Overview: Reports on an investigation of factors that promote and constrain, the adoption of environmenatl initiatives by SMEs.Particular consideration is given to the roles of firm competitiveness, management 1. 1 Aims and Objectives The major aim of this research is to identify and weigh the importance of factors that promote and constrain, the adoption of environmental initiatives by small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). The objective is to inform how policy can overcome obstacles so as to promote the adoption of cleaner technology (includ­ ing environmentally sensitive products (Ooste

Overview: Warum können wir uns mit Computern immer noch nicht vernünftig unterhalten? Die Antwort auf diese Frage ist ernüchternd und motivierend zugleich: Weil wir das Phänomen "Sprache" in all seinen Facetten offenbar immer noch nicht so gut durchschauen, dass wir entsprechende Computerprogramme entwickeln könnten. Dieser Facettenreichtum und diese Komplexität sind sicher ein Grund, warum die Sprachwissenschaft noch immer ein so faszinierendes Gebiet ist. ..Der vorliegende Band versammelt Aufsätze rund um das Thema "Sprache", die meisten eher technischer, manche aber auch philologischer oder

Overview: Techno-regions have generated most of the new jobs in the past decade and this technology is driving economic development; however, problems persist. This book highlights the potential pitfalls and suggests methods by which a sustainable, distinctive and prosperous technology-based regional economy can exist.978-1-349-54794-4978-0-230-59724-2

Overview: Is the first-known book to offer strategies for making healthy aging campaigns and their initiatives successful.Proposes "sustainable aging" as framework for understanding healthy aging when sustainab.This book uniquely operationalizes "sustainable ageing" as a concept for reimagining ways by which: (1) social and health threats (i.e., climate change events, extreme industrialization, infectious disease outbreak, and war) can constrain the implementation of healthy ageing campaigns or limit their outcomes, and (2) potential transdisciplinary strategies can be rolled out to optimize h

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .The skin, the body’s largest organ, is strategically located at the interface with the external environment where it detects, integrates and responds to a diverse range of stressors, including solar radiation. It has already been established that the skin is an important peripheral neuroendocrine-immune organ that is closely networked with central regulatory systems. These capabilities contribute to the maintenance of peripheral homeostasis. Specifically, epidermal and dermal cells produce and respond to classical stress neurotransmitters, neuropepti

Overview: Specification and design methodology has seen significant growth as a research area over the last decade, tracking but lagging behind VLSI design technology in general and the CAD industry in particular. The commercial rush to market tries to leverage existing technology which fuels CAD design tool development. Paralleling this is very active basic and applied research to investigate and move forward rational and effective methodologies for accomplishing digital design, especially in the field of hardware/software codesign. It is this close relationship between industry and academia

Overview: Es handelt sich um ein alltägliches Problem, wie es einem in Oldenburg und Umge­ bung (immer noch, aber seltener werdend) begegnet. Jemand betritt einen Milchladen mit einer Kanne K, die genau die Menge V K (z. B. VK = 7 1) faßt, und möchte die Menge Soll kaufen (mit 0 < Soll S; VK , z. B. Soll = 41). Der Milchverkäufer hat nur einen Eimer E, der es erlaubt, die Menge VE (mit VE ~ VK, z. B. VE = 10 1) abzumessen. Frage: Kann man mit diesen beiden Gefäßen aus einer großen Milchwanne die gewünschte Menge abfüllen oder nicht? Und falls ja, wie soll das vor sich gehen? Die Lösung soll al
