Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -L'integrazione del sistema di 'gestione per la Qualità', con la valutazione e il miglioramento delle specifiche competenze tecnico-professionali e col monitoraggio della Qualità dei percorsi diagnostici e terapeutici non è stato e non è impegno di poco conto: non a caso essi sono annoverati tra i punti di forza e gli obiettivi strategici anche del Piano Sanitario Nazionale 2003-2005 ('Garantire e monitorare la qualità delle cure e delle tecnologie sanitarie'). La disponibilità di materiali di significato formativo in tal senso è ancora assai scarsa nel nostro mondo specialistico. E cio', nonostante sia sempre più pressante la richiesta di strumenti formativi che consentano di trasferire al medico specialista la capacità di utilizzare al meglio i metodi e gli strumenti per l'identificazione, la gestione e la misura dei processi diagnostici, terapeutici e gestionali in Pneumologia, avendo come obiettivo il loro miglioramento continuo nel contesto dell'Azienda sanitaria. L'obiettivo didattico-formativo del presente volume è proprio orientato in tal senso e si propone di fungere da strumento utile per intraprendere in maniera semplice l'approccio e la gestione per processi in Pneumologia, rendendo cosi' più facile ed efficace la comunicazione con le Direzioni strategiche aziendali. Gli argomenti trattati sono di estrema attualità in tema di applicazione dei metodi e degli strumenti illustrati nei programmi di miglioramento per la Qualità. Cio' nel tentativo di incrementare le competenze specifiche dello specialista pneumologo, cosi' da renderlo interlocutore efficace e indipendente nei confronti delle Direzioni strategiche di riferimento. Con grande sensibilità la SIMeR (Società Italiana di Medicina Respiratoria) ha voluto patrocinare la presente edizione, a oggi l'unica in ambito pneumologico, i cui contenuti hanno preso origine dalle proposte e dal lavoro dei responsabili di uno dei suoi Gruppi di Studio di più recente istituzione,quello del 'Miglioramento Continuo della Qualità in Pneumologia'. 80 pp. Italienisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Space exploration has developed from early, unmanned space probes through the pioneering years of the ¿Manned¿ Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions, to missions that now include women in the crew as a matter of course. Dave Shayler tells the story of the first woman balloonist in 1784 to their breakthrough as astronauts and cosmonauts in a range of professional roles. He covers the contribution women have made to space exploration and draws on interviews with Shuttle and Mir crew members who were women. These interviews detail the achievements of the first female Shuttle commander and the first female resident crew member of the International Space Station. These and many other events are presented in a detailed and highly readable account that recalls the difficult path to space exploration by women.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 444 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Cosa si prova a non poter avere un figlio Quanto è difficile comunicare alla coppia una diagnosi di sterilità Come affrontare il 70% dei fallimenti delle tecniche di PMA Come una legge puo' incidere sul futuro di un embrione Il testo, nato dalla fusione multidisciplinare medica, psicologica e sociologica, vuole riflettere su queste domande e accompagnare il lettore in una nuova forma mentis sulle criticità nella fecondazione assistita. La trama scientifica si accompagna a un linguaggio diretto dove hanno un posto rilevante le emozioni, cosi' centrali in campi quali la ginecologia, la riproduzione e la psicologia dell'infertilità, che vanno al cuore del bisogno psico-sessuale più forte e arcaico: quello riproduttivo. Al centro del volume è la relazione medico-paziente che, nel campo dell'infertilità, è caratterizzata dall'attivazione di forti echi emotivi da parte di entrambi. Il volume, a tale riguardo, propone il protocollo SAHARAI che comprende due metodi inediti (il questionario e il nurse-ring) capaci di intervenire, rispettivamente, nella fase diagnostica e in quella terapeutica della fecondazione. I metodi e le riflessioni proposti sono volti alla riduzione dei disagi psicologici delle coppie e al riequilibrio del rapporto medico-paziente. Dal testo emerge forte una nuova idea di formazione per gli operatori dei centri di fecondazione assistita e un percorso di qualificazione per le nuove figure professionali (gli psicologi addetti alla PMA) in accordo con le nuove direttive della legge.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Certification and Security in Inter-Organizational E-Services presents the proceedings of CSES 2004 - the 2nd International Workshop on Certification and Security in Inter-Organizational E-Services held within IFIP WCC in August 2004 in Toulouse, France. Certification and security share a common technological basis in the reliable and efficient monitoring of executed and running processes; they likewise depend on the same fundamental organizational and economic principles. As the range of services managed and accessed through communication networks grows throughout society, and given the legal value that is often attached to data treated or exchanged, it is critical to be able to certify the network transactions and ensure that the integrity of the involved computer-based systems is maintained.This collection of papers documents several important developments, and offers real-life application experiences, research results and methodological proposals of direct interest to systems experts and users in governmental, industrial and academic communities.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 160 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The subject of this book is the solution of polynomial equations, that is, s- tems of (generally) non-linear algebraic equations. This study is at the heart of several areas of mathematics and its applications. It has provided the - tivation for advances in di erent branches of mathematics such as algebra, geometry, topology, and numerical analysis. In recent years, an explosive - velopment of algorithms and software has made it possible to solve many problems which had been intractable up to then and greatly expanded the areas of applications to include robotics, machine vision, signal processing, structural molecular biology, computer-aided design and geometric modelling, as well as certain areas of statistics, optimization and game theory, and b- logical networks. At the same time, symbolic computation has proved to be an invaluable tool for experimentation and conjecture in pure mathematics. As a consequence, the interest in e ective algebraic geometry and computer algebrahasextendedwellbeyonditsoriginalconstituencyofpureandapplied mathematicians and computer scientists, to encompass many other scientists and engineers. While the core of the subject remains algebraic geometry, it also calls upon many other aspects of mathematics and theoretical computer science, ranging from numerical methods, di erential equations and number theory to discrete geometry, combinatorics and complexity theory.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The concepts and theories of knowledge management and networks are meanwhile well documented. Yet there are few, if any, guidelines on how to implement knowledge management within an organization, especially focusing on how to manage knowledge in a network environment. This shows that managing knowledge in networks is a rather new and unexplored field. This book visualizes paths that allow one to make connections between theories, concepts and concrete actions. Knowledge networks are organizational forms within companies that connect key experts to share knowledge and therefore fulfil strategic goals. Managing knowledge in network environments is a fast-moving field attempting to integrate various disciplines such as human resources, organizational development, change management, strategy, information technology, sociology and network theory. This book shows how to integrate these different roots into a holistic view on managing knowledge in networks. It develops a methodology which will support the reader to move concrete steps forward towards building and maintaining knowledge networks in his organization.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 204 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The 7th International Conference on Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications (TLCA 2005) was held in Nara (Japan) from 21 to 23 April 2005, as part of the Joint Conference on Rewriting, Deduction and Programming (RDP 2005). This book contains the contributed papers, and extended abstracts of two invited talks, given by Thierry Coquand and Susumu Hayashi. A short abstract of the joint RDP invited lecture by Amy Felty is also included. The 27 contributed papers were selected from 61 submissions of generally very high quality, and the Program Committee had a hard time making the selection. The editor would like to thank everyone who submitted a paper and to express his regret that many interesting works could not be included. The editor also wishes to thank the invited speakers, the members of the Program and Organizing Committees, the Publicity Chair, and the referees for their joint e ort towards the success of the conference. The support from the Nara Convention Bureau is gratefully acknowledged. The typed lambda calculus continues to be an important tool in logic and theoretical computer science.

The present volume contributes to this tradition.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 452 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This volume contains the papers presented at the 10th Anniversary Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing. The workshop was held in New York City, on June 13, 2004, at Columbia University, in conjunction with the SIGMETRICS 2004 conference. Although it is a workshop, the papers were conference-reviewed, with the full versions being read and evaluated by at least five and usually seven members of the Program Committee. We refer to it as a workshop because of the very fast turnaround time, the intimate nature of the actual presentations, and the ability of the authors to revise their papers after getting feedback from workshop attendees. On the other hand, it was actually a conference in that the papers were accepted solely on their merits as decided upon by the Program Committee. We would like to thank the Program Committee members, Su-Hui Chiang, Walfredo Cirne, Allen Downey, Eitan Frachtenberg, Wolfgang Gentzsch, Allan Gottlieb, Moe Jette, Richard Lagerstrom, Virginia Lo, Reagan Moore, Bill Nitzberg, Mark Squillante, and John Towns, for an excellent job. Thanks are also due to the authors for their submissions, presentations, and final revisions for this volume. Finally, we would like to thank the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), The Hebrew University, and Columbia University for the use of their facilities in the preparation of the workshop and these proceedings. 332 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -It is always a special honor to chair the European Dependable Computing C- ference (EDCC). EDCC has become one of the well-established conferences in the eld of dependability in the European research area. Budapest was selected as the host of this conference due to its traditions in organizing international scienti c events and its traditional role of serving as a meeting point between East and West. EDCC-5 was the fth in the series of these high-quality scienti c conf- ences. In addition to the overall signi cance of such a pan-European event, this year¿s conference was a special one due to historic reasons. The roots of EDCC date back to the moment when the Iron Curtain fell. Originally, two groups of scientists from di erent European countries in Western and Eastern Europe ¿ who were active in research and education related to dependability created a ¿ joint forum in order to merge their communities as early as in 1989. This trend has continued up to today. This year¿s conference was the rst one where the overwhelming majority of the research groups belong to the family of European nations united in the European Union. During the past 16 years we observed that the same roots in all the professional, cultural and scienti c senses led to a seamless integration of these research communities previously separated ar- cially for a long time. EDCC has become one of the main European platforms to exchange new - searchideasinthe eldofdependability. 496 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Digital cities constitutes a multidisciplinary field of research and development, where researchers, designers and developers of communityware interact and collaborate with social scientists studying the use and effects of these kinds of infrastructures and systems in their local application context. The field is rather young. After the diffusion of ICT in the world of organizations and companies, ICT entered everyday life. And this also influenced ICT research and development. The 1998 Workshop on Communityware and Social Interaction in Kyoto was an early meeting in which this emerging field was discussed. After that, two subsequent Digital Cities workshops were organized in Kyoto, and a third one in Amsterdam. This book is the result of the 3rd Workshop on Digital Cities, which took place September 18¿19, 2003 in Amsterdam, in conjunction with the 1st Communities and Technologies Conference. Most of the papers were presented at this workshop, and were revised thoroughly afterwards. Also the case studies of digital cities in Asia, the US, and Europe, included in Part I, were direct offsprings of the Digital Cities Workshops. Together the papers in this volume give an interesting state-of-the-art overview of the field. In total 54 authors from the Americas, from Asia, and from Europe were contributed to this volume. The authors come from Brazil (two), the USA (eleven), China (three), Japan (fourteen), Finland (two), Germany (two), Italy (three), Portugal (two), the Netherlands (eight), and the UK (seven), indicating the international nature of the research field.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 456 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Ziel dieses Buches ist es, Managern Argumente und Entscheidungshilfen für die Einführung effizienter Techniken der Softwareentwi- lung zu geben, und Praktiker von der Notwendigkeit effizienter Softwaree- wicklung zu überzeugen und Wege zur erfolgreichen - wendung aufzuzeigen. Unter 'effizienter Softwareentwicklung' verstehen wir die - setzung von Anforderungen in 'qualitativ hochwertige' Software zu 'angemessenem' Preis innerhalb 'angemessener' Zeit. 'Qualitativ hochwertig' steht für fehlerfrei, zuverlässig, robust und voll den Anforderungen entsprechend. Unter 'angemessen' verstehen wir minimale Komplexität bei voller Abdeckung der - forderungen, bezahlbar und kurzfristig verfügbar. Im ersten Teil dieses Buches (Kap. 2 - 5) führen wir den Leser hin zum 'automatischen Softwareproduktionsprozess', durch P- sentation von Thesen und Analysen. Anleitungen und Beispiele folgen im zweiten Teil (Kap. 6 und 7). Wir schließen mit Betra- tungen zur gesellschaftspolitischen Relevanz einer Technologie, die auf Automation beruht (Kap. 8). Wie in anderen Bereichen, in denen Automation bereits an- wendet wird, haben automatische Softwareproduktionsprozesse Einfluss auf die Arbeitsplätze. Präziser ausgedrückt, es fallen - stimmte Arten von Arbeitsplätzen weg, während andere entstehen. Für Manager und Entwickler, aber auch Ausbilder, ist es wichtig, sich frühzeitig auf die Möglichkeiten und Folgen dieser Technologie einzustellen. Zur Zeit wird durch 'Outsourcing', 'Nearshoring' oder 'Offs- ring' versucht, die Softwareentwicklungskosten zu senken. 'Au- mation' in der Softwareentwicklung geht darüber hinaus. Nicht nur Kosten sinken, auch Entwicklungszeit und -risiken, die Flexibilität Vorwort VII erhöht sich, und Know-how muss nicht nach außenweitergegeben werden.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 544 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Complexity theory is the theory of determining the necessary resources for the solution of algorithmic problems and, therefore, the limits of what is possible with the available resources. An understanding of these limits prevents the search for non-existing efficient algorithms. This textbook considers randomization as a key concept and emphasizes the interplay between theory and practice:New branches of complexity theory continue to arise in response to new algorithmic concepts, and its results - such as the theory of NP-completeness - have influenced the development of all areas of computer science.The topics selected have implications for concrete applications, and the significance of complexity theory for today's computer science is stressed throughout.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 324 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Dizziness. Fatigue. Loss of appetite. Heightened sense of anxiety. Lack of concentration. Are these the presenting symptoms of your last patient in the neurology clinic Or, are these your own symptoms to the prospect of sitting for the neurology board exam Neurology Study Guide: Oral Board Examination Review will help alleviate your exam-related symptoms. Part of the challenge of the exam is due to its breadth and depth, covering, as it does, most of clinical neurology. The author has based her review on both practical advice on both clinical content and personal demeanor and attitude during the exam. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 is devoted to practical tips on the exam's structure, its etiquette and preparation. Particular emphasis is placed on reasons for failing the exam. Part 2 provides sample adult and pediatric vignettes, mirroring that part of the oral Board. Each vignette is presented in a format similar to the exam's format. Each case provides a differential diagnosis, most likely diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Where relevant, potential pitfalls, do's and don'ts, musts and shoulds and frequently asked questions, complement the case discussion.Armed with a good night's sleep, an adequate breakfast and Neurology Study Guide: Oral Board Examination Review the board examinations can be an engaging, challenging, and invigorating experience, rather than one to be dreaded.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Continued progress in Speech Technology in the face of ever-increasing demands on the performance levels of applications is a challenge to the whole speech and language science community. Robust recognition and understanding of spontaneous speech in varied environments, good comprehensibility and naturalness of expressive speech synthesis are goals that cannot be achieved without a change of paradigm. This book argues for interdisciplinary communication and cooperation in problem-solving in general, and discusses the interaction between speech and language engineering and phonetics in particular. With a number of reports on innovative speech technology research as well as more theoretical discussions, it addresses the practical, scientific and sometimes the philosophical problems that stand in the way of cross-disciplinary collaboration and illuminates some of the many possible ways forward.Audience: Researchers and professionals in speech technology and computational linguists.
