Sommario/riassunto |
|
Climate Change is a collection of a number of papers as well as chapters about the science of the subject. This collection is meant to inflame and excite conversation among engineers, scientists, and society at large. It would serve as a catalyst for a three-credit course, as a relatively new engineering subject, for both engineering and nonengineering university students. As university education develops to better prepare future leaders to appreciate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, engineering courses for a mix of engineering and nonengineering majors are essential and so is the requirement for worthy textbooks. This monograph intends to be one of the useful tools available on this timely topic. The wide range of topics includes climate change and theories, the second law of thermodynamics, the global greenhouse effect, anthropogenic heat |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The interaction of bacteria with biomaterials’ surfaces has critical clinical implications on the development and progression of biofilm-related diseases. In this book "Bacterial Interactions with Dental and Medical Materials", encouraging findings on tissue-contacting biomaterials to control biofilms, enhanced understanding of key mechanisms, and clinical perspectives are discussed toward improving healthcare. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The 3rd World Congress on Genetics, Geriatrics, and Neurodegenerative Disease Research (GeNeDis 2018), focuses on recent advances in genetics, geriatrics, and neurodegeneration, ranging from basic science to clinical and pharmaceutical developments. It also provides an international forum for the latest scientific discoveries, medical practices, and care initiatives. Advanced information technologies are discussed, including the basic research, implementation of medico-social policies, and the European and global issues in the funding of long-term care for elderly people. . |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit Kompetenz als Vertrauensdeterminante. Ziel ist, die unterschiedlichen Kompetenzarten und ihren Einfluss auf den Vertrauensentstehungsprozess vor dem theoretischen Hintergrund der Neuen Institutionenökonomie zu untersuchen. Das Ergebnis ist ein experimentell geprüftes Modell, das die Kausalbeziehung zwischen unterschiedlichen Kompetenzarten und Vertrauen unter Berücksichtigung personen- und situationsbedingter Faktoren abbildet. Das Wissen um diese Kausalbeziehung erlaubt kooperationswilligen Unternehmen, Einfluss auf die Entstehung, Entwicklung und Aufrechterhaltung von Kooperationsbeziehungen zu nehmen. |
