 English | 2021 | ISBN: 8899902755 | 180 pages | EPUB | 5.41 MB THE BRANDED SUPPLY CHAIN The topic of this book is new and innovative, as it merges two different and usually separated domains - the brand and the supply chain. Why is it relevant to propose a new perspective merging these two domains? Brands are evolving from cultural symbols to educators, influencers and agents of social change. In this evolution, their supply chains are increasingly under scrutiny from a variety of external stakeholders seeking information that includes, and frequently exceeds, what the companies are legally obliged to disclose and communicate. The book presents an original paradigm emerging from the combination of academic literature and business insights according to which, in the new scenario, the supply chain should be considered as an extension of the brand, and a unique content to story-tell. Brands should develop new and broader narratives, ones which are fully plugged into their purpose, emotional but fact-based, and addressing all stakeholders. Different authors have teamed up to propose a roadmap to improve the organizational culture towards sustainable branding with the support of insights from leading companies in luxury, fashion, beauty and food.

This all-inclusive text for Nurse Educators delivers comprehensive, evidence-based guidance on the essential components of teaching, including learning theories, teaching methods, new technologies for teaching, curriculum development, evaluation and testing, and accreditation. The text delivers the full scope of knowledge necessary for novice and experienced faculty to become competent teachers in nursing.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367635860 | 239 pages | True PDF | 14.31 MB This book presents the state-of-the-art-knowledge on corrosion of steel, cast iron and ductile iron with a focus on corrosion-induced degradation of their mechanical properties. The information presented in the book is largely derived from the most current research on the effect of corrosion on degradation of mechanical properties. The book covers the basics of steel corrosion, including that of cast iron and ductile iron, that are not well covered in most literature. Models for corrosion-induced degradation of mechanical properties are presented in the book with a view to wider applications. The knowledge presented in the book can be used to prevent corrosion-induced failures of corrosion-affected structures, offering enormous benefits to the industry, business, society and community. Key strengths of the book are that it can be employed by a variety of users for different purposes in designing and assessing corrosion-affected structures, and that the knowledge and techniques presented in the book can be easily applied by users in dealing with corrosion-affected structures, and the uniqueness in examining the corrosion effect on degradation of various mechanical properties.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 9811614458 | 241 pages | pdf, epub | 75.55 MB The most crucial ability for machine learning and data science is mathematical logic for grasping their essence rather than knowledge and experience. This textbook approaches the essence of sparse estimation by considering math problems and building R programs. Each chapter introduces the notion of sparsity and provides procedures followed by mathematical derivations and source programs with examples of execution. To maximize readers' insights into sparsity, mathematical proofs are presented for almost all propositions, and programs are described without depending on any packages. The book is carefully organized to provide the solutions to the exercises in each chapter so that readers can solve the total of 100 exercises by simply following the contents of each chapter. This textbook is suitable for an undergraduate or graduate course consisting of about 15 lectures (90 mins each). Written in an easy-to-follow and self-contained style, this book will also be perfect material for independent learning by data scientists, machine learning engineers, and researchers interested in linear regression, generalized linear lasso, group lasso, fused lasso, graphical models, matrix decomposition, and multivariate analysis.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1683926692 | 776 pages | PDF | 41.95 MB Designed as a Java based textbook for beginning programmers, this book uses game programming as a central pedagogical tool to improve student engagement, learning outcomes, and retention. The new edition includes updating the GUI interface chapters from Swing based to FX based programs. The game programming is incorporated into the text in a way that does not compromise the amount of material traditionally covered in a basic programming or advanced Java programming course, and permits instructors who are not familiar with game programming and computer graphic concepts to realize the pedagogical advantages of using game programming. The book assumes the reader has no prior programming experience. Companion files include game sample, source code, game environments, and more (Files are also available for downloading by writing to the publisher.) Features  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1484271785 | 334 pages | pdf, epub | 17.58 MB Implement web applications in Java using the open-source Vaadin framework version 20 and later. This easy-to-follow book covers all the key concepts and steps to become competent with modern versions of Vaadin. The book covers everything from setting up the development environment to implementing advanced features such as Server Push and database connectivity. The book helps you become proficient in the Vaadin framework, prepare for Vaadin certifications, and shows you how to apply the power of the Java programming language in developing applications for the web. Author Alejandro Duarte starts with an introduction to web development and its key technologies. He then describes and demonstrates how Vaadin simplifies web development by allowing you to implement web graphical user interfaces using the Java programming language without having to code in jаvascript or HTML. Once a solid foundation on the key web and Vaadin concepts is established, Duarte digs deeper into explaining layouts and user interface components such as combo boxes, dialogs, upload fields, and data grids. He also covers topics such as styling with CSS, data binding, client-side views implementation with TypeScript, and integration with Spring Boot and Jakarta EE.

Well, to define the very simply physics, we can say that it is the science that studies the phenomena natural more general, seeking to describe them, explained here them and provide for them. To do so, it uses the math and language Basic. An image that is normally made of Physics is that when a certain theory is scientifically proven, we have the establishment of an absolute truth. This is not true. Science is a human construction and, therefore, subject to errors. Of course there are strict criteria that a theory can be considered scientific , and by this, the theories gain status of truth. However, when we look at the facts of the history of science observe the corrections and changes that mui- tas theories, a day considered true, had to go with the emergence of research results carried out later. Some of them were even abandoned and replaced by other new theories.
