Alexandra Okada , Simon J. Buckingham Shum , Tony Sherborne, "Knowledge Cartography: Software Tools and Mapping Techniques"
Springer | 2008 | ISBN: 1848001487 | 400 pages | PDF | 35,4 MB
Knowledge Cartography is the discipline of mapping intellectual landscapes.
The focus of this book is on the process by which manually crafting interactive, hypertextual maps clarifies one’s own understanding, as well as communicating it.



The authors see mapping software as a set of visual tools for reading and writing in a networked age. In an information ocean, the primary challenge is to find meaningful patterns around which we can weave plausible narratives. Maps of concepts, discussions and arguments make the connections between ideas tangible and disputable.
With 17 chapters from the leading researchers and practitioners, the reader will find the current state–of-the-art in the field. Part 1 focuses on educational applications in schools and universities, before Part 2 turns to applications in professional communities, but with many cross-cutting themes:
• conceptual frameworks for understanding knowledge cartography
• visual languages, many of which work on both paper and with software
• specialist software, much of it freely available and open source
• case studies reflecting on successes and failures
• ways in which maps can be used both effectively and ineffectively
• examples of how to evaluate maps
• visit the website for updates on the field, and extra resources for each chapter:
www.kmi.open.ac.uk/books/knowledge-cartography
Knowledge Cartography will be of interest to learners, educators, and researchers in all disciplines, as well as policy analysts, scenario planners, knowledge managers and team facilitators. Practitioners will find new perspectives and tools to expand their repertoire, while researchers will find rich enough conceptual grounding for further scholarship.

Giovanni Vulpetti, Les Johnson, Gregory L. Matloff, “Solar Sails: A Novel Approach to Interplanetary Travel ”
CRC | 2008 | ISBN: 0387344047 | 256 pages | PDF | 32,3 MB
Solar sailing is a topic of growing popular and media interest. Solar sail propulsion will make space exploration more affordable and offer access to destinations within (and beyond) the solar system that are currently beyond our reach. This book describes solar sails, how they work and what they will be used for in the exploration of space in an easily readable manner which does not necessitate any prior knowledge of physics or solar sailing. It discusses current plans for solar sails and also describes how advanced technology, such as nanotechnology, might enhance solar-sail performance. Much has been accomplished recently to make solar sail technology very close to becoming an engineering reality and it will soon be used by the world’s space agencies in the exploration of the solar system and beyond.


The book has four parts, each with multiple chapters which, in turn, contain some references and suggested further reading. Parts 1 - 3 are non-mathematical, while Part 4 contains more detailed technical information.

Part 1 summarizes space propulsion systems and technologies. These are the key to any deep space exploration by humans, robots, or both. Solar-sail propulsion will make space exploration more affordable and offer access to destinations within (and beyond) the solar system that are currently beyond our reach.

Part 2 describes the fundamentals of space solar sail propulsion at a non-mathematical level and will include the near-, mid- and far-term missions that might use solar sails as a propulsion system. Near-term missions will study the sun and will carry artifacts and human DNA into deep space. Mid-term missions will go to the outer solar system and into nearby interstellar space. The far-term missions might be possible with very large, ultra-lightweight sails, possibly using beamed energy from space-based lasers, to carry our first spacecraft to another star.

Part 3 outlines solar sail technology and the construction of current and future sailcraft, including the work of both government and private space organizations. Images of sail hardware that has been built, tested and, in some cases, flown will be included. Part 4 will give a more rigorous explanation of solar sail propulsion (supporting Part 1) and the supporting analysis of the missions and technologies discussed in Parts 2 & 3.

Leopold B. Felsen, “Electromagnetic Field Computation by Network Methods”
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 3540939458 | 151 pages | PDF | 1,3 MB
In this monograph, the authors propose a systematic and rigorous treatment of electromagnetic field representations in complex structures. The architecture suggested in this book accommodates use of different numerical methods as well as alternative Green's function representations in each of the subdomains resulting from a partitioning of the overall problem.




The subdomains are regions of space where electromagnetic energy is stored and are described in terms of equivalent circuit representations based either on lumped element circuits or on transmission lines. Connection networks connect the subcircuits representing the subdomains. The connection networks are lossless, don't store energy and represent the overall problem topology. This is similar to what is done in circuit theory and permits a phrasing of the solution of EM field problems in complex structures by Network-oriented methods.

IBM Redbooks "Implementing the IBM System Storage San Volume Controller V4.3"
Vervante | 2008 | ISBN: 073843163X | 970 pages | PDF | 15 MB

This IBM Redbooks publication is an updated, detailed technical guide to the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC), a virtualization appliance solution that maps virtualized volumes visible to hosts and applications to physical volumes on storage devices. Each server within the SAN has its own set of virtual storage addresses, which are mapped to physical addresses. If the physical addresses change, the server continues running using the same virtual addresses it had before. This means that volumes or storage can be added or moved while the server is still running. IBM's virtualization technology improves management of information at the block level in a network, enabling applications and servers to share storage devices on a network. This book covers the following areas: - Storage virtualization high-level overview - Architecture of the SVC - Implementing and configuring the SVC - Using virtualization and advanced copy services functions - Migrating existing storage to the SVC

IBM Redbooks "Sap Applications on IBM Powervm"
Vervante | 2009 | ISBN: 0738485004 | 154 pages | PDF | 4,5 MB

The term virtualization leads to a wealth of definitions. A generic, rather popular scientific description is "In computing, virtualization is a broad term that refers to the abstraction of computer resources." IBM® invented the virtualization technology starting in the 1960s on the mainframe, and the functionalities evolved and were ported to other platforms and improved the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features. With virtualization, you achieve better asset utilization, reduced operating costs, and faster responsiveness to changing business demands.


Every technology vendor in the SAP® ecosystem understands virtualization as slightly different capabilities on different levels (storage and server hardware, CPU, memory, I/O resources or the application, and so on). It is important to understand exactly what functionality is offered and how it supports the customer's business requirements. In this IBM Redbooks® publication, we focus on server virtualization technologies in the IBM Power SystemsTM hardware, AIX® and Linux® on Power space and what they mean specifically for SAP applications running on this platform. We do not repeat information that is already available from other sources unless it is directly related to the IT infrastructure for the SAP solution; therefore, we included a lot of links and references for further information about virtualization in general. SAP customers can leverage the technology that the IBM System p® platform offers. In this book, we describe the technologies and functions, what they mean, and how they apply to the SAP system landscape. SAP currently has no limitations, in general, supporting their products that are running on PowerVMTM technology. If there are specific limitations, we mention them in the individual chapters and compiled them in the list of links in "Related publications" on page 127.

Colin Shaw "The DNA of Customer Experience: How Emotions Drive Value"
Palgrave Macmillan | 2007-07-10 | ISBN: 0230500005 | 288 pages | PDF | 1,5 MB

Show me the money! This is the frantic cry of the "old guard" of senior executives as they desperately struggle to deal with commoditizing markets, the loss of their differentiator and the inevitable impact on profitability.

At the same time the new breed of enlightened, customer-focused executives knowingly smile, seeing the answer is simple: focus on the customer rather than the organization, provide customers with an emotionally engaging experience, and the rest will take care of itself. They understand that the customer experience is the next competitive battleground and that emotions account for over 50% of an experience.



In one case study in this book, an organization adopting this philosophy dealing in a mature market, enjoyed 100% growth in revenues, doubled their customer base, substantially reduced customer churn, increased the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns by 20% and reduced employee attrition by 13%.

As the world thought leaders on customer experience, Colin Shaw and the team at Beyond Philosophy have undertaken more than 18 months of groundbreaking research to discovering the emotions that drive and destroy value in an organization and can now disclose the empirical link between evoking these emotions and substantial financial returns.

By the end of the book you will understand:
* The four clusters of emotions that increase customers' short term spend and drive and destroy customer loyalty
* How to prove that improving your customer experience provides considerable financial returns
* How to evoke these emotions in your customers
* How these emotions affect your "Net Promoter" score and how to use them to improve it
* Why every organization has an Emotional Signature

This book is littered with examples of organizations who already understand the DNA of customer experience and know the power of emotions to gain a competitive edge.

James L. Perry, Annie Hondeghem, “Motivation in Public Management: The Call of Public Service”
Oxford University Press | 2008 | ISBN: 0199234035 | 352 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB
Motivation in Public Management: The Call of Public Service joins a long-standing debate about what drives the behavior of government employees and others who are engaged in the public's business. For many centuries, public service was considered a noble calling and, more recently, a profession. During the latter part of the 20th century, however, many scholars called into question both the reality and desirability of a public service ethic. This book draws upon a substantial and growing body of evidence from across disciplines in the social, behavioral, and natural sciences. It asks and answers key questions about the extent to which behavior is fundamentally self- or other-regarding.




To paraphrase James Madison, "public servants are not angels," but neither are they self-aggrandizing opportunists. The evidence presented in this volume offers a compelling case that motivation theory should be grounded not only in rational choice models, but altruistic and prosocial perspectives as well. In addition to reviewing evidence from many disciplines, the volume extensively reviews research in public management conducted under the rubric of "public service motivation". The volume is a comprehensive guide to history, methodology, empirical research, and institutional and managerial implications of research on public service motivation. As the contributors illustrate, the implications transcend particular sectors or countries.

Christopher Pollitt, “Time, Policy, Management: Governing with the Past”
Oxford University Press | 2008 | ISBN: 0199237727 | 232 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB
In this important new book, Christopher Pollitt, one of the leading researchers in public policy and management, argues that we are guilty of neglecting a fundamental dimension of both the practice and study of contemporary public policymaking and management: that of time.
Pollitt traces the character of, and the reasons for, this neglect in his wide-ranging study. He considers the theoretical options for addressing time in a more sophisticated way, and applies these perspectives both to his own research and that of many others. Finally he looks at the implications for practitioners.



Pollitt's analysis draws on an exceptionally wide range of work from many fields, sectors, and countries. It is rich in examples, concepts, and methods. It poses fundamental questions about some central tendencies in 21st century policymaking, and opens up a new direction for academic research.
