Overview: The publication of this book was undertaken with two purposes in view: to bring together informatian on the deposition by living organ­ isms of unique skeletal structures composed of amorphous silica, and to review recent data on the involvement of silicon in physiological and biochemical processes. Although widely varying viewpoints are represented, all the contributors are very interested in the events in­ volved in the formatian of siliceaus structures and their function. Data presented deal with these questions in a variety of plant and animal systems, and at levels ranging from

Overview: Geleitwort Immer mehr Märkte können - oder müssen - als turbulent charakterisiert werden. Veränderungen treten nicht nur immer rascher im Sinne einer zunehmenden Dynamik auf. Produktlebenszyklen verkürzen sich nicht einfach. Der Wettbewerb äussert sich nicht einfach "nur" in einem zunehmenden Preis-oder Kostendruck. Die Veränderungs­ muster an sich werden komplexer. Ganze Branchen lösen sich auf, Konkurrenz­ unternehmen konfigurieren sich neu und die Märkte transformieren sich. Märkte, für die sich ein Unternehmen strategisch fit macht, sind plötzlich nicht mehr relevant, weil sich d

Overview: Die Bestimmung der Geräuschentwicklung von Lärmquellen geschieht bisher vorzugsweise in Hallräumen oder im Gegensatz dazu in reflexionsarmen Räumen, die besonders für akustische Messungen gebaut werden. Zur Lärmbeurteilung von Maschinen besteht jedoch der Wunsch, diese an ihrem endgültigen Aufstel­ lungsort in der Fabrikhalle zu vermessen; zuweilen sind die Maschinen auch so groß oder schwer, daß sie nicht in die akustischen Meßräume hineingebracht werden können. Deshalb ist die Kenntnis der Schallfeldverhältnisse in diesen Räumen erforderlich, auch für Lärmbekämpfungsmaßnahmen ist d

Overview: Goes into the heart of the academic discussion on financial stability, crisis and sovereign risk by centering on quantitative-empirical aspects, proposing new methods and evaluating prominent approach.Sovereign risk and financial crises play a key role in current international economic developments, particularly in the case of economic downturns. As the Asian economic crisis in the late 1990s revealed once again, financial crises are the rule rather than the exception in capitalist economies. The event also revealed that international public debt agreements are contingent claims. In

Overview: Partnerfindung, Zufriedenheit und Free-RidingSharing-Economy-Netzwerke sind spezielle Managementobjekte, deren Komplexität eine eingehende Untersuchung ihrer Funktionsweise und Grundprobleme erfordert. Maximilian Lukesch entwickelt für das Beispiel eines Online-Mitfahrdiensts ein umfangreiches Managementkonzept, das die Steuerung seiner „eigenwilligen“ Nutzer in den Mittelpunkt rückt. Als Analysewerkzeug dienen Austausch- und Netzwerktheorie: Sie decken die Vorgänge in der einzelnen Fahrgemeinschaftsbeziehung und im Mitfahrnetzwerk als Gesamtes auf. Dieses Verständnis erlaubt es, Han

Overview: The book shows, through in-depth case studies, how some low income countries have made enormous strides in overcoming problems of adult literacy, lack of schooling, high child mortality, rapid population growth, mass poverty and gender inequalities. With contributions from outstanding scholars, the book analyses the experiences with social development and public policy of Chile, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Kerala, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Using a holistic approach, it draws lessons and evaluates their relevance for other countries interested in emulating their achievements.978-0-333-77912

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Complutense University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain.Self-contained and pedagogical treatment.Features numerous results on integrability in the context of AdThis book addresses several aspects of the integrable structure of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular it presents computations made on both sides of the AdS/CFT correspondence, at weak and at strong coupling. On the string theory side of the correspondence, the book focuses on the evaluation of the energy spectrum of closed string solutions moving in some deformed backgrounds that

Overview: Shows the reader how to expand the use of stochastic control methods beyond those usually available in a broad range of industrial process environments.Uses linear matrix inequality methods to allow t.A recent development in SDC-related problems is the establishment of intelligent SDC models and the intensive use of LMI-based convex optimization methods. Within this theoretical framework, control parameter determination can be designed and stability and robustness of closed-loop systems can be analyzed. This book describes the new framework of SDC system design and provides a compreh
