The Art of Investigation

The Art of Investigation

The Art of Investigation examines the qualities required to be a professional thorough and effective investigator. As the title suggests it delves into more than the steps and procedures involved in managing an investigation it also covers the soft skills necessary to effectively direct investigations and intuit along the way. The editors and contributing authors are the best in their field and bring a wealth of real-world knowledge and experience to the subject. There are several publications available on the nuts-and-bolts of the process and stages of an investigation. That ground has been covered. However little has been published on the investigative skills required the traits necessary and the qualities endemic to an inquisitive mind that can be cultivated to improve an investigator’s professional skill-set. Each chapter discusses the applicability of the traits to the contributor’s own work and experience as an investigator. In doing so the contributors provide a story—or set of stories—from their personal experience which demonstrates a given trait and its importance in the course of their investigative work and career. This will be first-hand experience that will serve to help any investigative professional in the course of their work. The case examples included throughout are sometimes surprising but always engaging and insightful. An investigator must keep an open mind above all else and this book will lift the veil on the inner workings of an investigation in addition to the thought processes and inner monologues of an investigator as part of that process. Key Features• Chapters highlight the qualities and traits—the soft skills—that are required and which can be improved over time to be a thorough investigator. • A veritable Who’s Who of renowned investigative experts lend their personal expertise and experience to this how-to manual for investigators. • A unique approach is applied and provides self-help advice for both new and experienced investigative and security professionals. • The book focuses on the learned acquired and intuitive skills of investigation—a nuanced but essential aspect of the investigative skill-set. The Art of Investigation will be a welcome addition to any investigator’s toolkit and will also be of interest to students in criminal justice security and Homeland Security programs security consultants corporate and private security professionals and the legal community.

The Art of Proving Binomial Identities

The Art of Proving Binomial Identities

The Art of Proving Binomial Identities accomplishes two goals: (1) It provides a unified treatment of the binomial coefficients and (2) Brings together much of the undergraduate mathematics curriculum via one theme (the binomial coefficients). The binomial coefficients arise in a variety of areas of mathematics: combinatorics of course but also basic algebra (binomial theorem) infinite series (Newton’s binomial series) differentiation (Leibniz’s generalized product rule) special functions (the beta and gamma functions) probability statistics number theory finite difference calculus algorithm analysis and even statistical mechanics. The book is very suitable for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students and includes various exercises asking them to prove identities. Students will find that the text and notes at the end of the chapters encourages them to look at binomial coefficients from different angles. With this learning experience students will be able to understand binomial coefficients in a new way. Features:Provides a unified treatment of many of the techniques for proving binomial coefficient identities. Ties together several of the courses in the undergraduate mathematics curriculum via a single theme. A textbook for a capstone or senior seminar course in mathematics. Contains several results by the author on proof techniques for binomial coefficients that are not well-known. Ideal for self-study it contains a large number of exercises at the end of each chapter with hints or solutions for every exercise at the end of the book.

Textile Reinforced Concrete

Textile Reinforced Concrete

Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) has emerged in recent years as an attractive new high performance cement-based composite. Textiles can significantly improve the mechanical behavior of cement matrices under static and dynamic conditions and give superior tensile strength toughness ductility energy absorption and protection against environmental degrading influences. Flexibility with fabric production methods enables the control of fabric and yarn geometry. This along with the ability to incorporate into the fabric a range of yarns of different types and performances as well as cement matrix modifications enables design of the composite to a wide range of needs. The book is intended to provide a comprehensive treatment of TRC covering the basic fundamentals of the composite material itself and the principles governing its performance on a macro-scale as a component in a structure. It provides in-depth treatment of the fabric methods for production of the composite the micro-mechanics with special attention to the role of bonding and microstructure behavior under static and dynamic loading sustainability design and the applications of TRC composites.
