This exhaustive survey is the result of a four year effort by many leading researchers in the field to produce both a readable introduction and a yardstick for the many upcoming experiments using heavy ion collisions to examine the properties of nuclear matter. The books falls naturally into five large parts, first examining the bulk properties of strongly interacting matter, including its equation of state and phase structure. Part II discusses elementary hadronic excitations of nuclear matter, Part III addresses the concepts and models regarding the space-time dynamics of nuclear collision experiments, Part IV collects the observables from past and current high-energy heavy-ion facilities in the context of the theoretical predictions specific to compressed baryonic matter. Part V finally gives a brief description of the experimental concepts. The book explicitly addresses everyone working or planning to enter the field of high-energy nuclear physics.

Mangroves are a fascinating group of plants that occur on tropical and subtropical shorelines of all continents, where they are exposed to saltwater inundation, low oxygen levels around their roots, high light and temperature conditions, and periodic tropical storms. Despite these harsh conditions, mangroves may form luxuriant forests which are of significant economic and environmental value throughout the world - they provide coastal protection and underpin fisheries and forestry operations, as well as a range of other human activities.

This book provides an up-to-date account of mangrove plants from around the world, together with silvicultural and restoration techniques, and the management requirements of these communities to ensure their sustainability and conservation.
All aspects of mangroves and their conservation are critically re-examined. Those activities which threaten their ongoing survival are identified and suggestions are offered to minimise their effects on these significant plant communities.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Note: 1,3, Bankakademie Frankfurt e.V. (Betriebswirtschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Die Vorgehensweisen in der Personalwirtschaft von Finanzdienstleistern unterscheiden sich nach Branche, Institutsgruppe, regionaler Lage des Unternehmens, Unternehmenskultur und Personalbedarfsplanung. Die Verfasser haben sich entschieden, aus Grunden der Ubersichtlichkeit der Thematik Personalwirtschaft, den Bereich der Erstausbildung bei Finanzdienstleistern zu fokussieren. Um die Situation im Bereich der Erstausbildung darzustellen, auf die sich aus Grunden der Komplexitat diese Studienarbeit beschrankt, ist auch die Berucksichtigung demographischer und allgemeiner wirtschaftlicher Entwicklungen wichtig. Neben der Qualifikation der Bewerber im Bereich der klassischen Finanzdienstleister beeinflussen tiefgreifende Veranderungen im Kundenverhalten, zunehmender Einfluss moderner Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien und rasch wachsender Wettbewerb mit branchenfremden Wettbewerbern die Personalplanung. Die Kreditinstitute reagieren darauf mit strategischer Neuorientierung, die darauf zielt, unrentable Geschaftsfelder aufzugeben (Aufgabe des Universalbankanspruchs, Filialschliessung, Outsourcing) und eine nachhaltige Umstrukturierung zu erreichen, die den neuen Kunden- und Marktanforderungen entspricht. Die Neuausrichtung umfasst alle Geschaftsprozesse eines Finanzdienstleisters inklusive der Erstausbildung. Gestiegene Anforderungen an die Bewerber fur eine Erstausbildung, die Abnahme der Bewerberzahlen fur das Berufsbild Bankkaufmann/-frau und die anhaltende relative Leistungsschwache der Schulabganger in Deutschland sind die wesentlichen Probleme fur Finanzdienstleister bei der gezielten Personalbeschaffung und -ausbildung. Diesen Trend haben auch regionale und uberregionale Dienstleister erkannt und bieten ihre Unterstutzung an. Auf diesem neuen Markt bewegen si
