Overview: Retail Branding, also der Einsatz der Markenpolitik auf der Ebene der Verkaufsstellen von Einzelhandelsunternehmen, gewinnt in Handelspraxis und -forschung zunehmend an Bedeutung. Die meisten Untersuchungen, die sich mit dem Thema "Marke" beschäftigen, sind jedoch vor allem auf Produktmarken ausgerichtet...Dirk Morschett entwickelt im Sinne eines konfirmatorisch-explikativen Ansatzes ein umfassendes Wirkungsmodell, das Einflussfaktoren auf den Markenwert eines Handelsunternehmens sowie den Einfluss der Marke auf das Kaufverhalten der Konsumenten analysiert. Mit Hilfe zweier empirisch

Overview: Includes supplementary material: RuleML 2003 was the second international workshop on rules and rule markup languages for the Semantic Web, held in conjunction with the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC). The aim of the RuleML workshop series is to stimulate research on all issues related to web rule languages and to provide an annual forum for presenting and discussing new research results. The Semantic Web is a major world-wide endeavor to advance the Web by enriching its multimedia document content with propositional information that can be processed by inference-enabled

Overview: .This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of two workshops held at the 19th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2016, in Athens, Greece, in October 2016: the First International Workshop on Reconstruction and Analysis of Moving Body Organs, RAMBO 2016, and the First International Workshop on Whole-Heart and Great Vessel Segmentation from 3D Cardiovascular MRI in Congenital Heart Disease, HVSMR 2016. ..The 17 revised regular papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 21 submissions

Overview: This book contains the lectures presented at the International Workshop on Relation between Laboratory and Space Plasmas held at Gakushi-Kaikan (University Alumni Association) Kanda in Tokyo, Japan on 14 - 15 April, 1980. Its aim was to bring together laboratory, fusion and space plasma physicists and to highlight the communality of basic plasma phenomena, similarities and differences observed in the laboratory and in space, thus exchanging information tnd views on new ideas to link both areas. Although similar type of conferences were held in Europe and recently in the States, this

Overview: Das erfolgreiche Management von Reorganisationen ist für Unternehmen eine wichtige Voraussetzung, um sich dauerhaft Wettbewerbsvorteile zu sichern. Reorganisationsprozesse scheitern allerdings häufig, sodass die in Hinsicht auf Qualität sowie Zeit- und Kosteneinsparung gesetzten Ziele nicht erreicht werden...Frank Schirmer geht der Frage nach, wie die Wege zum Erreichen des Ziels analysiert und erfolgsfördernd gestaltet werden können. Im Mittelpunkt seiner theoretischen und empirischen Untersuchung steht die Mikropolitik von Reorganisationsprozessen. Der Autor kommt zu dem Ergebnis,

Overview: Gathers research from the tropics and southern hemisphere addressing environmental comfort challenges in these contexts.Addresses energy and climate change in developing countries and vulnerable secto.This book describes how comfort, energy and climate change in developing countries and vulnerable sectors of the population relate to buildings..The building sector is currently facing significant challenges connected to energy consumption, energy poverty and climate change effects. When studied in developing countries and vulnerable sectors of the population, these factors, which are c

Overview: Contributing authors are Europe’s top experts and among the world’s leaders in their field.The subject is of prime importance and at the top of international interest in seismic engineering.The State-.Nowadays research in earthquake engineering is mainly experimental and in large-scale; advanced computations are integrated with large-scale experiments, to complement them and extend their scope, even by coupling two different but simultaneous tests. Earthquake engineering cannot give answers by testing and qualifying few, small typical components or single large prototypes. Besides, t

Overview: The present book is the result of work carried out over a period of about ten years by the author and his co-workers in order to describe more accurately the slow irreversible deformation in time of the rocks surrounding underground openings. To begin with, our efforts were directed toward a better under­ standing of the mechanical behaviour of rocks and to the formulation of more precise mathematical models for their dominant mechanical properties, mainly irreversible dilatancy and/or compressibility during creep. Subsequent efforts were focused on finding improved solutions to impo
