Workplace Stability: Creating conditions that lead to retenetion, productivity, and engagement in entry-level workers by Ruth K. Weirich
English | May 1st, 2021 | ISBN: 9781938248795 | 142 pages | True EPUB | 6.91 MB
There is no question that increased worker stability boosts productivity, retention, and morale, which leads to greater profitability-but it may yet be a challenge you need to address. Why would an employer want to increase the personal and professional stability of workers? And how exactly can businesses go about it? It starts with seeing things differently. Instability is another measure of diversity in your workforce. Low-wage workers can experience personal instability that leads to absenteeism, health problems, and violations of workplace expectations, all of which decreases morale, attention to work, and job performance.

Allan Kellehear, "Visitors at the End of Life: Finding Meaning and Purpose in Near-Death Phenomena"
English | ISBN: 0231182147 | 2020 | 216 pages | PDF | 847 KB
About 30 percent of hospice patients report a "visitation" by someone who is not there, a phenomenon known in end-of-life care as a deathbed vision. These visions can be of dead friends or family members and occur on average three days before death. Strikingly, individuals from wildly diverse geographic regions and religions―from New York to Japan to Moldova to Papua New Guinea―report similar visions. Appearances of our dead during serious illness, crises, or bereavement are as old as the historical record. But in recent years, we have tended to explain them in either the fantastical terms of the supernatural or the reductive terms of neuroscience.

Video coding standards: AVS China, H.264/MPEG-4 PART 10, HEVC, VP6, DIRAC and VC-1 by K.R. Rao
English | PDF | 2013 | 499 Pages | ISBN : 9400767412 | 17.1 MB
The requirements for multimedia (especially video and audio) communications increase rapidly in the last two decades in broad areas such as television, entertainment, interactive services, telecommunications, conference, medicine, security, business, traffic, defense and banking. Video and audio coding standards play most important roles in multimedia communications. In order to meet these requirements, series of video and audio coding standards have been developed such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-21 for audio and video by ISO/IEC, H.26x for video and G.72x for audio by ITU-T, Video Coder 1 (VC-1) for video by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and RealVideo (RV) 9 for video by Real Networks.

Thermal Quantum Field Theory and Perturbative Non-Equilibrium Dynamics by Peter Millington
English | PDF | 2013 | 215 Pages | ISBN : 3319011855 | 4.7 MB
The author develops a new perturbative formalism of non-equilibrium thermal quantum field theory for non-homogeneous backgrounds. As a result of this formulation, the author is able to show how so-called pinch singularities can be removed, without resorting to ad hoc prescriptions, or effective resummations of absorptive effects.
