Total Performance Scorecard : Réconcilier l'homme et l'entreprise
Le tableau de bord de la performance totale vise le développement maximum de tous les collaborateurs de l'entreprise et l'utilisation optimale de leurs talents en vue de la meilleure performance de l'entreprise. Cette approche diffère sur des points essentiels des concepts de gestion traditionnels. Le TBPT prend comme point de départ la connaissance de soi de l'individu pour ensuite mettre celle-ci en synergie avec la stratégie de l'entreprise. Cette manière de procéder favorise la durabilité des actions d'amélioration et de changement qui seront mises en oeuvre par la suite. En fin de compte, l'amélioration et le changement véritables au niveau de l'entreprise ne peuvent être réalisés que si l'individu opère un changement intérieur.
Total Knee Arthroplasty : A Guide to Get Better Performance
"Take away my knee pain and give me better motion". This is what the arthritic patient expects from a Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). By virtue of standardization of the TKA procedure, surgeons can nowadays solve the pain issue for the majority of the patients. Restoration of function is a goal of a different order and forms the scope of this book. The editors confronted today's leading knee surgeons with the limitations of current surgical techniques and technology. They challenged them to define new thresholds of functional capacity after Total Knee Arthroplasty. "A guide to get better performance in TKA" describes the cutting edge in surgical techniques, prosthetic design and achievement of excellent function for these patients.
Tort Law of the European Community
This publication deals with the European dimension of tort law. It provides a critical analysis of the acquis communautaire, asking if and to what extent the provisions and case law in the field of tort law are based on a conclusive system and are in accord with the national legal systems. It thus evaluates whether the acquis communautaire form the beginning of a comprehensive and coherent EC tort law or if the single directives and regulations are contradictory and lack a general concept that is yet to be found.
Topology-based in Methods in Visualization
Topology-based methods are built on the idea of abstracting characteristic structures such as the topological skeleton from the data and to construct the visualizations accordingly. There are currently new demands for and renewed interest in topology-based visualization solutions. This book presents 13 peer-reviewed papers as written results from the 2005 workshop “Topology-Based Methods in Visualization” that was initiated to enable additional stimulation in this field. It contains a longer chapter dedicated to a survey of the state-of-the-art, as well as a great deal of original work by leading experts that has not been published before, spanning both theory and applications.
Topology in Condensed Matter
This book reports new results in condensed matter physics for which topological methods and ideas are important. It considers, on the one hand, recently discovered systems such as carbon nanocrystals and, on the other hand, new topological methods used to describe more traditional systems such as the Fermi surfaces of normal metals, liquid crystals and quasicrystals. The authors of the book are renowned specialists in their fields and present the results of ongoing research, some of it obtained only very recently and not yet published in monograph form.

Topological and Bivariant K-theory
Topological K-theory is one of the most important invariants for noncommutative algebras equipped with a suitable topology or bornology. Bott periodicity, homotopy invariance, and various long exact sequences distinguish it from algebraic K-theory.We describe a bivariant K-theory for bornological algebras, which provides a vast generalization of topological K-theory. In addition, we discuss other approaches to bivariant K-theories for operator algebras.
Topics in Hyposonic Flow Theory
Hyposonic fluid flows, characterized by a low Mach number, are mainly linked with geophysical and environmental fluid flows. In addition they are relevant to engineers because of their connection with aerodynamics. The book brings together insights derived from mathematically rigorous results and combines them with a number of realistic fluid flow situations. Asymptotic analytic solutions for the low-Mach number cases are developed to provide both insights into the underlying physics as well as benchmarks for numerical computations.

Topics in Applied Macrodynamic Theory
This book presents topics in applied dynamic macrotheory for closed and open economies. The authors give an advanced treatment of macroeconomic topics such as the Phillips curve, forward and backward looking behavior, open economy macrodynamics, structural macroeconometric model building as well as the empirics of Keynesian oriented macro models. They start from the closed economy and consider open economies for fixed and flexible exchange rate systems with free international capital flows later on. The dynamics of open economies in the context of interacting two country models are treated as well. The macrofounded approach extends and integrates non-market-clearing traditions in macrodynamics. It is compared to New Keynesian approaches which are generally rigorously microfounded, but often neglect to study macroeconomic feedback mechanisms (that may be stabilizing or destabilizing).
Topical treatments of skin infection
A hospital-acquired infection, also known as a nosocomial infection, is an infection that is usually transmitted after hospitalization and appears within 48 hours of hospitalization. Bacteria, fungi, and viruses can cause deep infections in healthcare. Bacteria alone cause about 90 percent of these cases, and there are many types of HAI including SSI, which is defined as an infection that occurs up to 30 days after surgery and affects either the incision or the deeper tissues in the operation...

Top 10 Challenges of Big Data Analytics
The application of big data analytics in all fields of research is a critical driver for the competitiveness of all countries in the modern world. Currently, governments and industry generate large amounts of data driven by record keeping, compliance, regulations, data privacy, and dynamic requirements, and thus there is a need to create better mechanisms to analyse data, and hence support organizational development, as well as providing aid to policymakers' decision-making processes. The book is focused on different sectors of activity (i.e. the Health sector, Public Administration, the Education sector, among others), and on different economic dimensions (i.e. Entrepreneurship, and Innovation) and links big data analytics to different fields of research, such as artificial intelligence and other emergent technologies; which are challenging organisations, governments, and societies, with the need to face the new imperative of being prepared for the very uncertain and tremendously complex future â in which big data analytics will play a very decisive and active role.
Tooth Wear Interceptive treatment approach with minimally invasive protocols
A comprehensive review of clinical procedures that can help the practitioner select a proper protocol and suitable materials to more selectively treat the various forms of tooth wear. This “cookbook” is based on the authors’ more than 20 years of experienced treating this pathology. The main focus is the prevention of tooth wear progression with the use of noninvasive and affordable procedures in the proper timeframe, bearing in mind that comprehending this pathology is a lifelong endeavor. For cases where there was no opportunity to intervene early enough, you will also find “recipes” for the proper use of indirect and CAD/CAM-produced restorations.
Tooth wear : An authoritative reference for dental professionals and students
This book, now in an extensively revised third edition, is a superbly illustrated and authoritative reference on tooth wear and its management. Tooth wear is becoming an increasing problem as people are living longer and keeping their teeth for longer, with recent UK surveys showing that at least 75% of adults and more than 50% of children now have some form of identifiable tooth wear. This latest edition addresses this growing challenge by describing practical clinical techniques that will aid identification of the aetiological factors responsible for erosion, attrition and abrasion and by offering guidance in the planning and delivery of appropriate patient care.
Tooth preparations : Science and art
