Overview: This Topics volume is devoted to a study of sound propagation in the ocean. The effect of the interior of the ocean on underwater sound is analogous to the effect of a lens on light. The oceanic lens is related, as in light propagation, to the index of refraction of the medium. The latter is giv~n by the ratio of the sound frequency to the speed of sound in water, typi ca lly about 1500 m s -1. It is the vari- ation of the sound speed due to changing temperature, density, salinity, and pres- sure in the complex ocean environment which creates the lens effect. Many oceanic processes s

Overview: In einer abstrakten Betrachtungsweise sind Unternehmen offene arbeitsteilige soz- technische Systeme, deren Existenz durch die effiziente Allokation von Verfügungsrechten erkl?rt werden kann. Konkreter positionieren und behaupten Unternehmen sich im Wettbewerb dadurch, dass sie auf der Grundlage ihrer Leistungspotenziale marktf?hige Güter oder Dienstleistungen anbieten. Die Leistungspotenziale werden dabei über Ressourcen des Unternehmens definiert. Wenn sich die marktlichen, technischen oder sozialen Rahmenbed- gungen ?ndern, müssen die Unternehmen sich sowohl hinsichtlich ihrer Abs

Overview: .Oversampled Delta-Sigma Modulators: Analysis, Applications, and Novel Topologies. presents theorems and their mathematical proofs for the exact analysis of the quantization noise in delta-sigma modulators. Extensive mathematical equations are included throughout the book to analyze both single-stage and multi-stage architectures. It has been proved that appropriately set initial conditions generate tone free output, provided that the modulator order is at least three. These results are applied to the design of a Fractional-N PLL frequency synthesizer to produce spurious free RF wave

Overview: Presents an overview of the historical significance of original nation peoples and its political struggles in preserving local sovereignty.Offers progressive scholars and political activists practicalThis book introduces the Original Nation scholarship to examine the historical genealogy of the nation’s struggles against the state. A fundamentally different portrait of history, geography, politics, and the role of law emerges when the perspective of the nation and peoples is placed at the center of geopolitical analysis of global affairs. In contrast to traditional and canonical stat

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anf?ngen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-662-38762-7978-3-662-39655-1

Overview: At the outset of the 1980‘s NATO decided to extend the scien- tific program of its Scientific Affairs Division to include the social sciences. Strategic and international studies were in- cluded within this domain with the express purpose of facilitating communication among experts and research centers in member coun- tries as well as in the Organization itself on these important topics. This study is the result of the first Advanced Research Workshop on a subject of international relations. It focuses on the historical and theoretical aspects of geopolitics because they must necessa

Overview: Suitable for a broad readership, from popular science to graduate research.Presents a comprehensive account on sustainable future of Earth‘s natural resources.Individual chapters contributed by variou.On a Sustainable Future of the Earth’s Natural Resources is divided into three sections, with individual chapters contributed by experts on diff erent facets of the earth sciences, natural resources management and related issues. The first section focuses on the status of Earth’s resources; land, water, biota and atmosphere. Reviews on the rate of exploitation and the need to conserve t

Overview: Makes maximum use of figures and schemes and a minimum of verbal explanations.Provides important information which is not described in academic papers.Avoids mathematicization to the utmost possible iThis book displays how optical (absorption, emission, and magnetic circular dichroism) spectra of phthalocyanines and related macrocyclic dyes can be varied from their prototypical ones depending on conditions. As these compounds can be involved in colorful chemistry (which might be driven by impurities in solvents), their spectra behave like the sea-god Proteus in their mutability. Ther

Overview: Zwischen einem erfolgreichen Qualit?tsmanagement, der betrieblichen Organisation und der Mitarbeiterqualifikation besteht ein enger Zusammenhang. Hier greifen die Autoren an und gehen drei zentralen Fragestellungen nach: - Welche organisatorischen und personellen Gestaltungsma?nahmen ergreifen Betriebe, um die Ziele eines umfassenden Qualit?tsmanagements zu realisieren? - Welche Probleme treten auf, welche Barrieren stehen einer Neuorientierung des Qualit?tsmanagements im Wege? - Welche Ansatzpunkte und Vorgehensweisen lassen sich zu deren überwindung aufzeigen?

Overview: This easy-to-read book gives the reader a new perspective on the concepts behind glaucoma, namely, Flammer’s concept of the role of ocular blood flow in glaucoma.Summarizes the knowledge based on Prof.It has been suspected since more than a century that disturbed ocular blood flow (OBF) may play a role in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Reduced OBF has been measured in glaucoma patients by numberless centres with different techniques in different tissues of the eye. And reduced OBF has been proven to be of prognostic value. Nevertheless the implementation of this knowledge into clinica

Overview: This book is devoted to an investigation of some important problems of mod- ern filtering theory concerned with systems of ‘a(chǎn)ny nature being able to per- ceive, store and process an information and apply it for control and regulation‘. (The above quotation is taken from the preface to [27]). Despite the fact that filtering theory is l‘a(chǎn)rgely worked out (and its major issues such as the Wiener-Kolmogorov theory of optimal filtering of stationary processes and Kalman-Bucy recursive filtering theory have become classical) a development of the theory is far from complete. A great deal of

Dante A/ighieri Wir befinden uns erst am Beginn einer gr?sseren und umfassen- Ausgangslage der werdenden Outsourcing-Welle. Zu Beginn des Outsourcing waren es vorwiegend IT -nahe Funktionen und Bereiche und mittlerweile sind es ganze Prozesse, die, teilweise losgel?st von der IT, ausgelagert werden. Aus diesem Grunde habe ich, zu- sammen mit meinen Co-Autoren, unsere Erfahrungen, Ideen und Vorschl?ge in diese
