This book contains a selection of refereed papers presented at the “International Conference on Operations Research (OR 2011)” which took place at the University of Zurich from August 30 to September 2, 2011. The conference was jointly organized by the German speaking OR societies from Austria (ÖGOR), Germany (GOR) and Switzerland (SVOR) under the patronage of SVOR. More than 840 scientists and students from over 50 countries attended OR 2011 and presented 620 papers in 16 parallel topical streams, as well as special award sessions. The conference was designed according to the understanding of Operations Research as an interdisciplinary science focusing on modeling complex socio-technical systems to gain insight into behavior under interventions by decision makers. Dealing with “organized complexity” lies in the core of OR and designing useful support systems to master the challenge of system management in complex environment is the ultimate goal of our professional societies. To this end, algorithmic techniques and system modeling are two fundamental competences which are also well-balanced in these proceedings.

Die zweite Generation des wassergekühlten Porsche 911 wurde im Sommer 2004 der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert. Und keine 911-Generation zuvor war jemals auf so ungeteilte Begeisterung gestoßen: Den Designern war es gelungen, den 997 der Urform des 911 extrem anzunähern, wobei der Betrachter ihn aber gleichzeitig in seiner Gesamtwirkung als hochmodernen Sportwagen wahrnahm. Mit der Baureihe 997 hatte Porsche endgültig wieder zurück zu der klassischen 911-Linie gefunden - und das wirkte sich auch auf die Verkaufszahlen aus. Im Laufe seines Lebenszyklus stellte der bis Ende 2012 gebaute 997 aber nicht nur Verkaufsrekorde auf: Zeitweise wurden parallel nicht weniger als 24 verschiedene Modelle angeboten - von 325 bis zu 620 PS. Porsche-Enthusiast Grant Neal präsentiert in dieser akribisch recherchierten Typenmonografie alles Wissenswerte rund um einen der zukünftigen Klassiker aus Zuffenhausen. Eine abschließende ausführliche Kaufberatung unterstützt all jene, die sich mit der Anschaffung eines 997 beschäftigen, das für sie richtige Modell zu finden.

Es scheint auf den ersten Blick doch etwas sehr weit hergeholt. Griechische Siedler, Kaufleute und Handwerker sollen in der Wildnis gelebt haben, in einer Gegend, die den Alten zur römischen Zeit als die "Helvetische Einöde" bekannt war. Von den östlichen Abhängen des Schwarzwaldes bis in die Gegend von Augsburg, von Pforzheim bis an die Donau sollen zwischen den Kelten Jahrhunderte vor Christus (620-540 v.Chr.) zahlreiche Griechen gelebt haben. Sie sollen eine Stadt, Pyrene, erbaut und Handwerk und Handel betrieben haben. Überwiegend sind es Autoren des 17.Jahrhunderts die einige Namen von Orten und Einzelheiten überliefert haben, darunter der Name eines Baumeisters, ein Heiligtum der Chariten (griechische Göttinnen der Schönheit und Anmut, Töchter des Zeus...) Ihre Quellen sind sicher in den alten Büchern der Klosterbibliotheken zu suchen, die in der Säkularisation (1803) untergegangen sind. Zusätzlich geben die Ergebnisse der modernen Archäologie die Möglichkeit, den Zeitraum sehr genau einzugrenzen, beziehungsweise die Ergebnisse der Wissenschaft zur Beurteilung der Überlieferung heranzuziehen....

<p>Aesop's Fables, or the Aesopica, is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave and storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. Of diverse origins, the stories associated with his name have descended to modern times through a number of sources and continue to be reinterpreted in different verbal registers and in popular as well as artistic media.</p> <p>The fables originally belonged to the oral tradition and were not collected for some three centuries after Aesop's death. By that time a variety of other stories, jokes and proverbs were being ascribed to him, although some of that material was from sources earlier than him or came from beyond the Greek cultural sphere. The process of inclusion has continued until the present, with some of the fables unrecorded before the later Middle Ages and others arriving from outside Europe. The process is continuous and new stories are still being added to the Aesop corpus, even when they are demonstrably more recent work and sometimes from known authors.</p> <p>Manuscripts in Latin and Greek were important avenues of transmission, although poetical treatments in European vernaculars eventually formed another. On the arrival of printing, collections of Aesop's fables were among the earliest books in a variety of languages. Through the means of later collections, and translations or adaptations of them, Aesop's reputation as a fabulist was transmitted throughout the world.</p> <p>Initially the fables were addressed to adults and covered religious, social and political themes.</p> <p>Aesop's most famous fables include Raven and Fox, Man and Partridge, Rooster and Servant, Rooster and Diamond, Shepherd Joker, Jupiter and Snake, Jupiter and Bees, and The Lamb Chased By A Wolf, Jupiter And The Tortoise and more.</p>

Entre los géneros literarios, la fábula se tiene por menor, debido a su brevedad y sencillez retórica. Sin embargo, el conjunto de fábulas atribuidas a Esopo (620-560 a.C.), protagonizadas por animales parlantes y marcadas por su intención aleccionadora, ha gozado de una popularidad y una vigencia enormes y han penetrado en el repertorio del saber tradicional. Aunque diversos autores reescribieron el corpus esópico durante la Antigüedad clásica, la Edad Media, el Renacimiento y el siglo XVIII, fue Esopo (sea o no un personaje histórico) quien fijó la estructura más perdurable de este tipo de relatos, poblados por animales de rasgos humanos como el mono vanidoso, el asno torpe o el astuto zorro. Traducción y notas de P. Bádenas de la Peña y J. López Facal. Introducción de C. García Gual. Revisada por J. López Facal y P. Bádenas de la Peña.

The Poems of Sappho Sappho - Sappho is widely recognized as one of the great poets of world literature, an author whose works have caused her readers to repeat in many different forms Strabo's amazed epithet when he wrote that she could only be called "a marvel."The reception of Sappho's poetry even through the twentieth century offers a case study of the conflicts induced by the sexual preferences she seemingly alludes to in her verse.Little is known with certainty about the life of Sappho, or Psappha in her native Aeolic dialect. She was born probably about 620 B.C. to an aristocratic family on the island of Lesbos during a great cultural flowering in the area.In antiquity Sappho was regularly counted among the greatest of poets and was often referred to as "the Poetess," just as Homer was called "the Poet.Praised for their simplicity and sincerity, the poems of Sappho evoke powerful and memorable images through her focus on emotion and individualism that foreshadows modern poetry.
