Overview: Wie erklärt sich menschliches Zusammenleben?.Das Paper App gibt eine kurze Einführung in soziologisches Denken. Neben den herkömmlich kontrastierten Großrichtungen Holismus und Individualismus gibt es seit jeher eine weitere – den Relationismus..Nach einer knappen Einleitung in den Gegenstand, den Entstehungskontext und die Verfahrensweisen der Soziologie, wird gezeigt, inwiefern bereits drei Klassiker des Faches (Durkheim, Weber, Simmel) die drei logisch möglichen Grundperspektiven des Blicks auf das soziale Zusammenleben von Menschen entworfen haben. Die sich daraus ergebenden drei

Overview: Die Neukundenakquisition und das Kundenbindungsmanagement sind in zahlreichen Branchen von Prämien zur Gewinnung von neuen bzw. Bindung von bestehenden Kunden geprägt. Immer mehr Kunden nutzen mittlerweile das Instrument Kündigung, um bessere Vertragskonditionen und Prämien verhandeln zu können. Stephan Naß untersucht die Existenz eines strategischen Kündigungsverhaltens sowie dessen Einfluss auf die tatsächliche Kundenabwanderung. Darüber hinaus entwickelt er ein Modell, mit dessen Hilfe auf der Basis von unternehmensintern verfügbaren Daten ermittelt werden kann, ob ein Kündiger st

Overview: In order to design and build computers that achieve and sustain high performance, it is essential that reliability issues be considered care­ fully. The problem has several aspects. Certainly, considering reliability implies that an engineer must be able to analyze how design decisions affect the incidence of failure. For instance, in order design reliable inte­ gritted circuits, it is necessary to analyze how decisions regarding design rules affect the yield, i.e., the percentage of functional chips obtained by the manufacturing process. Of equal importance in producing reliable com

Overview: The brief focuses on applying sublinear algorithms to manage critical big data challenges. The text offers an essential introduction to sublinear algorithms, explaining why they are vital to large scale data systems. It also demonstrates how to apply sublinear algorithms to three familiar big data applications: wireless sensor networks, big data processing in Map Reduce and smart grids. These applications present common experiences, bridging the theoretical advances of sublinear algorithms and the application domain. Sublinear Algorithms for Big Data Applications is suitable for rese

Overview: Provides a multifaceted overview of the Mediterranean ecosystem.Presents a unique approach to describe the Mediterranean environment.Based on the real life experiences of a world-wide known marine sci.The capacity of humans to destroy their environment is playing out like a Greek tragedy in the Mediterranean Sea. After having coexisted with a diversity of marine animals throughout their history, humans have broken the balance in recent decades, and the survival of countless marine creatures is now increasingly uncertain. However, unlike in classical tragedies, real-life entities are

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-662-23089-3978-3-662-25057-0

Overview: During the almost thousand-year history of universities, campuses have always been physical spaces. As we end the twentieth century, some univ- sity interactions have moved to cyberspace and the level of activity there grows at a breathtaking speed. At this stage of development, however, the university is still localized in time and space.The university as a place has found its most striking expression in the Anglo-Saxon world. Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard,William and Mary,Yale, Princeton,Virginia, and Stanford are all physical places, campuses to which students remove th- selves for a

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Das Buch wendet sich an alle diejenigen, die sich im Rahmen des Studiums oder des Referendariats erstmals mit den Grundzügen des strafrechtlichen Sanktionensystems vertraut machen wollen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die rechtlichen Anwendungsvoraussetzungen der verschiedenen Strafarten sowie die Grundprobleme der Strafzumessung.
