Ziel dieses Buches ist die wirtschaftliche Situation, in der sich die Automobilkonzerne befinden, näher anzuschauen und Chancen und Risiken gegeneinander abzuwägen. Aufgrund der hohen Anzahl von Automobilherstellern und ihren unterschiedlich aufgestellten Markenportfolios konzentriert sich diese Ausarbeitung auf drei internationale Konzerne Ford, GM und Toyota. Es werden Herausforderungen und Probleme der Automobilindustrie ausführlich dargestellt und mögliche Auswege für Automobilkonzerne vorgestellt. Aufgrund der festen Aufteilung ...

Las ontologías se consideran una herramienta importante para estructurar la gran cantidad de información existente, especialmente en dominios como la biomedicina, en los que la adecuada organización y tratamiento de la información son aspectos críticos. En estos dominios, el número de ontologías disponibles ha crecido muy rápidamente durante los últimos años. Este hecho es muy positivo, pues permite un manejo más eficiente de la información, pero plantea un nuevo problema: ...

Several applications involve a transient stream of data which has to be modeled and analyzed continuously. Their continuous arrival in multiple, rapid, time-varying and possibly unpredictable and unbounded way make the analysis difficult and opens fundamentally new research problems. Examples of such data intensive applications include stock market, road traffic analysis, whether forecasting systems etc. Data Stream Management Systems are specifically designed for handling continuous data streams. They can handle multiple, time-varying, unpredictable and ...

Using qualitative research, this book investigates resiliency development in secondary school communities. The five participants in this research were all recently-graduated secondary school students who self-identified as "at-risk/resilient" and completed one-on-one interviews. The purpose of these interviews was to use graduate voices to identify how secondary schools are, or could be, promoting resiliency development. Emergent themes included the importance of a positive school culture, how one person can make a difference, and the importance of healthy ...

Indonesia has wide air space with many aircrafts flies every day. In order to manage its air traffic effectively and efficiently, Indonesia must have and utilize the Communication Navigation Surveillance- Air Traffic Management system. The system includes communication, navigation and surveillance systems and it uses digital technologies to support the air traffic management system. For the communication system, an Aeronautical Telecommunication Network (ATN) is used to provide the digital data link to supplement the voice communication. In ATN, the ...

The content of this book is consisted of four main matters. First the necessity of innovation adoption is discussed, particularly in the new millennium both in developed and developing countries. Then the concept and some important models regarding innovation adoptions are shown. The researches regarding the subject also are reviewed. The innovation dissemination theory is scanned as s the third part of the book by the authors. Finally a case study which has been down as an academic dissertation in an Iranian company is reported.

Although adhesively bonded lap joint has already been widely applied in structures, the strength prediction of the joint is still a challenge. Among many parameters which affect the failure load of the lap joint, the adhesive layer thickness is a very important one. In this book, fracture mechanics is used to analyze the failure mechanism of the lap joint and evaluate the thickness effect on strength of the lap joint. For brittle material, constant effective fracture toughness is proposed for better strength prediction by considering of the non- ...

Ensuring the needs of people who interact with a system during its design, development, and use are met is important to system success. Using distributed simulation as an example, a holistic usability framework is developed that considers ease of development, use, and maintenance. Adequate consideration of holistic usability will help ensure needs are met, increase productivity, lower costs, and increase user satisfaction. The holistic usability framework for distributed simulation systems is developed considering research in human-computer interaction, ...

In this study, the numerical phenetic method was applied on Coccinella undecimpunctata Linnaeus and its 13 aberrations. These aberrations were collected from 10 localities from Lower and Upper Egypt. The morphometric measures were used to obtain a phenogram representative of phenetic similarities and affinities among the all morphs. RAPD fingerprint profiles were generated by using five random primers on genomic DNA to characterize all the aberrations and to determine their phenetic relationships as well as to investigate the molecular markers among the ...
