New Directions for Operations Research in Manufacturing
Basically five problems areas are addressed by operations research specialists in the manufacturing domain: theore- tical and practical aspectsin production planning, facility layout, inventory control, tool management and scheduling. Some of these problems can be solved off-line, while others must be treated as real-time problems impacted by the changing state of the system. Additionally, all of these problems have to be dealt with in an integrated systems framework. Several new topics have recently appeared in the scientific literature which now attract the interest of operations researchers. These include distributed real-time scheduling, hierarchical and heterarchical control systems, in...

The Court of Arbitration for Sport and Its Jurisprudence
This book takes a close look at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), challenging existing claims and answering previously unanswered questions, by considering all of its publicly available decisions, both in its entirety as a body of jurisprudence and on a case-by-case level. It also investigates the actors involved in adjudication before the CAS, both the parties that bring disputes before the CAS and the arbitrators that resolve them, and in so doing establish precedents that govern sports generally. While the book relies upon and includes more traditional legal theory and analysis, it combines this with an empirical analysis of a large portion of the CAS's decisions. Hereby it relies upon and relates to the theory of the development of a transnational legal order in sports, the lex sportiva. The publication is targeted at and will benefit those professionally working in or interested in the fields of sports law, arbitration law, transnational law, or empirical legal studies. Johan Lindholm is a Professor of Law at Umeå University in Sweden.

Wirkung von Beleuchtungsstärke und spektraler Verteilung des Lichts auf die Aufmerksamkeit am Tag
Moderne LED- und Lichtmanagementtechnologien sowie wachsendes Wissen über nicht-visuelle Wirkungen von Licht ermöglichen zukünftig, mit dem richtigen Licht zur richtigen Zeit die oft suboptimalen Lernbedingen an Schulen oder Universitäten zu verbessern. Leider herrscht noch kein Konsens, was „richtig“ bedeutet. Unter dem Begriff nicht-visuelle Wirkungen versammeln sich eine Vielzahl an unterschiedlichen Wirkungen: z.B. die Unterdrückung des Hormons Melatonin, die Verbesserung der Aufmerksamkeit oder der Einfluss auf das Wohlbefinden. Die Wirkung von erhöhten Beleuchtungsstärken oder erhöhten kurzwelligen Anteilen in der spektralen Verteilung auf die Melatoninsuppression in der Na...

Playing with Density
The revised Swiss Spatial Planning Law, which came into effect in 2014, and the minimum strategy of ‘inward development before outward development’ obligate municipalities to direct their spatial development to ward existing, largely built-up spaces, and to coordinate building zone dimensioning across municipal boundaries. For many small- and medium-sized municipalities in Switzerland, this means changing thought patterns with regard to spatial planning practice. A major element of inward development is the constructional densification of existing settlement areas. However, especially in small- and medium-sized municipalities, densification is confronted with numerous problems, such as i...
