Overview: .Switched-Current Design and Implementation of OversamplingA/D. .Converters. discusses the switched-current (SI) techniqueand its application in oversampling A/D converters design. The SItechnique is an analog sampled-data technique that fully exploits thedigital CMOS process. Compared with the traditional switched-capacitor(SC) technique, the SI technique has both pros and cons that arehighlighted in the book. With the consideration of similarity anddifference of SI and SC techniques, oversampling A/D converterarchitectures are tailored and optimized for SI design andimplementation

Overview: Als Teilbereich der empirischen Sozialwissenschaften will die Betriebswirtschaftslehre Phänomene der ökonomischen Realität erklären und gestalten. Diesem Anspruch kann sie nur durch die Formulierung empirisch gehaltvoller Theorien und ihrer Überprüfung gerecht werden. ..Am Beispiel der Hidden-Action-Modelle der Prinzipal-Agent-Theorie, die entsprechend der konventionellen Theorienauffassung formuliert sind, untersucht Adem Alparslan zwei Defizite betriebswirtschaftlicher Theorien, nämlich die mangelnde Strukturierung der Aussagenzusammenhänge und die Widerlegungsresistenz der Prinzip

Overview: Die zunehmende Bedeutung des Supply Chain Management spiegelt sich in einer steigenden Zahl von Publikationen und Tagungen zum Thema wider. Eine zentrale Frage besteht darin, wie Wertschöpfungsketten gemeinsam auf Ziele ausgerichtet werden können, so daß sie ge­ meinsam ihre optimale Leistungsfähigkeit entfalten. Auch wenn einzelne Arbeiten zum Per­ formance Management in Wertschöpfungsketten bereits vorliegen, so stellt Klaus Zimmer­ mann mit der Supply Chain Balanced Scorecard ein Konzept vor, das die Anforderungen an die Steuerung von Wertschöpfungsketten umfassend berücksichtigt.

Overview: Die Hersteller kurzlebiger Konsumgüter, insbesondere die Markenartikelhersteller, stehen bereits seit Jahren vor der Herausforderung, dass die Absatzmärkte für deren Kernprodukte annähernd gesättigt sind und ein Wachstum vorrangig nur durch die Ausweitung des Produktangebots möglich ist. Als dominierende Strategie hat sich dabei die Einführung neuer Produkte in Form von Markentransfers etabliert...Christian Reinstrom analysiert die Steuerungsmöglichkeiten des Markentransfererfolgs. Er entwickelt ein hypothesengeleitetes Modell und überprüft es in einer großzahligen Konsumentenbefragu

Overview: Schreibkompetenz ,Teamkompetenz und Interkulturelle Kompetenz.Schreiben, Kooperation in Teams und interkulturelle Kompetenz sind drei Schlüssel zum erfolgreichen Studium. Wie können sich Studierende innerhalb eines Seminars die drei Kompetenzen Schreiben, Teamfähigkeit und interkulturelle Kompetenz gemeinsam erarbeiten? Die Herausgeberinnen stellen ein zur Adaption geeignetes Seminarkonzept vor, mit dem sich diese nicht nur für das Studium relevanten Schlüsselkompetenzen in der Lehre umsetzen lassen. Ausgangspunkt ist ein zweijähriges Modellprojekt mit interkulturellen Schreibteams.

Overview: Semiconductors have been used widely in signal-level or "brain" applications. Since their invention in 1948, transistors have revolutionized the electronics industry in computers, information processing, and communications. Now, however, semiconductors are being used more and more where consid­ erable "brawn" is required. Devices such as high-power bipolar junction tran­ sistors and power field-effect transistors, as well as SCRs, TRlACs, GTOs, and other semiconductor switching devices that use a p-n-p-n regenerative effect to achieve bistable action, are expanding the power-handling

Overview: Overview of current methods and software for text mining.Experts from academia and industry share their experiences in solving large-scale retrieval and classification problems.Highlights open researcAs we enter the third decade of the World Wide Web (WWW), the textual revolution has seen a tremendous change in the availability of online information. Finding inf- mation for just about any need has never been more automatic—just a keystroke or mouseclick away. While the digitalization and creation of textual materials continues at light speed, the ability to navigate, mine, or casuall

Overview: Surgical Emergencies in Clinical Practice is a vital book in the new course being organised by the Editor: National and International Surgical Emergencies Course.Surgical Emergencies in Clinical Pract.With the introduction of new post-graduate Medical training in the UK, virtually all doctors will be exposed to some form of surgical training prior to specialization. Many of these doctors will have little exposure to surgical emergencies in medical school. Thus, they may unnecessarily refer to a senior doctor when not needed, or catastrophically neglect a patient needing urgent surgic

Overview: concert at Dinkelspiel Auditorium ‘An Evening of Songs and Arias‘ hosted by Dr Kip Cranna of San Francisco Opera, produced and directed by Elizabeth Tucker, and featuring soprano Ellie Holt Murray, mezzo-soprano Marsha Sims; tenor Richard Walker, and baritone David Taft Kekuewa, with piano accompaniment by Mark Haffner, staff coach for San Francisco Opera. Two scientific themes clearly emerged from this conference: (1) the key to progress in flare research lies in a multispectral approach with as much temporal resolution as the photon fluxes allow; and (2) the key to understanding th

Overview: Over the generations the skin has been the site for immunization against smallpox. This method of immunization was described in a letter written by Lady Mary Montagu on April 1, 1717 in Adrianopole, Turkey: "The small-pox, so fatal, and so general amongst us, is here entirely harmless by the invention of ingrafting, which is the term they give it. . . The old woman comes with a nut-shell full of the matter of the best sort of small-pox . . . She immediately rips open (the skin) with a large needle . . . and puts into the vein as much venom as can lie upon the head of her needle, and

Overview: The first book of its kind, this volume builds new bridges between the fields of social neuroscience and public health.Reviews a critical mass of empirical research and theory regarding brain-behaviorThe field of public health is primarily concerned with understanding and improving physical health from a large group perspective (i.e., communities and whole populations). The field of social neuroscience, on the other hand, is primarily concerned with examining brain-behavior relationships that unfold in a social context. Both of these are rapidly developing fields of inquiry, and thei

Overview: Here, Wm. Alex McIntosh analyzes the relationship between foodand nutrition and social factors, using a wide array of sociologicaltheories. The author applies theories of social organization, culture,social stratification, social change, rural sociology, the sociologyof the body, and social problems to empirical problems in food andnutrition. By doing so, he sheds light on issues such as the rise ofthe state; population growth; famine; obesity; eating disorders; themaldistribution of food across class, gender, and ethnic boundaries;and the changing nature of the food industry.978-1-4

Overview: Since Margaret Thatcher‘s election in 1979, a recurrent theme in government rhetoric has centred around the family and moral values. During its years in office, the government has passed legislation on sex education and obscenity and been involved in battles over abortion, contraception for under-16s and other issues. This study examines the work of moral crusades during the Thatcher years and their relationship to the government and the New Right and challenges those accounts which see Thatcherism as pursuing a consistent moralist agenda and which equate anti-abortion campaigners or
