Electron-Phonon Interaction in Conventional and Unconventional Superconductors

Electron-Phonon Interaction in Conventional and Unconventional Superconductors
1st Edition. edition (20 July 2011) | ISBN: 3642149677 | 101 pages | PDF | 2 MB

The problem of conventional, low-temperature superconductivity has been regarded as solved since the seminal work of Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer (BCS) more than 50 years ago. However, the theory does not allow accurate predictions of some of the most fundamental properties of a superconductor, including the superconducting energy gap on the Fermi surface. This thesis describes the development and scientific implementation of a new experimental method that puts this old problem into an entirely new light. The nominee has made major contributions to the development and implementation of a new experimental method that enhances the resolution of spectroscopic experiments on dispersive lattice-vibrational excitations (the "glue" responsible for Cooper pairing of electrons in conventional superconductors) by more than two orders of magnitude. Using this method,he has discovered an unexpected relationship between the superconducting energy gap and the geometry of the Fermi surface in the normal state, both of which leave subtle imprints in the lattice vibrations that could not be resolved by conventional spectroscopic methods. He has confirmed this relationship on two elemental superconductors and on a series of metallic alloys. This indicates that a mechanism qualitatively beyond the standard BCS theory determines the magnitude and anisotropy of the superconducting gap.

Compliance in Today's Global Supply Chain
Press; 1 edition (24 Nov 2010) | ISBN: 1420086219 | 538 pages | PDF | 2 MB

One of the newest and fastest growing corporate positions is that of global trade compliance manager. This position used to be an insignificant factor in most corporations, but the events surrounding 9/11 changed that forever. Compliance became a household word in businesses involved in importing and exporting. Unfortunately, when corporations begin setting up initiatives to become compliant, they often have to seek the support of outside counsel, consultants, and specialists, because there is no single resource that allows them to accomplish this work independently.
Rising above the myriad diverse resources for the compliance manager, Compliance in Today's Global Supply Chain is the definitive compilation and one-step "go to" resource for the executive engaged in global supply chains seeking compliance with government regulations. It provides a step-by-step blueprint for developing a compliance program and making it cost-effective within a corporation’s supply chain operation. Offering the perspective of one the nation’s most respected and informed experts on global supply chains, it defines emerging regulations that impact global trade. Emphasizing the importance of training programs and continuing education, it also shows how to educate senior management to ensure and maintain success and includes a list of resources to keep up with the changing import/export landscape.
Providing the company and the manager responsible for supply chain compliance with the necessary tools to initiate all the steps to secure a corporate compliance program in their global supply chain, Compliance in Today's Global Supply Chain is destined to be the "resident bible" for current and future managers of global supply chains

Emotional Freedom

noreply@blogger.com (success khmer) — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 08:34:00 +0000

Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself From Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life [Unabridged] by Judith Orloff
Publisher: Random House Audio (March 3, 2009) | ISBN: 0739357948 ASIN B001UL7NPI | Language: English | Audio CD in MP3 / 128Kbps | 631 MB

Starred Review. Orloff (Second Sight) offers a superbly written series of psychological strategies for maximizing positive emotions and minimizing toxic ones. A practicing psychiatrist, the author straddles the worlds of mainstream medicine and alternative healing; she regards emotions as a training ground for the soul, and views every victory over fear, anxiety, and resentment as a way to develop your spiritual muscles. As the self is the foundation for emotional freedom, the author discusses how readers can find their emotional type—intellectual, empathic, rock or gusher—and suggests how to find balance. Her tips include avoiding emotional vampires or consulting dreams, which she divides into three types: psychological (where fears and neuroses express themselves), predictive and guidance. The second half of the book tackles the most difficult life challenges: depression, loneliness, anxiety, frustration, rejection, grief, envy and bitterness. Orloff addresses each fully and frankly, using anecdotes from her own life and practice—the death of her mother, her own crippling envy. This insightful and positive book will assist anyone who is suffering in mapping a path out of pain. (Mar.)

Modern Critical Thought

noreply@blogger.com (success khmer) — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 08:29:00 +0000

Most of the major twentieth-century thinkers develop their thought through critical dialogues with their predecessors. This anthology brings together a selection of these dialogues, offering a fresh approach to modern critical thought from Marx through to the present day.The essays, lectures and reviews featured in this volume represent thinkers from Lukács and Heidegger to Judith Butler and Slavoj Žižek. Often at their most accessible introducing their own key influences and predecessors, these writings therefore provide an ideal way into the traditions of modern critical thought and into their own more difficult writings. As the reader proceeds through the book, the pieces build into a series of overlapping conversations and arguments, spanning different generations and crossing boundaries between French, German and English thought. The book offers an invaluable introduction to traditions of Marxist critical theory, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, post-structuralism and post-modern discourse.

Organization at the Limit

noreply@blogger.com (success khmer) — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 08:22:00 +0000

Tragedies like the Columbia disaster are distressing reminders that things can go wrong in large, highly regarded organizations. Although we embrace new technologies eagerly, we are reluctant to accept the risks of innovation. Moreover, some technologies and organizations may be too complex to control effectively. What makes some organizations more prone to accidents? Do the very measures taken to increase safety contribute to accidents? Can societies, organizations, and individuals learn from failures and reduce risks?

Against this backdrop, Professors William H. Starbuck of New York University and Moshe Farjoun of York University have invited diverse experts to contribute insights about the Columbia accident and the organizational lessons it suggests. This book thus presents many viewpoints on the complex behavioral factors that led to disaster.

Plant Abiotic Stress

noreply@blogger.com (success khmer) — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 07:18:00 +0000

Over the past decade, our understanding of plant adaptation to environmental stress has grown considerably. This book focuses on stress caused by the inanimate components of the environment associated with climatic, edaphic and physiographic factors that substantially limit plant growth and survival. Categorically these are abiotic stresses, which include drought, salinity, non-optimal temperatures and poor soil nutrition. Another stress, herbicides, is covered in this book to highlight how plants are impacted by abiotic stress originating from anthropogenic sources. The book also addresses the high degree to which plant responses to quite diverse forms of environmental stress are interconnected, describing the ways in which the plant utilizes and integrates many common signals and subsequent pathways to cope with less favorable conditions.

The Theory of Corporate Finance

noreply@blogger.com (success khmer) — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 05:23:00 +0000

The Theory of Corporate Finance
P U Press (December 12, 2005) | ISBN: 0691125562 | 640 pages | PDF | 4 MB

The past twenty years have seen great theoretical and empirical advances in the field of corporate finance. Whereas once the subject addressed mainly the financing of corporations--equity, debt, and valuation--today it also embraces crucial issues of governance, liquidity, risk management, relationships between banks and corporations, and the macroeconomic impact of corporations. However, this progress has left in its wake a jumbled array of concepts and models that students are often hard put to make sense of.

Here, one of the world's leading economists offers a lucid, unified, and comprehensive introduction to modern corporate finance theory. Jean Tirole builds his landmark book around a single model, using an incentive or contract theory approach. Filling a major gap in the field, The Theory of Corporate Finance is an indispensable resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate students as well as researchers of corporate finance, industrial organization, political economy, development, and macroeconomics.

Tirole conveys the organizing principles that structure the analysis of today's key management and public policy issues, such as the reform of corporate governance and auditing; the role of private equity, financial markets, and takeovers; the efficient determination of leverage, dividends, liquidity, and risk management; and the design of managerial incentive packages. He weaves empirical studies into the book's theoretical analysis. And he places the corporation in its broader environment, both microeconomic and macroeconomic, and examines the two-way interaction between the corporate environment and institutions.

Setting a new milestone in the field, The Theory of Corporate Finance will be the authoritative text for years to come.

John Vince, "Rotation Transforms for Computer Graphics"
Publisher: S-/-/-r; 1st Edition | 2011 | ISBN: 085729153X | PDF | 258 pages | 2 MB

Rotation transforms are used everywhere in computer graphics from rotating pictures in editing software, to providing an arbitrary view of a 3D virtual environment. Although the former is a trivial operation, the latter can be a challenging task.
Rotation Transforms for Computer Graphics covers a wide range of mathematical techniques used for rotating points and frames of reference in the plane and 3D space. It includes many worked examples and over 100 illustrations that make it essential reading for students, academics, researchers and professional practitioners.
The book includes introductory chapters on complex numbers, matrices, quaternions and geometric algebra, and further chapters on how these techniques are employed in 2D and 3D computer graphics. In particular, matrix and bivector transforms are developed and evaluated to rotate points in a fixed frame of reference, and vice versa.

Business Statistics (Audiobook)

noreply@blogger.com (success khmer) — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 01:21:00 +0000

Business Statistics (Audiobook) By Professor George T. Geis
Publisher: The Teac hing Co mpany 1997 | 11 hours and 50 mins | ISBN: n/a | MP3 | 345 MB

In our tightly wired world, business executives make decisions under pressure. Almost always, these decisions must be made with less than complete information.
This course is about how to effectively use data that is currently available (or can be obtained within a reasonable time frame and cost) to improve business decision-making.
Quantitative methods such as statistical analysis never eliminate the vital role that seasoned business intuition plays. Nevertheless, analytical techniques are a central part of many decisions.

Statistics Alive in the Context of Life and Business
Professor George T. Geis of the UCLA Business School uses business examples from functional areas such as finance, marketing, human resources, and operations to illustrate the role of data analysis in decision-making.
"This course is not designed to be a dry, sleepy-time set of abstract, mathematical lectures," he says. "The goal is to make statistics come alive in the context of life and in the context of real business problems demanding a solution."
Today, the burden of computation has largely been eliminated through personal computers. Businesspeople are now free to focus on probing issues and search for creative solutions. This course illustrates the use of computer-generated output that promotes visualization of data.
In fact, we illustrate in this course how statistics and probability can effectively work together with managerial intuition in business problem solving.
"Students tell me that statistics was obscure and inaccessible for them as undergraduates," says Professor Geis. "On the first day of class, they enter my MBA course on Statistics and Data Analysis prepared for the worst. Fortunately, I am often able to help them build intuition for statistics, appreciate how the content can be applied, and they actually enjoy the experience.
"Whatever previous experience you have had with statistics (if any), our main objective will be to make the content useful to you in business decision-making and relevant to decisions we all make in everyday life."

Business Law: Negligence and Torts (Audiobook)

noreply@blogger.com (success khmer) — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 23:20:00 +0000

Business Law: Negligence and Torts (Audiobook) By Professor Frank B. Cross
Publisher: The Tea ching Com pany 2007 | 5 hours and 58 mins | ISBN: 159803247X | MP3 | 86 MB

This course addresses two important questions:

When is someone else legally responsible for harm done to you?
When are you legally responsible for harm done to someone else?

This course of eight lectures discusses torts, the body of law designed to redress through civil litigation harms done to persons.

As with all bodies of law, in order to analyze the legal implications of a potentially tortious action, it is necessary to blend common sense and pragmatic thinking with an understanding of legal definitions as they have evolved over time.

This lecture series not only explains the basics of this substantive body of law, but it also gives insight through examples of how the law is based on a logical idea of a just outcome.

You have an outstanding guide to understand clearly this area of law. Professor Frank B. Cross is Professor of Business Regulation at The University of Texas at Austin and a former attorney with the law firm of Kirkland & Ellis in Washington, DC.

The Academy of Legal Studies in Business honored Professor Cross as the nation's outstanding professor. Business Week 's guide to M.B.A. programs has also recognized him as one of the nation's outstanding teachers.

His conversational, clear, thorough, and humorous style makes this course a pleasure.

The Basics: Negligence and Intentional Interference with Property
Lecture 1 lays out the basic foundations of torts law, the three categories of which it is composed, and the legal factors necessary to find a person liable for a tort.

Negligence is discussed in terms of specific legal duties under the common law, and the standard of what a "reasonable person" would think or do, which is relied upon so heavily in this body of law.

Lecture 2 continues the discussion of negligence, especially of property owners, and the defenses that can be offered against allegations of negligence. You consider the duties of landowners to trespassers, guests, and others (such as the injuries of burglars or children who invade swimming pools). You search the causal connections that determine whether one person's acts are—in law—the "cause" of another's harm.

Lecture 3 discusses the flip side of property owner's negligence—the definitions of intentional interference with property. Your neighbor's tree interferes with your fence and your sunlight. You cook with mountains of garlic that vent into your neighbor's apartment. What determines intentional interference with property? You look at various cases. The nature of intent is discussed in terms of each of several kinds of offenses.

Defamation, Privacy, and Emotional Distress
Lectures 4 and 5 deal with the high-profile, occasionally controversial topics of defamation, privacy, and emotional distress.

In Lecture 4, you look at the law of libel (written) and slander (oral) that damage a person's reputation. Several requirements of defamation are discussed, as well as the privilege to defame which can attend commentary on public figures. You also examine when truth is a defense against libel.

Lecture 5 discusses the expanding tort of infliction of emotional distress, which can be either negligent or intentional, but which must pass several specific tests before it can be definitely labeled tortious. Invasion of privacy and the various forms it can take under common law are reviewed in detail.

Business Torts: Product Liability, Interference, Misappropriation, Trademarks
Lectures 6, 7, and 8 return to a more traditional conception of business law in their discussion of product liability, business torts, and trademarks.

Do cars need warning labels? Would it have any legal effect if they did? The extent to which a manufacturer is liable for damages caused to persons or property is explained in Lecture 6, including the several defenses, such as assumption of risk, which can be raised.

Lecture 7 discusses third-party intervention in contracts and prospective business, as well as the legal implications of misappropriation of information.

Lecture 8 closes the series with an interesting discussion of trademark law, and the considerations such as competition or likelihood of consumer confusion that courts must weigh before handing down decisions on such infringements. The cases discussed in this lecture look at intrusions on the trade name, appearance, and reputation of many famous products.

G8 against Transnational Organized Crime (Global Finance)
Ate (2009-04-01) | ISBN: 0754675440 | 200 pages | PDF | 1.8 MB

The fight against money laundering, drug trafficking, illegal immigration, cyber crime, and the promotion of the enhancement of judicial and police cooperation in criminal matters have been at the core of the G8's actions in this field since the 1990s. This book sheds light on the nature, structure and modus operandi of the G8's specific expertise on transnational organized crime from a sociological approach in order to understand the elaboration, production and diffusion of international norms and standards. It provides a detailed analysis of an under-researched aspect of international politics: the intensification of expert-level exchanges on the international stage over the enhanced cooperation against transnational organized crime that has led to an impressive elaboration of best practices and soft law recommendations. Very few studies have focused on the experts who determine these: who they are, what their socio-professional background is, and the nature and impact of their collective work in the global fight against organized crime.

Business Law: Contracts (Audiobook)

Business Law: Contracts (Audiobook) By Professor Frank B. Cross
Publisher: The Teac hing Com pany 2007 | 5 hours and 59 mins | ISBN: 1598032461 | MP3 | 86 MB

What is a contract? How can you make one binding? How can you avoid being prematurely bound by one? What can you do to get out of a contract? What remedies are available if someone breaches your contract? What special rules apply to international contracts?

These questions and the other important issues of legally enforceable promises are covered in the eight lectures of this course.

Contractual agreements are one of the principal mechanisms for ordering life in society. Whether a contract is written or oral, or even implicit, it carries with it all of the duties and obligations that society has endowed with the force of law.

This series of eight lectures lays a comprehensive foundation in the practical and intricate body of law that governs contracts.

Your guide to contracts is Professor Frank B. Cross, Professor of Business Regulation at The University of Texas at Austin and a former attorney with the law firm of Kirkland & Ellis in Washington, DC.

The Academy of Legal Studies in Business honored Professor Cross as the nation's outstanding professor. The Business Week guide to M.B.A. programs has also recognized him as one of the nation's outstanding teachers.

Professor Cross is the author of more than 30 articles in journals of law, science, policy, and management. He has published four textbooks for business law classes, as well as several other academic books. Professor Cross serves on the editorial boards of four journals, including the American Business Journal.

When Has a Contract Been Made?

Lecture 1 explores the boundaries of contracts in law. It discusses the four main requirements that any contract must satisfy, and it discusses the Uniform Commercial Code of the United States, which incorporated common law about commercial contracts into state statutes.

Lectures 2 and 3 give greater detail about the main components of a contract.

One party makes an offer and the other accepts, refuses, or makes a counteroffer, but there are many possible slips in between. Which offers are binding? Lecture 2 examines the preliminary issues of offer and acceptance, including the ability of parties to negotiate, the definiteness of a contract's terms, and terms of acceptance.

In Lecture 3, we look at three more elements of a binding contract:

What each party must give up for a contract to be made ("consideration")
Whether and when those of a diminished capacity, such as children or the insane, can make contracts
When a contract must be in writing.

When Is a Contract not Binding?

Lectures 4 and 5 consider the possible reasons for declaring contracts void or breached.

When does a mistake by either party or fraud by one of them invalidate a contract? When can a party successfully claim that an agreement was reached under duress? In Lecture 4, you get answers to these questions.

Lecture 5 reviews problems with the performance of a contract, including how much of a performance is required to consider a contract discharged, and other legal reasons for discharge. What conditions will excuse performance?

What can you do when the other side doesn't meet its obligations?

If a contract has been breached, how do the courts decide how much you are owed? Remedies for breaches of contract, and different methods for assessing the fair compensation in such cases, are considered in Lecture 6.

Special Cases: Third-Party and International Contracts
The series concludes with discussions of two unique issues in contract law: third-party rights in contracts and international contracts.

Lecture 7 explains the categories of persons who are legally permitted to enforce agreements to which they are not original contracting parties. These might include beneficiaries of the contract or an assignee of a certain part of a contract. The key questions are these:

When can rights under a contract be assigned to someone else?
When can a contract that benefits you be enforced by you?

Lecture 8 discusses international contracts and the practical and legal complications arising from them. Simple translation is only the first problem, and there are hundreds of variations on rules among countries. We focus on issues raised by international agreements, letters of credit, and other commercial practices. A discussion of the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods in contrast with U.S. law is included.
