Online Computation and Competitive Analysis By Allan Borodin, Ran El-Yaniv 1998 | 217 Pages | ISBN: 0521563925 | PDF | 11 MB In online computation a computer algorithm must decide how to act on incoming items of information without any knowledge of future inputs. How should it route the next telephone call? Where in memory should it store a just-closed record? This authoritative work provides an in-depth presentation of competitive analysis, an attractive framework within which such problems can be analyzed and solved. In this framework, quality is measured relative to the best possible performance of an algorithm that has complete knowledge of the future. This methodology for the analysis of online decision making has become a standard approach in computer science. Starting with the basic definitions of the competitive analysis model, the authors present most of the essential techniques through various examples, some of which are among the central problems of the field, such as list accessing, paging in a virtual memory system, routing in a communication network, metrical task systems, k-server systems, load balancing, search, and portfolio selection. The book also shows how competitive analysis relates to more classical subjects such as game theory and decision theory. This is an important text and reference for researchers and graduate students in theoretical computer science and in operations research.  Brendan I.

Alun Thomas, "Nomads and Soviet Rule: Central Asia under Lenin and Stalin" English | 2019 | ISBN: 1350143685 | PDF | pages: 273 | 1.7 mb The nomads of Central Asia were already well accustomed to life under the power of a distant capital when the Bolsheviks fomented revolution on the streets of Petrograd. Yet after the fall of the Tsar, the nature, ambition and potency of that power would change dramatically, ultimately resulting in the near eradication of Central Asian nomadism.

New Approaches to Qualitative Research: Wisdom and Uncertainty By Maggi Savin-Baden, Claire Howell Major 2010 | 196 Pages | ISBN: 0415572401 | PDF | 3 MB Qualitative research has seen a surge of growth during the past decade. This is in large part because positivist approaches have not yielded the kinds of results that had been anticipated, and more researchers are seeking alternative perspectives to understand phenomena. The number of researchers using qualitative approaches continues to grow, yet there are few up-to-date guides to assist thinking broadly about qualitative research as a field of inquiry. Over the decades the range of approaches has increased, which has led to an even greater lack of certainty about how to think about doing qualitative research. In considering key issues while offering practical guidance on how to work within the face of uncertainty, this book will be a valuable resource to this next generation of researchers. New Approaches to Qualitative Research offers: a clear understanding of the range of issues related to researcher stance, the way that researchers position themselves in relation to their subjects, their participants, and their own belief systems, and the way in which they locate themselves across the qualitative paradigm an overview of some of the most cutting-edge qualitative techniques in use today: from the exploration of visual texts to the concept of inquiry to synthesis methods, this section lays out the state of the art in methodology specific information regarding processes of data analysis, synthesis and interpretation that are employed in these various approaches. In this book, the authors take the stance that qualitative research is a broad approach that encompasses and even encourages difference and uncertainty, and here at last they provide a route-map to this uncertain but fruitful line of inquiry. This vital text is ideal for professional researchers, final-year undergraduates and postgraduates in a range of subject areas.  Never by Chance: Aligning People and Strategy Through Intentional Leadership By Joe Calloway, Chuck Feltz, Kris Young 2010 | 176 Pages | ISBN: 0470561998 | PDF | 1 MB I guess my head has been in the strategic clouds because I couldn't put this book down! This is a short page-turner chock full of stories and personal experience to align your people to the company strategy--and getting measurable results.As a professional meeting facilitator, I particularly enjoyed their conversation on "Events as Strategy." Their thinking is that every event should advance the corporate strategy and be outcome driven. When you design around outcomes, the agenda shifts, expectations rise, and the event is much more productive.Kris Young shares this story, which serves all of us well in the team environment:"I have had the opportunity to contribute to extremely successful events in which everyone on the planning team clearly comprehended the vision and intended outcome. All partners (executives, meeting planners, the production company, outside speakers) were included in strategy and communication planning discussions from the beginning. Everyone on the team could answer the question, 'What's the point?' When working with a focused team like this, creative ideas flow and are on target, and conversations don't go in circles. Every idea is clearly focused on one specific goal. Every decision is aligned to a specific outcome. Planned messages are clear, and every part of the event is aligned to these messages. All elements--such as executive presentations, videos, outside speakers, set designs, presentation graphics, the look of the room, even entertainment options--are meant to create an experience that will deliver the company's intended result. Working as part of a team like this and producing a truly successful event is incredibly satisfying and fulfilling work."I love this question: "What's the point?" and firmly believe that everyone on your team should be able to answer it. Now you can see why I devoured this book--and you will, too!  Neuropsychological Assessment and Intervention for Childhood and Adolescent Disorders By Cynthia A. Riccio, Jeremy R. Sullivan, Morris J. Cohen 2010 | 745 Pages | ISBN: 0470184132 | PDF | 4 MB A compelling and compassionate case study approach to a broad range of neuropsychological disorders Neuropsychological Assessment and Intervention for Childhood and Adolescent Disorders focuses on the neuropsychological assessment and evidence-based practices available for assessing and treating children living with the etiological and neurological components of various disorders. Each chapter provides one or more case studies along with helpful background information, assessment results, and recommendations based on assessment data. Bridging science and practice, the book reviews the scientific literature, research on clinical implications, and evidence-based treatment of such disorders as: Dyslexia and Dyscalculia Specific Language Impairment/Dysphasia Autism Spectrum Disorders Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Tourette Syndrome Traumatic Brain Injury Childhood Cancer Epilepsy Cerebrovascular Disease Low Birth Weight Environmental Toxin Exposure Neurotoxins, Pregnancy, and Subsequent Disorders Chromosomal Anomalies Neurocutaneous Disorders Metabolic Disorders Each case study complements the content of each chapter by illustrating how the assessment process can inform intervention efforts for children. In addition, the cases humanize the effects of various disorders and demonstrate the usefulness of neuropsychological information in treatment and intervention planning, especially within children's educational and social contexts.
