Overview: Provides a self-contained and constructive approach to noncommutative differential geometry, which connects to the earlier approach to noncommutative geometry of Alain Connes in a complementary way.Co.This book provides a comprehensive account of a modern generalisation of differential geometry in which coordinates need not commute. This requires a reinvention of differential geometry that refers only to the coordinate algebra, now possibly noncommutative, rather than to actual points..Such a theory is needed for the geometry of Hopf algebras or quantum groups, which provide key exam

Overview: Über die Analyse qualitativer DatenDie Unterstützung durch den Computer während des qualitativen Forschungsprozesses ist nicht mehr weg zu denken. Die Beiträge des Buches beleuchten den dortigen Einsatz von Software aus der Sicht von Forschungsmethodik und Forschungspraxis. Angeführt werden exemplarische Beispiele für den Einsatz der qualitativen Analysesoftware MAXQDA in verschiedenen Phasen des Forschungsablaufs.

Overview: Tropical and subtropical countries have become well aware of the fact, that they must make better use of their fruits. In spite of the favourable climatic conditions for the production of varieties of delicious fruits in such countries, continuously high tempemtures shorten the shelf-life of most fruits and fruit products. A tropical climate provides ideal conditions for mpid growth of spoilage microorganisms and for chemical reactions. Most of such reactions in fruits and fruit products are deteriomtive in nature causing high respiration rates, texture softening and spoilage of frui

Overview: In this paper a nearly perfected concept of basic training in the field of "Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)" has been explained. With the help of detailed studies conducted in part by the Department of Technology and Education. Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Dortmund the necessity of basic training at all levels for employees in Computer Integrated Manufacturing was verified. Then the new requirements for employees were indicated with respect to the "ability to act". Moreover, the didactic demands of the concept for basic subject-specific t

Overview: This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Modelling Techniques and Tools for Computer Performance Evaluation (Performance Tools ‘95) and of the 8th GI/ITG Conference on Measuring, Modelling and Evaluating Computing and Communication Systems, MMB ‘95, held jointly in Heidelberg, Germany in September 1995..The volume presents 26 full refereed papers selected from a total of 86 submissions, together with two invited contributions. The scope of the papers includes measurement- and model-based approaches for quantitative systems assessment, reports on th

Overview: The articles collected in this volume were written for a Colloquium on Fifty Years of Quantum Mechanics which was held at the University Louis Pasteur of Strasbourg on May 2-4, 1974, in commemoration of the original work by De Broglie in 1924. It is our hope that this volume will convey to the reader the idea that quantum mechanics, besides being a fundamental tool for scien­ tific workers today, is also a source of a number of questions and thoughts about the interpretation of the foundation of quantum mechanics itself. This gives rise to problems of a philosophical and logical char

Overview: Excellent didactic introduction to the essential principles.Treats recent concepts such as entanglement and decoherence.Gives background needed to understand quantum cryptography, teleportation and co.Starting from basic principles, the book systematically covers both Heisenberg and Schrödinger realizations of quantum mechanics (in this order). The material traditionally presented in quantum textbooks is illustrated with applications which are (or will become) cornerstones of future technologies. The emphasis in the matrix formulation focus the attention on the spin, the most importa

Overview: Our aim in writing this book has been to present for R&D Managers at all levels the type of quantitative methods that have been developed in recent years for the more efficient management of R&D. Hence, we have sought to write for anyone connected with the control of R&D - from the Directors responsible for the R&D effort of a large organization to the scientist in charge of one or two individual projects. Many of the techniques which we describe have appeared in recent years in the technical journals, often in a largely theoretical form. Few, however, have been made generally availa

Overview: Includes chapters written by leading experts and promising young researchers.Addresses a diverse set of psychometric topics, including item response theory, multistage adaptive testing and cognitive d.This proceedings volume highlights the latest research anddevelopments in psychometrics and statistics. It represents selected and peer reviewed presentations given at the 84th Annual International Meeting of the Psychometric Society (IMPS),organized by PontificiaUniversidad Católica de Chile and held in Santiago, Chile during July 15th to19th, 2019..The IMPS is one of the largest inter

Overview: Describes the higher education system in China and its quality assurance schemes.Explores the impact of higher education quality assessment on the evaluated universities.Proposes a model to describe hThis book illustrates the higher education quality assurance system and its impact on institutional transformation in China. It starts by describing the higher education system in China and its quality assessment schemes. It discusses in detail the Quality Assessment of Undergraduate Education (QAUE) and the Subject Evaluation, two of the most influential external quality assessment sche

Overview: Interest in bone densitometry methods has recently experienced a resurgence within the medical community. Physicians have become more interested than ever before in the diagnosis and treatment of degenerative diseases of bone such as osteoporosis. The public perception of osteoporosis and its prevention has been recently heightened. Because osteoporosis is widespread, especially in women, and leads to an increase in fractures in our population, many re­ searchers and clinicians are strongly motivated in their search for more sensi­ tive and accurate methods of diagnosis. This book wa

Overview: Provides a resource for university-based school leader preparation.Reveals perceptions, thoughts, and values of practicing principals, and examines epistemological and theoretical perspectives that shThis book provides insights into the everyday practices of school leaders as told through the real-life stories of principals.  The editors and their contributors blend practice with theory, helping aspiring leaders to discover that school leadership is not simply putting prescribed solutions into action, but a constant encounter with quandaries that demand thinking, responding, and adju

Overview: If you have two small objects, one here on Earth and the other on the planet Pluto, what would you say of the following statement: No modification of the properties of the object on the earth can take place as a consequence of an interaction of the distant object with a third body also located on Pluto? The opinion that the previous statement is correct is very natural, but modern quantum theory implies that it must be wrong in certain cases. Consider in fact two arbitrary objects separated by such a large distance that they are unable to exert any important mutual influence. It is p
