Professor David Danks explained in a public lecture revealingly titled, Double Helix, Double Joy, that 'Even from its infancy it was apparent that the double helix was going to change not only science, but also the community's image of science'. 'Double Joy' conveyed his sense that the developments cascading from Watson and Crick's initial DNA discovery would yield 'immense benefits' for people generally, and also for his own research ambitions. A double joy made concrete in the foundation of the Murdoch Institute for Research into Birth Defects where he could fully implement his vision of unfettered basic scientific research wedded to clinical practice and services to public health. Born in...

Australia’s development, from the most unpromising of beginnings as a British prison in 1788 to the prosperous liberal democracy of the present is as remarkable as is its success as a country of large-scale immigration. Since 1942 it has been a loyal ally of the United States and has demonstrated this loyalty by contributing troops to the war in Vietnam and by being part of the “coalition of the willing” in the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 and in operations in Afghanistan. In recent years, it has also been more willing to promote peace and democracy in its Pacific and Asian neighbors. This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Australia covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Australia.
Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Supply Chain Management (SCM) wird in dieser Arbeit als ein über das reine Management von Logistiknetzwerken hinausgehender Ansatz begriffen.

Orientiert an den Grundsätzen der Systemtheorie, insbesondere an System Dynamics untersucht der Autor anhand eines computergestützten Simulationsmodells die Wirkungen distinkter Supply Chain Management-Maßnahmen bei unterschiedlichen Umfeldbedingungen und iden...
Das Supply Chain Management stellt bereits seit einiger Zeit ein intensiv diskutiertes Thema sowohl in der betriebswirtschaftlichen Wissenschaft als auch in der unternehmerischen Praxis dar. Ein Verfahren, das dabei zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnt, ist das Supply Chain Operations Reference Model (SCOR-Modell) des Supply Chain Council. SCOR ist dabei, sich zu einem De facto-Standard zur Beschreibung und Analyse der Supply Chain zu entwickeln. Trotz der zunehmenden Verbreitung und Bedeutung der praktischen Anwendung sind jedoch bislang noch keine wissenschaftlichen Studien verfügbar, die das Modell und seine Struktur auf Gültigkeit hin untersucht haben. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird deshalb...
