The field of additive manufacturing has seen explosive growth in recent years due largely in part to renewed interest from the manufacturing sector. Conceptually, additive manufacturing, or industrial 3D printing, is a way to build parts without using any part-specific tooling or dies from the computer-aided design (CAD) file of the part. Today, mo
Confessions of a Banker is more than an autobiography. It is a bare-it-all account of the aspirations and dreams of a banker who carves a unique place for himself in the big bad world of banking. As the author takes you through his journey through ten banks, he is determined to reveal the truth and nothing less than that. While he takes pride in his achievements and skills, he also confides his mistakes and bravely owns up to his transgressions too. The author talks about the various people instrumental in shaping his career, some of whom were renowned banking personalities. He also traces the evolution of the banking sector since the Eighties, giving a sneak peek into the hitherto unsaid ‘inside’ stories and scams from the industry. Interspersed with incidents from the author’s personal life, the book is bound to make readers ponder, smile, laugh and cry too. This is a bold and candid tale narrated with confidence and conviction and served straight from the heart.
Based on the experience of many countries in the WHO European Region and the advice of experts, this guide outlines some of the steps prison systems should take to reduce the public health risks from compulsory detention in often unhealthy situations, to care for prisoners in need and to promote the health of prisoners and prison staff. This requires that everyone working in prisons understand how imprisonment affects health, what prisoners' health needs are, and how evidence-based health services can be provided for everyone needing treatment, care and prevention in prison. Other essential elements are being aware of and accepting internationally recommended standards for prison health; providing professional care with the same adherence to professional ethics as in other health services; and, while seeing individual needs as the central feature of the care provided, promoting a whole-prison approach to care and promoting the health and well-being of people in custody.
Web mining and usage is a fast-moving and hugely important field of study. This new Springer text constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Mining Web Data, WEBKDD 2006, held in Philadelphia, USA in 2006. The 13 revised full papers presented together with a detailed preface went through two rounds of reviewing and improvement and were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. They cover a huge range of relevant topics.

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Stochastic Models held in Ottawa (ON, Canada) in honor of Professor Donald A. Dawson. Contributions to the volume were written by students and colleagues of Professor Dawson, many of whom are eminent researchers in their own right. A main theme of the book is the development and study of the Dawson-Watanabe "superprocess", a fundamental building block in modelling interaction particle systems undergoing reproduction and movement. The volume also contains an excellent review article by Professor Dawson and a complete list of his work. This comprehensive work offers a wide assortment of articles on Markov processes, branching processes, mathematical finance, filtering, queueing networks, time series, and statistics. It should be of interest to a broad mathematical audience.
This textbook introduces differential equations, biological applications, and simulations and emphasizes molecular events (biochemistry and enzyme kinetics), excitable systems (neural signals), and small protein and genetic circuits. A Primer on Mathematical Models in Biology will appeal to readers because it grew out of a course that the popular and highly respected applied mathematician Lee Segel taught at the Weizmann Institute and it represents his unique perspective; combines clear and useful mathematical methods with applications that illustrate the power of such tools; and includes many exercises in reasoning, modeling, and simulations.
This book gives a fair picture of the Mass Media as it operates at national level down to the grassroots level where DFP's network operates shoulder to shoulder with rural masses in the area of inter-personal communication . The whole volume has been divided into five chapters, comprising articles by veteran practitioners of mass media of various shades .
