Overview: Focuses on membrane protein structure.The reviews presented here emphasize fundamental ideas and provide an entry to the diverse and complex literature.The four major sections deal with the general naStudies of receptors, ion channels, and other membrane proteins require a solid understanding of the structural principles of these important biomolecules. Membrane protein structure is, however, a very challenging field. The structures of only three types of transmembrane proteins have been determined to moderate or high resolution during the last two decades, a period during which the

Overview: Focuses on crisis management in software production.Identifies the primary reasons for the software crisis.Analyses the so-called “human factor errors” resulting from crisis conditions, and the non-sy.This book discusses smart, agile software development methods and their applications for enterprise crisis management, presenting a systematic approach that promotes agility and crisis management in software engineering. The key finding is that these crises are caused by both technology-based and human-related factors. Being mission-critical, human-related issues are often neglected. To

Overview: This book brings together a collection of essays which look creatively and imaginatively at issues of research methods and methodology in sociology. Some papers critically revisit and redefine techniques such as the classic community study, the use of diaries, photography and art, others examine the need for reflexivity in the research process and the epistemological issues arising from being a researcher in administrative and political contexts. The diversity of research approaches discussed in this reader should make it an important contribution to research methods teaching for und

Overview: Vergleicht man die Erstellung, Nutzung und Wartung einer Maschine mit denselben Aktivit?ten für Software, so bestehen in vielen Punkten Gemeinsamkeiten und in einigen Punkten Unterschiede. So dürfen im Gegensatz zur Maschinenwartung bei der SW-Wartung i.d.R. keine Ausfallzeiten entstehen. W?hrend Wartung im industriellen Bereich eine Erhaltung des Leistungsverm?gens von Maschinen bedeutet, kann SW-Wartung unterschiedliche Motive haben (vgl. hierzu Abschn. 3.2). Die Publikationen, die sich mit methodischen, organisatorischen und technischen Aspekten der Software befassen, beschr?nken

Overview: Wirkung verbesserter Licht- und Sichtbedingungen auf das FahrerverhaltenBewirken bessere Lichtverh?ltnisse bei Dunkelheit in jedem Fall eine Erh?hung derSicherheit im Stra?enverkehr? Ver?ndern Autofahrer ihr Fahrverhalten, wenn sie verbesserte Licht- und Sichtbedingungen wahrnehmen? K?nnen die positiven Sicherheitswirkungen einer besseren Beleuchtung durch solche Verhaltensadaptationen verringert oder aufgezehrt werden? Die Autoren fassen den ?state of the art“ zum Fahrerverhalten bei unterschiedlichen Licht- und Sichtbedingungen zusammen. Sie analysieren physikalische, physiologisch

Overview: Um im weltweiten Wettbewerb zu bestehen, ist eine kostenminimale Fertigung unter Berücksichtigung der bestehenden Restriktionen notwendig; denn gr??tm?gliche Produktivit?t ist die Voraussetzung für den Gesch?ftserfolg.Kai-Oliver Schocke entwickelt ein neues L?sungsverfahren für mehrstufige Flie?fertigungen und testet diese Tabu Search-Variante anhand von Benchmarks. Der Autor übertr?gt das Verfahren auf die Modellierung einer Fertigungsst?tte und bindet es in einen Fertigungsleitstand ein. Seit der Einführung der rechnergestützten Planung in der Produktionsst?tte l?sst sich eine erhe

Overview: The first complete and authoritative introduction to the young and fascinating science of Archaeoastronomy.Explores the ancients’ motives in constructing such grandiose buildings as the city of Teotih.The book is divided into two parts. In the first, the reader is taken on an ideal ‘world tour’ of many wonderful and enigmatic places in almost every continent, in search of traces of astronomical knowledge and lore of the sky. In the second part, Giulio Magli uses the elements presented in the tour to show that the fundamental idea which led to the construction of the astronomically-re

Overview: Comparing differences in migrant political participation, the author discusses the influence that institutions have on opportunities and constraints for migrants‘ political engagement. The book adopts a multi-country comparative approach, highlighting three areas where institutions influence the scope for migrant actors in Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Germany and the UK: - Strategies adopted by organized migrant interests in response to specific political structures - The role of identity and its relevance in explaining varying political participation - Institutional effects on t

Overview: .One of the main trends of microelectronics is toward design for integrated systems, i.e., system-on-a-chip (SoC) or system-on-silicon (SoS). Due to this development, design techniques for mixed-signal circuits become more important than before. Among other devices, analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters are the two bridges between the analog and the digital worlds. Besides, low-power design technique is one of the main issues for embedded systems, especially for hand-held applications...Modular Low-Power, High-Speed CMOS Analog-to-Digital Converter for Embedded Systems.
