Overview: Kleine und mittelständische Versicherungsmakler stehen im Firmenkundengeschäft vor neuen Herausforderungen. Diese sind gekennzeichnet durch anhaltend sinkende Courtageeinnahmen, Konzentrationsbestrebungen der Großmakler sowie durch den Markteintritt neuer Wettbewerber. Hinzu kommen die Globalisierungsbestrebungen der Firmenkunden, die eine weltweite Präsenz der Versicherungsmakler erforderlich erscheinen lassen...Jessika Orth untersucht, ob sich kleine und mittelständische Versicherungsmakler als Anbieter qualitativ hochwertiger Dienstleistungen für Firmenkunden von ihren Mitbewerber

Overview: There are as many views on audits and auditing auditing as there are people who have ever thought about the subject and the process. Any author writing about it is faced with some common problems, such as how to make a description of a technical process anything less than dry to read. How to deal with the general belief that anyone can conduct an audit without any specific training or experience. Auditing is often viewed as a waste of time, money and resources with little, if any, real value to an organization. It is seen as something of a judgemental process. People see themselves a

Overview: Presents a skillful review of unconventional quantum criticality associated with valence transition.Offers a unified view of a new universality class of quantum criticality in periodic crystals and qu.This book comprehensively presents an unconventional quantum criticality caused by valence fluctuations, which offers theoretical understanding of unconventional Fermi-liquid properties in cerium- and ytterbium-based heavy fermion metals including CeCu.2.(Si,Ge).2. and CeRhIn.5. under pressure, and quasicrystal β-YbAlB.4. and Yb.15.Al.34.Au.51....The book begins with an introduction to

Overview: Introduces new concepts.Includes supplementary material: The book draws on current research on model risk and parameter sensitivity of securitisation ratings. It provides practical ideas and tools that can facilitate a more informed usage of securitisation ratings. We show how global sensitivity analysis techniques can be used to better analyse and to enhance the understanding of the uncertainties inherent in ratings due to uncertainty in the input parameters. The text introduces a novel global rating approach that takes the uncertainty in the ratings into account when assigning rati

Overview: Includes cutting-edge techniques.Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results.Features information that applies to a wide array of research areasThis thorough book explores some of the most important methods and concepts affecting the quantitative analysis of the transport, targeting, and disposition of chemicals within cells, which in turn impact the macroscopic pharmacokinetics of chemical agents in the whole organism. The first half of the volume focuses on small organic molecules with drug-like characteristics, while the second half delves into the cellular pha

Overview: In this laboratory "cook-book", the authors provide a concise guide to PCR-based techniques to quantify nucleic acids in biological and clinical samples using exclusively nonradioactive detection methods, e.g. HPLC, biotin and digoxigenin based protocols. Each method presentation also includes sections on theory, reagents, standards, applicability, limitations, and trouble shooting. In addition to the protocols, the authors also provide the necessary information on: general aspects of nucleic acid quantitation; design of PCR standards; mRNA purification; cDNA synthesis; solution hybr

Overview: .Reinvigorated by advances and insights, in particular from the active fields of quantum information and computing, the quantum theory of irreversible processes has recently attracted growing attention. ..This volume introduces the very basic concepts of semigroup dynamics of open quantum systems and reviews a variety of modern applications.
