Overview: This book is all about improving the health care of elderly people, which is facing unprecedented challenges in the 1990s. Energies need to be concentrated in three main areas: • the development of high quality care in community settings • the future role of specialized hospital services • the way that long-term care is delivered. All of these are interconnected and success with any of them depends on successful relationships. For example, success in community care requires working interfaces with primary care, the private sector and hospital care. These interfaces are not static but

Overview: State-of-the-art in quantum neural computation.The first to combine quantum computation with neural computation.A blueprint for the future quantum brain.Includes supplementary material: .Quantum Neural Computation is a graduate–level monographic textbook. It presents a comprehensive introduction, both non-technical and technical, into modern quantum neural computation, the science behind the fiction movie Stealth. Classical computing systems perform classical computations (i.e., Boolean operations, such as AND, OR, NOT gates) using devices that can be described classically (e.g., MOS

Overview: Praktische Projektbeispiele und konkrete Handlungsmöglichkeiten.Wie man Vorteile agiler Vorgehensweisen nutzbar macht.Lesbar und wertvoll wegen der Projekterfahrung der Autoren.Includes supplementary Christian Brandes und Michael Heller diskutieren Missverständnisse zur Koexistenz von Agilität und Qualitätsmanagement in IT-Projekten. Diese sind nach ihrer Ansicht oft Ursache von Irritationen oder gar Frustrationen bei QM-Verantwortlichen, die Transitionen von „klassischen“ zu agilen Vorgehensweisen vollziehen müssen. Die Autoren lösen diese Missverständnisse auf und präsentieren Erfo

Overview: Die Qualität von Informationssystemen muß plan-, steuer- und kontrollierbarer Bestandteil des Gestaltungsprozesses sein. Dies ist die Aufgabe des Qualitätsmanagements. Seine Aufgaben umfassen nicht nur die operativen Tätigkeiten einer technischorientierten Qualitätssicherung, sondern darüber hinaus insbesondere auch strategische Aspekte.Michael Bächle stellt einen Ansatz vor, der den Gedanken des Total Quality Managements im Rahmen des Qualitätsmanagements von Softwaresystemen in das Software Engineering integriert. Der Autor entwickelt ein entsprechendes Konzept im Rahmen von DIN IS

Overview: .This volume is the first of two volumes containing the revised and completed notes lectures given at the school "Quantum Independent Increment Processes: Structure and Applications to Physics". This school was held at the Alfried-Krupp-Wissenschaftskolleg in Greifswald during the period March 9 – 22, 2003, and supported by the Volkswagen Foundation. The school gave an introduction to current research on quantum independent increment processes aimed at graduate students and non-specialists working in classical and quantum probability, operator algebras, and mathematical physics....Th

Overview: Establishes a context of events and movements through which to understand the political implications of the antisocial thesis in queer theory.Provides a critical account of the rise of queer theory inThis book is an attempt to save “the sexual” from the oblivion to which certain strands in queer theory tend to condemn it, and at the same time to limit the risks of anti-politics and solipsism contained in what has been termed antisocial queer theory. It takes a journey from Sigmund Freud to Mario Mieli and Guy Hocquenghem, from Michel Foucault and Judith Butler to Teresa de Lauretis,

Overview: Provides a fundamental view of the evolution of quantum computing and how various quantum mechanics are used in different security and Internet applications.Highlights the need for a paradigm shift inThis book explains the evolution of techniques and strategies in quantum computing, discussing the digital transition towards the quantum computing application in various sectors. The book provides a comprehensive insight into the quantum mechanics and quantum computing techniques and tools and how they have evolved and the impacted in supporting and flourishing business during the quant

Overview: The soul rejoices in perceiving harmonious sound; when the sound is not harmonious it is grieved. From these affects of the soul are derived the name of consonances for the harmonic proportions, and the name of dissonances for the unharmonic proportions. When to this is added the other harmonie proportion whieh consists of the longer or shorter duration of musical sound, then the soul stirs the body to jumping dance, the tongue to inspired speech, according to the same laws. The artisans accommodate to these harmonies the blows of their hammers, the soldiers their pace. As long as th

Overview: .Institutions typically treat research integrity violations as black and white, right or wrong. The result is that the wide range of grayscale nuances that separate accident, carelessness, and bad practice from deliberate fraud and malpractice often get lost. This lecture looks at how to quantify the grayscale range in three kinds of research integrity violations: plagiarism, data falsification, and image manipulation..Quantification works best with plagiarism, because the essential one-to-one matching algorithms are well known and established tools for detecting when matches exist.

Overview: Whereas then‘ has been significant progress in various branches of elementary particle physics during the last decade or so, Quantum Electrodynamics seems to be in a somewhat stagnating phase. For people not involved in sophisticated questions of relativistic field theories the situation might appear as not very di(:ltinct from the time, when Schwinger, Feynman and Dyson publishl‘ld their famous articles in the early 1950‘s. Only some arguments against the possibility of a finite Quantum Electrodynamics (1953) has caused a significant reaction and initiated a rather vehement discussi

Overview: Offers first complete introduction on how to conduct QCA in the R software environment for statistical computing and graphics.Using the QCA package, illustrates how to perform csQCA, mvQCA and fsQCA, .Social science theory often builds on sets and their relations. Correlation-based methods of scientific enquiry, however, use linear algebra and are unsuited to analyzing set relations. The development of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) by Charles Ragin has given social scientists a formal tool for identifying set-theoretic connections based on Boolean algebra. As a result, inter

Overview: Presents the results that are derived and demonstrated by guiding the reader through a series of steps.Introduces quantum mechanics to students who may not be studying physics.Is informal and unorthod.This book is based on the course "Elements of Theoretical Physics," which the author has been teaching at the University of Rome Tor Vergata since 2017. It serves as an introduction to quantum mechanics, providing students with essential concepts and tools for future lessons, while still maintaining a comprehensive approach without relying heavily on the level of abstraction and mathema

Overview: Complete coverage theoretical and experimental quantum optics.Over 40 exercises.Includes supplementary material: .Quantum Optics gives a comprehensive coverage of developments in quantum optics over the past years. In the early chapters the formalism of quantum optics is elucidated and the main techniques are introduced. These are applied in the later chapters to problems such as squeezed states of light, resonance fluorescence, laser theory, quantum theory of four-wave mixing, quantum non-demolition measurements, Bell‘s inequalities, and atom optics. Experimental results are used to

Overview: Models are used in all kinds of engineering disciplines to abstract from the various details of the modelled entity in order to focus on a speci?c aspect. Like a blueprint in civil engineering, a software architecture providesan abstraction from the full software system’s complexity.

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie​Prinzipiell handlungsleitende methodische Regeln der empirischen Sozialforschung werden in der Forschungspraxis ganz unterschiedlich umgesetzt. Dies hängt nicht nur vom Forschungsgegenstand ab, sondern auch von den Forschenden und deren Forschungsbedingungen – wie Jessica Pflüger mittels eines internationalen Vergleichs verschiedener Teams (der arbeitssoziologischen Fallstudienforschung) zeigt. Damit beleuchtet sie eine bislang wenig untersuchte Thematik an der Schnittstelle von Wissenschaftssoziologie und Methodologie: wissenschaftliche Teamarbeit. Die
