Exponentielles Wachstum ist kein Zufall, sondern das Ergebnis klarer Kriterien und einer geeigneten Strategie. Die "Five Exponential Principles" sind das Ergebnis zahlreicher Innovations- und Entwicklungsprojekte. Sie sind die notwendige Grundlage für exponentiell wachsende Geschäftsmodelle. Mit dem Exponential Innovation Playbook werden Frameworks für die Übertragung der "Five Exponential Principles" in die Praxis vorgestellt. Dieses gilt sowohl für für Corporates als auch für Start-ups. Mit der Tool-Box werden 8 Frameworks zusammengefasst, die in jedem Unternehmen ein schneller Einstieg in die Entwicklung exponentiell wachsender Geschäftsmodelle genommen werden können. Das Exponential Innovation Wheel bündelt die Werkzeuge für eine dauerhafte Innovation und Beschleunigung der Transformation im Unternehmen. Beide Frameworks sind das Ergebnis vieler Innovations- und Transformationsprojekte der letzten Jahre. Die Zusammenfassung in einem Buch geht auf den Wunsch vieler Projektpartner zurück. Das Exponential Innovation Playbook soll einen Beitrag für die so dringend notwendige Transformation in Europa und Deutschland leisten.

<p>Artificial organs may be considered as small-scale process plants, in which heat, mass and momentum transfer operations and, possibly, chemical transformations are carried out. This book proposes a novel analysis of artificial organs based on the typical bottom-up approach used in process engineering. Starting from a description of the fundamental physico-chemical phenomena involved in the process, the whole system is rebuilt as an interconnected ensemble of elemental unit operations.</p> <p>Each artificial organ is presented with a short introduction provided by expert clinicians. Devices commonly used in clinical practice are reviewed and their performance is assessed and compared by using a mathematical model based approach. Whilst mathematical modelling is a fundamental tool for quantitative descriptions of clinical devices, models are kept simple to remain focused on the essential features of each process.</p> <p>Postgraduate students and researchers in the field of chemical and biomedical engineering will find that this book provides a novel and useful tool for the analysis of existing devices and, possibly, the design of new ones. This approach will also be useful for medical researchers who want to get a deeper insight into the basic working principles of artificial organs.</p>

<p>Verification is increasingly complex, and SystemVerilog is one of the languages that the verification community is turning to. However, no language by itself can guarantee success without proper techniques. Object-oriented programming (OOP), with its focus on managing complexity, is ideally suited to this task.</p> <p></p> <p>With this handbook—the first to focus on applying OOP to SystemVerilog—we’ll show how to manage complexity by using layers of abstraction and base classes. By adapting these techniques, you will write more "reasonable" code, and build efficient and reusable verification components.</p> <p></p> <p>Both a learning tool and a reference, this handbook contains hundreds of real-world code snippets and three professional verification-system examples. You can copy and paste from these examples, which are all based on an open-source, vendor-neutral framework (with code freely available at www.trusster.com).</p> <p></p> <p>Learn about OOP techniques such as these:</p> <ul> <p> </p> <li>Creating classes—code interfaces, factory functions, reuse</li> <p></p> <p> </p> <li>Connecting classes—pointers, inheritance, channels</li> <p></p> <p> </p> <li>Using "correct by construction"—strong typing, base classes</li> <p></p> <p> </p> <li>Packaging it up—singletons, static methods, packages</li> </ul>

<p><em>The Definitive Guide to SOA: Oracle® Service Bus, Second Edition</em> targets professional software developers and architects who know enterprise development but are new to enterprise service buses (ESBs) and service–oriented architecture (SOA) development. This is the first book to cover a practical approach to SOA using the BEA AquaLogic Service Bus tool. And it's written from the “source”—BEA Systems AquaLogic product lead <strong>Jeff Davies</strong>.</p> <ul> <li>This book provides hands–on information to developing SOA–driven applications with ESBs as central components. </li> <li>It also gives strategic guidance on SOA planning, web service life–cycle management, administration of an ESB, and security considerations. </li> <li>Author <strong>Jeff Davies</strong> is careful to cut through theory and get straight to demonstrating successful use of the product. </li> </ul>

Excellence in higher education is as old as university, but nowadays the concept is widely emphasized and its meaning has been redefined on the basis of different values and goals, especially those related to market. Excellence has become the meter on which institutions are assessed and public funding allocated, the tool by which worldwide comparisons and rankings of institutions are built, and a marketable brand used by higher education institutions to present themselves. This book offers an international and comparative view on excellence in higher education, ranging from policies to practices, mainly based on research results and empirical evidence, aiming at questioning the concept and its uses which are not only social constructions but also political ones. Far from being a neutral or technical concept, excellence is heavily infused with values which must be traced, analysed and made critical to understand its impacts, backlashes and unintended outcomes on higher education systems, institutions, academics and students. The book is addressed to an international audience and in particular to higher education scholars and professionals. Those who are involved in higher education assessment, members of professional bodies and organizations in the higher education field, students in education, but also policy makers and the public opinion at large will profit from the works of a selected group of scholars coming from a variety of countries. A sense of disquietude seems ever present when discussing new digital practices. The transformations incurred through these can be profound, troublesome in nature and far-reaching. Moral panics remain readily available.

What does the development of a truly robust contemporary theory of domination require? Ashley J. Bohrer argues that it is only by considering all of the dimensions of race, gender, sexuality, and class within the structures of capitalism and imperialism that we can understand power relations as we find them nowadays. Bohrer explains how many of the purported incompatibilities between Marxism and intersectionality arise more from miscommunication rather than a fundamental conceptual antagonism. As the first monograph entirely devoted to this issue, »Marxism and Intersectionality« serves as a tool to activists and academics working against multiple systems of domination, exploitation, and oppression.

In this book Peter Smagorinsky reconsiders his many publications employing Vygotsky’s theory of culturally-mediated human development and applies them, through a unified and coherent series of chapters, to literacy research. This exploration takes previously-published work and incorporates it into a new and sustained argument regarding the application of Vygotsky’s ideas to current questions regarding the nature of literacy and how to investigate it as a cultural phenomenon that contributes to human growth in social context. To conduct this inquiry, Smagorinsky first provides an overview that contextualizes Vygotsky both in his own time and in efforts to extrapolate from his Soviet origins to the 21st Century world. This consideration includes attention to the current context for literacy studies. He then reviews current conceptions of literacy in the realms of reading, writing, and additional tool use, grounding each in a Vygotskian perspective. The book’s final chapters take a critical look at both research method and the writing of research reports, taking into account both research and research reports as social constructions based in disciplinary practices. On the whole, this volume makes an important contribution to Vygotskian studies and literacy research through the author’s careful alignment between theory and practice.
