Computerization in Developing Countries - Per Lind - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Computerization in Developing Countries - Per Lind - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Originally published in 1991, this book looks at the problems of applying Western computer programmes to the developing world, arguing that the difficulties are as much cultural as technological. The author shows that the underlying models for computer applications are made up from interpretations of reality which are closely related to Western scientific, technological and cultural development originating from the Renaissance. The book includes a case study of an Egyptian manufacturing company, which reveals the actual problems encountered in the process of computerization.

Practical Multi-Projector Display Design - Aditi Majumder - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Practical Multi-Projector Display Design - Aditi Majumder - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Large-area high-resolution displays are essential for scientific visualization, entertainment, and defense applications. A popular way to realize such displays is to tile multiple projectors together to create one large display. As opposed to a 19” diagonal monitor with a resolution of 60 pixels per inch, tiled multi-projector displays are often 10’ x 8’ and have a resolution of 100-300 pixels per inch. The research in this area spans several traditional areas in computer science, including computer vision, computer graphics, image processing, human-computer interaction, and visualization tools. This book shows how to make such displays inexpensive, flexible, and commonplace by making them both perceptually and functionally seamless. In addition, the use of multi-projector techniques in large-scale visualization, virtual reality, computer graphics, and vision applications is discussed.

LeanSpeak - Mary A. Junewick - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

LeanSpeak - Mary A. Junewick - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

This dictionary, specific to lean business processes, contains over 500 terms used in lean management and manufacturing. Easy to access, accurate, and comprehensive, LeanSpeak will become the desktop tool of choice for lean manufacturing practitioners, from the shop floor to the corner office. Here are some examples of entries in LeanSpeak: gemba: Japanese word of which the literal translation is "the real place." In the manufacturing field, gemba means the shop floor, where the actual product is being made, as contrasted to the office, where support services are provided. lean: shorthand to refer to a lean manufacturing system, of which the Toyota Production System is the foremost example, that has relatively little non-value-adding waste and maximum flow. The term has been used pejoratively to refer to anti-labor practices intending to reduce the number of workers within a company and to strong-arm tactics with suppliers. takt time: the rate at which product must be turned out to satisfy market demand. It is determined by dividing the available production time by the rate of customer demand. For example, if customers demand 240 widgets per day and the factory operates 480 minutes per day, takt time is two minutes. If customers want two new products designed per month, takt time is two weeks. It is a calculated number, not a reflection of your capability. It sets the pace of production to match the rate of customer demand. Also available as an ebook in Microsoft Reader, Adobe Acrobat Reader, or Palm Reader formats.

Planning, Housing and Infrastructure for Smart Villages - Hemanta (the University Of Melbourne Doloi - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Some 7.3 billion people currently live on the planet. Of these, 3.4 billion live in rural areas. In just a few regions—Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa—less than 50 per cent of poverty is now located in rural areas. But for the rest of the world''s regions between 55 per cent and 80 per cent of the poor continue to live in the countryside. Progress is being made, but much of the knowhow needed is not disseminated outside of a small coterie of professionals who work in the area. With urban development attracting a great deal of attention lately, poorer rural areas deserve the same and new knowledge for empowerment of rural communities is urgently needed. This book provides an overview of current thinking and practices that have emerged over the last thirty years for uplifting rural communities in developing economies. Drawing on a body of knowledge across a spectrum of relevant disciplines, this book provides a range of innovative ideas for rural planning, housing and infrastructure development. Governments in many emerging economies, where rural poverty is often most acute, have attempted to improve livelihoods. Approaches and techniques that have been used for urban development are often not applicable to rural communities. Studies show that money allocated for rural development is often not effectively spent due to distance, lack of infrastructure, lack of education, poverty and other factors. Meanwhile, the gap in development between the city and country continues to grow, sometimes leading to social and political instability, in both developing and developed countries. This book seeks to provide a guidebook for meeting such challenges. Through in-depth enquiry of global practices and thinking about rural development, and selected case studies, the authors argue that careful consideration must be given to incorporating issues of resilience, resourcefulness and the involvement of communities at grassroots levels in realising the transformation of rural settlements into Smart Villages.

Technological Transformation in the Third World: Volume 1 - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Technological Transformation in the Third World: Volume 1 - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Originally published in 1993, this book contains 4 studies on Asia: Bangladesh, India, South Korea and Sri Lanka. The studies reflect 4 different patterns of technological transformation. India, with its large populaiton has made considerable progress but its overall development has been slow until recently. At the other extreme, South Korea which had a very low per capita income in the 1950s registered a quantum leap in technological transformation within a short span of 30 years. The heritage of Bangladesh''s past has constrained its progress in overcoming structural weaknesses but in comparison, Sri Lanka displays a very different pattern. The sources used draw upon research in development economics, economic history, technology and studies in general and country studies in particular.

New Technologies and Work - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

New Technologies and Work - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Originally published in 1989 this book is a valuable contribution to the development of a non-technological approach in the study of technology and work. The studies compare the introduction and implementation of new technology at work in similar enterprises throughout Europe. The contributors share the basic assumption that the impact of technology varies greatly according to the characteristics of the country and its socioeconomic system. They view changes in work as the result of the complex combinations and interactions of such conditions and technology, rather than of technology per se, and their focus is therefore on the mechanisms and processes which come into play when new technology is being introduced. The book''s international scope makes it a rich empirical source of comparative material.

Learning To Say Goodbye - Rosalie Peck - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Learning To Say Goodbye - Rosalie Peck - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

First published in 1987. Why is it so difficult to ''let go'' or say ''goodbye'' to those we love? Death is inevitable. We live with it everyday through others we know, through often short-lived per-ts, on TV and in the news. Yet, when it happens to us, to our parents mainly, why are we so hesitant to say ''goodbye''? Religion teaches that we go on to something so much better, yet we ''hang on'' to those who are ready o leave. This book deals with these emotions. It explains that they are normal and natural. It teaches us to deal with our emotions and how to go about accepting the inevitable. In doing all this, the book also teaches us something of our morality. This is a book that belongs in everyone''s family library.

Perspectives on Anger and Emotion - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Perspectives on Anger and Emotion - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

In this volume, Berkowitz develops the argument that experiential and behavioral components of an emotional state are affected by many processes: some are highly cognitive in nature; others are automatic and involuntary. Cognitive and associative mechanisms theoretically come into play at different times in the emotion-cognition sequence. The model he proposes, therefore, integrates theoretical positions that previously have been artificially segregated in much of the emotion-cognition literature. The breadth of the implications of Berkowitz''s theory is also reflected in the diversity of this book''s companion chapters. Written by researchers whose work focuses on both social cognition and emotion, these articles provide important insights and possible extensions of the "cognitive-neoassociationistic" conceptualization developed in the target article. Although each chapter is a valuable contribution in its own right, this volume, taken as a whole, is a timely and important contribution both to social cognition and to research and theory on emotion per se.

Cuba - Andro Nodarse Leon - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book is a study of Cuba''s economic development under communism over the last fifty-five years. The authors find that Cuba''s socioeconomic development has gone backward since the Cuban Revolution in 1959. The authors conclude that Fidel Castro''s revolution has been an economic disaster for Cuba. The book first outlines Cuba''s economic position prior to the revolution. It reviews Cuba''s rankings with respect to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in the 1950s and examines the strength of pre-Castro Cuba''s foreign reserves and the health of its monetary system. It also presents pre-Castro Cuba''s investments in health care and education and documents the island''s development potential in the 1950s. The last few chapters describe the precipitous decline in all of these areas of Cuba''s economy under Castro. Despite the socioeconomic catastrophe of the Castro years, the authors envision a post-Castro Cuba, where this book can provide a benchmark to measure the developmental success that the Cuban work-ethic and entrepreneurial spirit can generate in a free-market system.
