Overview: Die bisher überwiegend von deutschen Unternehmen bevorzugte Freisetzungälterer Mitarbeiter könnte sich als kostspieliger Fehler erweisen. Ältere Mitarbeiter sind nicht zwangsläufig weniger leistungsfähig als jüngere. Der Einsatz Älterer und die Sicherung der Leistungsfähigkeit kann aber auch Ressourcen verzehren. Frank Grauer arbeitet ökonomische Auswahlkriterien heraus und liefert strukturierte Entscheidungskriterien für die strategischen Personalplanung. Er diskutiert alternative Lösungen und präsentiert den sinnvollen Einsatz von älteren Mitarbeitern im Unternehmen.978-3-8244-6654

Overview: Geschrieben von einigen der bekanntesten Wissenschaftsphilosophen Deutschlands.Speziell für die Verwendung in einsemestrigen Universitätskursen strukturiert.Für Studenten, Spezialisten und interessier.Die Quantentheorie zeichnet sich durch spektakuläre empirische Erfolge aus. Gleichzeitig ist bis heute höchst strittig, wie sie sich auf Dinge und Eigenschaften in der Welt bezieht. Dabei stellen sich viele weitere philosophische Herausforderungen: Verletzen Quantenobjekte das Prinzip der Kausalität? Sind gleichartige Teilchen ununterscheidbar und daher keine Individuen? Behalten Quante

Overview: Lactogenic hormone activity was first observed in bovine pituitary extracts by Stricker and Griiter in 1928, working in Bouin‘s laboratory in Strasbourg. Since that time prolactin has been shown to exist in anterior pituitary extracts of almost all vertebrate species investigated. Although its biology was extensively studied in many mammalian species, the existence of prolactin in the human was generally doubted, despite the positive evidence produced by such researchers as Pasteels. This can partly be explained by the fact that human growth hormone isolated in 1961, is itself a pote

Overview: The present volume is concerned with two of the central questions of chemical dynamics. What do we know about the energies of interaction of atoms and molecules with each other and with solid surfaces? How can such interaction energies be used to understand and make quantitative predictions about dynamical processes like scattering, energy transfer, and chemical reactions? It is becoming clearly recognized that the computer is leading to rapid progress in answering these questions. The computer allows probing dynamical mechanisms in fine detail and often allows us to answer questions

Overview: shows the complexity of plant signaling and behavior in an ecological context.represents a valuable reference work on the current state of research.individual chapters deal with diverse aspects of plaSince the concept of allelopathy was introduced almost 100 years ago, research has led to an understanding that plants are involved in complex communicative interactions. They use a battery of different signals that convey plant-relevant information within plant individuals as well as between plants of the same species or different species. The 13 chapters of this volume discuss all thes
