It provides guidelines on how to effectively structure research goals, how to analyze research problems concerning design goals and knowledge questions, how to validate artifact designs and how to empirically investigate artifacts in context - and finally how to present the results of the design cycle as a whole.

A Developer's Guide to the Semantic Web

This book is a guide to asset and risk management from a practical point of view. It is intended to serve as a comprehensive introduction to asset and risk management for bachelor's and master's students in this field as well as for young professionals in the asset management industry.

Meticulous biomicroscopic examination of macular changes and the essential value of fluorescein angiography for the detection of anatomical alterations of the macula and for precise evaluation of lesions and their course by indocyanine green angiography have naturally led the author Gabriel Coscas to analyze the new data provided by OCT.

With an emphasis on experimentation and interpretation, this volume introduces lasers and quantum optics. It focuses on the structure of molecules and their spectroscopy as well as on collision physics as the continuum counterpart to bound molecular states.

This book examines a wide range of factors that govern innovation in organizations. It presents a business model that eases communication between the three stakeholders of an innovation: inventor, decision maker and organization.

The present book provides a fully self-contained introduction to the world of modern mathematical statistics, collecting the basic knowledge, concepts and findings needed for doing further research in the modern theoretical and applied statistics.

The minimally invasive use of botulinum toxins (BoNT) in the lower urinary tract has changed treatment of difficult bladder, urethra and prostate conditions refractory to conventional therapy. This book examines the use of BoNT in the genitourinary tract.

In the fields of data mining and control, the huge amount of unstructured data and the presence of uncertainty in system descriptions have always been critical issues.

Rigidly Framed Earth Retaining Structures

This book offers a concise yet thorough overview of established scientific knowledge about ozone in the atmosphere, presenting both ozone changes and trends in the stratosphere, as well as the effects of overabundance in the troposphere including photosmog.

This book provides an overview of how international law is constructed through diverse macro and microprocesses that expand its traditional subjects and sources, with the attribution of sovereign capacity and power to the international plane.

This user-friendly source of up-to-date information on a rapidly expanding field emphasizes the practical applications of molecular testing in the diagnosis and management of dermatological conditions. It features detailed guidance on test interpretation.

As well as coverage of the base concepts in thin film theory, this volume has details of many of the latest results in the field, including materials mixtures and nanostructured coatings. It includes dedicated software packages for materials characterization.

This superbly illustrated guide to using flaps in head and neck reconstruction presents the anatomy of each area through detailed drawings and cadaveric imagery drawn from the author's own practice as a maxillofacial surgeon and anatomy professor.

The authors describe systematic methods for uncovering scientific laws a priori, on the basis of intuition, or "Gedanken Experiments". Mathematical expressions of scientific laws are, by convention, constrained by the rule that their form must be invariant with changes of the units of their variables.
