Overview: Die Qualit?t von integrativen Leistungserstellungsprozessen im Business-to-Business-Bereich wird in besonderer Weise auch durch die Mitwirkung des Kundenunternehmens bestimmt. Hieraus ergibt sich für den Anbieter ein hohes Ma? an Unsicherheit hinsichtlich der Qualit?t der Kundenintegration...Michael Klinkers analysiert die Eignung spezieller vertraglicher Vereinbarungen, sogenannter Quality Level Agreements, zur Reduzierung dieser Qualit?tsunsicherheit des Anbieters. Auf der Basis institutionen?konomischer Theorieans?tze und empirisch fundierter Einzelfallstudien erarbeitet der Autor

Overview: Pioneering quality of life research in China.Quality of life research in the life span.Quality of life research based on different research methods.Quality of life in people with economic disadvantage.The majority of studies on the quality of life have been conducted in Western contexts and are based on Western participants. Comparatively speaking, there are only a few studies that have been conducted in different Chinese contexts. Also, there are fewer QOL studies based on children and adolescents, or studies that examine the relationship between QOL and economic disadvantage. In ad

Overview: The first comprehensive monograph on this important new approach to quantum physics by one of the founders of the concept of stochastic limit in quantum theory..Includes supplementary material: Nowadays it is becoming clearer and clearer that, in the description of natural phenomena, the triadic scheme - microseopie, mesoscopic, macroscopic - is only a rough approximation and that there are many levels of description, probably an infinite hierarchy, in which the specific properties of a given level express some kind of cumulative or collective behaviour of properties or sys- tems cor

Overview: This book is an anthology of the results of research and development in database query processing during the past decade. The relational model of data provided tremendous impetus for research into query processing. Since a relational query does not specify access paths to the stored data, the database management system (DBMS) must provide an intelligent query-processing subsystem which will evaluate a number of potentially efficient strategies for processing the query and select the one that optimizes a given performance measure. The degree of sophistication of this subsystem, often

Overview: Complicates the life, writing, and theology of a mysterious but compelling medieval figure.Recasts the vitality of Rolle’s theological concerns and its influence on mystical thought during the period.This book examines three aspects of Rolle’s thinking used throughout this work: his ontology, phenomenology, and sound ecology. These facets of his work invoke both a way of understanding being in the world, an opening up of the body in queer ways to experience the divine, and a way to consider divine contemplation in terms of singing the body.?.Queering Richard Rolle. considers how Roll

Overview: The electron theory of solids has attracted great attention in recent years, mainly because of the numerous practical applications of semicon- ductors. However, all the reviews and monographs on this subject deal only with crystalline conductors. At present, mainly in the Soviet Union, experi- mental and theoretical investigations have been extended to liquid and solid amorphous conductors, and in particular to such semiconductors. However, all the work published so far in this field is in the form of separate papers scat- tered throughout various journals, and there has as yet been
