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

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

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

The Angloargentine Connection 19001939

The Angloargentine Connection 19001939

At the opening of the twentieth century Britain's influence in Argentina was at its peak and resembled in certain ways its position in countries such as Australia and Canada. Yet in the following generation British preeminence was persistently threatened and Argentina's prospects plunged into a seemingly irreversible decline. Why did the Anglo-Argentine connection which appeared so mutually beneficial in 1900 become strained to the breaking point by 1939? This book shows that Britain's efforts in Argentina were usually more pathetic than imperialistic but that in periods of difficulty (1914 to 1918 and in the 1930s) British pressure unwittingly helped into power a political party that brought destruction not merely to British interests but also to the Argentine Republic's future promise. | The Angloargentine Connection 19001939
