Dieses Buch bietet eine prägnante und dennoch umfassende
Einführung in die Resilienz von Lieferketten, die Management-,
Modellierungs- und Technologieperspektiven abdeckt. Es wurde als
Begleitlektüre zum Lehrbuch "Global Supply Chain and Operations
Management" konzipiert und befasst sich eingehender mit den Themen
Risiken und Widerstandsfähigkeit von Lieferketten, beschreibt die
wichtigsten Merkmale der Widerstandsfähigkeit von Lieferketten und
erläutert Methoden zur Abschwächung von Unterbrechungen der
Lieferkette und zur Wiederherstellung. Zur Veranschaulichung der
theoretischen Konzepte werden zahlreiche praktische Beispiele und
kurze Fallstudien angeführt. Ohne sich stark auf mathematische
Ableitungen zu stützen, erklärt das Buch die wichtigsten Konzepte
und Methoden zum Aufbau und zur Verbesserung der
Widerstandsfähigkeit von Lieferketten und zur Bewältigung von
Risiken bei Unterbrechungen der Lieferkette in einem einfachen,
einheitlichen Format, das Studenten und Fachleuten mit Management-
und Ingenieurhintergrund das Verständnis erleichtert. Doktoranden
und Supply-Chain-Fachleute profitieren gleichermaßen von der
strukturierten, didaktisch orientierten und prägnanten Darstellung
der Konzepte, Prinzipien und Methoden des

The ideas of the Protestant Reformation, followed by the European
Enlightenment, had a profound and long-lasting impact on Russia's
church and society in the eighteenth century. Though the
traditional Orthodox Church was often assumed to have been hostile
toward outside influence, Andrey V. Ivanov's study argues that the
institution in fact embraced many Western ideas, thereby undergoing
what some observers called a religious revolution. Embedded with
lively portrayals of historical actors and vivid descriptions of
political details, A Spiritual Revolution is the first large-scale
effort to fully identify exactly how Western progressive thought
influenced the Russian Church. These new ideas played a
foundational role in the emergence of the country as a modernizing
empire and the rise of the Church hierarchy as a forward-looking
agency of institutional and societal change. Ivanov addresses this
important debate in the scholarship on European history, firmly
placing Orthodoxy within the much wider European and global
continuum of religious change.

Birth in Kabbalah and Psychoanalysis examines the centrality of
"birth" in Jewish literature, gender theory, and psychoanalysis,
thus challenging the centrality of death in Western culture and
existential philosophy. In this groundbreaking study, Ruth
Kara-Ivanov Kaniel discuss similarities between Biblical,
Midrashic, Kabbalistic, and Hasidic perceptions of birth, as well
as its place in contemporary cultural and psychoanalytic discourse.
In addition, this study shows how birth functions as a vital
metaphor that has been foundational to art, philosophy, religion,
and literature. Medieval Kabbalistic literature compared human
birth to divine emanation, and presented human sexuality and
procreation as a reflection of the sefirotic structure of the
Godhead - an attempt, Kaniel claims, to marginalize the fear of
death by linking the humane and divine acts of birth. This book
sheds new light on the image of God as the "Great Mother" and the
crucial role of the Shekhinah as a cosmic womb. Birth in Kabbalah
and Psychoanalysis won the Gorgias Prize and garnered significant
appreciation from psychoanalytic therapists in clinical practice
dealing with birth trauma, postpartum depression, and in early
infancy distress.

This book provides a comprehensive review of complex networks from
three different domains, presents novel methods for analyzing them,
and highlights applications with accompanying case studies. Special
emphasis is placed on three specific kinds of complex networks of
high technological and scientific importance: software networks
extracted from the source code of computer programs, ontology
networks describing semantic web ontologies, and co-authorship
networks reflecting collaboration in science. The book is primarily
intended for researchers, teachers and students interested in
complex networks and network data analysis. However, it will also
be valuable for researchers dealing with software engineering,
ontology engineering and scientometrics, as it demonstrates how
complex network analysis can be used to address important research
issues in these three disciplines.

The third edition of this textbook comprehensively discusses global
supply chain and operations management (SCOM), combining value
creation networks and interacting processes. It focuses on
operational roles within networks and presents the quantitative and
organizational methods needed to plan and control the material,
information, and financial flows in supply chains. Each chapter
begins with an introductory case study, while numerous examples
from various industries and services help to illustrate the key
concepts. The book explains how to design operations and supply
networks and how to incorporate suppliers and customers. It
examines how to balance supply and demand, a core aspect of
tactical planning, before turning to the allocation of resources to
meet customer needs. In addition, the book presents
state-of-the-art research reflecting the lessons learned from the
COVID-19 pandemic, and emerging, fast-paced developments in the
digitalization of supply chain and operations management. Providing
readers with a working knowledge of global supply chain and
operations management, with a focus on bridging the gap between
theory and practice, this textbook can be used in core,
specialized, and advanced classes alike. It is intended for a broad
range of students and professionals in supply chain and operations
management.
In its fifth extended edition the successful monograph package
"Multiphase Flow Dynamics" contains theory, methods and practical
experience for describing complex transient multi-phase processes
in arbitrary geometrical configurations, providing a systematic
presentation of the theory and practice of numerical multi-phase
fluid dynamics. In the present first volume the local volume and
time averaging is used to derive a complete set of conservation
equations for three fluids each of them having multi components as
constituents. Large parts of the book are devoted on the design of
successful numerical methods for solving the obtained system of
partial differential equations. Finally the analysis is repeated
for boundary fitted curvilinear coordinate systems designing
methods applicable for interconnected multi-blocks. This fifth
edition includes various updates, extensions, improvements and
corrections, as well as a completely new chapter containing the
basic physics describing the multi-phase flow in turbines,
compressors, pumps and other rotating hydraulic machines.

Java programming language. The monograph is directed to, students
and researchers interested in the e-learning and personalization
techniques.
Studying and using light or "photons" to image and then to
control and transmit molecular information is among the most
challenging and significant research fields to emerge in recent
years. One of the fastest growing areas involves research in the
temporal imaging of quantum phenomena, ranging from molecular
dynamics in the femto (10-15s) time regime for atomic motion to the
atto (10-18s) time scale of electron motion. In fact, the
attosecond "revolution" is now recognized as one of the most
important recent breakthroughs and innovations in the science of
the 21st century. A major participant in the development of
ultrafast femto and attosecond temporal imaging of molecular
quantum phenomena has been theory and numerical simulation of the
nonlinear, non-perturbative response of atoms and molecules to
ultrashort laser pulses. Therefore, imaging quantum dynamics is a
new frontier of science requiring advanced mathematical approaches
for analyzing and solving spatial and temporal multidimensional
partial differential equations such as Time-Dependent Schroedinger
Equations (TDSE) andTime-Dependent Dirac equations (TDDEs for
relativistic phenomena). These equations are also coupled to the
photons in Maxwell's equations for collective propagation effects.
Inversion of the experimental imaging data of quantum dynamics
presents new mathematical challenges in the imaging of quantum wave
coherences on subatomic (subnanometer) spatial dimensions and
multiple timescales from atto to femto and even nanoseconds.In
"Quantum Dynamic Imaging: Theoretical and Numerical Methods,"
leading researchers discuss these exciting state-of-the-art
developments and theirimplications for R&D in view of the
promise of quantum dynamic imagingscience as the essential tool for
controlling matter at the molecular level."
