 Ricardo Ernst, Jerry Haar, "Globalization, Competitiveness, and Governability: The Three Disruptive Forces of Business in the 21st Century" English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030175154 | PDF | pages: 199 | 3.4 mb This book argues that three powerful symbiotic forces (globalization, competitiveness, and governability) are disrupting business in the 21stcentury, resulting in an impact on the economic and business environment far greater than the effects of any of these three individually. Both globalization and competitiveness are governed essentially by market forces that force the introduction of significant changes aimed at increasing efficiency so that a better use may be made of the advantages of globalization (i.e., the traditional "invisible" hand). Responsibility for bringing about these changes lies not only with the private sector but also with the government (i.e., the "visible" hand).  Irinel Caprini, "Functional Analysis and Optimization Methods in Hadron Physics" English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030189473 | PDF | pages: 139 | 3.1 mb This book begins with a brief historical review of the early applications of standard dispersion relations in particle physics. It then presents the modern perspective within the Standard Model, emphasizing the relation of analyticity together with alternative tools applied to strong interactions, such as perturbative and lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD), as well as chiral perturbation theory.  Foundations of Respiratory Care, 2 edition (Book Only) by Kenneth A. Wyka, Paul J. Mathews and John Rutkowski English | 2011 | ISBN: 1111321094, 1435469844 | ISBN-13: 9781111321093 | 1248 pages | PDF | 46,7 MB The field of respiratory care is rapidly changing and growing. New research, therapies, and theories are continually emerging. FOUNDATIONS OF RESPIRATORY CARE, SECOND EDITION is written by leading authorities who have hands on, practical knowledge of the latest innovations and applications for care.
 Foot and Ankle Instability: A Clinical Guide to Diagnosis and Surgical Management by Beat Hintermann English | PDF | 2021 | 285 Pages | ISBN : 3030629252 | 65.9 MB This book comprehensively discusses the basic and practical aspects of foot and ankle surgery applied to all pathologies resulting from instabilities of these joints, a condition that remains underestimated. Uniquely, it not only addresses injuries to the lateral ankle ligaments, but also examines injuries to the deltoid-spring ligament complex, the syndesmotic and chopart joint ligaments, as well as peritalar instability - all pathologies that have often been neglected in the past.  Iouliia Skliarova, Valery Sklyarov, "FPGA-BASED Hardware Accelerators" English | 2019 | ISBN: 303020720X | PDF | pages: 257 | 15.4 mb This book suggests and describes a number of fast parallel circuits for data/vector processing using FPGA-based hardware accelerators. Three primary areas are covered: searching, sorting, and counting in combinational and iterative networks. These include the application of traditional structures that rely on comparators/swappers as well as alternative networks with a variety of core elements such as adders, logical gates, and look-up tables. The iterative technique discussed in the book enables the sequential reuse of relatively large combinational blocks that execute many parallel operations with small propagation delays. For each type of network discussed, the main focus is on the step-by-step development of the architectures proposed from initial concepts to synthesizable hardware description language specifications. Each type of network is taken through several stages, including modeling the desired functionality in software, the retrieval and automatic conversion of key functions, leading to specifications for optimized hardware modules. The resulting specifications are then synthesized, implemented, and tested in FPGAs using commercial design environments and prototyping boards. The methods proposed can be used in a range of data processing applications, including traditional sorting, the extraction of maximum and minimum subsets from large data sets, communication-time data processing, finding frequently occurring items in a set, and Hamming weight/distance counters/comparators. The book is intended to be a valuable support material for university and industrial engineering courses that involve FPGA-based circuit and system design.
 Environmental Priorities and Poverty Reduction: A Country Environmental Analysis for Colombia by Ernesto Sanchez-Triana, Kulsum Ahmed and Yewande Awe English | June 7, 2007 | ISBN-10: 0821368885 | 358 pages | PDF | 3,4 MB Environmental Priorities and Poverty Reduction: A Country Environmental Analysis for Colombia proposes cost-effective policy and technical interventions aimed at abating the cost of environmental degradation and supporting more equitable and sustainable economic growth.
 Emerging Powers, Global Justice and International Economic Law: Reformers of an Unjust Order? by Andreas Buser English | PDF | 2021 | 439 Pages | ISBN : 3030636380 | 6 MB The book assesses emerging powers' influence on international economic law and analyses whether their rhetoric of reforming this 'unjust' order translates into concrete reforms. The questions at the heart of the book surround the extent to which Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa individually and as a bloc (BRICS) provide alternative regulatory ideas to those of 'Western' States and whether they are able to convert their increased power into influence on global regulation.  Electric Relays: Principles and Applications by Vladimir Gurevich English | 2005 | ISBN: 0849341884 | 704 pages | PDF | 28,8 MB Electric relays pervade the electronics that dominate our world. They exist in many forms, fulfill many roles, and each have their own behavioral nuances and peculiarities. To date, there exists no comprehensive reference surveying the broad spectrum of electric relays, save one-Electric Relays: Principles and Applications. |
