 Methodological Advances in Cross-National Surveys of Educational Achievement by Board on International Comparative Studies in Education, National Research Council, Andrew C. Porter and Adam Gamoran English | May 17, 2002 | ISBN-10: 0309083338 | 384 pages | PDF | 5,1 MB In November 2000, the Board on International Comparative Studies in Education (BICSE) held a symposium to draw on the wealth of experience gathered over a four-decade period, to evaluate improvement in the quality of the methodologies used in international studies, and to identify the most pressing methodological issues that remain to be solved. Since 1960, the United States has participated in 15 large-scale cross-national education surveys.  Mentoring 2.0: A Practitioner's Guide to Changing Lives by Sunil Unny Guptan 2018 | ISBN: 9352807626 | English | 256 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Mentors are magical people. They can potentially transform ordinary folks into amazing icons of achievement. The best of them can morph their subtle and exalted practice into an art form.  Elizabeth Lesser, "Marrow: A Love Story" English | 2016 | ISBN: 0062367633, 006236765X | 320 pages | EPUB | 0.636 MB 2017 Books for a Better Life Award Winner: Inspirational Memoir  Lukas Märtin, Jan Keim, Birgit Vogel-Heuser, "Managed Software Evolution" English | 2020 | ISBN: 1013275349 | PDF | pages: 439 | 13.0 mb This open access book presents the outcomes of the "Design for Future - Managed Software Evolution" priority program 1593, which was launched by the German Research Foundation ("Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)") to develop new approaches to software engineering with a specific focus on long-lived software systems. The different lifecycles of software and hardware platforms lead to interoperability problems in such systems. Instead of separating the development, adaptation and evolution of software and its platforms, as well as aspects like operation, monitoring and maintenance, they should all be integrated into one overarching process. Accordingly, the book is split into three major parts, the first of which includes an introduction to the nature of software evolution, followed by an overview of the specific challenges and a general introduction to the case studies used in the project. The second part of the book consists of the main chapters on knowledge carrying software, and cover tacit knowledge in software evolution, continuous design decision support, model-based round-trip engineering for software product lines, performance analysis strategies, maintaining security in software evolution, learning from evolution for evolution, and formal verification of evolutionary changes. In turn, the last part of the book presents key findings and spin-offs. The individual chapters there describe various case studies, along with their benefits, deliverables and the respective lessons learned. An overview of future research topics rounds out the coverage. The book was mainly written for scientific researchers and advanced professionals with an academic background. They will benefit from its comprehensive treatment of various topics related to problems that are now gaining in importance, given the higher costs for maintenance and evolution in comparison to the initial development, and the fact that today, most software is not developed from scratch, but as part of a continuum of former and future releases.  Lung Cancer: From Diagnosis to Treatment, Third Edition by Walter Scott MD 2018 | ISBN: 1943886679 | English | 160 pages | EPUB | 2 MB According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 220,000 Americans are diagnosed with lung cancer annually. It accounts for nearly 15 percent of all newly diagnosed cancers. If you've been diagnosed, you probably have many questions about the nature of the disease and your treatment options.Walter J. Scott, M.D., has treated thousands of lung cancer patients who have navigated this overwhelming maze of medical tests and procedures. In Lung Cancer: From Diagnosis to Treatment, Dr. Scott helps you understand the process-from getting a diagnosis to going through treatment. He explains topics such as: symptoms of lung cancer, diagnostic tests, types and stages of lung cancer, surgical procedures, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, clinical trials, coping with "smoker's guilt" and more. A book to help you become an informed patient!  Frederic Abergel, "Limit Order Books" English | 2016 | ISBN: 1107163986 | PDF | pages: 241 | 5.5 mb A limit order book is essentially a file on a computer that contains all orders sent to the market, along with their characteristics such as the sign of the order, price, quantity and a timestamp. The majority of organized electronic markets rely on limit order books to store the list of interests of market participants on their central computer. A limit order book contains all the information available on a specific market and it reflects the way the market moves under the influence of its participants. This book discusses several models of limit order books. It begins by discussing the data to assess their empirical properties, and then moves on to mathematical models in order to reproduce the observed properties. Finally, the book presents a framework for numerical simulations. It also covers important modelling techniques including agent-based modelling, and advanced modelling of limit order books based on Hawkes processes. The book also provides in-depth coverage of simulation techniques and introduces general, flexible, open source library concepts useful to readers studying trading strategies in order-driven markets.`  Learn Spanish Vocabulary by Flashcard eBooks English | 2013 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B00DSPG97C | PDF | 1.62 Mb A short introductory selection of Spanish Flashcards from the Flashcard eBook collection.
