Christian Schaller untersucht, wie der Wandel zu einer nachhaltigen Integration von Marketing und Innovation gestaltet werden kann, denn deren sich andernde Rollen erfordern neue Formen effektiver Integration. Aus institutioneller, netzwerk- und beziehungsorientierter Perspektive, innovativ und mit hoher praktischer Relevanz treibt er die Offnung der Forschung zur Schnittstellenthematik voran."

In den letzten Jahren sind Fragen zu Demokratie und Demokratiequalitat in OEsterreich wesentliche Themen der innenpolitischen sowie politikwissenschaftlichen Diskussion geworden. Das Buch analysiert einige ausgewahlte Politikbereiche bezuglich ihrer Demokratiequalitat: politischen Wechsel und Wettbewerb, Parlamentarismus, politische Partizipation, Auswirkungen des EU-Beitritts, Geschlechterdemokratie und politische Erwachsenenbildung. Es werden jeweils folgende vier systematische Fragestellungen behandelt: (1) Wie werden Demokratie und die (theoretischen) Kriterien fur Demokratiequalitat definiert? (2) Wie sind Zustand und historische Entwicklung von Demokratie und Demokratiequalitat beschaffen und wie sind sie gemass den Kriterien fur Demokratiequalitat zu bewerten? (3)Welche aktuellen Reformen und/oder Veranderungstendenzen von Demokratie und Demokratiequalitat zeichnen sich ab? (4) Was sind moegliche beziehungsweise wunschenswerte (langerfristige) Entwicklungsperspektiven von Demokratie und Demokratiequalitat - auch vor dem Hintergrund der Kriterien fur Demokratiequalitat? Das Buch schliesst mit einem ,Do-it-yourself-Audit' sowie Reflexionen zur Demokratiequalitat.

When dealing with stress assignment on the word level, many exceptions to hitherto defined principles can be found in the English language. While some exceptions can be explained by word or morpheme boundaries, others do not fit so easliy into the underlying systematicity of English stress behaviour. Some are often described as simply being idiosyncratic. A new statistical analysis reveals that many of these exceptions do share some common features to a certain extent, in particular in their orthography. Can this kind of features be used to establish additional rules in order to account for exceptional cases of English stress assignment? Or is there no other means but to consider these cases as lexcially exceptional?

Diploma Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Computer Science - Applied, grade: 1,0, Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Lehrstuhl fur Mustererkennung), 66 entries in the bibliography, language: English, comment: Within this theses a novel approach for image-guided radiotherapy is presented.Common known techniques, like external and internal gating are not sufficent enough and have too many disadvanteges within a clinical environment. The solution presented within this theses is combining the advantages of both approaches and disregards the disadvantages at the same time.An overview of gated radiotherapy is given and the used algorithm is described in detail. Leere Seiten, die Gliederungszwecken dienten, wurden aus dem Dokument entnommen - Anm. der Red.], abstract: Far reaching developments and technical advances took place within the field of radiotherapy in the last years. Radiotherapy within the chest and abdomen area is especially important in the field of radiotherapy. Within this regions, organ and tumor positions are significantly affected by patient respiration. The tumor motion, caused due to respiration is compensated by extending the treated area. This extension covers all possible positions of the tumor and therefore also includes healthy tissue. Several clinical studies provide evidence of a survival advantage for higher dose levels. To spare a maximum of healthy tissue physicians use 'gated radiotherapy'. Common recent approaches for gated radiotherapy are based on the observation of a surrogate. This either can be an implanted fiducial marker or an external signal, which is trying to capture the patients' respiration. Within this thesis principles and methods of 'gated radiotherapy' are described. Additionally an overview of recent patents and products related to radiotherapy are presented and advantages and disadvantages of both common approaches are discussed. This discussion leads to a new developed method, which is introdu
