Overview: Includes supplementary material: This SpringerBrief discusses multiple forms of open-source-inspired outsourcing: opensourcing, innersourcing and crowdsourcing. It uses a framework-based comparison to explain the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. By pointing out characteristics along with benefits and pitfalls of each approach, the authors provide nuanced and research-based advice to managers and developers facing software sourcing decisions. The differences and commonalities of these three emerging approaches are carefully analyzed. Chapters explore the primary challenges o

Overview: Examines the relationship between sport and psychophysical well-being across countries.Discusses how sport entertainment creates a perception of healthy bodies, activity and quality of life.Measures tThis book brings together essays analyzing the impact of sport and physical activity on psychophysical well-being and quality of life, through multidisciplinary and multi-country studies. It discusses how the commercial dimension of sport entertainment and recreational dimension of sport practice have been increasingly brought together in discussions on individual health and well-being,

Overview: Develops a philosophical worldview that is truly consistent with contemporary mainstream science.Shows how a most minimalistic and radical version of physicalism can accommodate aspects and issues.Int.This book demonstrates how a radical version of physicalism (‘No-Self Physicalism’) can offer an internally coherent and comprehensive philosophical worldview. It first argues that a coherent physicalist should explicitly treat a cognitive subject merely as a physical thing and should not vaguely assume an amorphous or even soul-like subject or self. This approach forces the physicalist

Overview: Although present day politics seems to be preoccupied with questions of economic growth and full employment, the basic environmental problems stemming from the interactions of the economic sphere with global, regional and local environments persist and will have an even greater impact in the future. If economy and ecology are not reconciled in the years to come, mankind will not have a sustainable future on Earth. The typical negation of environmental problems in times of economic crisis is partially due to the fact that environmental and health damages of economic activities are nei

Overview: The present simulation method has been developed at the Institute for Power Technology and Steam Generation (IVD) of the University of Stuttgart. It is being successfully employed in the analysis of processes involving large state changes such as start-ups, shut­ downs, malfunctions and failures in steam power generating unit, which is a large scale system consisting of several subsystems with distributed parameters, to which the steam generator also belongs. This research resulted from the increasing use of the once-through boiler, while simultaneously raising the steam parameters i

Overview: Presents latest results in statistical implicative analysis.Includes supplementary material: .Statistical implicative analysis is a data analysis method created by Régis Gras almost thirty years ago which has a significant impact on a variety of areas ranging from pedagogical and psychological research to data mining. Statistical implicative analysis (SIA) provides a framework for evaluating the strength of implications; such implications are formed through common knowledge acquisition techniques in any learning process, human or artificial. This new concept has developed into a unif

Overview: Das Buch gibt eine Einführung in die Theorie der Nachrichtenübertragung. Zunächst werden die Analyse determinierter und statistischer Signale sowie die Systemtheorie auf gründliche, gut verständliche Art vorgestellt. Es wird besonderer Wert darauf gelegt, die Methoden der Beschreibung und Verarbeitung zeitdiskreter (digitaler) Signale von vornherein mit einzuarbeiten und die engen Beziehungen zur klassischen Theorie herauszustellen. Auf dieser Grundlage werden dann die Prinzipien der Nachrichtenübertragung über gestörte Kanäle behandelt. Eigenart des Textes ist die Gestaltung des Sto
