Overview: .This book explores current financing optionsfor small and medium size enterprises (SMEs), with particular insight into theEuropean market. The authors position SME funding within a risk-averse lendingenvironment with high regulatory costs on business loans, which has arisen fromthe recent financial crisis and new European bank capital regulations. Chaptersin the book demonstrate how and why SMEs may be forced to leave the market andposit that shadow banking and other alternative funding options are viablechannels for raising funds. A new and innovative SME credit risk model is alsop

Overview: Among seismic waves generated by widely dilferent types of sources, the waves that are the most interest­ ing and of the longest duration are usually surface waves (which are also called normal waves, interference and channel waves, natural vibrations of layers, etc. ). These waves are distinguished by their dispersion and reso­ nance, and are used in many investigations - in the determination of the structure of the medium (the existence of surface layers and waveguides), in the determination of the coordinates and properties of the source (in par­ ticular its energy and mechanism),

Overview: Includes supplementary material: For the second time, the European Software Engineering Conference is being held jointly with the ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engine- ing (FSE). Although the two conferences have different origins and traditions, there is a significant overlap in intent and subject matter. Holding the conferences jointly when they are held in Europe helps to make these thematic links more explicit, and enco- ages researchers and practitioners to attend and submit papers to both events. The ESEC proceedings have traditionally been published by S

Overview: This book derives from Foucault‘s lectures at the College de France between January and April 1978, which can be seen as a radical turning point in his thought. Focusing on ‘bio-power‘, he studies the foundations of this new technology of power over population and explores the technologies of security and the history of ‘governmentality‘.978-1-4039-8653-5978-0-230-24507-5Series ISSN 2947-728X Series E-ISSN 2947-7298

Overview: Statistik - dieses Wort weckt unangenehme Erinnerungen an Tabellen, unüber­ schaubares Zahlenmaterial und lästige Fragebogen. Auch die Erinnerung an die Geschichte von der Steigerungsform der Lüge, nach der es drei Arten der Lüge gibt: einfache Lüge, gemeine Lüge, Statistik, wird geweckt. Und dennoch kann man sich der Qualität der Argumentation nicht entziehen, wenn Zahlen, mit dem Anschein des unumstößlich Faktischen verbunden, in die Dis~ussion geworfen werden. Allgemein wird anerkannt, daß exakte Kenntnis des Wirtschafts-und Gesellschaftslebens weitgehend auf statistischen Erhebun

Overview: Assembled a set of global case studies that re-examine the ‘subsistence question’ in light of recent research.Contrasts traditional approaches, which emphasize population pressure and climate change, .Subsistence intensification, innovation and change have long figured prominently in explanations for the development of social complexity among foragers and horticulturalists, and the rise of chiefly societies and archaic states, yet there is considerable debate over the actual mechanisms that promote these processes. Traditional approaches to the "intensification question" emphasize po

Overview: Verständnis für Statistik ohne tief in die Mathematik einzusteigen: anwendungsorientiert und mit vielen Beispielen1.1 Was ist Statistische Datenanalyse? a Eine .,Statistik" ist im täglichen Sprachgebrauch eine Zusammenstellung von Zahlen über Be­ völkerungsgruppen, ökonomische Tätigkeiten, Krankheiten, Wetterlagen oder Umwelteinflüsse. Viele Statistiken beschreiben in einem weiten Sinn den Zustand des Staates; die Statistik als Disziplin hat von da ihren Namen. In den heutigen empirischen Wissenschaften werden zu allen denkbaren Fragestellungen nach Möglichkeit Daten gesammelt. Teilw

Overview: Information technology constantly changes and quickly becomes obsolete. The methodology of planning and implementing a health care information system, however, is more constant. Through practical, step-by-step guidelines, the author demonstrates how to establish the strategy and architecture against which vendor and system decisions must be made. Both management and technical perspectives are discussed. Thus, regardless of the technology used, the health care administrator and systems manager learn to implement information systems successfully and to link those systems with business

Overview: Provides the state of the art on research in smart modeling and simulation.Each chapter is based on a selected high-quality paper from the international workshop on Smart Simulation and Modelling for This book aims to provide a description of these new Artificial Intelligence technologies and approaches to the modeling and simulation of complex systems, as well as an overview of the latest scientific efforts in this field such as the platforms and/or the software tools for smart modeling and simulating complex systems. These tasks are difficult to accomplish using traditional computa

Overview: This monograph is sums up the development of singular system theory and provides the control circle with a systematic theory of the system. It focuses on the analysis and synthesis of singular control systems. Its distinctive features include systematic discussion of controllabilities and observabilities, design of singular or normal observers and compensators with their structural stability, systems analysis via transfer matrix, and studies of discrete-time singular systems. Some acquaintance with linear algebra and linear systems is assumed. Prospective readers are graduate student

Overview: Creates guidelines that sufficiently reflect the illness and corresponding interventions.Presents a quantitative study and focuses on the life histories of selected individuals after being diagnosed w.This book adopts an approach based on relational psychoanalysis, developed in the USA in and since the 1990s and guided by the self-psychology championed by Kohut and the Post-Kohutians. How people infected with HIV/AIDS live their lives is a growing concern in China. The book, based on relational psychoanalysis, explores their self-restoration, and more specifically, how adopting an at

Overview: .Strategies for Quasi-Monte Carlo. builds a framework todesign and analyze strategies for randomized quasi-Monte Carlo (RQMC).One key to efficient simulation using RQMC is to structure problems toreveal a small set of important variables, their number being theeffective dimension, while the other variables collectively arerelatively insignificant. Another is smoothing. The book provides manyillustrations of both keys, in particular for problems involvingPoisson processes or Gaussian processes. RQMC beats grids by a hugemargin. With low effective dimension, RQMC is an order-of-magnitu

Overview: Two chapters have been added on the HALMOS and KADISON similarity problems.Includes supplementary material: These notes revolve around three similarity problems, appearing in three different contexts, but all dealing with the space B(H) of all bounded operators on a complex Hilbert space H. The first one deals with group representations, the second one with C* -algebras and the third one with the disc algebra. We describe them in detail in the introduction which follows. This volume is devoted to the background necessary to understand these three problems, to the solutions that are k

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Substructural logics are by now one of the most prominent branches of the research field usually labelled as "nonclassical logics" - and perhaps of logic .tout court.. Over the last few decades a vast amount of research papers and even some books have been devoted to this subject. The aim of the present book is to give a comprehensive account of the "state of the art" of substructural logics, focusing both on their proof theory (especially on sequent calculi and their generalizations) and on their semantics (both algebraic and relational)..Readership:

Overview: With the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope in 1982 by Binnig and Rohrer and the subsequent award of the Nobel Prize, the field of scan­ ning microscopy was given a strong boost in view of its wide range of ap­ plications. In particular, expanding the capability to access nature‘s foundations at the atomic level is now recognized as having the potential for major impact in Infonnation Technology. This third volume of the ESPRIT Basic Research Series provides a well structured overview of the state of the art of scanning microscopy and re­ cent advances including results o
