Diese Entwicklungstendenz ist in anderen Ländern, wi...

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Die bisher vorherrschenden Verfahren zur Bewertung von Investitionsprojekten sind die statische Kapitalwertmethode und deren Weiterentwicklungen.

This book argues that the Constitution has a dual nature. The first aspect, on which legal scholars have focused, is the degree to which the Constitution acts as a binding set of rules that can be neutrally interpreted and externally enforced by the courts against government actors. This is the process of constitutional interpretation. But according to Keith Whittington, the Constitution also permeates politics itself, to guide and constrain p...

IEEE Press is proud to present the first selected reprint volume devoted to the new field of intelligent signal processing (ISP). ISP differs fundamentally from the classical approach to statistical signal processing in that it models the input-out-put behavior of a complex system by using "intelligent" or "model-free" techniques rather than relying on the shortcomings of a mathematical model.

Starting with only four hosts in 1969, the Internet consisted of over 56 million hosts by the end of 1999. In 1993, the World Wide Web was only 130 sites strong, six years later it boasted more than seven million sites.
