Chinese Railways
Although huge, Chinese Railways are a bottleneck for economic growth in China. The state-owned enterprise returns a small profit but is severely capacity constrained and burdened with inefficiency. Based on interviews with Chinese experts, benchmarking with railways in the US, Germany, Russia, and Japan as well as broad coverage of Chinese-language sources, the book makes detailed recommendations on how to design a comprehensive turnaround program for Chinese Railways.
Railroads and the Transformation of China
As a vehicle to convey both the history of modern China and the complex forces still driving the nation’s economic success, rail has no equal. Railroads and the Transformation of China is the first comprehensive history, in any language, of railroad operation from the last decades of the Qing Empire to the present. China’s first fractured lines were built under semicolonial conditions by competing foreign investors. The national system that began taking shape in the 1910s suffered all the ills of the country at large: warlordism and Japanese invasion, Chinese partisan sabotage, the Great Leap Forward when lines suffered in the “battle for steel,” and the Cultural Revolution, during w...

Silicon Rheinland
Berlin gilt als Zentrum der deutschen Start-up-Szene. Nirgendwo in Deutschland wird so viel gegründet. Was die meisten jedoch nicht wissen: Überdurchschnittlich viele Gründer kommen ursprünglich aus dem Rheinland. Europas größter Modehändler Zalando sowie Rocket Internet, GetYourGuide oder der Kochboxen-Versender HelloFresh – sie alle wurden von Rheinländern gegründet. Darüber hinaus stammen viele Investoren wie Klaus Hommels oder Frank Thelen ebenfalls aus dem Rheinland. Florian Rinke deckt in seinem Buch auf, wie viel Rheinland eigentlich in Berlin, ja sogar in der gesamten deutschen Gründerszene steckt. Er enthüllt, warum so viele Gründer von dort kommen – und wie ihnen ihre Herkunft beim Aufbau der Start-ups geholfen hat.
Gentechnik geht uns alle an!
Das Buch gibt nach einer kurzen und gut verständlichen Einführung in die Grundlagen der Genetik eine Übersicht über die derzeit wichtigsten praktischen Anwendungsbereiche der Gentechnik. Eine Technik, die uns allen in den verschiedensten Lebensbereichen begegnet. Sei es in der Landwirtschaft und bei der Ernährung oder in den verschiedenen medizinischen Anwendungen. Dabei werden die biologischen Grundlagen der gentechnischen Anwendungen unkompliziert erklärt und die ökologischen, medizinischen, sozialen und ethischen Folgen kritisch hinterfragt. Haben wir bereits gentechnisch veränderte Nahrungsmittel auf unserem Teller? Haben wir es noch selbst in der Hand, ob wir gentechnisch veränderte Nahrungsmittel essen oder nicht? Werden wir bereits mit gentechnisch hergestellten Medikamenten behandelt? Diese und andere Fragen werden in diesem Buch verständlich und umfangreich beantwortet.
Über Gentechnik und Klone
Das Buch soll eine Übersicht über die derzeit wichtigsten praktischen Anwendungsbereiche der Gentechnik geben. Hauptthemen sind die Bereiche Ernährung und Medizin. Nach einer Schilderung der Fakten - welche Manipulationen werden eingesetzt, welche Ziele haben sie – werden daraus erwachsende oder zu erwartende Probleme und Risiken geschildert. Der Problem- und Gefahrenbereich ist in der Landwirtschaft sehr groß. Es geht um biologische und gesundheitliche Aspekte, aber auch soziale Probleme und ethische Bedenken. In der Medizin, wo die Gentechnik akzeptiert ist, sieht man beim genaueren Hinsehen diverse Probleme, allerdings mehr im sozialen, persönlichen und ethischen Bereich. Das urspr...
Gunshot Wounds in Parenchymatous Organs: the Morphology Mainly Depends on the Physical Properties of the Affected Tissues*
Abstract: In contrast to gunshot wounds in skin and bone, the medico-legal literature pays little attention to the appearance of bullet penetration sites in abdominal organs. It was only in 1983 that Metter and Schulz published an article entitled "Morphological features of gunshot wounds in the liver and spleen." According to their observations, the organs in question showed stellate tears at the bullet penetration sites resembling skin wounds from contact shots to body regions having a bony support. The study presented simulated the real conditions by means of test shots to composite models consisting of porcine organs embedded in ballistic gelatin. The ammunition used was pistol cartridge...
Glocalized Solutions for Sustainability in Manufacturing
The 18th CIRP International Conference on Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) 2011 continues a long tradition of scientific meetings focusing on the exchange of industrial and academic knowledge and experiences in life cycle assessment, product development, sustainable manufacturing and end-of-life-management. The theme “Glocalized Solutions for Sustainability in Manufacturing” addresses the need for engineers to develop solutions which have the potential to address global challenges by providing products, services and processes taking into account local capabilities and constraints to achieve an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable society in a global perspective. Glocalized ...
Functional Thinking for Value Creation
After the IPS2 conferences in Cranfield and Linköping in 2009 and 2010 the 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems (IPS2) 2011 takes place in Braunschweig, Germany. IPS2 itself is defined as “an integrated industrial product and service offering that delivers value in use”. The customers expect comprehensive solutions, which are adapted to their individual needs. IPS2 offers the possibility to stand out from competition and for long-term customer loyalty. Particularly in times of economic crisis it becomes apparent which producing companies understand to satisfy the needs and requirements of their customers. Especially in this relatively new domain IPS2 it will be important to keep track of the whole context and to seek cooperation with other research fields and disciplines. The 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems (IPS2) 2011 serves as a platform for such collaborations and the discussion of new scientific ideas.
