Industry Use Cases on Blockchain Technology Applications in IoT and the Financial Sector By Zaigham Mahmood (editor)
2021 | 436 Pages | ISBN: 1799866513 | PDF | 11 MB
Blockchain technology presents numerous advantages that include increased transparency, reduced transaction costs, faster transaction settlement, automation of information, increased traceability, improved customer experience, improved digital identity, better cyber security, and user-controlled networks. These potential applications are widespread and diverse including funds transfer, smart contracts, e-voting, efficient supply chain, and more in nearly every sector of society including finance, healthcare, law, trade, real estate, and other important areas. However, there are challenges and limitations that exist such as high energy consumption, limited scalability, complexity, security, network size, lack of regulations, and other critical issues. Nevertheless, blockchain is an attractive technology and has much to offer to the modern-day industry. Industry Use Cases on Blockchain Technology Applications in IoT and the Financial Sector investigates blockchain technology's adoption and effectiveness in multiple industries and for the internet of things (IoT)-based applications, presents use cases from industrial and financial sectors as well as from other transaction-based services, and fills a gap in this respect by extending the existing body of knowledge in the suggested field. While highlighting topics such as cybersecurity, use cases, and models for blockchain implementation, this book is ideal for business managers, financial accountants, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in blockchain technology's role and implementation in IoT and the financial sector.

Kathleen Birrell, "Indigeneity: Before and Beyond the Law"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1138570370, 1138793329 | EPUB | pages: 258 | 7.9 mb
Examining contested notions of indigeneity, and the positioning of the Indigenous subject before and beyond the law, this book focuses upon the animation of indigeneities within textual imaginaries, both literary and juridical. Engaging the philosophy of Jacques Derrida and Walter Benjamin, as well as other continental philosophy and critical legal theory, the book uniquely addresses the troubled juxtaposition of law and justice in the context of Indigenous legal claims and literary expressions, discourses of rights and recognition, postcolonialism and resistance in settler nation states, and the mutually constitutive relation between law and literature. Ultimately, the book suggests no less than a literary revolution, and the reassertion of Indigenous Law.

How to play Chess: guide for beginners, adults and children by Felice Iasparra
English | 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08KTTS9WB | 250 pages | EPUB | 2.38 Mb
The recipients of this book are all those, children and adults who for the first time approach the world of chess, or beginners who want to perfect their playing technique. The topics are treated in a clear and simple way and follow a teaching-learning path that gradually passes from knowing, to applying and solving problems.In addition, a graphic language was used that facilitates consultation, orientation and reading within the text as much as possible.The book is structured in modules, each of which deals with a specific topic independently and completely. At the beginning of each module, the objectives to be achieved (i.e. the knowledge that will be acquired from studying it) and the contents (i.e. the specific topics covered) are clearly indicated. The theoretical part is full of diagrams (images of chessboards) that allow you to view the movements of the pieces and tables that outline the most important rules. At the end of each module there is a conceptual map that summarizes the topics covered and a series of exercises that allow not only to verify what has been learned but also to facilitate the passage of concepts from the theoretical to the practical-executive level. Before moving from one module to another, the reader can try his hand, if he wishes, in finding the solution to some simple and funny riddles, inserted in a box entitled: "let's play with logic".
