Dieses Standardwerk definiert und erläutert das Konzept der Digitalen Fabrik (DF) und ihre Umsetzung bis hin zu Industrie 4.0. Für viele produzierenden Unternehmen stellt die DF eine entscheidende innovative Lösung zur Beschleunigung und Absicherung ihrer Produkt- und Produktionsentstehungsprozesse dar. Die DF bildet zudem eine wesentliche Basis für weitere Anwendungen und Lösungen im Rahmen von Industrie 4.0. Die Autoren beschreiben die Grundlagen für den Einsatz digitaler Planungsmethoden auf Basis des Gesamtkonzepts der DF. Dabei liegt der Fokus des Buches auf der frühzeitigen und mit allen Unternehmensprozessen abgestimmten Produktionsplanung und der Fabrikgestaltung. Hierzu werden die relevanten Prozesse mit ihren entsprechenden Modellen, Methoden und Werkzeugen umfassend erläutert. Dies beinhaltet auch ausführliche Hinweise zum Datenmanagement und zur Systemarchitektur. Besonders wird auf die Einführung der DF und ihre begleitenden organisatorischen Maßnahmen eingegangen. Beispiele aus den Bereichen Automobilbau, Maschinenbau, Luft- und Raumfahrt sowie Schiff- und Anlagenbau veranschaulichen die Digitale Fabrik und ihre Umsetzung. Ein umfangreiches Glossar rundet das Buch ab.

Environmental Organic Chemistry focuses on environmental factors that govern the processes that determine the fate of organic chemicals in natural and engineered systems. The information discovered is then applied to quantitatively assessing the environmental behaviour of organic chemicals. Now in its 2nd edition this book takes a more holistic view on physical-chemical properties of organic compounds. It includes new topics that address aspects of gas/solid partitioning, bioaccumulation, and transformations in the atmosphere. Structures chapters into basic and sophisticated sections Contains illustrative examples, problems and case studies Examines the fundamental aspects of organic, physical and inorganic chemistry - applied to environmentally relevant problems Addresses problems and case studies in one volume

Anatomy of the Horse has been accepted as a highly successful text-atlas of equine anatomy. - Fully illustrated with color line diagrams, including unique three-dimensional cross-sectional anatomy, together with radiographs and ultrasound scans - Includes topographic and surface anatomy - Tabular appendices of relational and functional anatomy Already acknowledged by students and teachers as an essential resource for learning and revision, this book will also be a valuable reference for veterinary practitioners and for those who own and value horses.

Hepatology -- a systematic overview The 1st edition was sold out within one year and a reprint became necessary. The 2nd edition has been updated, revised and extended to include some 900 pages. Unique - 477 top-quality coloured figures containing clinical and immunological findings, laparoscopic and and histologic features as well as imaging procedures - all figures directly integrated in the respective text; this results in a new form of learning from "seeing" to "understanding" Attractive - 306 tables in colour - coloured highlighting of important principles and statements for better reading - well-structured and systematic approaches support the content - derived from clinical hepatology for practical use by specialists and in hospital Instructive - detailed presentation of morphology and its integration in liver disease - precise recommendations for therapy and summarized descriptions of special forms of treatment (inlcuding a separate chapter on "Therapy" Manual - about 7,000 references are listed in full; quotations of significant historical publications - first authors of therapy procedures, methods, medical techniques and invasive measures are given as far as possible - comprehensive subject index and register of abbreviations

A thorough introduction to the interaction of atoms with optical and magnetic fields; for graduate students and researchers.

Political protest and social movements are ubiquitous phenomena. This book focuses on the current theoretical approaches that aim at explaining them: the theory of collective action, the resource mobilization perspective, political opportunity structure theory, the identity approach, the framing perspective, and the dynamics of contention approach. The book has three objectives: (1) Many basic concepts like political opportunities or identity are not clearly defined. It is further often a matter of interpretation what factors are supposed to affect which phenomena. The first aim is therefore to provide a detailed introduction to and a clear restatement of the theories. Only then is it possible to assess and improve them. (2) For each theory the major strengths and weaknesses are discussed, and various modifications and extensions are suggested. (3) Building on these analyses, it is shown how the theories can be integrated into a single theoretical paradigm: the structural-cognitive model.

Introducing a unique, modular approach to modeling polymerization reactions, this useful book will enable practitioners - chemists and engineers alike - to set up and structure their own models for simulation software like Predici®, C++, MatLab® or others. The generic modules are exemplified for concrete situations for various reactor types and reaction mechanisms and allow readers to quickly find their own point of interest - a highly useful information source for polymer engineers and researchers in industry and academia.

This book tackles some of the common and difficult problems encountered by the clinical neurologist by providing practical guidance. The contributors approach the clinical challenges presented from their own points of view. Up-to-date references support the claims for preferred therapeutical and surgical treatments.

There is still a widespread assumption that the Second World War was won in the West, when in fact the tide was first turned on the Eastern front. This book, written by two internationally known experts on the subject, argues that Hitler's Ostkrieg was the central event of the global conflict between the Allies and the Axis powers. However, this is much more than a traditional military political history: it deals with Nazi crimes and economic exploitation, with the psychological war. No less significantly, this volume provides a guide to the extensive literature on the war in the East, including largely unknown Soviet writing on the subject. Indispensable for military historians, but also for all scholars who approach this crucial period in world history from a socio-economic or cultural perspective.
