Overview: Stereologic techniques begin to play an increasing role in biologic morphology, particularly there where correlation of structure and function on a quantitative basis is sought. These powerful methods have been in use for many years - partly even for many decades - in geology, mineralogy and metallurgy, while attempts to introduce them into histology have remained rather rare until a few years ago. In order to stimulate discussion among anatomists about stereo logic methods the International Society for Stereology, an interdisciplinary society, organized a Sym­ posium on Quantitative

Overview: .Quality, Warranty and Preventive Maintenance. examines theimpact of product quality on warranty and maintenance costs andstrategies, from the perspectives of both manufacturers and users. Inaddition, the theories of warranty and preventive maintenance areintroduced and discussed. Common wisdom supports the notion thatbetter product quality means lower warranty costs for themanufacturer, and lower maintenance costs for the users of amanufactured product. This proposition is examined in some detail onthe basis of failure time models. The authors investigate what exactlybetter quality

Overview: .Eine Weiterentwicklung der stationären Langzeitpflege in Richtung einer Quartiersöffnung wird momentan vielfach diskutiert und es entstehen verschiedene neue Quartiersprojekte, die das Ziel haben, die stationäre Altenhilfe nach außen in den Sozialraum zu öffnen. Um Barrieren und Chancen eines solchen Öffnungsprozesses zu untersuchen, wurde das GALINDA Projekt (Gutes Altern in Rheinland-Pfalz) - Kulturwandel und Quartiersöffnung in der stationären Langzeitpflege an der Pflegewissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Philosophisch Theologischen Hochschule Vallendar umgesetzt. .In diesem Buch wi

Overview: This book is devoted to the phenomenon of quasi-periodic motion in dynamical systems. Such a motion in the phase space densely fills up an invariant torus. This phenomenon is most familiar from Hamiltonian dynamics. Hamiltonian systems are well known for their use in modelling the dynamics related to frictionless mechanics, including the planetary and lunar motions. In this context the general picture appears to be as follows. On the one hand, Hamiltonian systems occur that are in complete order: these are the integrable systems where all motion is confined to invariant tori. On the

Overview: This open access book addresses key issues and major challenges at different stages of conducting qualitative migration research.Offers an interdisciplinary approach to European migration studies.Disc.This open access book covers the main issues, challenges and techniques concerning the application of qualitative methodologies to the study of migration. It discusses theoretical, epistemological and empirical questions that must be considered before, during, and after undertaking qualitative research in migration studies. It also covers recent innovative developments and addresses the

Overview: Helps in a compact form to reach good understanding of quantum physics.Shows important analogies between problems across different disciplines.Concise and accurate, written in a readable and lively st.This concise tutorial provides the bachelor student and the practitioner with a short text on quantum physics that allows them to understand a wealth of quantum phenomena based on a compact, well readable, yet still concise and accurate description of nonrelativistic quantum theory. This “quadrature of the circle” is achieved by concentrating first on the simplest quantum system that st

Overview: Builds a solid introduction to the concepts and techniques of quantum mechanics in settings where the phenomena treated are sufficiently simple: systems that can either be solved exactly or be handledQuantum mechanics was already an old and solidly established subject when the first edition of this book appeared in 1966. The context in which a graduate text on quantum mechanics is studied today has changed a good deal, however. In 1966, most entering physics graduate students had a quite limited exposure to quan­ tum mechanics in the form of wave mechanics. Today the standard undergr

Overview: Unvollständige Daten sind ein häufiges Problem in der Qualitätssicherung. Oft handelt es sich dabei um zensierte Daten. Im Gegensatz zu Medizin und Soziologie, wo entsprechende Verfahren schon seit längerem angewendet werden (Survival Analysis), sind in der Qualitätssicherung adäquate Methoden zur Lösung von Entscheidungsproblemen bei zensierten Daten bisher kaum verbreitet. Dieses Buch bietet eine umfassende Übersicht über statistische Modelle und Methoden, die zur Überprüfung von Hypothesen über im Produktionsprozeß auftretende Parameter geeignet sind. Mit Hilfe der lokalen Asympto
