Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Recently much attention has been devoted to the optimization of transportation networks in a given geographic area. One assumes the distributions of population and of services/workplaces (i.e. the network‘s sources and sinks) are known, as well as the costs of movement with/without the network, and the cost of constructing/maintaining it. Both the long-term optimization and the short-term, "who goes where," optimization are considered. These models can also be adapted for the optimization of other types of networks, such as telecommunications, pipeli

Overview: Proceedings of the 22.nd. Course of the InternationalSchool of Quantum Electronics, held 27 November-2 December1997, in Erice, Italy. .In recent years, fiber optical sensors and optical microsystems haveassumed a significant role in sensing and measurement of many kinds.These optical techniques are utilised in a wide range of fields,including biomedicine, environmental sensing, mechanical andindustrial measurement, and art preservation.

Overview: This fourth volume in the series ‘Physics and Chemistry of Materials with Layered Structures‘ is concerned with providing a critical review of the significant optical and electrical properties by established authors who have themselves made many significant contributions to these fields. Research into these materials has recently gained a new impetus and their fascinating properties have attracted many new research workers. These people should find much of value in the reviews contained in this volume and the editor is very much indebted for the painstaking and hard work put into the

Overview: In the last decade, changes in the scale of operations required to find and transport oil have led to a pollution problem of major proportions: oil on the sea. These changes occurred slowly, and the change in magnitude of the possi- bilities for . pollution went unrecognized until a series of dramatic accidents recently gave the problem wide-spread public notice. The Torrey Canyon and Santa Barbara episodes are discussed in this volume. The changes in the scale of oil operations stem from an ever increasing demand for energy. In response to this demand, oil drilling from offshore rig

Overview: Provides a concise overview of organ tissue engineering.Analyzes the current state, issues, and key challenges.Details desired outcomes with a focus on functional readouts.The notion of being able to engineer complete organs has inspired an entire generation of researchers. While recent years have brought significant progress in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, the immense challenges encountered when trying to engineer an entire organ have to be acknowledged. Despite a good understanding of cell phenotypes, cellular niches and cell-to-biomaterial interactions, the format

Overview: Provides a detailed description of the various steps of the method, including analysis, optimality, and numerical simulation (for non-experts).Offers an excellent point of departure for further resear.This book provides a comprehensive guide to analyzing and solving optimal design problems in continuous?media by means of the so-called sub-relaxation method. Though the underlying ideas are borrowed from other,?more classical approaches, here they are used and organized in a novel way, yielding a distinct perspective on how to approach this kind of optimization problems.?Starting with

Overview: Mit dem vorliegenden Band wollen wir ein bereits klassisch gewordenes Werk dem deutschen Sprachgebiet zug?nglich machen. Das Buch bietet eine Zusammenfassung der bedeutendsten Literatur über Organisationen und versucht einen überblick über die verschiedenen Organisationstheorien zu geben. Die Autoren übernehmen es, diese Theorien, ihre Bedeurung und ihren Zweck darzulegen und liefern dabei eine eigene Interpretation der grundlegenden Theorien des menschlichen Verhaltens in Organi- sationen. Das Buch l??t sich in drei Hauptteile gliedern. Ausgangspunkt bildet die Betrachtung des Indi-

Overview: Ein wesentliches Merkmal der deutschen Sprache ist ihre Kompositionsfreudigkeit. Für Menschen mit Leseeinschr?nkungen sind komplexe W?rter jedoch problematisch. In Leichter Sprache werden sie deshalb optisch gegliedert. Doch tragen die derzeit g?ngigen Gliederungsm?glichkeiten wirklich zur besseren Verst?ndlichkeit der W?rter bei? Silvana Deilen vergleicht die verschiedenen Gliederungsm?glichkeiten mittels Blickbewegungsstudien. Neben den durch Eye-Tracking gemessenen Phasen der kognitiven Verarbeitungsprozesse berücksichtigt sie dabei auch die unterschiedlichen Lesekompetenzen und k
