Information Systems Outsourcing: Enduring Themes, Global Challenges, and Process Opportunities By Rudy Hirschheim, Armin Heinzl, Jens Dibbern
Publisher: Springer 2009-04-01 | 594 Pages | ISBN: 3540888500 | PDF | 5.4 MB

The notion of outsourcing – making arrangements with an external entity for the provision of goods or services to supplement or replace internal efforts – has been around for centuries. The outsourcing of information systems (IS) is however a much newer concept but one which has been growing dramatically. This book attempts to synthesize what is known about IS outsourcing by dividing the subject in three interrelated parts: (1) Traditional Information Technology Outsourcing, (2) Information Technolgy Offshoring, and (3) Business Process Outsourcing. The book should be of interest to all academics and students in the field of Information Systems as well as corporate executives and professionals who seek a more profound analysis and understanding of the underlying factors and mechanisms of outsourcing.

Rich Newman, "Cinematic Game Secrets for Creative Directors and Producers: Inspired Techniques From Industry Legends"
Focal Press | 2008-10-24 | ISBN: 0240810716 | 248 pages | PDF | 6,5 MB

Cinematography for Games covers the space between the game and film industries by pointing out the most relevant cinematic techniques in today's hottest games, and including interviews with the game industry's greatest luminaries (including Will Wright: Sims legend, Harvey Smith, legendary game Deus Ex, Warren Spector creator of one of the original game companies, Origin).






The convergence of games and film is a widely discussed and debated topic in the game industry. Many major publishers, along with some high-profile directors (John Woo, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Tony Scott) are exploring the middle ground between the industries. This book introduces game producers and directors to the tried and true techniques cinematographers have relied on for years.

Game developers learn how to create compelling video games by: developing quality stories and characters; visualizing scenes within the game through the eyes of a cinematographer; using tried and true film industry methods for casting, voice-over, direction, and production.

The book will also feature screen shots from some of today's hottest titles that illustrate key cinematic concepts, as well as advice from successful game industry professionals already using these techniques.

--Author, Rich Newman has worked in the film industry(Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Alamo) and video game industry (Midway Games) for over five years and knows how to make the most of the convergence of technologies.

--With advice from some of the biggest names in the game world: ***Richard Rouse III***, Director of Game Design, Midway Games , ***Warren Spector*** creator of one of the original game companies, Origin, and ***Noah Falstein***, columnist, Game Developer magazine.

--With examples from today's hottest game titles (courtesy of GamingTrend) to illustrate film techniques used in games, like the use of narrow focus in cinematography, or over-the-shoulder viewpoint style of viewpoint that makes the game have a documentary -like quality.

--Interviews, case studies, and helpful glossary of terms all included.

Aid for Trade and Development By Dominique Njinkeu, Hugo Cameron
Publisher: Cambridge University Press | ISBN: 0521889510 | edition 2007 | PDF | 448 pages | 2,01 mb

Following in the wake of the World Trade Organization's engagement with Aid for Trade, this book brings together a range of perspectives around this emerging issue. The collection of articles in this volume presents many of the ideas elaborated through research conducted by International Lawyers and Economists Against Poverty (ILEAP) since 2005 and is intended to provide a basis for further study. Since many of the contributions on aid for trade to date have come from the North, the book looks to deepen the debate by forwarding voices and experiences from the South. The book traces the evolution of Aid for Trade from its beginnings and examines the global architecture, modalities, and costs associated with its implementation. Drawing on lessons from national and regional experiences, this book further explores ways in which Aid for Trade can both move forward and become a real tool for poverty reduction in beneficiary countries.

Dave Parker, "Microgeneration:: Low energy strategies for larger buildings"
Architectural Press | 2008 | ISBN: 0750684704 | 224 pages | PDF | 5,5 MB

Spiralling fuel costs, frequent power cuts, 'energy wars' with fuel rich countries holding consumers to ransom - these are just some of the issues that are helping to ensure that microgeneration of power, at the individual building level, is becoming a more and more attractive option to 'grid power'.

In this book author Dave Parker describes the many and varied microgeneration options, from wind turbines and solar power to biomass and heatsinks, and even gives advice on how architects and developers can best access the increasingly large amount of government funding to help implement these strategies.





This book can help those in the building and construction industry to really make a difference in the fight against climate change, by explaining how to utilise the technology already within our reach.

* Comprehensive review of the latest technology available
* Shows how to assess/compare/combine the merits of the available systems
* Gives hard information on how to adopt appropriate microgeneration technology for a specific project

Contemporary Debates in Philosophy of Science By Christopher Hitchcock
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell 2009 | 368 Pages | ISBN 1405101512 | PDF | 1.25 MB

Contemporary Debates in Philosophy of Science features original essays on some of the most hotly debated issues in the field. Are there laws of social science? Are causes physically connected to their effects? Is the mind a system of modules shaped by natural selection?

Eight central questions shape the volume, with each question treated by a pair of opposing essays. This distinctive format offers readers a unique opportunity to observe philosophers engaging in head-to-head debate. Together, the essays provide an accessible introduction to the major topics in contemporary philosophy of science, including empiricism, confirmation, realism, laws, causation, and explanation.




Showcasing original arguments for well-defined positions, as well as clear and concise statements of sophisticated philosophical views, this volume is an excellent resource for professional philosophers and students alike.



Summary: Partial synopsis
Rating: 4

Belief in unobservables. The realist maintains that only the truth of our scientific theories can explain their great success ("no miracles"). Three alternative explanations are proposed. (1) A false theory may be successful because it is empirically equivalent to a true theory. Realist: this assumes that truth is manifested at the empirical level, which is the realist assumption. Antirealist: so what? This assumption is not enough to support the no miracles argument. (2) Present theories are successful because scientific theories are selected in a manner akin to evolution. Realist: this is not an alternative to the no miracles argument because it explains only why we have ended up with good theories, not what it is about these particular theories that make them successful. Antirealist: the explanation of their success is the manner in which they interact with empirical data, just as the explanation of the success of an organism is the manner in which it interacts with the environment (not its divine "perfection"). (3) The success of a theory is explained by the fact that the world behaves as if it this theory was true. Realist: this in hardly an explanation at all since it does not explain how, it does not explain the mechanism. Antirealist: It is a teleological explanation of sorts. Realists are rigging the debate in their favour by assuming that explanations which postulates the existence of entities is superior. (Cf. Newton vs. Cartesians on action at a distance.) An even stronger claim in this vein: the realist no miracles argument is circular since it assumes that explanatory virtues of hypotheses are reasons for believing them. This rule (inference to best explanation) is commonsensical and accepted by all in the empirical domain but why should we take its scope to extend to the domain of unobservables? Another antirealist challenge: to counter pessimistic induction from historical cases (e.g. Newton/Einstein) the realist needs a notion of approximate truth, which (in order to support the no miracles argument) must be strong enough to explain the success of science.

Modularity of mind. A priori arguments for modularity: evolution operates in (adaptive) increments; a general-purpose computer mind would be computationally intractable. Empirical arguments: human pathological evidence indicates that everything dissociates from everything else; children learn complex things very early despite poverty of stimulus. Example explained by desire-generating module but not general-purpose computer: high-status women want sons, low-status women want daughters, where high-status men do most of the breeding (humans, deer). The strongest objections attack the a priori arguments. It is not obvious that a general-purpose computer would be intractable once one considers it benefits in a variable environment and takes into account such things as the (possibly low) cost of mistakes. Complex behaviour requires some sort of metamodule so the modularists have not really solve the computability problem. They also assume a one-to-one relationship between function and module, i.e., that evolution "bolts on" new functions one by one to the existing repertoire. But evolution not only adds but also reforms drastically: feathers were developed for thermal regulation then used for flight; limbs for swimming, walking, flying. To assume that each module develops independently also ignores developmental entrenchment.

Florian Kramer, "Passive Sicherheit von Kraftfahrzeugen: Biomechanik - Simulation - Sicherheit im Entwicklungsprozess"
Vieweg+Teubner | 2008 | ISBN: 383480536X | 410 pages | PDF | 25 MB

Die Bedeutung der passiven Sicherheit von Kraftfahrzeugen wird durch das das seit vielen Jahren anhaltende öffentliche Interesse manifestiert. So ist in Umfrageergebnissen von Autofahrern und potentiellen Käufern regelmäßig die Sicherheit von Kraftfahrzeugen unter den ersten drei genannten Punkten wiederzufinden.



Welche ständig wachsende Bedeutung die passive Sicherheit von Kraftfahrzeugen heute hat, erkennt man an den in den letzten Jahren eingeführten entscheidenden Innovationen, die heute jedoch als Selbstverständlichkeit hingenommen werden, wie Überlebensraum durch steife Fahrgastzellen, kompatible, energieabsorbierende Deformationsstrukturen, entschärfte Lenkeinrichtung, gepolsterte Armaturentafel, Sicherheitsgurt und Airbag-System, jetzt sogar der Seiten-Airbag zum Schutz des Insassen bei Seitenkollisionen.

Ivan Chee-Hong Lai, Minoru Fujishima, "Design and Modeling of Millimeter-wave CMOS Circuits for Wireless Transceivers: Era of Sub-100nm Technology"
Springer | 2008-04-28 | ISBN: 1402069987 | 184 pages | PDF | 3,3 MB

Design and Modeling of Millimeter-wave CMOS Circuits for Wireless Transceivers describes in detail some of the interesting developments in CMOS millimetre-wave circuit design. This includes the re-emergence of the slow-wave technique used on passive devices, the license-free 60GHz band circuit blocks and a 76GHz voltage-controlled oscillator suitable for vehicular radar applications.




All circuit solutions described are suitable for digital CMOS technology. Digital CMOS technology developments driven by Moore s law make it an inevitable solution for low cost and high volume products in the marketplace. Explosion of the consumer wireless applications further makes this subject a hot topic of the day.

The book begins with a brief history of millimetre-wave research and how the silicon transistor is born. Originally meant for different purposes, the two technologies converged and found its way into advanced chip designs. The second part of the book describes the most important passive devices used in millimetre-wave CMOS circuits. Part three uses these passive devices and builds circuit blocks for the wireless transceiver. The book completes with a comprehensive list of references for further readings.

Design and Modeling of Millimeter-wave CMOS Circuits for Wireless Transceivers is useful to show the analogue IC designer the issues involved in making the leap to millimetre-wave circuit designs. The graduate student and researcher can also use it as a starting point to understand the subject or proceed to innovative from the works described herein.

Publisher: Wiley | 2007 | ISBN 0470152893 | PDF | 228 pages | 2 MB

My profession has lead me to read many, many real estate investing books and truth be told, most are mediocre at best -- this book is not one of those! I don't know either Ms. Patton, or Mr. Ryan, but I have read Ms. Patton's previous book and I think that this one is even better. In my opinion, Ms. Patton and Mr. Ryan have managed to put together a very timely, readable and informative book. Not just a rehash of the basics, this book offers information that actually advances the base of knowledge available to the average investor.

With a Jan 2000 release date, the technology within is as current as of about late summer 1999. I appreciated that she gave each component it's own chapter. There is an excellent section on home networking as well. The book is mostly on Pentium class computers but she does give an honorable mention to the x86's. Overall, this is the finest computer book I've ever read.. almost riveting! Buy this book!" - reader's review.

Publisher: Wiley | Pages: 422 | 2008-12-03 | ISBN 0470779462 | PDF | 4 MB

An advanced textbook covering the fundamental theory of RF power amplifiers and their uses, this book provides essential guidance for design procedures. The introduction explains the basic theory of RF power amplifiers besides providing the basic classification of the different types of RF power amplifier. It then systematically dedicates a chapter to each different of RF power amplifier covering A, B and C, D (full-bridge and half-bridge types), E (zero-voltage-switching and zero-current-switching), F and DE amplifiers. Throughout this comprehensive guide, the optimal operating conditions are explored and the possible causes for suboptimum operation explained. The book then considers integrated inductors and linearization techniques and LC Oscillators in the concluding chapters.

The gm/ID Design Methodology for CMOS Analog Low Power Integrated
Publisher: Springer | Pages: 225 | 2009-03 | ISBN 0387471006 | PDF | 5 MB

The design of analogue integrated circuits (CMOS) requires fixing transistor sizes and current magnitudes in order to reach goal(s) such as, a given gain-bandwidth product, slew-rate, min. power consumption, etc. Designers achieve these generally by taking advantage of their own experience while performing lots of simulations and/or optimisations. How to tackle the problem when experience is lacking? How to size an Operational Amplifier, for instance, when some transistors operate in strong inversion, other in moderate or weak inversion?






The objective of the book is to suggest straightforward methodologies at the earliest possible design stage and find currents and sizes very close to optimality. The methodology takes advantage of compact MOS models while following classical design procedures. The key feature is the set of inversion indeces of some transistors, called the 'active' transistors. These indeces are used in order to build the so-called performance space that complies with the dominant constraints. The other transistors are contingent to the first group and their sizes fixed through additional constraints. The idea is to postpone final decisions until some high level figures like band width, overal gain, etc. are met simultaneously.

Clément M. Lefebvre, "Electric power generation, transmission and efficiency"
Publisher:Nova Science Publishers | ISBN: 1600219799 | 2008 | PDF | 257 pages | 5 Mb PDF

Book Description:
This book presents new and important research on electric power and its generation, transmission and efficiency. The world is becoming increasingly electrified. For the foreseeable future, coal will continue to be the dominant fuel used for electric power production. The low cost and abundance of coal is one of the primary reasons for this. Electric power transmission, a process in the delivery of electricity to consumers, is the bulk transfer of electrical power. Typically, power transmission is between the power plant and a substation near a populated area. Electricity distribution is the delivery from the substation to the consumers. Due to the large amount of power involved, transmission normally takes place at high voltage (110 kV or above). Electricity is usually transmitted over long distance through overhead power transmission lines. Underground power transmission is used only in densely populated areas due to its high cost of installation and maintenance, and because the high reactive power gain produces large charging currents and difficulties in voltage management.





A power transmission system is sometimes referred to colloquially as a "grid"; however, for reasons of economy, the network is rarely a true grid. Redundant paths and lines are provided so that power can be routed from any power plant to any load center, through a variety of routes, based on the economics of the transmission path and the cost of power. Much analysis is done by transmission companies to determine the maximum reliable capacity of each line, which, due to system stability considerations, may be less than the physical or thermal limit of the line. Deregulation of electricity companies in many countries has led to renewed interest in reliable economic design of transmission networks.

Michel Le Bellac, "Physique quantique"
EDP Sciences | 2007 | ISBN: 2868839983 | 742 pages | PDF | 4,1 MB

La physique quantique permet de comprendre la nature profonde des phénomènes qui régissent le comportement des solides, des semi-conducteurs, des atomes, des particules élémentaires et de la lumière. Cette nouvelle édition de Physique quantique, qui contient trois nouveaux chapitres et de nombreuses mises à jour, offre tout d'abord une approche originale permettant de traiter immédiatement et de façon simple des applications importantes comme l'atome à deux niveaux, le laser ou la résonance magnétique nucléaire. Le formalisme est ensuite développé en privilégiant l'utilisation des symétries, et les applications usuelles comme la théorie du moment angulaire, les approximations semi-classiques, la théorie de la diffusion ou la physique des atomes et des molécules sont exposées en détail.





L'ouvrage accorde aussi une large place à des domaines nouveaux apparus depuis une vingtaine d'années et qui occupent aujourd'hui le devant de la scène : décohérence, cryptographie et information quantiques, refroidissement d'atomes par laser, condensats de Bose-Einstein, électrodynamique en cavité, états du champ électromagnétique..., sujets qui ne sont pas traités dans la plupart des manuels existants.
Ce livre s'adresse aux étudiants de master de physique et aux élèves des écoles d'ingénieurs. Il est également susceptible d'intéresser un large public de physiciens, chercheurs ou enseignants, qui souhaitent s'initier aux développements récents de la physique quantique.

"...an important new look at the evolution of child rearing among the global middle class. Honore’s final words to parents are comforting: Trust your instincts and let your children be children. There’s time enough for all that achievement later." -- Oregonian





"Honoré presents a list of ways in which parents all over the developed world have long been robbing their children of their childhoods by inserting themselves into every facet of their children’s lives. . . . Joining a crowded field of child-rearing books, this is an excellent choice." -- Library Journal

Susan Powers "I5/OS Diagnostic Tools for System Administrators"
IBM.Com/Redbooks | 2008-01 | ISBN: 0738486779 | 572 pages | PDF | 2.25 MB

Although the System i servers rate over a 99.9% availability factor, there are times when problems occur. Some problems limit the use of a device, program, or application. More severe and pervasive problems limit the use of more components. In either circumstance, the amount of time a component is unavailable relates directly to the actions taken to manage the situation. The ability to resolve problems depends on the tools that are available, the knowledge (and attitude) of the worker, the symptoms and nature of the problem at hand, and other factors.



This book is designed to introduce you to the problem determination aids used in an i5/OS® environment. You can become familiar with the tools that are available and the instructions for how each one works. As proficiency is built with the use of each tool and familiarity with the procedures, efficiency of the system operator and service personnel increases.
Consider this book a “Don’t Panic, Read Me First” guide to help you support System i models. It discusses problem analysis, problem determination, and problem source identification. And it offers you step-by-step instructions that show you how to use the i5/OS problem determination aids to produce detailed problem information...

Duncan Brown, Nick Hayes - Influencer Marketing:
Who Really Influences Your Customers?
Butterworth-Heinemann | 2008 | ISBN:0750686006 | Pages: 256 | PDF | 2.09 MB

Influencer Marketing is the most important new approach to marketing in a decade for those professionals at the leading edge of purchasing decision making. It shows that key decision makers in all major markets operate within communities of influencers- because major decisions are too complex and risky to taken in isolation.
The ecosystems this creates are full of these critically important people, whose impact on purchasing decisions is both pivotal and misunderstood. This new book demonstrates that-
As mass media impact wanes so the role of influencers grows - marketers need to know why and how to use this knowledge





The impact of blogs, wikis and other social media is that they enable new influencers to emerge, and disperse traditional sources of influence.
Large and small businesses worldwide pour billions of pounds each year into influencing what they think are their influencers. This book shows you that most of that money is being spent on the wrong people, leaving the real influencers all too often untouched.
Influencers do not do the buying, are not obvious, cannot be bought, and start off neutral - which is why their potential to affect sales is so great
Influencers are not all equal - they can be assessed, ranked and prioritised to be used effectively
Influencers can be influenced the question is how to get to them to generate market awareness, leads and address sales barriers
Influencer marketing is closely related to the relentless rise and success of word of mouth (WOM) and relationship marketing, and is now established as one of the armoury of new techniques professionals must use. For all those involved in marketing and sales this book will be an essential analysis of how to identify who has influence, how they apply it, and how you can turn it to your advantage.
Influencer Marketing is one of the first books to give an overview of one of the most important and fastest growing marketing techniques to have emerged in the last ten years.
Influencer Marketing is the discipline of engaging with key individuals in order to influence a market?s buying propensity. This may be through increasing awareness, creating sales leads and addressing sales objections through marketing activities. Importantly, influencers may not be buyers, and may not actually make the final buying decision. But they influence decision makers through their advice, experience, opinion and research.
