In the third installment of the Hardy Boys series, brothers Frank and Joe Hardy gain entrance to an old mill but find themselves trapped in an underground tunnel as they try to unravel two mysterious cases.
Frank and Joe help prevent Ken Blake from getting killed in a cycling accident. The Hardy Boys learn that their friend Chet Morton was swindles when he made change for what turned out to be a counterfeit twenty dollar bill, something that the police later confirm is becoming more common in their town of Bayport. Later, Joe is awakened by a clattering sound and sees a mysterious figure bicycling away from the his home. While investigating the disturbance a note is found that reads, “Drop the case or else danger for you and your family.” The Hardy boys are not sure if this threat refers to the counterfeiting case that Frank and Joe are investigating or another case their detective dad, Fenton Hardy, is trying to solve, but they’re intent on finding out who’s threatening them. Can they stay alive and solve both cases before danger finds them?
Innovation networks are a major source for acquiring new information and knowledge and thus for supporting innovation processes. Despite the many theoretical and empirical contributions to the explanation of networks, many questions still remain open. For example: How can networks, if they do not emerge by their own, be initiated? How can fragmentation in innovation systems be overcome? And how can networking experience from market economies be transferred to the emerging economies of Central and Eastern Europe? By presenting a selection of papers which address innovation networking from theoretical and political viewpoints, the book aims at giving answers to these questions.
Malawi's recent education statistics show that a high percentage of pupils do not achieve their study goals and subsequently drop out of school. This study examines the underlying reasons, yet the main focus rests on the language of instruction. Learners in three different language areas in Malawi participated in a picture-based test to find out whether the development of problem-oriented logical thinking is influenced by the instruction in the mother tongue in early primary school. Answers are offered with the help of tests and observations during the tests, as well as interviews with teachers, parents, and decision makers.

Die Autoren charakterisieren die Entwicklung der ostdeutschen Industrieforschung nach 1990 und arbeiten die wachsenden Anforderungen an die Innovationstätigkeit heraus. Auf dieser Grundlage und unter Einbeziehung empirischer Untersuchungen zu Wettbewerbs- und Leistungsfähigkleit von innovativen Unternehmen, FuE-Dienstleistern, externen und institutionell geförderten Forschungseinrichtungen geben die Autoren sowohl Vorschläge für die Erhöhung der Wirksamkeit der industriellen Forschung und Entwicklung als auch Anregungen für Unterstützungsleistungen durch die Forschungs-, Technologie- und Innovationspolitik. Dabei greifen sie auf vergleichende Untersuchungen in westdeutschen Regionen zurück. Sie zeigen Entwicklungswege der Industrieforschung in den neuen Bundesländern und des deutschen Innovationssystems als Ganzes auf.
Innovationen tragen die Leistungs- und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Unternehmen und Volkswirtschaften. Aus dieser Sicht sind die Erwartungshaltungen für die Stär kung der wirtschaftlichen Leistungskraft besonders an solche Unternehmen hoch, die mit neuen Produkten und Verfahren neue Märkte erschließen und vorhandene Märkte behaupten. Diese Unternehmen zeichnen sich durch eine hohe FuE Intensität aus.
