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

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

For well over half a century since the first credible warnings of petroleum depletion were raised in the 1950s contemporary industrial civilization has been caught in a remarkable paradox: a culture more focused on problem solving than any other has repeatedly failed to deal with or even consider the problem most likely to bring its own history to a full stop. The coming of peak oil-the peaking and irreversible decline of world petroleum production-poses an existential threat to societies in which every sector of the economy depends on petroleum-based transport and no known energy source can scale up extensively or quickly enough to replace dwindling oil supplies. Not The Future We Ordered is the first study of the psychological dimensions of that decision and its consequences as a case study in the social psychology of collective failure and as an issue with which psychologists and therapists will be confronted repeatedly in the years ahead. | Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

The Musician's Body A Maintenance Manual for Peak Performance

The Musician's Body A Maintenance Manual for Peak Performance

Musicians suffer greatly from industry-related injury and illness and many of these problems are established during student days or even before. This affects all forms of music-making from classical through jazz and rock to traditional folk. Hearing damage is of serious concern in most forms of music-making but the most stressful situations and the most physical damage is recorded in the practice of classical music. The long hours of practice at the beginning of a musician's career are the main source of problems that sometimes only reveal themselves in later life. This book is aimed equally at student musicians practising musicians and instrumental and vocal teachers and it aims to help them to begin to understand how and why their bodies function as they do when they perform and also how they may avoid professionally related illness or injury and achieve the highest standards of performance.

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

Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR A New Paradigm for Psychotherapy and Peak Performance

Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR A New Paradigm for Psychotherapy and Peak Performance

Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR combines two hugely influential and effective therapies EMDR therapy and sensorimotor psychotherapy to provide a new approach. In doing so the book supports the widely held view of psychotherapists that in trauma the primary store of neurological information is somatic rather than cognitive. Many therapists trained in EMDR find that additional resources are needed for patients who present with symptoms of complex trauma and dissociation. This is because EMDR is primarily a top-down approach based on CBT with the addition of bilateral stimulation (BLS) in visual tactile and auditory modalities. By contrast Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR takes a body-based and bottom-up approach that seeks to resolve trauma by reprocessing information at multiple levels – in the gut-brain the heart-brain and the head-brain as well as in the endocrine immune and nervous systems. Fully revised since The Art of BART (2015) the book looks at the latest advances in neuroscience including research into the effectiveness of psychotherapy and the mysteries of consciousness and the development of mind. It also looks at the role of newly discovered organs the mesentery and the interstitium and provides clear anatomical evidence for the communication of biophotons in energy channels known as the primo vascular system. SF-EMDR is the only therapy that fully integrates Western theories of affective neuroscience with Eastern observations on activation of chakras pranas and energies and in doing so it offers strong potential for enhanced outcomes and optimized performance for patients. | Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR A New Paradigm for Psychotherapy and Peak Performance

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

Emission Trajectories and Mitigation Schemes for China

Emission Trajectories and Mitigation Schemes for China

This book seeks to model the possible emission trajectories and identify the feasible mitigation schemes for China to meet its climate commitments to peak emissions before 2030 and net zero emissions before 2060. In line with these ambitions China has taken a number of measures to improve carbon efficiency and energy structure in recent years. The book first analyzes changes in the carbon footprint at the city level identify the different pathways to peak emissions by province and industry and develop a bottom-up approach to determining when and how China could reach peak emissions. It then illustrates how the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) reduces abatement costs and examines the cost-saving effects under carbon intensity reduction and peak emissions targets. Based on the findings and the status quo in China the authors propose a multicriteria allocation scheme for carbon emission allowances at the provincial level and quantify the impact of sectoral coverage on the abatement costs of the ETS by developing a cost-based approach to sectoral coverage in China. In addition the co-benefits between CO2 and PM2. 5 reductions as a result of the ETS operation are elaborated. The book will benefit researchers and policy-makers interested in environmental governance climate policy environmental economics and sustainable development. | Emission Trajectories and Mitigation Schemes for China

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
