Organizations rely extensively upon a myriad of images and
pictorial representations such as budgets, schedules, reports,
graphs, and organizational charts to name but a few. Visual images
play an integral role in the process of organizing. This volume
argues that images in organizations are 'performative', meaning
that they can be seen as performances, rather than mere
representations, that play a significant role in all kind of
organizational activities. Imagining Organizations opens up new
ways of imagining business through an interdisciplinary approach
that captures the role of visualizations and their performances.
Contributions to this volume challenge this orthodox view to
explore how images in business, organizing and organizations are
viewed in a static and rigid form. Imagining Business addresses the
question of how we visualize organizations and their activities as
an important aspect of managerial work, focusing on practices and
performances, organizing and ordering, and media and technologies.
Moreover, it aims to provide a focal point for the growing
collection of studies that explore how various business artifacts
draw on the power of the visual to enable various forms of
organizing and organizations in diverse contexts.

This book summarizes the main achievements of the EC funded 6th
Framework Program project COFCLUO "Clearance of Flight Control Laws
Using Optimization." This project successfully contributed to the
achievement of a top-level objective to meet society s needs for a
more efficient, safer and environmentally friendly air transport by
providing new techniques and tools for the clearance of flight
control laws. This is an important part of the certification and
qualification process of an aircraft a costly and time-consuming
process for the aeronautical industry.
The overall objective of the COFCLUO project was to develop and
apply optimization techniques to the clearance of flight control
laws in order to improve efficiency and reliability. In the book,
the new techniques are explained and benchmarked against
traditional techniques currently used by the industry. The new
techniques build on mathematical criteria derived from the
certification and qualification requirements together with suitable
models of the aircraft. The development of these criteria and
models are also presented in the book.
Because of wider applicability, the optimization-based clearance
of flight control laws will open up the possibility to design
innovative aircraft that today are out of the scope using classical
clearance tools. Optimization-based clearance will not only
increase safety but it will also simplify the whole certification
and qualification process, thus significantly reduce cost. The
achieved speedup will also support rapid modeling and prototyping
and reduce time to market .
What fate does the future hold for Kyon and Haruhi?!Koizumi and his
fellows from the Agency are constantly cooking up ways to gently
(*ahem*) encourage romantic feelings between Kyon and Haruhi, but
Koizumi's holiday board game tests the very limit of Haruhi and
Kyon's acting abilities! Thankfully there's plenty of other holiday
fun to be had, including the many fine offerings of autumn and the
dawn of a new year (spent dodging Koizumi's machinations)!! You'll
find plenty of gags and guffaws as Haruhi dives into the world of
four-panel and short comics!!
A compilation of feverish thoughts, spontaneous images dressed by
words that pay homage to eternal questions and topics: love,
solitude, destiny, sadness, joy... A testimony with no masks on
which many will find themselves in different ways.
A collection of poems in which essential themes about life and
existence are treated with subtlety, elegance and harmony. An
inspiring painting of feelings, a landscape made of eternal
ingredients such as melancholy, sadness, joy, hope, forgiveness,
magic.
When he joins the organization committee for the joint
Kouyouen-North High festival, Kyon is reunited with Sasaki, an old
friend from middle school. Their renewed friendship draws a
confession out of Sasaki that could change everything A romantic
challenger has appeared
Is it too much to ask for a little peace and quiet around here? I
mean, it's cool that my old pal Sasaki showed up out of the blue,
but now Mori-san's blackmailing Tachibana, Fujiwara's being a
general pain in the butt, and Kuyou's clinging to
Kimidori-san-who's a cat for some reason. Amid the chaos, the SOS
Brigade's final line of defense and the individual most responsible
for my own sense of well being, Nagato, is downright...cheerful?
More characters, more gags, and more narration from Kyon in this
volume
It's a shock that there's a freshman willing to take on Haruhi's
Brigade Entrance Examination!But it's just as much a delight to
finally have someone willing to fight against the tyranny of the
straight man... Or so one would hope. With Yasumi Watahashi now on
the scene, Kyon's straight man game is soaring to new heights,
Asahina is going crazy, and Haruhi is acting more like a Brigade
Chief than ever before! And what of the feline-ified Kuyoh at
Nagato's house--when Kyon faces off with her, what could his fate
possibly be!?
Ensonaciones, reflejos febriles, espejismos o quizas mundos que
nunca existieron o, a lo mejor, que siempre estuvieron alli, con
nosotros... Esta es una coleccion de descripciones, pero tambien de
luces y sombras con sus propias condenas, y fragancias... Son
arrebatados escenarios vistos en momentos de locura, la mas cuerda
de todas las especies, abrazada con el haliento del corazon en pura
carne viva.
No matter the time of year, it's always open season for silliness
with Haruhi-chan and the SOS Brigade! Hunting down aliens, espers,
and time travelers is a full-time job. Whether she's making her
first visit to a shrine on New Year's, hanging out at the beach
over the summer, or revamping Christmas with a new look for Santa,
Haruhi-chan is forever seeking new ways to overload the world with
fun! You'll find plenty of gags and guffaws as Haruhi dives into
the world of four-panel and short comics!!
Saul. Cuarenta y tres anos. Toda una vida aparentemente hecha. Con
su trabajo, su esposa, pero tambien con su rutina, y tedio, que
conforme van pasando las jornadas, se hace mas y mas insoportable.
Es Navidad, tiempo de Esperanza, de busqueda, de inquietud. Algun
mecanismo se activa en su interior y nuestro Saul decide romper ese
vacio entre el pensamiento y la accion. Y se marcha. Sin rumbo ni
direccion, en busqueda del tesoro mas preciado al que jamas pueda
aspirar: el mismo. Una tierna mezcolanza entre la descripcion de
acontecimientos contemporaneos y los mas intimos sentimientos,
acarician suavemente las paginas de una obra que no puede dejar
indiferente a nadie que osase adentrarse en las mismas.
Una compilacion de breves historias en las que una amalgama de
personajes nacidos de los instintos que nos guian, nos muestran a
traves de diferentes tiempos, paisajes y aventuras, a nosotros
mismos. Son paginas que entretejen un espejo de la vida, en el cual
contemplar los reflejos de nuestros suenos, pero tambien de
nuestros miedos, ilusiones o decepciones...
