antworten auf die Frage, inwiefern die Fusion des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT) die spezifischen Organisationsstrukturen, Zentralverwaltungen und Wissenschaftskulturen der KIT-Vorgängerorganisationen erfasste und veränderte. Der Autor zeigt, dass die Fusion nicht zu einer Auflösung der KIT-Vorgängerorganisationen führte, sondern zu asymmetrischen Restrukturierungsprozessen in der Zentralverwaltung, deren

Overview: Focuses on big data in optimal control and systems engineering and how big data can provide new opportunities to improve decision making.Offers a well-balanced set of chapters that span theoretical re.This book focuses on optimal control and systems engineering in the big data era. It examines the scientific innovations in optimization, control and resilience management that can be applied to further success. In both business operations and engineering applications, there are huge amounts of data that can overwhelm computing resources of large-scale systems. This “big data” provides

Overview: On behalf of the editorial board and the organizing committee of the 4th congress of the International Society of Ocular Toxicology (I SOT), held in AnnecyNeyrier du Lac, France, October 9 -13, 1994, we are pleased to present to the ocular toxicology community this indexed volume of our congress proceedings. The 4th congress was designed primarily to facilitate and update the knowledge in ocular electrophysiology and ocular pharmacokinetics, in both the clinical and preclinical aspects. The outcome of this 4th congress, established in this volume, is a useful contribution to the meth

Overview: Presents key examples of how mathematical modeling can be used to solve issues concerning environmental sustainability.Includes a case study on using fuzzy weighted multivariate regression to predict .This book explores key examples concerning the implementation of information technology and mathematical modeling to solve issues concerning environmental sustainability. The examples include using fuzzy weighted multivariate regression to predict the water quality index at Perak River in Malaysia; using wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for a remote river water pollution monitoring syste

Overview: The first major work to deal with amateur observation of binary stars · Recommends the best commercial amateur equipment · Describes all the relevant measurement methods · Include practical observing Double stars are the rule, rather than the exception: our solar system, having a single sun, is in the minority. Orbiting satellites, ground-based observatories and interferometers have all helped discover many hundreds of new pairs - but this has left enormous numbers of wide, faint pairs under-observed or not observed at all. This is where amateur astronomers can help. Bob Argyle, a pr

Overview: During the last few years, the theory of operator algebras,particularly non-self-adjoint operator algebras, has evolveddramatically, experiencing both international growth and interfacingwith other important areas. The present volume presents a survey ofsome of the latest developments in the field in a form that isdetailed enough to be accessible to advanced graduate students as wellas researchers in the field. .Among the topics treated are: operator spaces, Hilbert modules, limitalgebras, reflexive algebras and subspaces, relations to basis theory,C* algebraic quantum groups, endomo

Overview: Provides an analysis of both the supply and demand side of the energy grid.Supplies new formulae for the modeling and control of energy systems.Presents key case studies that demonstrate the efficacy .This book presents mathematical models of demand-side management programs, together with operational and control problems for power and renewable energy systems. It reflects the need for optimal operation and control of today’s electricity grid at both the supply and demand spectrum of the grid. This need is further compounded by the advent of smart grids, which has led to increased cus

Overview: The poetry of the Great War is among the most powerful ever written in the English language. Unique for its immediacy and searing honesty, it has made a fundamental contribution to our understanding of and response to war and the suffering it creates.

Overview: Thirty years‘ close assocIatIOn with the Oil Industry has been a fascinating and stimulating experience; fascinating because the Oil Industry itself is so full of interest and stimulating because of the challenges which changes in technology have brought about. No longer is oil easily obtainable and no longer can oil be found in exotic regions of the globe. On the contrary, if oil is required it is more likely to be found in the bitter Alaskan ice-fields or in the cold depths of the North Sea, where environments are hostile to man and a challenge to technology. Man‘s own activities i
