Overview: Includes supplementary material: Since the observation in the 19th century that an extract of the suprarenal bodies injected into the circulation caused a rise in blood pressure, the endocrine system has become a major component in our understanding of human physiology. The introduction of radioimmunoassay techniques and the ability to measure minimal amounts of hor­ mones (a term derived from the Greek "to excite") have shown that acute exercise causes a release of a large number of hormones and that chronic exercise may further lead to long-term alterations in endocrine homeostasis

Overview: Peter Hyland‘s study provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to Bellow‘s fiction. He gives a brief survey of the novelists‘s life and career, followed by a chronological account of all of his novels; in a separate chapter he considers the most significant of Bellow‘s short stories. The reader will find here a stimulating guide to Bellow‘s work and its place in the development of modern literature and ideas.

Overview: This book focusses on the emergence of local governance networks and examines the role of street-level bureaucrats during this process. It aims to identify whether some organizations are favored as state partners, whereas others have a lower chance of becoming part of such networks. Four different potential logics explaining such divergencies are developed. To find out how street-level bureaucrats influence the formation of governance networks this study considers Germany as an empirical case and takes a closer look at the work of volunteer managers. To identify unequal behavior of b

Overview: Beleuchtet das Verhältnis von Stadtgeschichte und Öffentlichkeit mit dem Fokus auf Stadtidentität.Handlungsansätze für den Umgang mit Stadtgeschichte.Exemplarische Darstellung anhand der Städte Nürnbe.Dieses Buch diskutiert interdisziplinär das Verhältnis zwischen Stadtgeschichte und Stadtmarketing und zeigt konkrete Beispiele für einen Umgang mit Stadtgeschichte auf, der sich als seriöse Inwertsetzung und Übersetzung der Geschichte vor allem an der Frage orientiert, was die Geschichte für Gegenwart und Zukunft der Stadt bedeuten kann.

Overview: Sozialwissenschaftliche Studie.Includes supplementary material: Christina Rentzsch analysiert in ihrer Fallstudie, wie Nonprofit-Organisationen (NPOs) einerseits mit veränderten Rahmenbedingungen umgehen und inwiefern sie andererseits ihre zivilgesellschaftliche Ausrichtung bewahren können. Ausgangspunkt ist, dass sich die Umwelt von NPOs nicht nur stetig wandelt, sondern immer stärker in Richtung Marktstrukturen verändert: Effizienz, Wettbewerb und Kostenreduktion sind moderne Markenzeichen des ‚New Public Management‘, das auch NPOs immer mehr in den Markt hineindrängt. Darunter ist

Overview: As is well known, Pontryagin‘s maximum principle and Bellman‘s dynamic programming are the two principal and most commonly used approaches in solving stochastic optimal control problems. * An interesting phenomenon one can observe from the literature is that these two approaches have been developed separately and independently. Since both methods are used to investigate the same problems, a natural question one will ask is the fol­ lowing: (Q) What is the relationship betwccn the maximum principlc and dy­ namic programming in stochastic optimal controls? There did exist some research

Overview: Leitfaden zur Effizienzsteigerung im IT-BereichFührungsgrössen und Checkfragen ganz unterschiedlich. Zudem müssen in vielen Fällen auch Änderungen und Verfeinerungen an der Definition der Führungsgrössen und Checkfragen gemacht werden. Es ist den Autoren auch klar, dass das Erheben der Führungsgrössen und Checkfragen die Performance von Informatikprozessen noch nicht erhöht. Eine Führungsgrösse ist nur dann sinnvoll, wenn der Zustand aufgrund der Erkenntnisse entweder bewusst so belassen oder bewusst verändert wird. Das Buch soll eine konkrete Hilfe in der Praxis bringen. Ein Anwen­
