The Tyranny of Uncertainty: A New Framework to Predict, Remediate and Monitor Risk by Nabil Abu el Ata
English | PDF | 2016 | 375 Pages | ISBN : 3662491036 | 7.7 MB
The authors offer a revolutionary solution to risk management. It's the unknown risks that keep leaders awake at night-wondering how to prepare for and steer their organization clear from that which they cannot predict. Businesses, governments and regulatory bodies dedicate endless amounts of time and resources to the task of risk management, but every leader knows that the biggest threats will come from some new chain of events or unexpected surprises-none of which will be predicted using conventional wisdom or current risk management technologies and so management will be caught completely off guard when the next crisis hits. By adopting a scientific approach to risk management, we can escape the limited and historical view of experience and statistical based risk management models to expose dynamic complexity risks and prepare for new and never experienced events.

The Town of Vichy and the Politics of Identity: Stigma, Victimhood and Decline by Kirrily Freeman
English | PDF | 2022 | 149 Pages | ISBN : 303093196X | 4 MB
"In a cautionary tale of the challenges facing a company town trying to control its 'brand,' Kirrily Freeman explores the complicated roots of the town of Vichy's sense of identity.

The Ten Commandments of Risk Leadership: A Behavioral Guide on Strategic Risk Management by Annette Hofmann
English | EPUB | 2022 | 185 Pages | ISBN : 3030887960 | 3.3 MB
We as humans are prone to a variety of wired-in cognitive mistakes in the way we interpret and react to risk-related information. This is highly consequential since the cognitive biases managers are exposed to in their day-to-day business erode the objectivity of their risk-related decisions, which ultimately hurts the financial well-being of their firms. This book seeks to develop risk literacy as a leadership skill. It helps managers develop the skills to improve managerial decision-making in regards to managing risk.

The Science and Technology of 3D Printing by Tuhin Mukherjee
English | PDF | 2021 | 217 Pages | ISBN : N/a | 38.1 MB
Additive manufacturing, commonly known as three-dimensional printing (3D printing), is becoming an increasingly popular method for making components that are difficult to fabricate using traditional manufacturing processes.

The Responsibility to Protect Twenty Years On: Rhetoric and Implementation by Pinar Gözen Ercan
English | EPUB | 2022 | 313 Pages | ISBN : 3030907309 | 0.4 MB
This book focuses on measures pertaining to the three-pillar implementation strategy of R2P and examines how and to what extent the three pillars have been practised. Rich in its geographical scope, this edited book provides a critical analysis of R2P practice over the last two decades by focusing on representative cases from different regions. Analysing not only recent and/or underexplored cases but also widely studied cases from a fresh and alternative perspective, it sheds light on the depth and scope of the norm as well as the variety of actors involved and how they impact R2P practice. Diverging from most accounts, this edited book does not approach the cases as a 'success' or 'failure' of R2P.

The Relational View of Economics: A New Research Agenda for the Study of Relational Transactions by Lucio Biggiero
English | EPUB | 2022 | 328 Pages | ISBN : 3030865258 | 9 MB
This book contributes to the development of a relational view of economics. Bringing together experts from various disciplines, it offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the study of relational transactions. In contrast to discrete market transactions as a traditional subject of economic discourse, the book analyses the role of relational transactions in the study of economic phenomena.

The Regularized Fast Hartley Transform: Low-Complexity Parallel Computation of the FHT in One and Multiple Dimensions by Keith John Jones
English | EPUB | 2022 | 325 Pages | ISBN : 3030682447 | 22.2 MB
This book describes how a key signal/image processing algorithm - that of the fast Hartley transform (FHT) or, via a simple conversion routine between their outputs, of the real‑data version of the ubiquitous fast Fourier transform (FFT) - might best be formulated to facilitate computationally-efficient solutions.

The Politics of Educational Decentralisation in Indonesia :A Quest for Legitimacy by Irsyad Zamjani
English | PDF | 2022 | 312 Pages | ISBN : 9811669007 | 4.3 MB
"The Politics of Educational Decentralisation in Indonesia: A Quest for Legitimacy is a well written, analytically sharp, and compelling study of educational decentralisation in Indonesia.

The Pleasures of Probability by Richard Isaac
English | PDF | 1995 | 249 Pages | ISBN : 038794415X | 22.5 MB
The ideas of probability are all around us. Lotteries, casino gambling, the al most non-stop polling which seems to mold public policy more and more these are a few of the areas where principles of probability impinge in a direct way on the lives and fortunes of the general public. At a more re moved level there is modern science which uses probability and its offshoots like statistics and the theory of random processes to build mathematical descriptions of the real world. In fact, twentieth-century physics, in embrac ing quantum mechanics, has a world view that is at its core probabilistic in nature, contrary to the deterministic one of classical physics.

The Plaston Concept: Plastic Deformation in Structural Materials by Isao Tanaka
