A much-needed work that provides an authoritative overview of the fundamental biological facts, theoretical models, and current experimental developments in this fascinating area. Cell motility is fundamentally important to a number of biological and pathological processes. The main challenge in the field of cell motility is to develop a complete physical description on how and why cells move. For this purpose new ways of modeling the properties of biological cells have to be found - and this volume is a major stepping-stone along the way.

Twentyfour years have gone by since the publication of K. Lohner and H. Muller's comprehen sive work "Gemischbildung und Verbrennung im Ottomotor" in 1967 1.1]' Naturally, the field of mixture formation and combustion in the spark-ignition engine has wit nessed great technological advances and many new findings in the intervening years, so that the time seemed ripe for presenting a summary of recent research and developments. There fore, I gladly took up the suggestion of the editors of this series of books, Professor Dr. H. List and Professor Dr. A. Pischinger, to write a book summarizing the present state of the art. A center of activity of the Institute of Internal-Combustion Engines and Automotive Engineering at the Vienna Technical University, which I am heading, is the field of mixture formation -there fore, many new results that have been achieved in this area in collaboration with the respective industry have been included in this volume. The basic principles of combustion are discussed only to that extent which seemect necessary for an understanding of the effects of mixture formation. The focal point of this volume is the mixture formation in spark-ignition engines, covering both the theory and actual design of the mixture formation units and appropriate intake manifolds. Also, the related measurement technology is explained in this work."

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich BWL - Marketing, Unternehmenskommunikation, CRM, Marktforschung, Social Media, Note: Mit Erfolg bestanden, Fachhochschule Salzburg (Betriebswirtschaft & Informationsmanagement), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Formen von Kundenbindungstypen in B2B - Implikationen fur das Marketing Management eines mittelstandischen Unternehmen in der IT-Branche Das Management von Kundenbeziehungen ist ein wirksames Instrument, um den okonomischen Erfolg eines Unternehmens zu steigern. Entscheidend ist, mehr uber unterschiedliche Kundentypen in Erfahrung zu bringen und so zu einem typenorientierten Einsatz dieses Marketinginstruments zu gelangen. Die vorliegende Arbeit tut dies anhand von Entscheidungstragern fur IT-Investitionen im B2B-Bereich. Nach der Aufbereitung der theoretischen Literatur werden im Hauptteil explorative Interviews mit Experten osterreichischer Unternehmen durchgefuhrt. Dabei wird betrachtet: Welche Wirkungsebenen sind ausschlaggebend, um einen Anbieter treu zu bleiben und wie werden (Wieder-)Kaufentscheidungen getroffen? Untersucht wird auch, welche Kundenbindungstypen aus der Literatur unter den Entscheidungstragern fur IT-Investitionen vorherrschen. Schliesslich werden Implikationen fur das Marketing Management abgeleitet: In der IT-Branche tatige Unternehmen erhalten so Empfehlungen fur die Gestaltung ihres Kundenbindungsmanagements
