Overview: A case-study approach and comparative analysisRethinking the purpose and the aim of higher education has led to new and alternative ways to assure the quality of different higher education systems. In the case studies of six OECD countries, Andrea Bernhard exemplifies the ongoing trends and changes of quality assurance systems along peer-reviewed country reports and interviews with national and international experts. The comparative analysis is based on international, descriptive, discursive, and analytical aspects concentrating on the theoretical concepts of massification, diversifi

Overview: Presents a fresh and modern approach.Starts right away with modern concepts to show numerical methods and experimental measurements.Leads students from other areas than physics such as theoretical cheWhoever begins writing a book on quantum mechanics is struck by the breadth of the subject. In its applications first: atomic and molecular p- sics, nuclear physics, optics, solid state physics, theory of gases and liquids, elementary particles theory, almost all fields of contemporary physics are based on quantum mechanics. In its formulation, also, which borrows from many subfields of

Overview: Provides readers with a better appreciation of the gap between FPGAs and ASICs and a deeper understanding of FPGA architecture.Corrects common misconceptions about the magnitude of the gap between FPGField-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which are pre-fabricated, programmable digital integrated circuits (ICs), provide easy access to state-of-the-art integrated circuit process technology, and in doing so, democratize this technology of our time. This book is about comparing the qualities of FPGA – their speed performance, area and power consumption, against custom-fabricated ICs, an

Overview: Über die Analyse qualitativer DatenQualitative Datenanalyse: Computerunterstützt -Methodischer Hintergrund und Beispiele aus der Forschungspraxis - Vorwort Die computergestützte Analyse qualitativer Daten, im Englischen häufig als CAQ­ DAS ("Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis‘‘) bezeichnet, stellt ein relativ neues innovatives Verfahren zur Auswertung von offenen Interviews, Beobach­ tungsprotokollen, Feldnotizen, Fokusgruppen und vielem anderen mehr dar. Viele Forscher und Praktiker in unterschiedlichen Disziplinen setzen zur Analyse ihrer Daten QDA-Software ein, d. h. Soft

Overview: Queer Commoditiesis the first book-length analysis of same-sexuality and consumer capitalism in contemporary US fiction. Moving beyond the critical tendencies to identify gay and lesbian subcultures as either hopelessly immersed in consumer capitalism or heroically resistant to it, Guy Davidson argues that while these subcultures are necessarily commodified, they also provide means of subversively negotiating aspects of life under capitalism.978-1-349-34312-6978-1-137-01124-4Series ISSN 2634-579X Series E-ISSN 2634-5803

Overview: The object of this NATO Advanced Study Institute was to pre­ sent a tutorial ‘introduction both to the basic physics of recent spectacular advances achieved in the field of metrology and to the determination of fundamental physical constants. When humans began to qualify their description of natural phenomena, metrology, the science of measurement, developed along­ side geometry and mathematics. However, flam antiquity to modern times, the role of metrology was mostly restricted to the need of commercial, social or scientific transactions of local or at most national scope. Beginning

Overview: Bereits Anfang des vorherigen Jahrzehnts forderte die Weltgesundheitsorganisation alle Mitgliedstaaten auf, bis zum Beginn der neunziger Jahre effektive Verfahren zur Qualitätssicherung von Gesundheitsleistungen einzufiihren, eine Forderung, die bis heute auch in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland noch nicht erfüllt worden ist. Voraussetzungen, Möglichkeiten und Grenzen effektiver Verfahren zur Sicherung der Qualität von Gesund­ heitsleistungen werden zwar intensiv und kontrovers diskutiert, doch ist es bislang nicht gelungen, allseits befriedigende und zugleich akzeptierte Verfahrenswei

Overview: Grundwissen Unternehmenskommunikation.Herausforderungen + Lösungsansätze für die Unternehmenskommunikation.Acht Fragen für den Kommunikationserfolg im eigenen Unternehmen.Includes supplementary materiDie Unternehmensführung ist heute mehr denn je auf professionelle Unternehmenskommunikation angewiesen. Erfolgreiche Unternehmenslenker und Führungskräfte haben längst verstanden, dass sie ihre Ziele ohne eine professionelle Vermittlung an die entsprechenden Stakeholdergruppen gar nicht – oder nur mit sehr hohem Aufwand – erreichen können. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird im vorliegenden Band

Overview: .Incomplete data is part of life and almost all areas of scientific studies. Users tend to skip certain fields when they fill out online forms; participants choose to ignore sensitive questions on surveys; sensors fail, resulting in the loss of certain readings; publicly viewable satellite map services have missing data in many mobile applications; and in privacy-preserving applications, the data is incomplete deliberately in order to preserve the sensitivity of some attribute values...Query processing is a fundamental problem in computer science, and is useful in a variety of applic
