This book deals with methodological issues in the field of management and industrial engineering. It aims to answer the following questions that researchers face every time they look to develop their research: How can we design a research project? What kind of paradigm should we follow? Should we develop a qualitative / phenomenological research or a quantitative / positivistic one? What technics for data collections can we use? Should we use the entire population or a sample? What kind of sampling techniques can we have? This book provides discussion and the exchange of information on principles strategies models techniques applications and methodological options possible to develop in research in management and industrial engineering. It communicates the latest developments and thinking on the research methodologies subject in the different areas worldwide. It seeks cultural and geographic diversity in studies highlighting research methodologies that canbe used in these different study areas. This book has a special interest in research on important issues that transcend the boundaries of single academic subjects. It presents contributions that challenge the paradigms and assumptions of individual disciplines or functions with chapters grounded in conceptual and / or empirical literature. The main aim of this book is to provide a channel of communication to disseminate knowledge between academics and researchers with a special focus on the management and industrial engineering fields. This book can serve as a useful reference for academics researchers managers engineers and other professionals in related matters with research methodologies. Contributors have identified the theoretical and practical implications of their methodological options to the development and improvement of their different study and research areas.

Sigma 65mm F2 DG Contemporary Lens for Sony E Mount + Creative Essentials Bundle Capture stunning detail with the Sigma 65mm F2 DG Contemporary Lens a full-frame prime designed for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Part of Sigma’s premium I Series this lens delivers exceptional resolution beautiful bokeh and refined build quality in a compact lightweight form—ideal for everyday shooting portraits street photography and video. Outstanding Optical Performance Engineered to match today’s high-resolution sensors the 65mm F2 uses SLD glass to effectively correct axial chromatic aberration and precision glass-molded aspherical elements to minimize spherical comatic and astigmatic aberrations. The result is edge-to-edge sharpness smooth background blur reduced vignetting and consistent performance even at wide apertures. Sigma’s Super Multi-Layer Coating suppresses flare and ghosting for high contrast even in backlit scenes. Fast Quiet Autofocus for Photo & Video A stepping motor AF system delivers fast accurate and virtually silent focusing—perfect for both stills and video.

This title is devoted to presenting some of the most important concepts and techniques for describing real-time systems and analyzing their behavior in order to enable the designer to achieve guarantees of temporal correctness. Topics addressed include mathematical models of real-time systems and associated formal verification techniques such as model checking probabilistic modeling and verification programming and description languages and validation approaches based on testing. With contributions from authors who are experts in their respective fields this will provide the reader with the state of the art in formal verification of real-time systems and an overview of available software tools.

This book is a well-illustrated and comprehensive guide to the etiology clinical manifestations diagnosis clinical management and prevention of dental caries. Current challenging problems in the field are analyzed and the latest research findings presented. After an introductory chapter on tooth development the relationships of biofilm and saliva to dental caries and the significance of the balance between demineralization and remineralization for the development of carious lesions are discussed. Subsequent chapters address the state of the art in diagnosis and treatment the implications of disease burden for prevention and the association between systemic diseases and dental caries. Dental Caries: Principles and Management is intended for dental school students practicing dentists and researchers in dentistry.
