Overview: Eine empirische Untersuchung am Beispiel deutscher Unternehmen mit Standorten in Mexiko.Die Arbeit in interkulturellen Teams wird im Zuge des Zusammenwachsens der Welt zu einem ?globalen Dorf“ immer mehr zur Regel. Mit Hilfe eines systemtheoretischen Modells, der ?Interkulturellen Personalen Systemtheorie“ (IPS), untersucht Sandra Boedeker interkulturelle, mexikanisch-deutsche Teams. Dabei analysiert die Autorin nicht nur das Individuum, sondern auch die Interaktion im Team, eingebettet in den Kontext des Unternehmens. Sie arbeitet die Problem- und Erfolgsfaktoren heraus und entwicke

Overview: The first published book focusing on stress physiology of horticultural crops.Provides a timely update on the recent progress on all aspects of plant‘s perception, signalling and adaptation to a varie.This book brings together recent advances in the area of abiotic stress tolerance in various vegetables, fruit crops, plantation crops and tuber crops. The main challenges to improving the productivity of horticultural crops are the different types of abiotic stresses generally caused by climate change at the regional and global level. Heat, drought, cold and salinity are the major abio

Overview: This paper describes the results of current research at DREA in which techniques of optimum array processing are being applied to active sonar. We are presenting these results at the Advanced Study Institute in order to illustrate some actual applications for such processing and to point out some of the practical considerations which arise in real systems. In particular, the paper concerns the problems which arise when the individual sensor elements have a complicated directivity pattern themselves. This is a common phenomenon in active systems where the receiving sensors are complex

Overview: Offers a distinctive emphasis on ‘interplay’ between the philosophical contradictions of contemporaneous U.S. statecraft and the films analysed, differing from the hyper-partisan interpretations conve.This book contends that Hollywood films help illuminate the incongruities of various periods in American diplomacy. From the war film .Bataan .to the Revisionist Western .The Wild Bunch., cinema has long reflected US foreign policy’s divisiveness both directly and allegorically. Beginning with the 1990s presidential drama .The American President. and concluding with .Joker’s .allegorica

Overview: Presents the full range of application of nano-optic methods to studies in physics, chemistry, materials science, biology and medicine.Making a clear distinction is made between nano- and micro-mechanical testing for physical reasons, this monograph describes the basics and applications of the supermicroscopies AFM and SNOM, and of the nanomechanical testing on rough and technical natural surfaces in the submicron range down to a lateral resolution of a few nm. New or improved instrumentation, new physical laws and unforeseen new applications in all branches of natural sciences (arou

Overview: This book had its conception in 1975in a friendly tavern near the School of Businessand PublicAdministration at the UniversityofMissouri-Columbia. Two of the authors (Fomby and Hill) were graduate students of the third (Johnson), and were (and are) concerned about teaching econometrics effectively at the graduate level. We decided then to write a book to serve as a comprehensive text for graduate econometrics. Generally, the material included in the bookand itsorganization have been governed by the question, " Howcould the subject be best presented in a graduate class?" For content,

Overview: Dieses einleitende "Vorwort" ist irreführend: Wie wohl fast immer wird es zuletzt geschrieben und steht dem Buch doch voran. Ich blicke aber eher zurück, und so w?re "Nachwort" besser geeignet. Wie ist es nun, nachdem das Manuskript geschrieben ist? Ich denke, der eine nimmt sich viel in seinem Leben vor, der andere weniger. Als ich mir vornahm, ein Buch über Molekülphysik zu schreiben, dachte ich, es sei m?glich. Inzwischen hat sich gezeigt, da? es eine wohl unl?sbare Aufgabe ist, zumindest für mich. Ein Kapitel über den Aufbau von Molekülen zu Papier zu bringen, macht keine oder nu

Overview: The recent developement of high power lasers, delivering femtosecond pulses of 20 2 intensities up to 10 W/cm , has led to the discovery of new phenomena in laser interactions with matter. At these enormous laser intensities, atoms, and molecules are exposed to extreme conditions and new phenomena occur, such as the very rapid multi photon ionization of atomic systems, the emission by these systems of very high order harmonics of the exciting laser light, the Coulomb explosion of molecules, and the acceleration of electrons close to the velocity of light. These phenomena generate new

This study analyses the history of puppet, mask, and performing object theatre in the United States over the past 150 years to understand how a peculiarly American mixture of global cultures, commercial theatre, modern-art idealism, and mechanical innovation reinvented the ancient art of puppetry.978-1-137-28670-3978-0-230-61376-8Series ISSN 2947-5767 Series E-ISSN 2947-5775

Overview: Written by expert panel of endocrinologists.Reflects much of the curriculum for clinical endocrine training recommended by the Association of Program Directors in Clinical Endocrinology.Thought-provokIn December 2005 I changed my mind [1]. Up until that time I had put my name on one case history in 400 publications [2]. I changed my mind and realized that reading case histories could be a good learning exercise. I had previously considered useful case histories to be essentially live case demonstrations. Indeed, I had persuaded years of endocrine clinical fellows that writing case hi

Overview: The first critical commentary on this important essay.Anyone interested in the currently much discussed end of art should read this book.Does art still matter? This book makes a convincing case that i.In recent years there has been a great deal of talk about a possible death of art. As the title of Heidegger’s “The Origin of the Work of Art” suggests, the essay challenges such talk, just as it in turn is challenged by such talk, talk that is supported by the current state of the art-world. It was Hegel, who most profoundly argued that the shape of our modern world no longer permits u
