Overview: P?rovides geodesists and geophysicists with a background to go from classical mechanics and electromagnetism to the quantum measurement of gravity.Presents a scientific background for future researcheDuring the last thirty years a great advancement in low energy physics, particularly interactions of atoms with the electromagnetic field, has been achieved and the development of electronics and laser techniques has allowed to implement a fine manipulation of atoms with photons. A wealth of important applications has sprung out from the ability of manipulating large samples of cold atom

Overview: Der Erfolg eines Unternehmens basiert auf der Qualität seiner Produkte und Dienstleistungen. Qualitätssicherung ist daher, besonders nach der Öffnung der Binnenmärkte, auch für die Lebensmittelindustrie zum herausragenden Thema geworden. Präventive Maßnahmen wie Fehlerverhütung und Problemvorbeugung haben sich dabei als wesentlich effektiver erwiesen als ein reines Kontrollsystem mit Endprüfung, Nacharbeit und hohen Fehlerkosten. Ein erfolgreiches Qualitätssicherungskonzept umfaßt sämtliche Unternehmsbereiche - Entwicklung, Produktion, Beschaffung und Marketing - und wird vom Managem

Overview: This book is aimed at theoretical and mathematical physicists and mathematicians interested in modern gravitational physics. I have thus tried to use language familiar to readers working on classical and quantum gravity, paying attention both to difficult calculations and to existence theorems, and discussing in detail the current literature. The first aim of the book is to describe recent work on the problern of boundary conditions in one-loop quantum cosmology. The motivation of this research was to under­ stand whether supersymmetric theories are one-loop finite in the presence of

Overview: Dedicated verification techniques for the different abstraction levels of System C.Verification quality is measured throughout the refinement of the design.Integrated design and verification flow.A quality-driven design and verification flow for digital systems is developed and presented in Quality-Driven SystemC Design. Two major enhancements characterize the new flow: First, dedicated verification techniques are integrated which target the different levels of abstraction. Second, each verification technique is complemented by an approach to measure the achieved verification quality

Overview: Discusses how lessons learned from computational science can address the current problems of environmental impact assessment.Describes how a systematic, logical approach to environmental assessment ca.Environmental impact assessments are required for a wide-range of projects throughout the world. These assessments have increasing involved complex, political decision-making and incorporated values and beliefs of both stakeholders and interested parties. However, the results are often ineffective because values and beliefs are not easily quantifiable, and decisions are considered subje

Overview: First book on the topic reviewing a whole series of QA issues in clinical/medical genetics.There is a need for laboratory managers and administrators to know the basic QA in clinical genetic services..Initially genetic disorders were all considered as rare diseases. At present, in the mid of 2009, the OMIM catalogue contains information on more than 12 000 entries of which about 2500 are available for clinical testing based on the identification of the responsible gene defect. However, altogether it has been estimated that about 8 percent of a population in the economically developed

Overview: Application of recent advances, such as non-equilibriumthermodynamics, the maintenance concept and the material balancingmethod, to the description, of microbial growth has suggested newexperimental approaches which have yielded a wealth of data. Thesedata have been used to develop mathematical models of microbial growthand metabolism, and the models have made it possible to direct themetabolism of a microorganism in such a way that more of a certaindesired product is made. .While a full quantitative description of all aspects of microbialgrowth and metabolism is till remote, the new

Overview: A comprehensive coverage of the basic capability of VHDL.Emphasizes examples from which students can learn: contains a solved example for nearly every section in the book.Includes more than 400 exerci.This textbook provides a starter’s guide to VHDL. This book can be used in conjunction with a one-semester course in Digital Systems Design or on its own for designers who only need an introduction to the language. This book is designed to provide a bottoms-up approach to learning the VHDL language. This design supports a course in which foundational knowledge is covered before moving i

Overview: Ansätze zur Qualitätsgestaltung in der indizierten PräventionDieses .essential. behandelt Potenziale und Handlungsbedarfe der Qualitätsförderung in der Deradikalisierungsarbeit. Durch die Benennung einzelner Qualitätsdimensionen und -kriterien wird ein praxisorientierter Beitrag zu den kontrovers diskutierten Themen Qualität, Wirkung und Effektivität von Maßnahmen geleistet. Als Vergleichsgrundlage fungieren dabei die Qualitätsdebatte in der Sozialen Arbeit, englischsprachige Forschungen zur Effektivität und Leistungsfähigkeit von Non-Profit-Organisationen, die Qualitätssicherung in

Overview: From the Foreword..... .Modern digital signal processing applications provide a largechallenge to the system designer. Algorithms are becoming increasinglycomplex, and yet they must be realized with tight performanceconstraints. Nevertheless, these DSP algorithms are often built frommany constituent canonical subtasks (e.g., IIR and FIR filters, FFTs)that can be reused in other subtasks. Design is then a problem ofcomposing these core entities into a cohesive whole to provide boththe intended functionality and the required performance. .In order to organize the design process, there

The contributors take seriously the goals of both post-modernist and positivist researchers, as they offer detailed guidance on how to apply specific tools of analysis and how to circumvent their inherent limitations.978-0-230-24175-6978-0-230-58412-9Series ISSN 2947-5201 Series E-ISSN 2947-521X

Overview: The book serves as an introduction and survey of the field of algorithmic quantifier eliminationGeorge Collins’ discovery of Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition (CAD) as a method for Quantifier Elimination (QE) for the elementary theory of real closed fields brought a major breakthrough in automating mathematics with recent important applications in high-tech areas (e.g. robot motion), also stimulating fundamental research in computer algebra over the past three decades.This volume is a state-of-the-art collection of important papers on CAD and QE and on the related area of algorithm

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Quantum trajectory theory is largely employed in theoretical quantum optics and quantum open system theory and is closely related to the conceptual formalism of quantum mechanics (quantum measurement theory). However, even research articles show that not all the features of the theory are well known or completely exploited. We wrote this monograph mainly for researchers in theoretical quantum optics and related ?elds with the aim of giving a self-contained and solid p- sentation of a part of quantum trajectory theory (the diffusive case) together with

Overview: Qualitätsorientierung und Shareholder-Value-Steuerung werden für Banken separat intensiv diskutiert. Die Frage, inwiefern eine Integration dieser scheinbar konkurrierenden Ansätze möglich ist und wie diese Integration gestaltet werden kann, wurde in der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion bislang jedoch vernachlässigt...Mandy Krafczyk leitet aus der Zusammenführung von Qualitätsorientierung und Shareholder-Value-orientierter Banksteuerung das wertorientierte Qualitätscontrolling ab. In diesem Rahmen entwickelt sie den Quality Added Value, ein Instrument zur wertorientierten Qualitätssteuer
