Overview: Planung im Spiegel des sozialen und ökonomischen WandelsStrategieorientierte Planung erlebt seit den 1990er Jahren eine Wiedergeburt. Die Entwicklung und Umsetzung umfassender strategischer Planungsdokumente und Leitbilder ist vor dem Hintergrund des gegenwärtigen sozialen und ökonomischen Wandels sowie im Zusammenhang mit dem Wandel von Staatlichkeit zu sehen, welcher sich im Konzept des "kooperativen Staates" ausdrückt. Das Buch widmet sich zwei zentralen Fragestellungen: einerseits wird nach der Einbettung der verschiedenen Ansätze strategieorientierter Planung in den planungstheo

Overview: This book concerns two major topics, smart antenna systems and wireless local-area-networks (LANs). For smart antenna systems, it d- cusses the mechanics behind a smart antenna system, the setup of a smart antenna experimental testbed, and experimental and computer simulation results of various issues relating to smart antenna systems. For wireless LAN systems, it discusses the IEEE 802.11 worldwide wi- less LAN standard, the operation of a wireless LAN system, and some of the technical considerations that must be overcome by a wireless LAN system designer. These two topics are combi

Overview: Bilanz zu 50 Jahren Forschung zu Werbung und GeschlechterstereotypenFrauen sind jung, schön und schlank. Männer sind harte Jungs, die Tölpel in der Küche oder sehen einfach nur gut aus. Die Klage darüber, dass die Werbung Frauen und Männer auf solche Stereotypen reduziert, ist ebenso alt wie die Befürchtungen, dass diese Stereotypen gesellschaftliche Auswirkungen haben. Gelten sie heute noch?.Dieses Buch zieht Bilanz nach rund 50 Jahren Forschung zu Werbung und Geschlechterstereo-typen und legt neue Ergebnisse aus der Analyse von Werbung vor sowie darüber, wie Rezipientinnen und Rezi

Overview: .This book has a two-fold purpose:..(1) An introduction to the computer-based modeling of influenza, a continuing major worldwide communicable disease...(2) The use of (1) as an illustration of a methodology for the computer-based modeling of communicable diseases...For the purposes of (1) and (2), a basic influenza model is formulated as a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) that define the spatiotemporal evolution of four populations: susceptibles, untreated and treated infecteds, and recovereds. The requirements of a well-posed PDE model are considered, including the i

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Queueing networks constitute a large family of stochastic models, involving jobs that enter a network, compete for service, and eventually leave the network upon completion of service. Since the early 1990s, substantial attention has been devoted to the question of when such networks are stable. ..This volume presents a summary of such work. Emphasis is placed on the use of fluid models in showing stability, and on examples of queueing networks that are unstable even when the arrival rate is less than the service rate...The material of this volume is

Overview: Comprehensive view of tissue modeling across multiple systems.Chapters written by top experts in biomechanics and soft-tissue modeling.Broadens readers’ understanding of state-of-the-art computational.This book portrays the commonality of tissue micro-structure that dictates physiological function in various organs (microstructure-function relation). Tissue and organ models are used to illustrate physiological functions based on microstructure. Fiber scale properties such as orientation and crimp are described in detail. Structurally-based constitutive models are given throughout the

Overview: Explores issues related to corporate social reporting and provides perspectives on the role of government in enforcing regulations.Helps readers to understand the interrelations between firms, stakehoThis book addresses key issues related to the choice between governments regulating and enforcing society’s sustainability and social responsibility objectives, and firms reporting on their sustainable and socially responsible activities so stakeholders can exert pressure on firms to achieve society’s goals. While these may be considered as the two endpoints of a continuum, it is clear t

Overview: We planned this book as a Festschrift for Smitty Stevens because we thought he might be retiring around 1974, although we knew very well that only death or deep illness would stop Smitty from doing science. Death came suddenly, unexpectedly - after a full day of skiing at Vail, Colorado on the annual trip with wife Didi to the Winter Conference on Brain Research. Smitty liked winter conferences near ski resorts and often tried to get us other psychophysicists to organize one. Every person is unique. Smitty would have said it‘s mainly because each of us has so many genes that two comb

Overview: In the last few years there has been a growing interest in the development of numerical techniques appropriate for the approximation of differential model problems presenting multiscale solutions. This is the case, for instance, with functions displaying a smooth behavior, except in certain regions where sudden and sharp variations are localized. Typical examples are internal or boundary layers. When the number of degrees of freedom in the discretization process is not sufficient to ensure a fine resolution of the layers, some stabilization procedures are needed to avoid unpleasant o

Overview: Dieses Buch ist innovativ, da es erstmalig eine Analyse des Phänomens "Strategische Allianzen" aus volkswirtschaftlicher Sicht vornimmt. Dabei wird insbesondere das spezifisch "Strategische" an diesen Bündnissen herausgearbeitet. Es werden die Wettbewerbswirkungen strategischer Allianzen thematisiert. Die Analyse erfolgt mit Hilfe spieltheoretischer Methoden aus der Industrieökonomik und der mikroökonomischen Vertragstheorie. Es werden zunächst unterschiedliche Kooperationsanreize untersucht. In einem zweiten Schritt wird die Gestaltung der Zusammenarbeit thematisiert. Schließlich we

Overview: This book is intended for scientists, researchers, and graduate students interested in solutions in general, and solutions of metals in particular. Readers are assumed to have a good background in thermodynamics, presented in such books as those cited at the end of Chapter 1, "Thermo­ dynamic Background." The contents of the book are limited to the solutions of metals + metals, and metals + metalloids, but the results are also appli­ cable to numerous other types of solutions encountered by metallurgists, materials scientists, geologists, ceramists, and chemists. Attempts have been m

Overview: First single-authored monograph on screen adaptations of texts for children and young people.Develops a cohesive and conceptually framed analysis of texts in a range of genres.Views adaptation as a di.This book features a cutting edge approach to the study of film adaptations of literature for children and young people, and the narratives about childhood those adaptations enact. Historically, film media has always had a partiality for the adaptation of ‘classic’ literary texts for children. As economic and cultural commodities, McCallum points out how such screen adaptations play a c
