Overview: Despite numerous studies devoted to the thalamus, its function as a whole and specifically the functional role of the individual thalamic nuclei, outside those regions that are involved in the processing of the sensory information, still remains in the realm of speculation. The latter have been the primary focus of thalamic investigations, whereas other regions have received little attention especially in primates. Complexity of the thalamic structure that does not lend itself to easy experimentation, lack of agreement among investigators on thalamic parcelations and nomenclature, un

Overview: Introduction of the new “upper triangular technology” method.Detailed application of upper triangular technology to operations in algebraic K-theory and to the Arf-Kervaire invariant problem..An accouWere I to take an iron gun, And ?re it o? towards the sun; I grant ‘twould reach its mark at last, But not till many years had passed. But should that bullet change its force, And to the planets take its course, ‘Twould never reach the nearest star, Because it is so very far. from FACTS by Lewis Carroll [55] Let me begin by describing the two purposes which prompted me to write this mono

For this reason, the whole material

Overview: Neue Kommunikationsmedien und insbesondere das Internet gehören zu den beherrschenden Themen der gegenwärtigen öffentlichen Diskussion in Wirtschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft. Vor allem im Bereich des Electronic Commerce sind bereits heute eine Vielzahl neuer Geschäftslö­ sungen entstanden, die das Internet sowohl zur Kommunikation mit Endkunden (Business-to­ Consumer) als auch von Geschäftspartnern untereinander (Business-to-Business) als Medium nutzen. Elektronische Märkte stellen einen zentralen Baustein des Electronic Commerce dar. Erfolgreiche Internet-Unternehmen, wie beispiels

Overview: Migrierende Sexarbeiterinnen im Spannungsfeld von Gewalterfahrungen und HandlungsoptionenSexarbeit ist ein facettenreiches, vielschichtiges und heterogenes Handlungs- und Wissensfeld, das zugleich von vielfältigen Ambivalenzen und moralischen Imperativen im Alltag und in der Wissenschaft durchzogen ist. Maritza Le Breton rekonstruiert anhand von Gesprächen mit migrierenden Sexarbeiterinnen aus verschiedenen Ländern das Spektrum von Machtkonstellationen und Gewaltverhältnissen, die deren Lebens- und Arbeitssituationen bedingen und zeichnet ihre Handlungsoptionen und -kapazitäten als s

Overview: Neue soziologische Perspektive in der OrganisationsberatungFür viele Wirtschaftsunternehmen ist die Zusammenarbeit mit externen Beratern zu einer Selbstverständlichkeit geworden. Dennoch ist das Verhältnis zwischen Berater und Klient nicht unbelastet. Die Kritik richtet sich vor allem auf die rasch wechselnden Managementmoden, die mangelnde Umsetzbarkeit von Problemlösungen und das damit verbundene Scheitern vieler Beratungsprojekte. Ist die klassische Managementberatung an die Grenzen ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit gekommen? Für eine Beratung, die den heutigen Ansprüchen der Klienten genü

Overview: This conference is the second on the Science and Technology of Thin Film Superconductors. It proved to be an excellent forum for these specialists in thin film superconductivity. The conference, held April 30-May 4, 1990, in Denver, Colorado, hosted 170 researchers from 17 countries. The response to the conference again emphasized the need for a meeting devoted to the science and technology of thin film superconductors. The breadth of artic1es and advances made in this technology since the first conference in November 1988, reflect on the maturity of the topic. These proceedings cont

Overview: Conceptual work combing research on change & trust.Given that studies repeatedly suggest a 70 % failure rate of organizational change, Katharina de Biasi attempts to answer the question why traditional change theory has yet to prove successful, although mastering change has been identified as one of the “Management Challenges for the 21.st. century”. As a result the author proposes to leverage the change paradox continuity in times of change and to solve it by means of trust. A trust-based formula for successful change is derived which constitutes the finding that trust-formation mus
