 Learn Selenium: Build data-driven test frameworks for mobile and web applications with Selenium Web Driver 3 by Unmesh Gundecha  M.D. Abraham, Joseph N., "Kings, Conquerors, Psychopaths from Alexander to Hitler to the Corporation" English | ISBN: 1946160326 | 2018 | 304 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Right wing populists increasingly draw attention around the globe, but the attention is misdirected. The real problem is not the authoritarian, but the authoritarian personalities who follow him. If people do not blindly follow and obey the despot, he is irrelevant.  Journey to Joy: The Psalms of Ascent by Josh Moody English | April 30, 2013 | ISBN: 1433534975 | 192 pages | AZW3 | 0,355 MB "True happiness comes from within." At least that's what our culture tells us while beating the drum of self-esteem as the route to real joy.  Dominique Orban, "Iterative Solution of Symmetric Quasi-Definite Linear Systems" English | ISBN: 1611974720 | 2017 | 107 pages | PDF | 4 MB Numerous applications, including computational optimization and fluid dynamics, give rise to block linear systems of equations said to have the quasi-definite structure. In practical situations, the size or density of those systems can preclude a factorization approach, leaving only iterative methods as the solution technique. Known iterative methods, however, are not specifically designed to take advantage of the quasi-definite structure.  Marco C. Campi, "Introduction to the Scenario Approach" English | ISBN: 1611975433 | 2018 | 114 pages | PDF | 5 MB This book is about making decisions driven by experience. In this context, a scenario is an observation that comes from the environment, and scenario optimization refers to optimizing decisions over a set of available scenarios. Scenario optimization can be applied across a variety of fields, including machine learning, quantitative finance, control, and identification. The scenario approach has been given a solid mathematical foundation in recent years, addressing fundamental questions such as: How should experience be incorporated in the decision process to optimize the result? How well will the decision perform in a new case that has not been seen before in the scenario sample? And how robust will results be when using this approach? This concise, practical book provides readers with an easy access point to make the scenario approach understandable to nonexperts, and offers an overview of various decision frameworks in which the method can be used. It contains numerous examples and diverse applications from a broad range of domains, including systems theory, control, biomedical engineering, economics, and finance. Practitioners can find "easy-to-use recipes," while theoreticians will benefit from a rigorous treatment of the theoretical foundations of the method, making it an excellent starting point for scientists interested in doing research in this field. Introduction to the Scenario Approach will appeal to scientists working in optimization, practitioners working in myriad fields involving decision-making, and anyone interested in data-driven decision-making.  Majid Nabavi, David L. Olson, "Introduction to Business Analytics, Second Edition" English | 2020 | ISBN: 1953349749, 1953349757 | 192 pages | EPUB | 22 MB This book presents key concepts related to quantitative analysis in business.  Penne Ainsworth, Dan Deines, "Introduction to Accounting: An Integrated Approach" English | 2010 | ISBN: 0078136601 | PDF | pages: 672 | 6.3 mb This textbook integrates Financial and Managerial Accounting as opposed to keeping these areas separate, the approach followed by most books and curriculums. By "integration", we mean the authors focus on the business process and examine the activities from both an external, financial reporting perspective and an internal, management decision-making perspective. The text incorporates real world applications, including actual financial statements, to reinforce the relevance of topics to real business situations and promote student interest. The text also promotes active learning through Enhance Your Understanding "probing" questions placed sporadically throughout many chapters, Of Interest boxes that provide additional information relating to the chapter concepts, Fast Fact boxes that provide additional information related to chapter concepts in a short, trivia-like manner, and end-of-chapter group exercises.
 Introducing Second Language Acquisition (Cambridge Introductions to Language and Linguistics) by Muriel Saville-Troike English | December 30, 2016 | ISBN: 131660392X | 244 pages | AZW3 | 0,873 MB Providing a solid foundation in second language acquisition, this book has become the leading introduction to the subject for students of linguistics, psychology and education, and trainee language teachers. Now in its third edition, the textbook offers comprehensive coverage of fundamental concepts, including second language acquisition (SLA) in adults and children, in formal and informal learning contexts, and in diverse socio-cultural settings, and takes an interdisciplinary approach, encouraging students to consider SLA from linguistic, psychological and social perspectives. Each chapter contains a list of key terms, a summary, and a range of graded exercises suitable for self-testing and class discussion. The third edition has been revised throughout, and features new material on the practical aspects of teaching language, along with updated online resources, including new classroom activities to accompany each chapter, as well as updated references and further reading suggestions.  Richard Van Horn, Albert Schwarzkopf, R. Price, "Information Systems Solutions: A Project Approach" English | 2005 | ISBN: 0073524360 | PDF | pages: 552 | 5.5 mb The development, implementation and maintenance of computer-based information system solutions require innovative thinking, research and communication skills, extensive documentation, and the ability to effectively apply proposed solutions. Information System Solutions: A Project Approach integrates basic information systems knowledge with these requirements, culminating in their combined application in a project-based real-world scenario. Three different project models, an SDLC-based chapter organization and an emphasis on teamwork make this text easily adaptable to your teaching needs. Successfully tested in the classroom and approved by thousands of students, Information System Solutions: A Project Approach prepares your students to be active, effective contributors to the professional field of information systems.
 Information Security and Ethics: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools and Applications By Hamid Nemati, Hamid Nemati 2008 | 4052 Pages | ISBN: 1599049376 | PDF | 87 MB Ethical dilemmas and security challenges have emerged rapidly alongside the accelerated evolution of information processing and management technologies. As technology continues to advance, the need for strong responses to these challenges, well centered on reliable research, becomes increasingly critical. Information Security and Ethics: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications serves as the ultimate source on all theories and models associated with information privacy and safeguard practices to help anchor and guide the development of technologies, standards, and best practices to meet these challenges. Compiling over 300 chapters representing the work of some 750 international experts, this comprehensive, six-volume collection examines a complete array of topics in this area, including authentication technologies, cyber-crime, cryptographic tools, monitoring systems, forensic computing, and confidentiality applications, and their relation to raising the level of security and ethical standards in technology-driven environments. Essential to the information science and technology collection of any library, this reference set will serve the needs of researchers in a variety of related fields, including business, e-commerce, government, law enforcement, and many more. |
