Overview: The only existing volume that brings together papers describing a wide range of alternative methods of constructing qualitative indicators of labour standards.Provides a unique comparative critique of.Recent years have witnessed a rapidly growing interest in the use and construction of "qualitative" indicators of labour standards...Qualitative indicators, while generally having numerical values, are based on such methods as grading by experts, the coding of legislation, and the coding of other textual sources addressing violations of a more de facto nature. Measuring compliance with

Overview: The second International Symposium on Quantum Fluids and Solids came to pass during 23-27 Jan. 1977 as the fourth and con- cluding part of the seventeenth consecutive running of the Sanibel Symposium Series. With approximately 120 participants from eleven countries (including, for the first time, the USSR), we found it easy to obtain a selection of papers which was fairly comprehen- sive. Indeed, our problem was an embarrassment of riches; in spite of our solemn vows not to crowd the schedule, we ended up with an intense program! By far, the majority of the papers pre- sented are rep

Overview: This book originates in a series of contributions to the 1983 Systems Science Seminar at the Computer Science Department of the German Armed Forces University Munich. Under the topic "Quantita- tive Approaches to Arms Control" that seminar attempted to review the present state-of-the-art of systems analysis and numerate meth- ods in arms control. To this end, the editors invited a number of experts from Europe, the United St~tes and Canada to share and dis- cuss their views and assessments with the faculty and upper class computer science students of the university as well as numerou

Historians have been addressing these questions since the book and television series exploded into a cultural phenomenon. For scholars of medieval and early modern women, they offer a unique vantage point from which to study the

Overview: A "Festschrift" volume fulfils a more far-reaching purpose than the laudatory one. It shows how science develops as a result of the activities - scientific and organizational - of an individual person. Scientific achievement cannot be subjected to the very refined measurement techniques of science itself, but there is a continuous mutual evaluation among scientists which manifests itself through refereeing, literature citation and dedicatory volumes like the present one. Near and distant associates of Per-Olov Lowdin were enthusiastic about the idea of a tribute to him in the form of

Overview: Includes supplementary material: Quasicrystals have been the object of intense research efforts for a good 16 years now. In recent years, this area of solid state physics and crystallogra- phy has grown into a mature field in its own right. Hence, several books on quasicrystals have appeared in the interim (see Appendix) and chapters on quasicrystals have been introduced into new books on solid state physics and l into new editions of existing monographs. However, most of the former have been written for scientists specialised in this field rather than for students, and the latter ad

Among the topics discussed are some interesting applications of low temperature experimental techniques to cardiology and astrophysics. We would like to express our particular appreciation to Mrs. Helga Billings and Miss Sara Lesser for their excellent typing of these Proceedings and to Mrs. Jacquelyn Zagursky, as well as to Mrs. Billings and Miss Lesser for their invaluable assistance with the details of the conference and the publi

Es ist zugleich Schlüssel für das grunds?tzliche Verst?ndnis anderer übergeordnet anzuwendender Managementaufgaben. Es sind vorwiegend nationale und internationale Normen, auf die sich branchenübergreifend das Gedankengeb?ude dieses noch jungen Wissengebiets stützt...Die seit 1986 dritte, erneut neu bearbeitete und erg?nzte Auflage hat zwei gro?e Teile beibehalten: Im ersten werden Grundlagen des Qualit?tsmanagements und im zweiten

Overview: Navigation ist eine der fundamentalsten Aufgaben eines natürlichen kognitiven Systems und wird selbst von einfachen Organismen auf der Basis minimaler r?umlicher Informationen und geringer Verarbeitungskapazit?t mit erstaunlicher Robustheit und Pr?zision gel?st. ..Thomas Wagner untersucht die grundlegende Frage, welche r?umlichen Informationen zur Navigation ben?tigt werden, w?hrend aktuelle klassische Ans?tze zur Navigation darauf fokussieren, ein Maximum an Informationen zu verarbeiten. Der Autor zeigt formal wie auch in der Simulation, dass bei geeigneter Modellierung bereits rein

Overview: Gives a careful review of existing views regarding key elements of the foundations of quantum theory.Explains quantum non-local property correlation and its relationship to causality and probability.S.This monograph identifies?the essential characteristics of the objects described by current quantum theory?and considers their relationship to space-time.?In the process, it explicates the senses in which quantum objects may be consistently considered to have parts of which they may be composed or into which they may be decomposed. The book also demonstrates the degree to which reductio

Overview: .Quantifiers: Logics, Models and Computation. is the firstconcentrated effort to give a systematic presentation of the mainresearch results on the subject, since the modern concept wasformulated in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s. The majority of the papersare in the nature of a handbook. All of them are self-contained, atvarious levels of difficulty. The Introduction surveys the main ideasand problems encountered in the logical investigation of quantifiers.The Prologue, written by Per Lindstr?m, presents the earlyhistory of the concept of generalised quantifiers. The volume thencontinu

Overview: Quantum computation may seem to be a topic for science fiction, but small quantum computers have existed for several years and larger machines are on the drawing table. These efforts have been fueled by a tantalizing property: while conventional computers employ a binary representation that allows computational power to scale linearly with resources at best, quantum computations employ quantum phenomena that can interact to allow computational power that is exponential in the number of "quantum bits" in the system. Quantum devices rely on the ability to control and manipulate binary

Overview: A unique interdisciplinary approach.Intersecting views on future trajectory of medical healing.Including concepts of complementary and alternative medicine.Discusses legal ramifications.Medical healing implies knowledge of the assumptions that underlie our understanding of "health," and, concomitantly, how we define well being and its opposites, illness and disease. Today, health, health care (business, wellness, recreation), and medicine (especially research-driven scientific medicine) have become separate entities with different institutions, budgets, marketing philosophies and "co

Overview: The development of "high-tech" materials in contemporary industries is deeply related to a detailed understanding of specific surface properties of catalysts which make particular reactions possible. But this understanding presupposes that there exists a body of theory capable of explaining situations not easily accessible to experimental methods and of relating experimental findings among themselves and with theoretical constructs. For these reasons, theoretical developments in surface physics and surface chemistry of transition metal compounds have been of paramount importance in p

Overview: Presents a novel quantitative approach, such as performance measures of supervisors to decision and control.Presents a an ideal combination of language-theoretic techniques with quantitative measures .Supervisory Control Theory (SCT) provides a tool to model and control human-engineered complex systems, such as computer networks, World Wide Web, identification and spread of malicious executables, and command, control, communication, and information systems. Although there are some excellent monographs and books on SCT to control and diagnose discrete-event systems, there is a need fo
