This book offers a wealth of thinking about the complex and often contradictory definitions surrounding the concepts of plagiarism and intellectual property. The authors show that plagiarism is not nearly as simple and clear-cut a phenomenon as we may think. Contributors offer many definitions and facets of plagiarism and intellectual property, demonstrating that if defining a supposedly "simple" concept is difficult, then applying multiple de...

A concept that originated in Japan, cellular manufacturing (CM) involves the layout of the production floor, the production process, and the people working in the process itself. The idea is that if similar processes can be clustered together in "cells" on the production line with a limited number of people specializing in each cell, the outcome should be faster production cycles, fewer breakdowns, and higher quality products. This handbook br...

This volume is an outgrowth of the 1995 Summer School on Theoretical Physics of the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP), held in Banff, Alberta, in the Canadian Rockies, from July 30 to August 12, 1995. The chapters, based on lectures given at the School, are designed to be tutorial in nature, and many include exercises to assist the learning process. Most lecturers gave three or four fifty-minute lectures aimed at relative novices in the...

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist das häufigste periphere Nervenkompressionssyndrom. Es handelt sich meist um ein multifaktorielles Geschehen, wobei berufsassoziierten Über- und Fehlbelastungen ein immer größerer Stellenwert zugeschrieben wird. Trotz typischer Krankheitssymptomatik ist die differentialdiagnostische Abgrenzung des Karpaltunnelsyndroms oft erschwert, sodass Patienten erst verspätet einer adäquaten Behandlung zugeführt werden. Dieses ...

Growth in the field of landscape ecology has included the development of methods and results that can be applied to an impressive range of environmental issues.

His findings relate to such themes of recent history as nationalism, regionalism and anti-clericalism, and contribute to the theoretical debate on the relevance of structuralist anthropology to European societies.
