Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Designing Stress Resistant Organizations demonstrates, in a persuasive way, how computational organization theory can be applied to advance the field of management with its successful integration of theory and practice. At the theoretical level, the book contains a comprehensive computational framework called DYCORP, which simulates dynamic and interactive organizational behaviors by incorporating multiple factors such as organizational design, task environment, and stress, and which generates consistent and insightful propositions on organizational performance. The book utilizes an organization science based approach to computational modeling. This approach recognizes the limit of human cognition as it was outlined by Herbert A. Simon in 1947. The model strives to focus on the essence of the reality that is most relevant to the research issue. This approach has been proven to be more beneficial for us to understand the underlying dynamics of the phenomenon.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Research in carbon nanotubes has reached a horizon that is impacting a variety of fields, such as nanoelectronics, flat panel display, composite materials, sensors, nanodevices, and novel instrumentation. The unique structures of the nanotubes result in numerous superior physical and chemical properties, such as the strongest mechan ical strength, the highest thermal conductivity, room-temperature ballistic quantum conductance, electromechanical coupling, and super surface functionality. Several books are available that introduce the synthesis, physical and chemical properties, and applications of carbon nanotubes. Among the various analytical techniques, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) has played a key role in the discovery and characterization of carbon nanotubes. It may be claimed that carbon nanotubes might not have been discovered without using HRTEM. There is a great need for a book that addresses the theory, techniques, and applications of electron microscopy and associated techniques for nanotube research. The objective of this book is to fill this gap. The potential of HRTEM is now well accepted in wide-ranging communities such as materials science, physics, chemistry, and electrical engineering. TEM is a powerful technique that is indispensable for characterizing nanomaterials and is a tool that each major research institute must have in order to advance its research in nanotechnology.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The digitisation of traditional media formats, such as text, images, video, and sound provides us with the ability to store, process, and transport content in a uniform way. This has led the formerly distinct industries of media, telecommunications, and information technology to converge. Cross-media publishing and service delivery are important new trends emerging in the content industry landscape. Mass-media organizations and content providers traditionally targeted content production towards a single delivery channel. However, recent economic and technological changes in the industry led content providers to extend their brands to cover multiple delivery channels. Following the content industry trend to 'create once and publish everywhere'-COPE, a number of architectures, technologies, and tools are currently being developed and deployed to facilitate the automatic conversion of content to multiple formats, and the creation of innovative multi-platform services. This new approach enables the seamless access to information over different network infrastructures and client platforms. This work aims to bring together a cross-disciplinary core of contributors to address the technical and business issues of cross-media publishing and service delivery. The volume is based on papers presented at the conference on Cross-Media Service Delivery-CMSD-2003 that took place in Santorini, Greece in May 2003. Each contribution was reviewed by at least two reviewers-typically three. From the 30 papers that were submitted 20 were selected for presentation at the conference. Those were further 'shepherded' by programme committee members to be improved according to the review suggestions.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The need for this book arose from my teaching, engineering, and - search experience in the non-power aspects of nuclear technology. The lack of a comprehensive textbook in industrial applications of radiation frustrated my students, who had to resort to a multitude of textbooks and research publications to familiarize themselves with the fundam- tal and practical aspects of radiation technology. As an engineer, I had to acquire the design aspects of radiation devices by trial-and-error, and often by accidental reading of a precious publication. As a researcher and a supervisor of graduate students, I found that the needed literature was either hard to find, or too scattered and diverse. More than once, I discovered that what appeared to be an exciting new idea was an old concept that was tried a few decades earlier during the golden era of 'Atom for Peace'. I am hoping, therefore, that this book will serve as a single comprehensive reference source in a growing field that I expect will continue to expand. This book is directed to both neophytes and experts, and is written to combine the old and the new, the basic and the advanced, the simple and the complex. It is anticipated that this book will be of help in - viving older concepts, improving and expanding existing techniques and promoting the development of new ones.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Authoritative researchers and clinicians review our latest understanding of andrology in both basic science and clinical medicine. Topics range from explaining the biology of androgens-from several different perspectives-to illuminating their role in the development and modulation of physiologic systems. Authors demonstrate in a number of cases that testosterone can be a useful adjunct to the treatment of a variety of disease states. Other chapters consider important topics such as androgens use in athletes, the potential of androgens to improve physical function and quality of life in older men, and androgens as potential male contraceptives. In recent years, medical researchers have demonstrated that androgens, both naturally occurring and synthetic, influence a myriad of physiological functions and can also be used therapeutically in a wide variety of clinical settings. In Androgens in Health and Disease, an authoritative panel of researchers and clinicians review our latest understanding of andrology in both basic science and clinical medicine. Topics range from explaining the biology of androgens-from several different perspectives-to illuminating their role in the development and modulation of physiologic systems. The authors demonstrate how testosterone can be a useful adjunct to the treatment of a variety of disease states, particularly those in which catabolism and loss of muscle mass occur. Other chapters consider important topics such as androgen use in athletes, the potential of androgens to improve physical function and quality of life in older men, and androgens as potential male contraceptives. Of special interest is a presentation of recent advances in understanding the physiological and clinical effects of androgen excess and androgen deficiency in women. Authoritative and wide-ranging, Androgens in Health and Disease offers both researchers and practicing clinicians a comprehensive survey of how, why, and where androgens exert their effects, as well as their therapeutic roles in a broad range of diseases.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Organizational Information Systems in the Context of Globalization exemplifies the role of social theory in approaching ICT utilization challenges in a globalization context. The debates raised on implementation, policy, organizations and organizing, and social dynamics, increase our awareness of the diversity of perspectives we need to delve into when framing the role of ICTs in the globalization agenda. The equal representation of managerial and non-managerial decision making contexts alerts us to the fact that ICTs should not be considered only as a corporate wealth creation prerogative. This book contains the selected proceedings of the Working Conference on Information Systems Perspectives and Challenges in the Context of Globalization, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Athens, Greece in June 2003.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Image Technology Design: A Perceptual Approach is an essential reference for both academic and professional researchers in the fields of image technology, image processing and coding, image display, and image quality. It bridges the gap between academic research on visual perception and image quality and applications of such research in the design of imaging systems. This book has been written from the point of view of an electrical engineer interested in the display, processing and coding of images, and frequently involved in applying knowledge from visual psychophysics, experimental psychology, statistics, etc., to the design of imaging systems. It focuses on the exchange of ideas between technical disciplines in image technology design (such as image display or printer design and image processing) and visual psychophysics. This is accomplished by the consistent use of a single mathematical approach (based on linear vector spaces) throughout. Known facts from color vision, image sampling and quantization are given a new formulation and, in some instances, a new interpretation.…

Hardcover. Condición: gut. Auflage: 1 (14. Mai 2003). Durch die Erkenntnisse der Molekularbiologie und der Zytogenetik haben sich die Diagnostik und die Therapie hämatologischer Neoplasien in den letzten Jahren entscheidend gewandelt. Ein großer Teil der Kinder mit Leukämien und Lymphomen kann heute geheilt werden. Leukämien und Lymphome treten überwiegend sporadisch auf. Bei einigen erblichen Erkrankungen, insbesondere bei Chromosomenbruch- und Immundefizienz-Syndromen, ist das Risiko für die Entwicklung von Leukämien und Lymphomen deutlich erhöht. Nach der Identifizierung der Krankheitsgene hat sich herausgestellt, daß sie auch in der Entwicklung sporadischer Leukämien und Lymphome eine Rolle spielen. Daher ist diesen erblichen Erkrankungen ein gesonderter Abschnitt gewidmet. Mit Hilfe molekularbiologischer und zytogenetischer Methoden ist es gelungen, grundlegende Mechanismen bei der malignen Transformation und Progression myeloischer und lymphatischer Zellen immer besser zu verstehen und eine große Zahl charakteristischer genetischer Veränderungen zu identifizieren. Die für das Verständnis der Biologie hämatologischer Neoplasien wichtigen Grundlagen sind in einem weiteren Abschnitt dargestellt. In zwei Abschnitten über sporadische Leukämien und Lymphome wird ein Überblick über den aktuellen Erkenntnisstand gegeben. Darin werden die wesentlich von neuen genetischen Erkenntnissen geprägten Vorstellungen über die Entstehung von Leukämien und Lymphomen zusammengefaßt und gezeigt, wie diese Erkrankungen heute auf der Grundlage ihrer genetischen Veränderungen klassifiziert und behandelt werden. Der vorliegende Band bietet eine umfassende Übersicht über hämatologische Neoplasien, ihre molekularmedizinischen Ursachen und deren Einfluss auf Diagnose und Therapie. Folgende Themenbereiche werden behandelt1. Hereditäre Erkrankungen mit erhöhtem Risiko für hämatologische Neoplasien 2. Molekularbiologie sporadischer hämatologischer Neoplasien 3.

Softcover. Condición: gut. Auflage: 1 (13. Mai 2003). Praxisorientierter und anschaulicher können krankengymnastische Verfahren nicht vermittelt werden; denn das Lehrbuch Massage ist gleichzeitig ein aufwändig illustrierter Bildatlas. Ergänzend zur Klassischen Massage werden die Verfahren Funktionsmassage und Querfriktion gezeigt, die sich in der Behandlung zielorientiert mit den Techniken der Klassischen Massage kombinieren lassen. Im Mittelpunkt des Buches steht die ausführliche Darstellung von Befundaufnahme und Behandlung des Patienten. Jeder Griff wird mit brillanten Farbfotos in mehreren Phasen dargestellt und kurz erläutert. Zusätzliche Techniken und Praxistipps ergänzen das Wissen. Ideal als - Lehrbuch für Schüler, die mit Spaß einen leichten Einstieg finden wollen und - Refresher im Berufsalltag Dr. med. Bernhard C. Kolster Nach Studium der Diplompädagogik (Lehramt Sport und Geographie) und Ausbildung zum Physiotherapeuten Studium der Humanbiologie und der Humanmedizin. Klinische Tätigkeit in den Bereichen Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe, Physikalische Medizin. 1996 Gründung des KVM-Verlages, Marburg. Autor zahlreicher Bücher auf dem Gebiet der Akupunktur und Physiotherapie. Kolsters Lehrbuch zur Massage ist vor allem einesleicht verständlich und auch gut für interessierte Laien geeignet. Die eigentliche Zielgruppe sind Physiotherapeuten. Daher wird auch auf Anamnese und Diagnose eingegangen, damit eine zielgerichtete Therapie erfolgen kann. Am Ende jedes Theorie-Abschnitts gibt es lehrbuchtypisch eine kurze Zusammenfassung und Fragen zur Selbstkontrolle. Im Theorie-Teil wird der Leser kurz in die lange Geschichte der Massage eingeführt. Dies ist zwar nicht wichtig für die Anwendung, aber dennoch interessant zu wissen. Als nächstes folgen Kapitel über die theoretischen Grundlagen zur Massage. Hier erklärt der Autor wie Haut, Muskeln und Sehnen aufgebaut sind. Im Kapitel 'Wirkprinzipien' erläutert er, wie und warum Massage funktioniert. Dabei wird unter anderem auf biochemische und psychogene Effekte eingegangen. Der Leser erfährt, bei welchen Problemen Massagen helfen können und bei welchen Erkrankungen keine Massagen durchgeführt werden sollen. Den Hauptteil des Buches bildet der Praxisteil. Hier finden sich Hinweise für eine möglichst ergonomische Behandlungsdurchführung und auf nötige sowie sinnvolle Hilfsmittel. Kolster geht auf verschiedene Massagetechniken ein, darunter Knetungen, Streichungen und Thermotherapie. Er gibt zudem wertvolle Hinweise, wie mit Problemen wie Körperbehaarung oder Hauterkrankungen umgegangen werden kann. Außerdem verweist er auf die Erfordernisse für eine möglichst gute Diagnose. Wichtig sind dabei unter anderem eine genaue Untersuchung und die Berücksichtigung von Fehlhaltungen. Danach geht Kolster ausführlich auf die Massage der verschiedenen Körperregionen, wie beispielsweise Rücken oder Beine, ein. Er erklärt sehr anschaulich wie die Voruntersuchung und dann die eigentliche Massage durchzuführen sind. Dabei werden sowohl die klassische Massage, als auch Querfriktionen und Funktionsmassagen behandelt. Die Durchführung wird auf zahlreichen Bildern demonstriert, die zudem durch erläuternde Texte ergänzt werden. Der Theorie-Teil richtet sich vorwiegend an (angehende) Physiotherapeuten und medizinisch Interessierte. Wer sich von verschiedenen medizinischen Fachausdrücken nicht abschrecken lässt, erfährt einiges über Anatomie beziehungsweise Physiologie des Menschen und die Funktionsweise von Massagen. Der Theorie-Teil muss jedoch nicht zwingend gelesen werden. Der Praxis-Teil zeigt in guten, erläuterten Bildern wie die Massagetechniken an verschiedenen Körperteilen durchzuführen sind. Sicher macht auch beim Massieren Übung den Meister, aber zum Üben benötigt man erst mal das nötige Know-how. Kolster vermittelt dieses und warnt gleichzeitig vor häufigen Fehlern. Für mich das Einsteiger und Lehrbuch für alle die Massagen erlernen möchten. Vor allem auch für die Personen die auf dem Wellnesssektor arbeiten wollen ein unverzichtbares Nachschlagewerk. Grundwissen über Körperhaltung, Massageliegenhöhe werden genauso angesprochen wie viele Massagegriffe. Leicht und schnell erlernbar. In meinen Einsteigerseminaren das Buch das ich zu Anatomiebüchern immer gerne weiterempfehle und die Bausteine sind worauf ich aufbaue. Ich habe mir das Buch "Massage" von Bernard Kolster gekauft, weil ich mir als Laie, der ab und an Massagen anwendet, Hintergrund- und methodisches Wissen dafür aneignen möchte. Kolsters Werk bietet dafür die richtigen Voraussetzungenvon der Erklärung, wie Muskeln funktionieren über die richtige Bearbeitung der Muskeln bei der Massage ist alles darin, was ich wissen wollte - besonders schön sind die Schaubilder zum Verlauf der Muskeln in den verschiedenen Körperregionen. Das einzige Manko des Buches liegt für mich darin, dass ich viele Anleitungen - ausgerechnet im praktischen Teil - nicht auf Anhieb verstehe. Denn die Beschreibung, wie die Hände den Muskel bearbeiten müssen, sind leider im medizinischen Fachwortschatz geschrieben. Allerdings ist das Problem mit Nachschlagen in Wikipedia ganz gut lösbar.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, academics have been called on for possible contributions to research relating to national (and possibly internat- nal) security. As one of the original founding mandates of the National Science Foundation, mid- to long-term national security research in the areas of inf- mation technologies, organizational studies, and security-related public policy is critically needed. In a way similar to how medical and biological research has faced signi cant information overload and yet also tremendous opportunities for new inno- tion, law enforcement, criminal analysis, and intelligence communities are facing the same challenge. We believe, similar to 'medical informatics' and 'bioinf- matics,' that there is a pressing need to develop the science of 'intelligence and security informatics' - the study of the use and development of advanced information technologies, systems, algorithms and databases for national se- rity related applications,through an integrated technological,organizational,and policy-based approach. We believe active 'intelligence and security informatics' research will help improve knowledge discovery and dissemination and enhance information s- ring and collaboration across law enforcement communities and among aca- mics, local, state, and federal agencies, and industry. Many existing computer and information science techniques need to be reexamined and adapted for - tional security applications. New insights from this unique domain could result in signi cant breakthroughs in new data mining, visualization, knowledge - nagement, and information security techniques and systems. 404 pp. Englisch.…
