The book used in the intermediate accounting course I'm taking doesn't give any answers to homework problems. One could flounder around for years and never know if they are doing the homework correctly. This book begins at a very basic level and guides you along the way with all the sample problems worked out to ensure that you're doing it correctly and then moves on to more difficult problems. I have learned a considerable amount from this workbook.

Between 2003 and 2006, the price of titanium more than doubled. The authors attempt to answer four primary questions: What triggered this price surge? What are titanium1s future market prospects and emerging technologies? What are the implications for the production cost of future military airframes? How might the Department of Defense mitigate the economic risks involved in the titanium market?

Well Testing is recognised by many operating oil and gas companies to be the most hazardous operation they routinely undertake. Therefore, it is of great importance that such operations are extremely well planned and executed.

All managers, whether brand-new to their positions or well established in the corporate hierarchy, can use a little brushing-up now and then. The skills-based Briefcase Books Series is filled with ideas and strategies to help managers become more capable, efficient, effective, and valuable to their corporations. The ability to give a great presentation can be a tremendous career booster, while the opposite can keep a manager on a dead-end path. Presentation Skills for Managers is a practical, advice-filled book on how to create and make compelling and persuasive presentations. Besides reviewing material on preparing and delivering effective presentations, it includes new special coverage of the development and use of Powerpoint slides, something not found in most books on presentations.

A graph complex is a finite family of graphs closed under deletion of edges. Graph complexes show up naturally in many different areas of mathematics, including commutative algebra, geometry, and knot theory. Identifying each graph with its edge set, one may view a graph complex as a simplicial complex and hence interpret it as a geometric object. This volume examines topological properties of graph complexes, focusing on homotopy type and homology. Many of the proofs are based on Robin Forman's discrete version of Morse theory. As a byproduct, this volume also provides a loosely defined toolbox for attacking problems in topological combinatorics via discrete Morse theory. In terms of simplicity and power, arguably the most efficient tool is Forman's divide and conquer approach via decision trees; it is successfully applied to a large number of graph and digraph complexes.

In this accessible biographical guide, relive Europe's most exciting of periods - the time of the Renaissance and the Reformation, the time of da Vinci and Erasmus, and the time of Elizabeth I and Oliver Cromwell. This approximately 1,000-entry, alphabetically arranged work takes in the whole of Europe during the Renaissance and Reformation, covering politics, culture, religion, and science. Intended as a "quick reference source for scholars, students, and members of the wider reading public," the book's clean double-column format and accessible prose suit a broad audience. Though explanations of artistic and literary endeavors are outnumbered by those concerning history and politics, the approach is nonetheless effectively cross-disciplinary.

Traffic Grooming for Optical Networks: Foundations, Techniques and Frontiers covers the principles, technology, practice, and future of traffic grooming in optical networks. Traffic grooming is the name given to a family of optical network design and resource allocation algorithms that can enable cost-efficient use of both network bandwidth and electronic switching. This book provides an authoritative point of reference to traffic grooming developments including Synchronous Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH) and Generic Framing Procedure (GFP).

Assembled in this volume is a collection of some of the state-of-the-art methods that are using computer vision and machine learning techniques as applied in robotic applications. Currently there is a gap between research conducted in the computer vision and robotics communities. This volume discusses contrasting viewpoints of computer vision vs. robotics, and provides current and future challenges discussed from a research perspective.

The authors have written a rigorous yet elementary and self-contained book to present, in a unified framework, generalized convex functions, which are the many non-convex functions that share at least one of the valuable properties of convex functions and which are often more suitable for describing real-world problems. The book will be a useful tool not only for researchers, but also for graduates and advanced students working in economics, mathematical programming, the management sciences and operations research. It begins with a review of convex analysis and the fundamental theoretical findings on generalized convexity and on optimization, including their applications. The text continues with an introductory chapter devoted to generalized monotonicity and its relationship to generalized convexity, with the characterizations of important classes of fractional programming, and with theoretical properties and sequential methods. The book also includes numerous exercises and two appendices which list the findings consulted.
