Following on from previous publications in 1997, 2000 and 2003, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation) presents its fourth "Funding Ranking", an overview of the distribution of awards to universities and non-university research institutions in Germany. The scope of the report has increased considerably compared to previous editions. Alongside the report's central indicator - DFG awards per individual research institution - the document also covers a wide range of additional indicators regarding publicly financed research in one of the world's leading industrial countries. For the first time, the report also includes information on R&D funding for selected federal programmes, for thematic priorities within the European Union's Sixth Framework Programme, and for collaborative industrial research funded by the German Federation of Industrial Cooperative Research Associations "Otto von Guericke". The third party funding indicators, which each depict individual aspects of publicly financed research, represent in total approximately 80 percent of all public third party funding for university research.

Nancy T. de Grummond, Brunilde S. Ridgway, "From Pergamon to Sperlonga: Sculpture and Context (Hellenistic Culture and Society)"
English | 2001 | pages: 405 | ISBN: 0520223276 | PDF | 28,1 mb
This volume brings together the work of leading scholars on two of the most important, yet puzzling, extant ensembles of Hellenistic Age sculpture: the Great Altar at Pergamon, with its Gigantomachy and scenes from the life of Telephos, and the Cave at Sperlonga in Italy, with its epic themes connected especially with the adventures of Odysseus. From Pergamon to Sperlonga has three aims: to update the scholarship on two important monuments of ancient art and architecture; to debate questions of iconography, authorship, and date; and to broaden the scope of discussion on these monuments beyond the boundaries of studies done in the past. In addition, the volume brings forward new ideas about how these two monuments are connected and discusses possible means by which stylistic influences were transmitted between them.

Evidence Synthesis for Decision Making in Healthcare By Nicky J. Welton, Alexander J. Sutton, Nicola J. Cooper, Keith R. Abrams, A.E. Ades(auth.)
2012 | 293 Pages | ISBN: 047006109X | PDF | 3 MB
In the evaluation of healthcare, rigorous methods of quantitative assessment are necessary to establish interventions that are both effective and cost-effective. Usually a single study will not fully address these issues and it is desirable to synthesize evidence from multiple sources. This book aims to provide a practical guide to evidence synthesis for the purpose of decision making, starting with a simple single parameter model, where all studies estimate the same quantity (pairwise meta-analysis) and progressing to more complex multi-parameter structures (including meta-regression, mixed treatment comparisons, Markov models of disease progression, and epidemiology models). A comprehensive, coherent framework is adopted and estimated using Bayesian methods.Key features:A coherent approach to evidence synthesis from multiple sources.Focus is given to Bayesian methods for evidence synthesis that can be integrated within cost-effectiveness analyses in a probabilistic framework using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation.Provides methods to statistically combine evidence from a range of evidence structures.Emphasizes the importance of model critique and checking for evidence consistency.Presents numerous worked examples, exercises and solutions drawn from a variety of medical disciplines throughout the book.WinBUGS code is provided for all examples.Evidence Synthesis for Decision Making in Healthcare is intended for health economists, decision modelers, statisticians and others involved in evidence synthesis, health technology assessment, and economic evaluation of health technologies.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-16): Chapter 2 Bayesian Methods and WinBUGS (pages 17-42): Chapter 3 Introduction to Decision Models (pages 43-75): Chapter 4 Meta?Analysis Using Bayesian Methods (pages 76-93): Chapter 5 Exploring Between Study Heterogeneity (pages 94-114): Chapter 6 Model Critique and Evidence Consistency in Random Effects Meta?Analysis (pages 115-137): Chapter 7 Evidence Synthesis in a Decision Modelling Framework (pages 138-150): Chapter 8 Multi?Parameter Evidence Synthesis (pages 151-168): Chapter 9 Mixed and Indirect Treatment Comparisons (pages 169-192): Chapter 10 Markov Models (pages 193-226): Chapter 11 Generalised Evidence Synthesis (pages 227-250): Chapter 12 Expected Value of Information for Research Prioritization and Study Design (pages 251-269):

Joy Marsella, "Creating a New Civility "
English | ISBN: 1629221236 | 2020 | 175 pages | EPUB | 1206 KB
Why are people rude, nasty, and negative? Because, we are told, it works for them. Creating a New Civility makes a strong case that such conduct doesn't work in any lasting way. This timely book discusses how we, as a culture, can move away from negativity and create civility at both the personal and community levels. Using the metaphor of a journey, Joy Marsella proposes a series of practical steps to work toward a greater civility. Although the end of the journey results in the common good, the steps along the way―identity, mindfulness, listening, empathy, and reasoning―are also valuable destinations. Her model gently guides readers to develop their own insights and to integrate them into their daily lives.

Complexity Metrics in Engineering Design: Managing the Structure of Design Processes by Matthias Kreimeyer, Udo Lindemann
English | PDF | 2011 | 416 Pages | ISBN : 3642209629 | 15.2 MB
This book presents the results of several years' research work on how to characterize complexity in engineering design with a specific regard to dependency modeling. The 52 complexity metrics that are presented show different facets of how complexity takes shape in design processes. The metrics are supported by a modeling method and a measurement framework to employ the metrics in a goal-oriented manner. The detailed description of all involved metrics and models makes it possible to apply the analysis approach to common process modeling methodologies. Three case studies from automotive process management illustrate the application to facilitate the transfer to other cases in an industrial context. The comprehensive appendix supplies additional details and checklists for structural analysis to generate a complete overview of current means of structural analysis.

Bayesian nonparametrics has grown tremendously in the last three decades, especially in the last few years. This book is the first systematic treatment of Bayesian nonparametric methods and the theory behind them. While the book is of special interest to Bayesians, it will also appeal to statisticians in general because Bayesian nonparametrics offers a whole continuous spectrum of robust alternatives to purely parametric and purely nonparametric methods of classical statistics.
