Goldratt's Rules of Flow

Goldratt's Rules of Flow

Marc Wilson is not giving up. He is determined to turn around the struggling family company and keep it despite his father’s decision to sell. The problem is that they are late on more and more projects and their customers won’t tolerate it anymore. Marc is looking everywhere for a solution when in one of his MBA classes he comes across a unique approach that views operations in terms of flow. The concept of flow is straightforward. It’s easy to visualize the stream of projects going through the system and understand that if something clogs the flow the projects pile up; the lead time gets longer and as a result the reliability of due dates suffers. What is not so easy is to uncover the specific obstacles that obstruct the flow and figure out how to remove them. Goldratt’s Rules of Flow is the book that the great Eli Goldratt author of The Goal wanted to write about his later developments in the field of project management. As he passed away before accomplishing it his daughter Efrat Goldratt a brilliant author in her own right has picked up the mantle. Whether you’re a manager in engineering IT service or sales this book will help you gain much better predictability and significantly improve your delivery. | Goldratt's Rules of Flow

Architectural Structures Visualizing Load Flow Geometrically

Architectural Structures Visualizing Load Flow Geometrically

Architectural Structures presents an alternative approach to understanding structural engineering load flow using a visually engaging and three-dimensional format. This book presents a ground-breaking new way of establishing equilibrium in architectural structures using the Modern Müller-Breslau method. While firmly grounded in principles of mechanics this method does not use traditional algebraic statics nor does it use classical graphic statics. Rather it solely uses new geometric tools. Both statically determinate and statically indeterminate structures are analyzed using this graphic method to provide a geometric understanding of how load flows through architectural structures. This book includes approachable coverage of parametric modeling of two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures as well as more advanced topics such as indeterminate structural analysis and plastic analysis. Hundreds of detailed drawings created by the author are included throughout to aid understanding. Architecture and structural engineering students can employ this novel method by hand sketching or by programming in parametric design software. A detailed yet approachable guide Architectural Structures is ideal for students of architecture construction management and structural engineering at all levels. Practitioners will find the method extremely useful for quickly solving load tracing problems in three-dimensional grids. | Architectural Structures Visualizing Load Flow Geometrically

Time-Marching A Step-by-step Guide to a Flow Solver

Time-Marching A Step-by-step Guide to a Flow Solver

First published in 1997 this volume recognises that there are at present few if any books on existing CFD codes that are accessible to the academic world in general. And yet such works are of extreme importance if one is to bridge the gap between a CFD course for postgraduate students and the frontiers of current research. This book is especially intended for students commencing research in CFD – taking them step-by-step through the mathematical development of a flow solver. The only pre-requisite to an understanding of this work is a sound knowledge of engineering mathematics. Starting from the governing equations the author explains the theory behind the time-marching approach and proceeds step-by-step to a complete computer program for the Euler solver in two dimensions. The present work is restricted to two dimensions because in the first instance ideas can be assimilated much more easily in the context of two dimensions. The book is written for research students and users of CFD. The material may be of interest even to those not directly involved with time-marching solvers and the presentation is simple enough to be followed by course students. | Time-Marching A Step-by-step Guide to a Flow Solver

International Aid The Flow of Public Resources from Rich to Poor Countries

International Aid The Flow of Public Resources from Rich to Poor Countries

This is a comprehensive analysis of the economics of international aid that provides a systematic framework for understanding planning and executing aid programs. Though much has been written on different aspects of international aid this book was the first to synthesize information on all facets of aid and to investigate the consequences for both donor and recipient nations of the transfer of public resources in aid programs. The authors first present the history of aid discuss the principles that govern aid as practiced by the United States the United Kingdom Russia China the United Nations and other donors and then provide a broad theoretical structure in which to discuss particular questions taken up in subsequent chapters. The book systematically covers all aspects of the aid relationship and in addition to broad coverage of aid programs analyzes details of the aid relationship to discern the function of the different variables of aid. In one coherent volume International Aid outlines sound theoretical bases for discussion of aid programs provides valuable insights into contemporary practices and offers far-reaching suggestions on the future of aid programs. On first publication in the mid-1960s in the midst of the Cold War this book had considerable influence and its interest outlasts its parochial times as one of the first to discuss the effects of aid on both donor and recipient countries. | International Aid The Flow of Public Resources from Rich to Poor Countries

Fundamentals of Fluvial Geomorphology

Fundamentals of Fluvial Geomorphology

Rivers are significant geomorphological agents they show an amazing diversity of form and behaviour and transfer water and sediment from the land surface to the oceans. This book examines how river systems respond to environmental change and why this understanding is needed for successful river management. Highly dynamic in nature river channels adjust and evolve over timescales that range from hours to tens of thousands of years or more and are found in a wide range of environments. This book provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments in river channel management clearly illustrating why an understanding of fluvial geomorphology is vital in channel preservation environmentally sensitive design and the restoration of degraded river channels. It covers: flow and sediment regimes: flow generation; flow regimes; sediment sources transfer and yield channel processes: flow characteristics; processes of erosion and sediment transport; interactions between flow and the channel boundary; deposition channel form and behaviour: controls on channel form; channel adjustments; floodplain development; form and behaviour of alluvial and bedrock channels response to change: how channels have responded to past environmental change; impacts of human activity; reconstructing past changes river management: the fluvial hydrosystem; environmental degradation; environmentally sensitive engineering techniques; river restoration; the role of the fluvial geomorphologist.

A New Vision of Psychoanalytic Theory Practice and Supervision TALKING BODIES

A New Vision of Psychoanalytic Theory Practice and Supervision TALKING BODIES

By viewing psychoanalysis through the lens of embodiment Brothers and Sletvold suggest a shift away from traditional concept-based theory and offer new ways to understand traumatic experiences to describe the therapeutic exchange and to enhance the supervisory process. Since traditional psychoanalytic language does not readily lend itself to embodied experience the authors place particular emphasis on the words I you we and world to describe the flow of human attention. Offering new insights into trauma this book demonstrates how traumatic experiences and efforts to regain certainty in one’s psychological life involve profound disruptions of this flow. With a new understanding of transference resistance and interpretation the authors ultimately show how much can be gained from viewing the analytic exchange as a meeting between foreign bodies. Grounded in detailed case material this book will change the way therapists from all disciplines understand the therapeutic process and how viewing it in terms of talking bodies enhances their efforts to heal. | A New Vision of Psychoanalytic Theory Practice and Supervision TALKING BODIES

Modernizing Costume Design 1820–1920

Modernizing Costume Design 1820–1920

Annie Holt identifies the roots of contemporary Euro-American practices of costume design in which costumes are an integrated part of the dramaturgy rather than a reflection of an individual performer’s taste or status. She argues that in the period 1820–1920 as part of the larger project of modernism across the artistic and cultural field the functions of clothing and costume diverged. Onstage apparel took on a more specific semiotic task acting as a fresh channel for the flow of information between the performer the literary text and the spectator. Modernizing Costume Design traces how five kinds of artists – directors performers writers couturiers and painters – made key contributions to this new model of costume design. Holt shows that by 1920 costume design shifted in status from craft to art. | Modernizing Costume Design 1820–1920

The Rustication of Urban Youth in China A Social Experiment

The Rustication of Urban Youth in China A Social Experiment

In the 1960s and 70s the government of China conducted a rather unusual social experiment called ‘Up to the mountains and down to the village’ which sent urban youths to the countryside in an attempt to reverse the flow of the rural population migrating to towns and cities as was generally occurring in other parts of the world at that time. Originally published in 1975 Seybolt draws together a compilation of documents discussing the project which sent roughly 12 million urban youths to settle in the countryside in the years 1968-1975 alone. The documents discuss issues such as university love and marriage as well as the details of the experiment. This title will be of interest to students of sociology anthropology and Asian studies. | The Rustication of Urban Youth in China A Social Experiment
