Written for professionals and students, this reference provides a clear, repeatable strategy for capturing organizational knowledge. It does so by first exploring the fundamental concepts that have emerged from the new discipline of Knowledge Management over the past decade. It then proposes a number of innovative breakthroughs in thought, processes, and templates. The book includes a practical definition of Knowledge Management based on six core processes and four fundamental organizational beliefs and introduces Knowledge Inventory Projects, Processes, Artifacts, and Repositories (KIPPAR), among other topics.

Written primarily for senior undergraduate and graduate students, this book makes the subject of coding theory easy to understand. With a simple yet rigorous analytic and computational approach, it explains each code, describing applications as well as advantages and disadvantages. More advanced readers will appreciate the discussion of modern developments in coding theory and the coverage of stochastic processes. Robust and self-contained, the book illustrates the codes with more than 200 examples. Topics covered include Hamming, Golay, BCH, Reed¿Solomon, LDPC, Tornado, and the Fountain family of codes, as well as Galois fields, distributions, and belief propagation.

With peer-reviewed chapters written by a select group of academic and industry experts, this comprehensive yet accessible book presents the theoretical and technological background of particle science and explores up-to-date applications of particle technologies in the chemical, petrochemical, energy, mechanical, and materials industries. It looks at the importance of particle science and technology in the development of efficient chemical processes and novel functional materials. The book will help readers tackle new challenges in process and product development and create new methodologies in the clean technology sector.

With contributions from the world¿s foremost experts, this volume delivers the scientific truth about the role of dietary protein in the well-being of athletes. It reviews the science-related history of protein and its consumption among strength athletes, analyzes the mechanisms behind what proteins do in muscle cells, and describes protein¿s effect on performance, recovery, and body composition. It explores various populations that actively employ resistance training and dietary protein and discusses timing, type, and safety data regarding protein diets and related supplements. The book includes sidebars, examples, and case studies¿translating the science into a practical understanding of various protein-related topics.

This volume explores the experiments in community security based upon the well known Zwelethemba model in South Africa and other case studies around the globe. By examining these cases and their outcomes, the authors provide a theoretical analysis of the models used. They present a series of modified design principles for future applications in local security governance. Whenever possible raw data is used and a thorough analysis of existing information on security governance is included. This is an important examination of experimental models and a presentation of new groundbreaking theory and design models in engaging the local community in solving security governance problems.

Presents a comprehensive overview of the design automation algorithms, tools, and methodologies used to design integrated circuits. This work examines real-time logic to GDSII (a file format used to transfer data of semiconductor physical layout), analog/mixed signal design, physical verification, and technology CAD (TCAD).

This book considers conservative finite-difference schemes on grids of arbitrary structure to be a discrete model of the continuum physical system. It deals with the construction of finite-difference algorithms for elliptic or steady-state, parabolic or diffusion, and gas dynamics equations.

Provides a fresh investigation of the fundamental issues involved in our dependence on natural resources. This book reviews the debate about scarcity and economic growth and a review of various assessments of natural resource availability and consumption. It includes issues confronting the developing world as well as industrialized societies.

A unique overview of contemporary assessment and rehabilitiation of alcohol and chemical dependent substance abusers. This issue is valuable to the OT who seeks an understanding of the varying viewpoints and current practice in the substance abuse field.

Examines the general theory of dimensions of physical quantities, the theory of mechanical and physical similarity, and the theory of modeling. This book includes several examples which illustrate the use of the theories of similarity and dimensions for establishing fundamental mechanical regularities in aviation, explosions, and astrophysics.

Provides a comprehensive collection of case studies that reflects the scope of current paediatric occupational therapy practice. The text includes more than 40 cases that include client overviews, relevant history and background information; information regarding the analysis of occupational performance; information about progress in treatment; and questions to promote the development and refinement of clinical reasoning skills.

Exact solutions of differential equations play an important role in the understanding of many phenomena and processes throughout the natural sciences. The handbook contains the exact solutions to more than 6,200 ordinary differential equations.

Timely, informed study which offers realistic alternatives for ending the war in Afghanistan whilst continuing to help the Afghan people.

Definitive survey of world-systems theory, including an in depth interview with Immanuel Wallerstein, its founder.

Offers the chemical, physical, and technical information about the developed electrically conductive polymer, Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), otherwise known as PEDOT. This book discusses basic knowledge and explores technical applications.

Based on a decade of research, this reference provides comprehensive mathematical treatment of nonlinear robust control, particularly nonlinear H-infinity control. To be used as a textbook and reference, it covers topics ranging from singular nonlinear H-infinity control, nonlinear H-infinity filtering, mixed H2/H-infinity nonlinear control and filtering, and nonlinear H-infinity-almost-disturbance-decoupling. Continuous-time and discrete-time systems are discussed as well. One chapter focuses on algorithms for the solution of the Hamiltonian ¿ Jacobi equations. The authors employ examples, figures, and simulations to ensure comprehension. They include more than 2,000 equations throughout the book.

Reports on the experience of a multi-national company that successfully implemented Lean in both its manufacturing and commercial operations over a six year period. This workbook guides practitioners with readily reproducible advice, so that Lean becomes truly embedded in your organization and performance improvements sustained over the long term.

Chiral drugs are a major focus of pharmaceutical companies. This book presents the technique of Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy and discusses its applications to the structural characterization of chiral organic molecules. It also evaluates the advantages and limitations of the technique in determining molecular structure.

The philosopher Christopher Small suggests that musical meanings are concerned with relationships, both with other human beings and with the world, and that music functions as a means of exploration, affirmation, and celebration of those relationships
