Overview: Targeted towards institutional asset managers in general and chief investment officers, portfolio managers and risk managers in particular, this practical book serves as a comprehensive guide to quantitative portfolio optimization, asset allocation and risk management. Providing an accessible yet rigorous approach to investment management, it gradually introduces ever more advanced quantitative tools for these areas. Using extensive examples, this book guides the reader from basic return and risk analysis, all the way through to portfolio optimization and risk characterization, and f

Overview: Eine Studie zur Identitätskonstruktion queerer GeflüchteterBernhard Falch porträtiert zehn nach Mitteleuropa geflüchtete LGBTI*-Personen in der Heuristik alltäglicher, narrativer Identitätsarbeit. Das in der Forschungsliteratur bislang weitgehend ausgesparte Thema entfaltet er aus einer gender-, queer- und migrationstheoretisch-postkolonialen Perspektive. Dabei eröffnet sich durch die minoritäre Herangehensweise ein höchst differenzierter Blick auf die Verflochtenheit der Erzählungen vom Wandern, Werden und Wollen – den Narrativen von Flucht, Identität und Sexualität. Der Autor bring

Overview: This is an inadvertent book, though it did arise naturally enough from a course I give in theoretical ecology. But I wouldn‘t have given the course at all if one colleague in my department hadn‘t left for a leave of absence, while another abruptly resigned. This propelled me to the fore where this teaching responsibility was concerned, one I had never had any intention of discharging. Then it turned out that one of my students was regularly unable to make half the classes. As a result, I began giving him my lecture notes each week. As I knew that someone else would be reading them, I

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding contribution by the University of Vienna.A world-class contribution from the Zeilinger Institute.A well written stand-alone exposition giving access to a rapidly expanding Quantum effects in macroscopic systems have long been a fascination for researchers. Over the past decade mechanical oscillators have emerged as a leading system of choice for many such experiments. The work reported in this thesis investigates the effects of the radiation-pressure force of light on macroscopic mechanical structures. The basic system studied is a mechanical oscillator th

Overview: An all-in-one resource on providing and establishing high quality care in clinical gastroenterology.Provides an in-depth analysis of guidelines, quality metrics, and standard of care in clinical pract.This book is an all-in-one resource on providing and establishing high quality care in clinical gastroenterology. The text provides an in-depth analysis of not just guideline-based care, which is usually covered in shorter articles, but a combination of guidelines, quality metrics, and general standard of care in all areas of clinical practice and endoscopy. The book also covers high qu

Overview: Hochschuldidaktische Herausforderungen: Kontexte, Orte, Formate.Lebenslanges Lernen und Organisationsentwicklung in der Hochschullehre.Neue Beiträge aus der Lernweltforschung.Includes supplementary ma.So unterschiedlich tertiäre Bildungseinrichtungen ihre Schwerpunkte organisatorisch und fachspezifisch auch auslegen, so gleichartig sind ihre Ausgangspunkte häufig im Bereich der Hochschuldidaktik. Im vorliegenden Buch werden Möglichkeiten und Wege einer innovativen Vernetzungsarbeit zwischen unterschiedlichen hochschulischen Einrichtungen beschrieben. Ausgehend von europäischen Best-P

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The 2001 International Workshop on Quality of future Internet Services (QofIS 2001) held in Coimbra, Portugal, organized by COST Action 263, is the second of what we expect will become a series of successful QofIS workshops. The previous workshop was held in Berlin in the year 2000. The areas of interest of QofIS cover the design, implementation and provision of Quality of Service, spanning key issues of current and emerging communication systems such as packet-level issues, flow-level issues, network-level issues, architectural issues, and applicatio

Overview: First fully dedicated collection on quality and reliability of large-eddy simulations.The topic of quality in LES has been gaining interest recently: several upcoming conferences include special sessi.Computational resources have developed to the level that, for the first time, it is becoming possible to apply large-eddy simulation (LES) to turbulent flow problems of realistic complexity. Many examples can be found in technology and in a variety of natural flows. This puts issues related to assessing, assuring, and predicting the quality of LES into the spotlight. Several LES studies

Overview: Recent research in quantum inspired intelligent systems.Offers a wide spectrum of research work developed using soft computing combined with quantum computing systemsResearch on applying principles of quantum computing to improve the engineering of intelligent systems has been launched since late 1990s. This emergent research field concentrates on studying on quantum computing that is characterized by certain principles of quantum mechanics such as standing waves, interference, quantum bits, coherence, superposition of states, and concept of interference, combined with computational

Overview: "Quantum Physics of the Solid State: an Introduction" Draft foreword: 26/09/03 If only this book had been available when I was starting out in science! It would have saved me countless hours of struggle in trying to apply the general ideas of the standard solid-state text-books to solve real problems. The fact is that most of the texts stop at the point where the real difficulties begin. The great merit of this book is that it describes in an honest and detailed way what one really has to do in order to understand the multifarious properties of solids in terms of the fundamental phys
