Book Description

The most common trauma that occurs in western civilization is the road traffic accident. Yet medical, psychological and legal professionals have to date largely ignored this all too common horror. In the fall of 1997, the First International Conference was held that was dedicated exclusively to the psychological impact of road traffic accidents (RTAs). This event brought, for the first time ever, the leading experts from all over the world to share and develop their ideas. This provided the catalyst of ideas and information for this volume. The volume as a result contains some of the most current information available on this topic to date.

This book contains comprehensive overviews of the common medical and psychiatric disorders that follow RTAs. The book addresses the major psychological disorders of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Acute Stress Disorder, with new data being presented from the leading research centers in the world. Reviews and preliminary data from some of the ongoing controlled clinical treatment trials are shared, as well as how the medical and psychiatric disorders interact with the role of the lawyers and insurers.

Book Description

Radical technological changes (so-called "technology shocks") frequently disrupt the competitive market structure. New entrants appear, industries need to be redefined, incumbents lose their positions or vanish completely. Fast moving industries - like the often quoted example of the semiconductor industry - have preferably been analyzed for these phenomena. But do the findings hold for industries with longer development cycles like the global machine tool industry?
Here, the multivariate analysis is used to find out what management needs to focus on in order to lead companies through the technology shocks. The research for this book builds on in-depth interviews with 100 experts and decision makers from the machine tool industry involved in technology shocks and statistical analysis of detailed quantitative surveys collected from 58 companies. In several instances the results challenge classical teaching of technology management.
Adrian J. Slywotzky - US top selling business author and one of the most distinguished intellectual leaders in business - comments:
"In Technology Shocks, Heinrich Arnold develops a very useful model for analyzing technology shocks, and for focusing on those factors that will enable a company to navigate through these shocks successfully, and repeatedly. Although this work is focused on technology, its thinking has useful implications beyond technology shocks. It provides ideas that managers can use to protect their firms when they are faced with any type of discontinuity, technology-based or not".

Navigate your company through Technology Shocks successfully.......2004-09-20

What do best seller writer Adrian J. Slywotzky's in his highly recommended "Value Migration", McGraw-Hill Harvard Business School Press, and Heinrich M. Arnold's "Technology Shocks", published in 2003 at Springer, have in common?
Besides that Slywotzky has written the cover note for "Technology Shocks", both books describe the danger for company leaders of not being prepared for the changes in markets. Especially when so called disruptive, novel technologies punctuate the equilibrium of the carefully established value proposition on the market. It happens to the machine tool industry as well as to the telecom, computer or biotechnology industries. Slywotzky described this with the value migration towards novel solutions capturing significant attention from customers. Arnold demonstrates that these upcoming disruptive new solutions ("Technology Shocks") can even have a value proposition disappear completely and wipe out the slow movers in industry. Where Slywotzky addresses the need of a broader audience to get entertained during reading, Arnold's "Technology Shocks" precisely X-rays the situation in a scientific depth hardly seen before. He has in a methodically excellent way extracted the wisdom of decision makers from three continents (North America, Europe and Japan) for the reader prepared to stay on the winning side. The final guidance of Slywotzky results in "pattern recognition", which still leaves the reader alone to give direct orders for successful guiding their companies through stormy weathers. Arnold's carefully evaluated data based on his scientific analysis given to scientists as well as executive levels alike. These careful data evaluation makes "Technology Shocks" so meaningful for benchmarking the own decision process even if your industry is not directly targeted in the book. It paves the road towards a successful business strategy avoiding the danger of losing the race of the survival of the fittest.
"Technology Shocks" is not a book you can ready for leisure and feel entertained like in "Value Migration". It demands your full attention, but for somebody ready to read through it, the paid prize for the book is shockingly low for the value you can create with the conclusions you gain and empirical methods you are carried through. Technology Shocks win its audience through its scientific approach and analysis. At the end you will follow Adrian J. Slywotzkys comments on "Technology Shocks" and be ready to navigate through these shocks successfully and repeatedly - maybe you have to face them starting from tomorrow.

Book Description

As we approach the end of the twentieth century, public and scientific attention is focusing increasingly on the detection and assessment of changes in our environment. This unique volume addresses the potential implications of global warming for fisheries and the societies which depend on them. Using a ‘forecasting by analogy’ approach, which draws upon experiences from the recent past in coping with regional fluctuations in the abundance or availability of living marine resources, it is shown how we might be able to assess our ability to respond to the consequences of future environmental changes induced by a potential global warming. The book takes the form of a series of integrated case studies from around the globe, which are presented by an interdisciplinary group of leading researchers. This important and thought-provoking volume will be of interest to a wide range of scientists working in the fields of biology, marine and environmental science, climatology, economics and anthropology, as well as resource managers and policy makers concerned with the health and future of living marine resources.

Fisheries and the Changing Climate.......2000-04-22

Although generic and unspecific, Dr. Glantz brings up a lot of issues about changes that will be required in fishing techniques and gear. This book is easy to read and provocative. Due to the "uncertainty factor" regarding changes in ocean circulation patterns, there is much not yet known (even since the publication date), despite scientist's best efforts to do predictive modeling. This book points to areas that will require further research, and is one of the few books written addressing this topic.

Book Description

Addressing the need for an up-to-date reference on silicon devices and heterostructures, Beyond the Desert 99 reviews the technology used to grow and characterize Goup IV alloy films. It covers the theory, device design, and simulation of heterojunction transistors, emphasizing their relevance in developing the technologies involving strained layers; device design and simulation of conventional silicon bipolar transistors and SiGe HBTs at room and low temperatures; and device design and simulation for MOSFETs, including SiGe and strained-Si channel MOSFETs. The book concludes with simulations and examples of different applications. It provides a unified reference for scientists and engineers investigating the use of SiGe and strained silicon in a new generation of high-speed circuit applications.
