Overview: This SpringerBrief provides a concise guide to applying wireless energy transfer techniques in traditional battery-powered sensor networks. It examines the benefits and challenges of wireless power including efficiency and reliability. The authors build a wireless rechargeable sensor networks from scratch and aim to provide perpetual network operation. Chapters cover a wide range of topics from the collection of energy information and recharge scheduling to joint design with typical sensing applications such as data gathering. Problems are approached using a natural combination of pr

Overview: Offers a unique and deeply interdisciplinary contribution to open up the black box of contemporary practices and theories of home-making for the elderly and in end-of-life care.Brings together for theThis is a book on how home is made when care enters the lives of people as they grow old at home or in ‘homely’ institutions. Throughout the book, contributors show how home is a verb: it is something people .do.. Home is thus always in the making, temporal, contested, and open to negotiation and experimentation. By bringing together approaches from STS, anthropology, health humanities a

Overview: The broad spectrum of topics covered in the nine symposia and four open-paper sessions of the Third Inter­ national Wildlife Disease Conference comprise a remarkable collection of ideas and current research information on diseases of wildlife. The term "wildlife" is broad in itself and is interpreted by the Conference sponsor, The Wildlife Disease Association, to mean all free-living vertebrate and invertebrate members of the animal kingdom. The Conference‘s invitational symposia brought to Munich an array of wildlife specialists from around the world who addressed major problems aff

Overview: First book to examine the advantages and disadvantages of existing modeling and pricing methodologies associated with weather derivatives.Presents state-of-the-art tools and strategies for studying we​Weather derivatives are financial instruments that can be used by organizations or individuals as part of a risk management strategy to minimize risk associated with adverse or unexpected weather conditions. Just as traditional contingent claims, a weather derivative has an underlying measure, such as: rainfall, wind, snow or temperature.  Nearly $1 trillion of the U.S. economy is direc

Overview: The initial purposes of this book were to update and extend the discussion and the results presented ill our previous book, The Labor Market and Business Cycle Theories. Our 1990 article, which appeared in The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, represented a first step in this direction. The consequences of this effort have materialized in a number of new chapters that has led de facto to a new book, in which the surviving parts have been largely revised. The 1989 book was too mathematically oriented for many Keynesians and post­ Keynesians to be fully appreciated and ins

Overview: Der Wärmeübergang durch Strahlung hat in den letzten Jahren erheblich an Bedeutung gewonnen, vor allem durch die Raumfahrttechnik, Sonnenenergiegewinnung, Energiesparmaßnahmen usw. Dieser Band der Reihe enthält die theoretischen Grundlagen der Temperaturstrahlung, eine eingehende Behandlung des "idealen Strahlers" - des Schwarzen Körpers -, die klassische elektromagnetische Theorie, insoweit sie zur Berechnung der Strahlungseigenschaften von Leitern und Nichtleitern herangezogen werden kann, Materialeigenschaften - speziell der Oberfläche - und deren gezielte Beeinflussung werden bes

Overview: Deals with the philosophical challenge to revisit our worldview when ethically reflecting about organizational issues.Explains how moral and post-moral worldviews could be built up through the use of This book provides an innovative way to revisit the depth and scope of our moral/post-moral worldviews, while undertaking an ontic reflection about organizational life. .The ontic dimension of life refers to existing entities’ lived experiences. It has nothing to do with psychological and relational processes. The ontic level of analysis mirrors a philosophical outlook on organizational

Overview: Eine wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Studie.Auf Basis theoretischer Ansätze leitet Jana Wies Hypothesen zu dem Sender-Empfänger-Vergleich von Weiterempfehlungen mit Service-Recovery her. Sie überprüft die Hypothesen mithilfe einer Befragung mit realen Weiterempfehlungen und zwei experimentellen Studien empirisch. Die Autorin zeigt, dass Empfänger die Weiterempfehlungen negativer wahrnehmen als Sender, wenn diese Service-Recoverys enthalten. Dieser Effekt wird verstärkt durch die Schwere des Dienstleistungsfehlers und verringert durch die Beziehungsstärke zwischen dem Sender und dem Unte

Overview: Addresses major issues related to power grid insertion of photovoltaic systems.Discusses solutions for state of the sky description and solar radiative regime characterization.Focuses on forecasting t.In the past decade, there has been a substantial increase of grid-feeding photovoltaic applications, thus raising the importance of solar electricity in the energy mix. This trend is expected to continue and may even increase.

Overview: The creation of this book stems largely from the current centennial cele­ bration of the founding in Leipzig of Wundt‘s psychological laboratory. Wundt is acknowledged by many as one of the principal founders of experimental psychology. His laboratory, his journal, and his students were all influential in the transmission of the new psychology from Germany to all parts of the world. Nevertheless, until recently, psychol­ ogists and historians of science hardly recognized the scope and breadth of Wundt‘s influence, not to mention his contributions.! It was first through E. B.
