Neuware -Managing uncertainty in new product development projects for improved valuation and decision making is one of the most complex and challenging problems in operations management. It is important for any corporation depending on the success of new products and innovations. This work shows how uncertainty can be handled and partly resolved by conducting an information update during the development process. It is one of the first comprehensive models that combine statistical decision theory in form of Bayesian analysis with a real options framework for projects exposed to different sources of uncertainty. The proposed framework makes an important theoretical contribution in addressing this problem, while at the same time being of significant value to managers who face the difficult task of evaluating and managing complex product development projects.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 228 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Integration theory deals with extended real-valued, vector-valued, or operator-valued measures and functions. Different approaches are applied in each of these cases using different techniques. The order structure of the (extended) real number system is used for real-valued functions and measures whereas suprema and infima are replaced with topological limits in the vector-valued case.A novel approach employing more general structures, locally convex cones, which are natural generalizations of locally convex vector spaces, is introduced here. This setting allows developing a general theory of integration which simultaneously deals with all of the above-mentioned cases.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 372 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This volume contains two related, though independently written, mo- graphs. In Notes on Derived Functors and Grothendieck Duality the rst three chapters treat the basics of derived categories and functors, and of the rich formalism, over ringed spaces, of the derived functors, for unbounded com- plexes,ofthesheaffunctors ,Hom,f andf wheref isaringed-spacemap. Included are some enhancements, for concentrated (i.e., quasi-compact and quasi-separated) schemes, of classical results such as the projection and K¿ unneth isomorphisms. The fourth chapter presents the abstract foun- tions of Grothendieck Duality¿existence and tor-independent base change for the right adjoint of the derived functor Rf when f is a quasi-proper map of concentrated schemes, the twisted inverse image pseudofunctor for separated nite-type maps of noetherian schemes, re nements for maps of nite tor-dimension, and a brief discussion of dualizing complexes. In Equivariant Twisted Inverses the theory is extended to the context of diagrams of schemes, and in particular, to schemes with a group-scheme action. An equivariant version of the twisted inverse-image pseudofunctor is de ned, and equivariant versions of some of its important properties are proved, including Grothendieck duality for proper morphisms, and at base change. Also, equivariant dualizing complexes are dealt with. As an appli- tion,ageneralizedversionofWatanabe¿stheoremontheGorensteinproperty of rings of invariants is proved. More detailed overviews are given in the respective Introductions.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 496 pp. Englisch. …

Neuware -Devoted to novel optical measurement techniques that are applied in both industry and life sciences, this book offers a fresh perspective on the development of modern optical sensors. These sensors are often essential in detecting and controlling parameters that are critical for industrial and biomedical processes. The book provides an accessible entry for beginners who want to become familiar with the latest innovations in modern optics. Readers get an up-to-date overview on applications of optical sensors in materials science, nanotechnology, and optics.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 168 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -By now, most academics have heard something about the new science of complexity. In a manner reminiscent of Einstein and the last hundred years of physics, complexity science has captured the public imagination. ® One can go to Amazon. com and purchase books on complexification (Casti 1994), emergence (Holland 1998), small worlds (Barabási 2003), the web of life (Capra 1996), fuzzy thinking (Kosko 1993), global c- plexity (Urry 2003) and the business of long-tails (Anderson 2006). Even television has incorporated the topics of complexity science. Crime shows ® ® such as 24 or CSI typically feature investigators using the latest advances in computational modeling to ¿simulate scenarios¿ or ¿data mine¿ all p- sible suspects¿all of which is done before the crime takes place. The ® World Wide Web is another example. A simple search on Google. Com using the phrase ¿complexity science¿ gets close to a million hits! C- plexity science is ubiquitous. What most scholars do not realize, however, is the remarkable role sociologists are playing in this new science. C- sider the following examples. 0. 1 Sociologists in Complexity Science The first example comes from the new science of networks (Barabási 2003). By now, most readers are familiar with the phenomena known as six-degrees of separation¿the idea that, because most large networks are comprised of a significant number of non-random weak-ties, the nodes (e. g. , people, companies, etc.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 300 pp. Englisch. …

Neuware -The fact that tobacco ingestion can affect how people feel and think has been known for millennia, placing the plant among those used spiritually, honori cally, and habitually (Corti 1931; Wilbert 1987). However, the conclusion that nicotine - counted for many of these psychopharmacological effects did not emerge until the nineteenth century (Langley 1905). This was elegantly described by Lewin in 1931 as follows: ¿The decisive factor in the effects of tobacco, desired or undesired, is nicotine. . . ¿(Lewin 1998). The use of nicotine as a pharmacological probe to und- stand physiological functioning at the dawn of the twentieth century was a landmark in the birth of modern neuropharmacology (Limbird 2004; Halliwell 2007), and led the pioneering researcher John Langley to conclude that there must exist some ¿- ceptive substance¿ to explain the diverse actions of various substances, including nicotine, when applied to muscle tissue (Langley 1905). Research on tobacco and nicotine progressed throughout the twentieth century, but much of this was from a general pharmacological and toxicological rather than a psychopharmacological perspective (Larson et al. 1961). There was some attention to the effects related to addiction, such as euphoria (Johnston 1941), tolerance (Lewin 1931), and withdrawal (Finnegan et al. 1945), but outside of research supported by the tobacco industry, addiction and psychopharmacology were not major foci for research (Slade et al. 1995; Hurt and Robertson 1998; Henning eld et al. 2006; Henning eld and Hartel 1999; Larson et al. 1961).Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 560 pp. Englisch. …
