This book provides an overview of the design, synthesis, and
characterization of different photoactive hybrid organic-inorganic
materials, based on the combination of mainly organic molecules and
inorganic nanostructures, tackling their uses in different
scientific fields from photonics to biomedicine. There are many
examples extensively describing how the confinement of organic
compounds (i.e. chromophores, photochromic molecules or
photoreactants), or other photoactive compounds (i.e.metal
clusters) into several microporous systems can modulate the
photophysical properties and photochemical reactions leading to
interesting applications. Among (ordered)-hosts, different systems
of diverse nature are widely used, such as the, the 1D- or 3D-
channels of zeolitic frameworks, interlayer space of 2D-clays, the
organic nanospace of curcubituril and cyclodextrins or the
organo-inorganic porous crystalline MOFs systems. This volume
highlights the advances of these photoactive materials and aims to
be an inspiration for researchers working in materials science and
photochemistry, including chemists, material engineers, physicists,
biologists, and medical researchers.

In contrastive linguistics of English and German, there is a
tradition of accounting for contrasts with respect to grammar and,
to a lesser extent, for lexis and phonetics. Moving on to discourse
and text, there is a sizeable body of literature on cohesive
patterns in English and German respectively - but very little in
terms of a comparison. The latter, though, is of particular
interest for language learners, translators and, of course,
linguists and researchers in language technology. This book
attempts to close this gap, based on a number of years of
corpus-based study into variation and cohesion in the two
languages. While there is an overall focus on language contrasts,
it also investigates variation between different registers
language-internally, and between written and spoken mode in
particular. For each of the five major types of cohesion
(co-reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunctive relations and
lexical cohesion), overviews are given of contrasts in the system
and of contrastive frequencies in texts. Results and methods
presented in this book are thus relevant for language teaching,
translation, language technology and corpus-based work on English
and German generally.
This book examines the progress made in e-enabling the HR function
and the relationship with outsourcing. The editors review and
analyse recent developments in the application of outsourcing and
ICT to the HR function and its overall contribution to
organizational aims. This text aims to fill the gap in current
literature, by providing accessible guidance on how to tackle the
e-enablement of the function and on the factors associated with
successful outsourcing. There is no single text that adequately
deals with this increasingly important problem and which has been
recognised by the CIPD as a key area of research for their forward
programme. The contributors all have leading-edge knowledge and
practical experience and aim to provide practical guidance for
organizations and HR professionals. This work features practical
case studies illustrating the developments in the application of
outsourcing and ICT to the HR function.
With the recent and enormous increase in the amount of available
data sets of all kinds, applying effective and efficient techniques
for analyzing and extracting information from that data has become
a crucial task. Intelligent Data Analysis for Real-Life
Applications: Theory and Practice investigates the application of
Intelligent Data Analysis (IDA) to these data sets through the
design and development of algorithms and techniques to extract
knowledge from databases. This pivotal reference explores practical
applications of IDA, and it is essential for academic and research
libraries as well as students, researchers, and educators in data
analysis, application development, and database management.
This cutting-edge introduction for all modern courses in
Organizational Behaviour and Management has been thoroughly updated
for the fifth edition. New material has been added, including a new
chapter on complexity, change and development and increased
material on learning and human resource management. Informed by the
latest research, Martin & Fellenz walk carefully through the
fundamental topics with a focus on key issues - globalization and
culture, ethics and corporate social responsibility, competitive
pressures and organizational change - to leave students with a
practical and open-minded grasp of organizational behaviour in the
twenty-first century.
An indispensable guide to visual ethics, this book addresses the
need for critical thinking and ethical behavior among students and
professionals responsible for a variety of mass media visual
messages. Written for an ever-growing discipline, authors Paul
Martin Lester, Stephanie A. Martin, and Martin Rodden-Smith give
serious ethical consideration to the complex field of visual
communication. The book covers the definitions and uses of six
philosophies, analytical methods, cultural awareness, visual
reporting, documentary, citizen journalists, advertising, public
relations, typography, graphic design, data visualizations,
cartoons, motion pictures, television, computers and the web,
augmented and virtual reality, social media, the editing process,
and the need for empathy. At the end of each chapter are case
studies for further analysis and interviews with thoughtful
practitioners in each field of study, including Steven Heller and
Nigel Holmes. This second edition has also been fully revised and
updated throughout to reflect on the impact of new and emerging
technologies. This book is an important resource for students of
photojournalism, photography, filmmaking, media and communication,
and visual communication, as well as professionals working in these
fields.

Dieses Lehrbuch zeichnet sich durch klare Strukturen, bewährte
Didaktik und Ãœbersichten zur Veranschaulichung komplexer
Zusammenhänge aus. Zahlreiche Abbildungen aus der Technik und
Berechnungsbeispiele aus dem Arbeitsumfeld des Ingenieurs
vermitteln den Praxisbezug. Übungsaufgaben und deren ausführliche
Lösungen ermöglichen es, physikalische Zusammenhänge rechnerisch
zu erfassen und vertiefen ihr Verständnis. Dieses erfolgreiche
Standardwerk erscheint in seiner 12. Auflage. Auf den Innenseiten
des Einbands finden sich nun in übersichtlicher Zusammenstellung
wichtige physikalische Naturkonstanten, eine Tabelle zur Umrechnung
von Energieäquivalenten sowie eine Liste öfters anzutreffender,
jedoch nicht mit dem SI konformer Maßeinheiten. Die Zielgruppen
Das Lehrbuch wendet sich an Studierende der Natur- und
Ingenieurwissenschaften sowie an Ingenieure in der Praxis, die eine
kompakte Darstellung des physikalischen Wissens schätzen.
