Atlas Electrica: International Strategy
by Michael E. Porter Arturo CondoAtlas must decide whether to acquire La Indeca, increasing its Central American presence, or to focus on larger Latin American markets where higher growth is possible. In the year 2000, Jorge Rodriguez was in charge of Atlas Electrica, the largest home appliance firm in Central America. Although it had almost doubled its sales in the 1990s, by the end of the decade Atlas was experiencing a declining market share in its home region and facing increasing competition from outside the region, especially from Mexican and Korean multinationals. At the time, Atlas' main competitor in Central America, El Salvador-based Indeca, was up for sale. Atlas Electrica, based in Costa Rica, served more than a dozen Latin American countries. Since its establishment in 1961, it had served Central American markets with different types of home appliances, later focusing on white-goods for middle-income segments of Central American consumers. In the mid-1990s, through a strategic alliance with Sweden's AG Electrolux, Atlas had expanded to Latin American markets beyond Central America.

Atlas Gebitsslijtage
by F. Lobbezoo A. W. J. van Pelt C. M. Kreulen P. WetselaarDeze atlas laat, aan de hand van casussen, zien welk behandelspectrum de behandelaar van gebitsslijtage ter beschikking staat.Gebitsslijtage is een multifactoriële aandoening die leidt tot het verlies van de harde tandweefsels (glazuur, tandbeen en wortelcement). Gebitsslijtage lijkt steeds vaker voor te komen en vraagt derhalve om zorgvuldige diagnostiek en behandeling. In deze uitgave, met bijdragen van een groot aantal auteurs, wordt de lezer meegenomen langs de grote diversiteit aan verschijningsvormen die gebitsslijtage kenmerkt. Na een algemeen inleidend deel volgen 47 casussen, uiteenlopend van eenvoudig tot complex, die worden gepresenteerd met veel foto’s en illustraties van hoge kwaliteit. Volgens een éénduidige systematiek (volgens het Gebitsslijtage Beoordelings Systeem, GBS) komen in iedere casus aan bod: diagnostiek (kwantificatie en kwalificatie), zorgvraag, reden om een behandeling te starten, keuze van behandeling, uitvoering van de behandeling, prognose, nazorg en eventueel onderhoud. Ook wordt aangegeven wanneer verschillende benaderwijzen van de behandeling mogelijk zijn, en worden de voor-en nadelen benoemd. Soms kan een zorgverlener zelf behandelen, terwijl in andere gevallen een multidisciplinaire aanpak noodzakelijk is. Het boek is bedoeld voor tandartsen-algemeen practicus, gedifferentieerde tandartsen, orthodontisten, kaakchirurgen, tandtechnici en studenten tandheelkunde.Een unieke bundeling van kennis en ervaring! Redacteuren:Dr. Hans van Pelt verdeelt zijn werkzaamheden over het UMC Groningen waar hij is belast met onderwijs in Orale Functieleer en PRO Rotterdam, een verwijspraktijk voor prothetiek, restauratieve tandheelkunde en orthodontie.

Atlas Of Plant Viruses: Volume I
by Robert G. Francki R.I.B; MilneThis book assembles a comprehensive collection of plant virus electron micrographs of good quality, offers a consistent treatment, and backs the visual data with a consistent and comprehensive text. Although this book is primarily about the structure of virus particles and infected cells, the results of biochemical experiments are referred too when relevant, so that the virus particles described appear as part of a replicating complex. Similarly, infected cells are portrayed as active rather than static structures.

Atlas and Clinical Reference Guide for Corneal Topography
by Ming Wang Lance KuglerCorneal topography has become essentially a pattern recognition trade, best learned by viewing multiple images of representative patterns. In spite of this, currently available topography books focus only on the technology behind topography, or a particular application of topography, as opposed to presenting a comprehensive collection of topographic patterns that provide quick, consistent pattern recognition and identification. Drs. Wang and Kugler, along with Drs. Morgan and Boerman, look to fill this void with Atlas and Clinical Reference Guide for Corneal Topography.Atlas and Clinical Reference Guide for Corneal Topography is the first corneal topography book that lends itself to efficient image search and reference for busy clinicians at chair side. Organized into both map-based and disease-based sections, the book allows for quick reference in busy clinical situations. Images come from the commonly used topographers, the Zeiss Atlas and the Oculus Pentacam, but the principles of pattern recognition can be applied to any topographer. Due to the text’s large collection of topographic images and corresponding corneal conditions, Atlas and Clinical Reference Guide for Corneal Topography can be used side by side with the topographer.Designed as both a learning tool for students and a reference for clinicians to use when faced with a challenging topography interpretation, Atlas and Clinical Reference Guide for Corneal Topography will be appreciated by a wide spectrum of eye care professionals. General ophthalmologists, cataract and refractive surgeons, corneal specialists, optometrists, and ophthalmology residents and students will benefit from this invaluable atlas for corneal topography.

Atlas der Pädiatrischen Dermatologie
by Wolfram Sterry Ulrike Blume-Peytavi Helga Albrecht-Nebe Kathrin HillmannDieser Atlas verbindet als erster die beiden wichtigen Themengebiete der Pädiatrie und Dermatologie. Da sich das Erscheinungsbild von Hauterkrankungen in der Kindheit stark von dem im Erwachsenenalter unterscheiden kann, stellt dieses einzigartige Nachschlagewerk eine wichtige Quelle sowohl für Dermatologen als auch Pädiater dar. Der Schwerpunkt der Diagnostik von Hauterkrankungen beim Kind liegt insbesondere auf der morphologischen Befunderhebung und ihrer lokalisations- und altersabhängigen Manifestation. Ist die exakte klinische Beurteilung und differenzialdiagnostische Abgrenzung erfolgt, kann sie dem Kind häufig invasive Eingriffe zur Diagnosefindung ersparen. Hier setzt der vorliegende Atlas an. Jahrzehntelange klinische Erfahrung der drei Autoren findet in diesem Atlas ihren Ausdruck. Er lebt von seinen Abbildungen, die ihn zu einem einzigartigen Nachschlagewerk machen, das schnell den diagnostischen Blick trainiert und schult. Exzellent und umfangreich bebildert mit genauen Befundbeschreibungen und ausführlichen Differenzialdiagnosen versehen, führt der Atlas schnell von den Hauptmerkmalen, über diagnostische Kriterien, sicher und einfach zur Diagnose und sollte somit in keiner Praxis fehlen.

Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence
by Kate CrawfordThe hidden costs of artificial intelligence, from natural resources and labor to privacy, equality, and freedom&“Eloquent, clear and profound—this volume is a classic for our times. It draws our attention away from the bright shiny objects of the new colonialism through elucidating the social, material and political dimensions of Artificial Intelligence.&”—Geoffrey C. Bowker, University of California, Irvine What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? In this book Kate Crawford reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased racial, gender, and economic inequality. Drawing on more than a decade of research, award‑winning science, and technology, Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the energy and minerals needed to build and sustain its infrastructure, to the exploited workers behind &“automated&” services, to the data AI collects from us. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a political and a material perspective on what it takes to make artificial intelligence and where it goes wrong. While technical systems present a veneer of objectivity, they are always systems of power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.
