Overview: This book is the product of 30 years of experience with program evalua­ tion. During this time, both service recipients and educational and social programs have experienced major cultural and political shifts in service delivery philosophy, including a focus on quality, mainstreaming, deinsti­ tutionalization, community inclusion, and an emphasis on measurable outcomes. Recently stakeholders of these programs have demanded more than just the provision of service, forcing program administrators to evalu­ ate their programs‘ effectiveness and efficiency. The "era of accoun­ tability" i

Overview: Das zentrale Problem bei der Performancemessung von Investmentfonds ist die korrekte Erfassung des Fondsrisikos. Ein Fondsportfolio kann für den Anleger riskanter sein, als es für den Fondsmanager aussieht. Verantwortlich hierfür ist das Managementrisiko der Fondsanleger, das von der Offenlegungspolitik des Fonds abhängig ist. ..Klaus Kreuzberg analysiert die Auswirkungen regelmäßiger Portfoliooffenlegungen für Investmentfonds und deren Anleger. Im Mittelpunkt stehen folgende Fragen:.." Welchen Einfluss hat die Offenlegungspolitik von Fonds auf das optimale Anlageverhalten von Fondsm

Overview: by Luea Cardelli Ever since Strachey‘s work in the 1960‘s, polymorphism has been classified into the parametric and overloading varieties. Parametric polymorphism has been the subject of extensive study for over two decades. Overloading, on the other hand, has often been considered too ad hoc to deserve much attention even though it has been, in some form, an ingredient of virtually every programming lan­ guage (much more so than parametric polymorphism). With the introduction of object-oriented languages, and in particular with multiple-dispatch object-oriented languages, overloadin

Overview: While there are many resources for students studying to pass an OSCE, there are nearly none for educators who administer OSCEs.The only reference that discusses how to implement an entire SP program a.Objective structured clinical examinations/exercises (OSCEs) using standardized patients (SPs) are an efficient means of surveying a diverse range of ability at any point along the continuum of medical education. An OSCE station can address multiple competency assessments across undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education. Nevertheless, organizing and enacting OSCEs is a m

Overview: 1.1 Preface Organic chemistry had its origin in chemicals which are synthesized by living cells. These chemicals consist of molecules whose skeletons are built up of carbon atoms. The remaining valences are connected with ligands such as hydrogen, halo­ gens, -OH,==O, -NH . Some of the skeletal carbon atoms can be replaced by non­ 2 metals such as oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur {"heteroatoms"}. It is characteristic for the living world, not to be in a crystalline state. However it is possible to obtain single crystals from many organic compounds both of natural and synthetic origin. For

Overview: This volume deals with physical properties of electrically one-dimensional conductors. It includes both a description of basic concepts and a review of recent progress in research. One-dimensional conductors are those materials in which an electric current flows easily in one specific crystal direction while the resistivity is very high in transverse directions. It was about 1973 when much attention began to be focussed on them and investigations started in earnest. The research was stimulated by the successful growth of crystals of the organic conductor TTF-TCNQ and of the inorganic

Overview: Die Mundwerbung stellt einen maßgeblichen Treiber des Diffusionserfolges von Produkten dar. Michael Möller untersucht persönlichkeitsspezifisch die Abgabe von Online-Kundenartikulationen und damit den Zusammenhang zwischen Persönlichkeitsstruktur und dessen Einfluss auf die Meinungsführerschaft in der Online-Umgebung. Die Ergebnisse aus zwei Erhebungen mit über 17.000 Teilnehmern, bieten einen wirtschaftlich nutzbringenden Einsatz, da die Beachtung einer bisher vernachlässigten Personengruppe sowohl die Diffusion als auch den Entwicklungsprozess von Neuprodukten stark begünstigen kan

Overview: Since its inception in 1973, The International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT) has provided a unique forum to facilitate and encourage scientific interaction and debate. Welcoming scientists and clinicians from a broad spectrum of disciplines, each with their own particular skills and expertise, ISOTT unites them under the common theme of oxygen transport. The successful blend of scientific presentations and informal discussion which characterizes ISOTT is epitomized best by the many fundamental discoveries and technical advancements which it has spawned. The breadth an
