Overview: Rewriting has always played an important role in symbolic manipulation and automated deduction systems. The theory of rewriting is an outgrowth of Combinatory Logic and the Lambda Calculus. Applications cover broad areas in automated reasoning, programming language design, semantics, and implementations, and symbolic and algebraic manipulation. The proceedings of the third International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications contain 34 regular papers, covering many diverse aspects of rewriting (including equational logic, decidability questions, term rewriting, congruenc

Overview: Historisches Überblickswissen.Multidisziplinärer Ansatz.Ein neuer Blick auf die Raumplanung.Includes supplementary material: Raum- und Landesplaner haben auf räumliche Entwicklungen bis in die 1970er Jahre hinein einen größeren Einfluss ausüben können. Um Raumordnung, Bevölkerung (vor 1945: um „Volk“ und „Rasse“) und Aspekte sozialer Ordnung kreiste ihr ganzes Denken und Planen. Ihre raumplanerischen Vorstellungen konnten nicht nur völkische Ideologien beinhalten, die schon für sich problematisch waren, sondern sie transportierten das je zeitgenössische Verständnis gesellschaftlicher

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen.

Overview: Over the past two decades, many advances have been made in the decision support system (DSS) field. They range from progress in fundamental concepts, to improved techniques and methods, to widespread use of commercial software for DSS development. Still, the depth and breadth of the DSS field continues to grow, fueled by the need to better support decision making in a world that is increasingly complex in terms of volume, diversity, and interconnectedness of the knowledge on which decisions can be based. This continuing growth is facilitated by increasing computer power and decreasin

Overview: Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Gregor Imelauer untersucht, wie vor dem Hintergrund von Globalisierung, Digitalisierung und Hyperspezialisierung eine wettbewerbsfähige HR-Organisation aussehen kann.

Overview: Focuses specifically on mathematical modelling of the most significant factors for in-service power prediction: bare hull resistance, dynamic trim, and propeller‘s open-water efficiency.Fills the gap .This SpringerBrief focuses on modeling and power evaluation of high-speed craft. The various power prediction methods, a principal design objective for high-speed craft of displacement, semi-displacement, and planing type, are addressed. At the core of the power prediction methods are mathematical models for resistance and propulsion efficiency. The models are based on the experimental

Overview: One might legitimately ask what reasons other than vanity could prompt an author to issue a collection of his previously published essays. The best reason, I think, is the belief that the essays hang together in such a way that, as a book, they produce a whole which is in a sense greater than the sum of its parts. When this happens, as I hope it does in the present case, it is because the essays pursue related themes in such a way that, together, they at least form a start toward the development of a systematic theory on the common foundations supporting the particular claims in the

Overview: Preis-Promotions sind für Hersteller von Konsumgütern ein wichtiges Marketing-Instrument. Dabei kommen neben Sonderangeboten auch häufig Multi-Item-Promotions zum Einsatz, z. B. in der Form „Kaufen Sie 3 zum Preis von 2“. Bei Sonderangeboten ist bekannt, dass sie kurzfristig den Absatz stark erhöhen, langfristig jedoch die Markentreue untergraben. Letzteres ist unter anderem auf Referenzeffekte zurückzuführen. Unklar war bislang aber, ob diese auch bei Multi-Item-Promotions auftreten. Die Profitabilität von Multi-Item-Promotions ist aber nur sinnvoll zu beurteilen, wenn auch deren la

Overview: Normative Social Theory James M. Dean and A. M. C. Waterman University of Manitoba 1. Economics and Religion Once Again This hook is a sequel to Economics and Religion: Are They Distinct? (Brennan and Waterman 1994). That volume was motivated by a frustration born of many disappointing encounters between economists and theologians in the 1980s. Can bishops, synods, and other voices of organized religion bring any interesting (and disinterested) contribution to the public policy debate? If so, what is the relation of their contribution to that of the purely "secular" knowledge economi
