A Supply Chain Management Guide to Business Continuity


A Supply Chain Management Guide to Business Continuity Summary:
Publisher: AMACOM | 2011 | ISBN: 0814416454 | PDF | 272 pages | 1.7 MB

A well-monitored supply chain is any business' key to productivity and profit. But each link in that chain is its own entity, subject to its own ups, downs, and business realities. If one falters, every other link and the entire chain becomes vulnerable. Kildow's book identifies the different phases of business continuity program development and maintenance, including: recognizing and mitigating potential threats, risks, and hazards; evaluating and selecting suppliers, contractors, and service providers; developing, testing, documenting, and maintaining business continuity plans; following globally accepted best practices; and analyzing the potential business impact of supplychain disruptions. Filled with powerful assessment tools, detailed disaster-preparedness checklists and scenarios, and instructive case studies in supply chain reliability, "A Supply Chain Management Guide to Business Continuity" is a crucial resource in the long-term stability of any business.

Programming in Objective-C (3rd Edition)


Programming in Objective-C (3rd Edition) Summary:
Ad son-We ley | 2011 | ISBN: 0321711394 | 552 pages | epub | 6,4 MB

Programming in Objective-C is a concise, carefully written tutorial on the basics of Objective-C and object-oriented programming for the iOS and Mac platforms. The book makes no assumptions about prior experience with object-oriented programming languages or with the C language (which Objective-C is based upon). Because of this, both beginners and experienced programmers alike can use this book to quickly and effectively learn the fundamentals of Objective-C. Readers can also learn the concepts of object-oriented programming without having to first learn all of the intricacies of the underlying procedural language (C). This unique approach to learning, combined with many small program examples and exercises at the end of each chapter, makes Programming in Objective-C ideally suited for either classroom use or self-study. While the Objective-C language itself has gone through little change since the introduction of Objective-C 2.0, the Apple development tools that programmers use for Objective-C development on the Mac and on iOS have changed significantly in a very short period of time. The third edition of Programming in Objective-C includes numerous updates and improvements throughout the book: Improved organization for some chapters
Incorporation of feedback and suggestions from members of the author's forum for readers, including more detailed descriptions for some of the examples
A new introduction to blocks with examples
Replacement of deprecated methods with newer methods
Updated diagrams and steps for using Xcode 4.

Knowledge in Formation: A Computational Theory of Interpretation


Knowledge in Formation: A Computational Theory of Interpretation Summary:
Publisher: Sp..rin..ger 2011 | 229 Pages | ISBN: 3642170889 | PDF | 2 MB

Humans have an extraordinary capability to combine different types of information in a single meaningful interpretation. The quickness with which interpretation processes evolve suggests the existence of a uniform procedure for all domains. In this book the authors suggest that such a procedure can be found. They concentrate on the introduction of a theory of interpretation, and they define a model that enables a meaningful representation of knowledge, based on a dynamic view of information and a cognitive model of human information processing. The book consists of three parts. The first part focuses on the properties of signs and sign interpretation; in the second part the authors introduce a model that complies with the conditions for sign processing set by the first part; and in the third part they examine applications of their model in the domain of logic, natural language, reasoning and mathematics. Finally they show how these domains pop up as perspectives in an overall model of knowledge representation. The reader is assumed to have some interest in human information processing and knowledge modeling. Natural language is considered in the obvious sense, familiarity with linguistic theories is not required. Sign theoretical concepts are restricted to a manageable subset, which is introduced gently. Finally, some familiarity with basic concepts of propositional and syllogistic logic may be useful.

Advanced Topics in Information Retrieval


Advanced Topics in Information Retrieval Summary:
Publisher: Spr..in..ger 2011 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 3642209459 | PDF | 10 MB

Information retrieval is the science concerned with the effective and efficient retrieval of documents starting from their semantic content. It is employed to fulfill some information need from a large number of digital documents. Given the ever-growing amount of documents available and the heterogeneous data structures used for storage, information retrieval has recently faced and tackled novel applications.
In this book, Melucci and Baeza-Yates present a wide-spectrum illustration of recent research results in advanced areas related to information retrieval. Readers will find chapters on e.g. aggregated search, digital advertising, digital libraries, discovery of spam and opinions, information retrieval in context, multimedia resource discovery, quantum mechanics applied to information retrieval, scalability challenges in web search engines, and interactive information retrieval evaluation. All chapters are written by well-known researchers, are completely self-contained and comprehensive, and are complemented by an integrated bibliography and subject index.
With this selection, the editors provide the most up-to-date survey of topics usually not addressed in depth in traditional (text)books on information retrieval. The presentation is intended for a wide audience of people interested in information retrieval: undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, lecturers, and industrial researchers.

Plant Desiccation Tolerance (Ecological Studies)


Plant Desiccation Tolerance (Ecological Studies) Summary:
Publisher: Springer | 2011 | ISBN: 3642191053 | PDF | 403 pages | 5.9 MB

Desiccation tolerance was essential when plants first began to conquer land, roughly 400 million years ago. While most desiccation-tolerant plants belong to basal phylogenetic taxa, this capacity has also evolved among some vascular plant species. In this volume renowned experts treat plant desiccation tolerance at the organismic as well as at the cellular level. The diversity of ecophysiological adaptations and acclimations of cyanobacteria, eukaryotic algae, mosses, and lichens is addressed in several chapters. The particular problems of vascular plants during dehydration/rehydration cycles resulting not only from their hydraulic architectures, but also from severe secondary stresses associated with the desiccated state are discussed. Based on the treatment of desiccation tolerance at the organismic level, a second section of the book is devoted to the cell biological level. It delineates the general concepts of functional genomics, epigenetics, genetics, molecular biology and the sensing and signalling networks of systems biology involved in dehydration/rehydration cycles. This book provides an invaluable compilation of current knowledge, which is a prerequisite for a better understanding of plant desiccation tolerance in natural as well as agro- and forest ecosystems where water is one of the most essential resources.
