 Handbook of Research in International Human Resource Management By Michael M. Harris 2007 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 0805849491 | PDF | 8 MB Handbook of Research in International Human Resource Management, a book in LEA’s Organization and Management Series, provides a sophisticated, in-depth examination of research in international human resource management (IHRM). Editor Michael M. Harris compiles research in IHRM that is otherwise fragmented across numerous journals and conducted from several different approaches. In so doing, Harris recommends new directions and hypotheses to guide future researchers. This well-organized and much needed volume explores topics ranging from how to conduct international human resource management using both qualitative and quantitative methods, to defining “culture”, employee selection, performance management, union-management relations, and careers. Distinguished scholars discuss: national culture and cultural effects methodological issues in IHRM international performance management and appraisal international compensation international labor relations expatriate management. Handbook of Research in International Human Resource Management is a timely reference for all professors, graduate students, and advanced practitioners in the rapidly growing area of human resource management whose work is conducted in an international context, and can be used in courses on international business, international human resources, and IO psychology.  Handbook of Organic Solvent Properties By Ian M. Smallwood 1996 | 244 Pages | ISBN: 0470236086 | PDF | 8 MB This book presents a collection of the properties of 72 solvents commonly used in industry. These properties indicate the suitability of solvents answering the questions: Will it do the job? Will it harm the user? Will it pollute the air? Is it easy to handle? These are factors which need to be considered in the early stages of choosing a solvent for a new product or process and are therefore the information required by a development chemist or chemical engineer as well as by those working in the field of controlling pollution arising from VOCs. An excellent cross-referencing resource. Each solvent is fully cross-referenced.  Handbook of Machining and Metalworking Calculations By Ronald Walsh 2002 | 379 Pages | ISBN: 007163391X | PDF | 6 MB Solve virtually any problem involving metalworking and machining tools and applications -- quickly and easily with the help of one convenient hands-on resource ready-made for your benchtop or workstation . It's Ronald A. Walsh's Handbook of Machining and Metalworking Calculations , and it puts design, operations, repair, and maintenance answers right where you want them-close at hand.  Handbook of Integral Equations By Andrei D. Polyanin, Alexander V. Manzhirov 1998 | 798 Pages | ISBN: 0849328764 | PDF | 5 MB Integral equations are encountered in various fields of science and in numerous applications, including elasticity, plasticity, heat and mass transfer, oscillation theory, fluid dynamics, filtration theory, electrostatics, electrodynamics, biomechanics, game theory, control, queuing theory, electrical engineering, economics, and medicine.Exact (closed-form) solutions of integral equations play an important role in the proper understanding of qualitative features of many phenomena and processes in various areas of natural science. Equations of physics, chemistry, and biology contain functions or parameters obtained from experiments - hence, they are not strictly fixed. Therefore, it is expedient to choose the structure of these functions for more easily analyzing and solving the equation. As a possible selection criterion, one may adopt the requirement that the model integral equation admit a solution in a closed form. Exact solutions can be used to verify the consistency and estimate errors of various numerical, asymptotic, and approximate methods.The first part of Handbook of Integral Equations:oContains more than 2,100 integral equations and their solutionsoIncludes many new exact solutions to linear and nonlinear equationsoAddresses equations of general form, which depend on arbitrary functionsOther equations contain one or more free parameters (the book actually deals with families of integral equations); the reader has the option to fix these parameters.The second part of the book - chapters 7 through 14 - presents exact, approximate analytical, and numerical methods for solving linear and nonlinear integral equations. Apart from the classical methods, the text also describes some new methods. When selecting the material, the authors emphasize practical aspects of the matter, specifically for methods that allow an effective ''constructing'' of the solution. Each section provides examples of applications to specific equations.Supplements follow the main material, presenting:oProperties of elementary and special functionsoTables of indefinite and definite integralsoTables of Laplace, Mellin, and other transformsTo accommodate different mathematical backgrounds, the authors avoid special terminology, outlining some of the methods in a schematic, simplified manner and offering references to books considering the details of these methods. Handbook of Integral Equations includes chapters, sections, and subsections - numbering equations and formulas separately in each section, arranging the equations in increasing order of complexity, and providing immediate access to the desired equations through an extensive table of contents.  Handbook of Diagnostic Endocrinology By Janet E. Hall, Lynnette K. Nieman 2003 | 358 Pages | ISBN: 0896037576 | PDF | 5 MB Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. Reference text provides a comprehensive overview of current approaches to the diagnosis of endocrine disorders. Focuses on the long-term management of endocrine disorders, pathophysiology of the disorders, and the most current laboratory tests available. DNLM: Endocrine Disease--diagnosis.  Adam Winkler, "Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America" English | 2013 | pages: 384 | ISBN: 0393345831 | EPUB | 0,6 mb A provocative history that reveals how guns―not abortion, race, or religion―are at the heart of America's cultural divide.  Gums and Stabilisers for the Food Industry 11 By P.A. Williams, G.O. Phillips 2002 | 384 Pages | ISBN: 0854048367 | PDF | 38 MB The breadth and depth of knowledge of gums and stabilisers has increased tremendously over the last two decades, with researchers in industry and academia collaborating to accelerate the growth. Gums and Stabilisers for the Food Industry 11 presents the latest research in the field ofhydrocolloids used in food. Bringing together contributions from international experts, the first section of the book investigates the advances in structure determination and characterization of hydrocolloids, including the use of capillary electrophoresis. Later sections deal with rheological aspects of hydrocolloids in solutions and gels; the application of hydrocolloids in real food systems; and the interfacial behaviour and gelation of proteins. A discussion of the influence of hydrocolloids on human health is also included. Researchers and other professionals in industry and academia, particularly those involved directly with food science, will welcome this title as a source of the very latest information.  Martha A. Tucker, Nancy D. Anderson, "Guide to Information Sources in Mathematics and Statistics" English | 2004 | ISBN: 1563087014 | 368 pages | PDF | 1.14 MB This book is a reference for librarians, mathematicians, and statisticians involved in college and research level mathematics and statistics in the 21st century. We are in a time of transition in scholarly communications in mathematics, practices which have changed little for a hundred years are giving way to new modes of accessing information. Where journals, books, indexes and catalogs were once the physical representation of a good mathematics library, shelves have given way to computers, and users are often accessing information from remote places. Part I is a historical survey of the past 15 years tracking this huge transition in scholarly communications in mathematics. Part II of the book is the bibliography of resources recommended to support the disciplines of mathematics and statistics. These are grouped by type of material. Publication dates range from the 1800's onwards. Hundreds of electronic resources-some online, both dynamic and static, some in fixed media, are listed among the paper resources. Amazingly a majority of listed electronic resources are free.  Growing Under Cover: Techniques for a More Productive, Weather-Resistant, Pest-Free Vegetable Garden by Niki Jabbour English | December 22, 2020 | ISBN: 1635861314 | PDF | 216 pages | 124 MB Grow your best garden no matter what Mother Nature throws at you.  Growing Public, Further Evidence: Social Spending and Economic Growth since the Eighteenth Century By Peter H. Lindert 2004 | 242 Pages | ISBN: 0521821754 | PDF | 2 MB Taxes and transfers have been debated for centuries, but only recently are we able to see the total picture of the evolution of social spending. This book examines the question of whether social policies that redistribute income impose constraints on economic growth. Peter Lindert argues that, contrary to the intuition of many economists and the ideology of many politicians, social spending has contributed to, rather than inhibited, economic growth.
