Tiere und Migration
Die Wanderungen von Tieren werden seit der Antike erforscht, diskutiert, mystifiziert und künstlerisch reflektiert. Bei der Hinwendung zu migrierenden Tieren geht es in vielen Fällen aber nicht allein um die Frage, wie und warum bestimmte Tierarten zwischen verschiedenen Habitaten wandern. Vielmehr berührt die Beschäftigung mit Tieren auf Wanderschaft auch Themen, die der kulturwissenschaftlichen Exil- und Migrationsforschung nahestehen. Tiere können krisenhaft von Vertreibungen betroffen und gezwungen sein, neue Lebensräume aufzusuchen. Einige Tiere fliehen indes auch mit Menschen und richten sich mit ihnen im Exil ein. Tierliche Migration betrifft aber auch die Fälle, in denen (tote...
Arbeit
Dieser Band von Tierstudien beleuchtet den Begriff, das Konzept, das Phänomen sowie die Praxis der Arbeit in Bezug auf nichtmenschliche Tiere. Es geht um die Arbeit von Tieren, mit Tieren und für Tiere, z.B. als Subsistenzarbeit, Lohnarbeit, Erwerbsarbeit, Fronarbeit, Sklavenarbeit, Gastarbeit, Mitarbeit, emotionale Arbeit, entfremdete Arbeit, Kollaboration, Charity- oder Care-Arbeit. Tiere produzieren für sich selbst und für andere. Sie sind instinktiv, gezwungenermaßen oder freiwillig tätig, um ihren Lebensunterhalt zu bestreiten oder um von Menschen eine Lebensberechtigung zugesprochen zu bekommen. Die meisten Säugetiere arbeiten in der Landwirtschaft, im Transportwesen, im Medizin...
The Block (The Second Book of The Loop Trilogy)
In the second book of The Loop trilogy, Luka is trapped in a fate worse than death. But now that he knows the truth about what he and his fellow inmates are being used for, it's more important than ever that he not only escapes, but that he builds an army. Luka is a prisoner once again. But this time it's a fate worse than death. In the Block, he must toggle between enduring an Energy Harvest for twelve hours of the day and surviving complete immobilization. The only semblance of relief is the Sane Zone, created to keep prisoners from going completely mad. In this virtual reality, the prisoners live out their fantasies of life outside. But for Luka, it's different. Happy is determined to find out the location of his friends, who disappeared after the Battle of Midway Park. But can Luka battle the descent into madness long enought to stop Happy's manipulation tactics and keep his friends' location safe? Another prison break is the only chance to protect the Missing. And as reality becomes increasingly scrambled on the outside, it'll take an army to stop Galen from carrying out his plans.

Managing Business Relationships
No company is an island in the world of business. Each company is locked into a complex network of relationships with its customers, suppliers and other counterparts. What happens in these relationships is critical to the success of any business. Managing a company's relationships and its position in the network is a central, but often misunderstood aspect of business. This new edition of Managing Business Relationships aims to help managers and students understand the reality of business networks and how to manage in them. It has been entirely rewritten to include the latest thinking and research from the IMP (Industrial Marketing and Purchasing) Group and includes new chapters on Intermedi...
Reliable and Energy Efficient Streaming Multiprocessor Systems
This book discusses analysis, design and optimization techniques for streaming multiprocessor systems, while satisfying a given area, performance, and energy budget. The authors describe design flows for both application-specific and general purpose streaming systems. Coverage also includes the use of machine learning for thermal optimization at run-time, when an application is being executed. The design flow described in this book extends to thermal and energy optimization with multiple applications running sequentially and concurrently.
Strategic Networks
Strategic Networks: Creating the Borderless Organization focuses on the principles, methodologies, and approaches involved in the creation of borderless organizations. The book first underscores competition and cooperation and the ways to organize a business system. Discussions focus on organization as a way to meet strategic demands, vertical integration and subcontracting, intrinsic profitability of different activities, disadvantages of vertical integration, and guidelines for decision-making on vertical integration. The monograph then examines over-subcontracting, strategic network, and essence of a strategic network. Topics include generating trust, how to reduce transaction costs, comp...
The Loop
Life inside The Loop-the futuristic death row for teens under eighteen-is one long repetitive purgatory. But when news of the encroaching chaos in the outside world reaches the inmates and disorder begins to strike, the prison becomes the least of th
Blocks, Towards Energy-efficient, Coarse-grained Reconfigurable Architectures
This book describes a new, coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture (CGRA), called Blocks, and puts it in the context of computer architectures, and in particular of other CGRAs. The book starts with an extensive evaluation of historic and existing CGRAs and their strengths and weaknesses. This also leads to a better understanding and new definition of what distinguishes CGRAs from other architectural approaches. The authors introduce Blocks as unique due to its separate programmable control and data paths, allowing light-weight instruction decode units to be arbitrarily connected to one or more functional units (FUs) over a statically configured interconnect. The discussion includes an explanation of how to model architectures, resulting in an area and energy model for Blocks. The accuracy of this model is evaluated against fully implemented architectures, showing that although it is three orders of magnitude faster than synthesis the error margin is very acceptable. The book concludes with a case study on a real System-on-Chip, including a RISC architecture, the Blocks CGRA and peripherals.
