Overview: Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: ​Effizienz und Effektivität sind wesentliche Garanten, um im Wirtschaftsgeschehen langfristig überleben zu können. Ein dynamisches Umfeld verlangt dabei die Abkehr von einer einseitig strategischen hin zu einer beidseitig strategischen Ausrichtung. Im SCM-Kontext erfolgt dies in Form der Adaption eines lean-agilen Supply Chain-Designs. Sandra Meta Tandler untersucht die Unsicherheitsfaktoren, die diesen Supply Chain-Typ charakterisieren und entwickelt ein Konzept zur Erhöhung der Versorgungssicherheit. Es werden u.a

Overview: .This book examines the performative life reconciliation and its discontents in settler societies. It explores the refoundings of the settler state and reimaginings of its alternatives, as well as the way the past is mobilized and reworked in the name of social transformation within a new global paradigm of reconciliation and the ‘age of apology‘. .978-1-349-67179-3978-1-137-30454-4Series ISSN 2635-1633 Series E-ISSN 2635-1641

Overview: Unique book focused on environmental aspects of sand mining.Contains both theory about causes and consequences of sand mining as well as practical case study examples.Details case studies in India whi.This book addresses most of the environmental impacts of sand mining from small rivers The problems and solutions addressed in this book are applicable to all rivers that drain through densely populated tropical coasts undergoing rapid economic growth. Many rivers in the world are drastically being altered to levels often beyond their natural resilience capability. Among the different t

Overview: Provides timely conceptual and practical support for public housing redevelopment.Advances the idea of spatial justice through enhancing its practicality in critical spatial analysis and planning.ContDespite the significance of urban justice in planning research and practice, how just societies and cities can be organised and achieved remains contested. Spatial justice provides an integrative and unifying theory concerning place, policies, people and their interplay, but  ambiguities about its practical bases have undermined its application in planning. Through creating and substanti

Overview: Fair and efficient pricing has become increasingly important in international environmental and transport policy. Thus the valuation and internalization of social costs is now a crucial element within strategies towards sustainable mobility. The book provides methods and results from major European and American studies evaluating both social costs of transport and first experiences with their internalization in different contexts: infrastructure planning, urban road pricing and highway tolling. Additionally, complementary non-monetary instruments for a transition towards sustainable

Overview: Describes problems of security and privacy in implantable medical devices and proposes technological solutions.Includes basic abstractions of cryptographic services and primitives such as public key cThis book presents a systematic approach to analyzing the challenging engineering problems posed by the need for security and privacy in implantable medical devices (IMD).  It describes in detail new issues termed as lightweight security, due to the associated constraints on metrics such as available power, energy, computing ability, area, execution time, and memory requirements.

Overview: .This book examines how contemporary urbanism is influenced by digital and low carbon transitions. From its infancy at the scale of individual buildings, a focus on ‘green’ agenda, energy, and resource efficiency has fostered research and policies for low carbon cities, eco-cities, and increasingly intelligent and smarter urban systems. Cities around the world are getting ‘smarter’ as more advanced technology is integrated into urban planning and design. People are relying more on digital and information and communication technology (ICT) in their daily lives, while cities are adopti

Overview: This book was planned and written with one central goal in mind: to demonstrate that statistical thermodynamics can be used successfully by a broad group of scientists, ranging from chemists through biochemists to biologists, who are not and do not intend to become specialists in statistical thermodynamics. The book is addressed mainly to gradu­ ate students and research scientists interested in designing experiments the results of which may be interpreted at the molecular level, or in interpreting such experimental results. It is not addressed to those who intend to practice statist

Overview: Zur theoretischen Erfassung von Steuerungs-HandelnWie lässt sich Steuerung in Organisationen theoretisch angemessen erfassen? Handlungstheorien greifen zur Erklärung von (Steuerungs-)Handeln auf individuelle Akteure und soziale Strukturen zurück, die Systemtheorie auf soziale Strukturen und Interaktionsprozesse. Damit, so die Ausgangsthese des Buches, lassen die Theorien jeweils einen wichtigen Aspekt der Bestimmung sozialen (Steuerungs-)Handelns unberücksichtigt: die Handlungstheorien die Bestimmung durch die laufenden Interaktionsprozesse und die Systemtheorie die Bestimmung durch
