The development and application of multivariate statisticaltechniques in process monitoring has gained substantial interestover the past two decades in academia and industry alike. Initially developed for monitoring and fault diagnosis in complexsystems, such techniques have been refined and applied in variousengineering areas, for example mechanical and manufacturing,chemical, electrical and electronic, and power engineering. The recipe for the tremendous interest in multivariate statisticaltechniques lies in its simplicity and adaptability for developingmonitoring applications. In contrast, competitive model,signal or knowledge based techniques showed their potential onlywhenever cost-bene...
In its Annual Report 2003/2004, the German Council of Economic Experts launched a dual income tax as an option for a fundamental tax reform in Germany. In February 2005, the German government appointed the Council to prepare a detailed report on economic effects of a business tax reform, with special emphasis on a dual income tax. With regard to the latter, conceptual problems of tax law and of tax administration were to be addressed as well as possible transitional problems when implementing a dual income tax. This book presents an English version of the original report completed in April 2006.
Given their key position in the process control industry, process monitoring techniques have been extensively investigated by industrial practitioners and academic control researchers. Multivariate statistical process control (MSPC) is one of the most popular data-based methods for process monitoring and is widely used in various industrial areas. Effective routines for process monitoring can help operators run industrial processes efficiently at the same time as maintaining high product quality. Multivariate Statistical Process Control reviews the developments and improvements that have been made to MSPC over the last decade, and goes on to propose a series of new MSPC-based approaches for ...

Auf der einen Seite die "Lügenpresse", auf der anderen Seite konstruktiver Journalismus, der dringend aktive und kritische Unterstützer braucht – größer könnte das Spannungsfeld kaum sein. Mittendrin steckt der freie Journalist Jens Brehl aus Fulda. Mit Vorwürfen ist auch er in seiner täglichen Arbeit konfrontiert: "Den Medien kann man nicht mehr trauen." "Alles ist gekauft." "Du kannst doch überhaupt nicht frei arbeiten, weil es in Deutschland keine Pressefreiheit gibt." Wie berechtigt sind diese Vorbehalte? Kann Vertrauen zurückgewonnen werden? Wenn ja, wie kann das gelingen? Und spielen Medien in unserer Gesellschaft überhaupt noch eine tragende Rolle? Brehls konstruktive Krit...
Die Medien haben die Macht, einen gesellschaftlichen Konsens herzustellen, der den herrschenden wirtschaftlichen und politischen Interessen folgt - und nutzen sie. Diese Einflussnahme erfolgt jedoch keinesfalls durch verschwörerische Mächte im Hintergrund, sondern durch die ökonomischen Bedingungen der Medienlandschaft, die Chomsky und Herman schonungslos analysieren. Mit Manufacturing Consent legten sie ihr heute weltberühmtes Werk zur Medienkritik vor, das als der Klassiker zum Thema gilt - und nichts an Aktualität verloren hat. Die Autoren zeigen auf, auf welche Weise in den Medien Themen ausgewählt und besprochen werden, und machen so die Doppelmoral und die auf den Status quo ausgerichtete Voreingenommenheit sichtbar, die den Darstellungen der so viel gepriesenen "freien Presse" zugrunde liegen.
This volume contains the proceedings of the Ninth International Symposium on Cyclodextrins, held in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, May 31 - June 3, 1998. The papers collected represent a summary of the last two years' achievements in the application of cyclodextrins in such diverse fields as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, textiles, chromatography and environmental sciences. Highlights: Chiral selection of chemicals, nuclear waste management, cyclodextrins in nasal drug delivery, cyclodextrins in pulmonary drug delivery, cyclodextrins as pharmaceutical excipients, pharmacokinetics, stabilization of drugs by cyclodextrins, structural characterization of cyclodextrin complexes by nuclear magnetic resonance and molecular modeling, artificial receptors, large cyclodextrins, cyclodextrins as enzyme models, new cyclodextrin derivatives and potentials. Audience: This book will be of interest to researchers whose work involves biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, food and chemicals and chromatographic methods, as well as fundamental cyclodextrin research.
This book is the first volume of a two-volume edition based on the International Society for Information Studies Summit Vienna 2015 on 'The Information Society at the Crossroads. Response and Responsibility of the Sciences of Information' (see summit.is4is.org).The book represents a trans-disciplinary endeavor of the leading experts in the field of information studies posing the question for a better society, in which social and technological innovations help make information key to the flourishing of humanity and dispense with the bleak view of the dark side of information society.It is aimed at readers that conduct research into any aspect of information, information society and information technology, who develop or implement social or technological applications. It is also for those who have an interest in participating in setting the goals for sciences of information and social applications of technological achievements and scientific results.
