Logistics, Supply Chain and Financial Predictive Analytics: Theory and Practices (Asset Analytics)

This book addresses a broad range of problems commonly encountered in the fields of financial analysis, logistics and supply chain management, such as the use of big data analytics in the banking sector. Divided into twenty chapters, some of the contemporary topics discussed in the book are co-operative/non-cooperative supply chain models for imperfect quality items with trade-credit financing; a non-dominated sorting water cycle algorithm for the cardinality constrained portfolio problem; and determining initial, basic and feasible solutions for transportation problems by means of the “supply demand reparation method” and “continuous allocation method.” In addition, the book delves into a comparison study on exponential smoothing and the Arima model for fuel prices; optimal policy for Weibull distributed deteriorating items varying with ramp type demand rate and shortages; an inventory model with shortages and deterioration for three different demand rates; outlier labeling methods for medical data; a garbage disposal plant as a validated model of a fault-tolerant system; and the design of a “least cost ration formulation application for cattle”; a preservation technology model for deteriorating items with advertisement dependent demand and trade credit; a time series model for stock price forecasting in India; and asset pricing using capital market curves. The book offers a valuable asset for all researchers and industry practitioners working in these areas, giving them a feel for the latest developments and encouraging them to pursue further research in this direction.

Logistische Netzwerke

Der Autor stellt industriespezifische und branchenübergreifende logistische Designprinzipien für erfolgreiche Netzmodelle in den Bereichen Industrie, Handel und Transportdienstleistung vor. Für die 2. Auflage wurde u. a. die Analyse zum Thema Nachhaltigkeit vertieft, der Autor hat außerdem mit zusätzlichen Fallbeispielen und Schaubildern die Verständlichkeit verbessert und widmet den methodologischen Grundlagen jetzt ein eigenes Kapitel. Dadurch werden Wissenschaft und Praxis noch stärker miteinander verzahnt.

Logistische Netzwerke

Die 3. Auflage dieses erfolgreichen Buches wurde inhaltlich an die aktuellen Entwicklungen in der Praxis und an die weiterentwickelte Fachliteratur angepasst. Es geht in wichtigen Punkten, wie etwa der Organisation von Netzwerken, dem Service-Design oder dem Outsourcing logistischer Dienstleistungen deutlich mehr in die Tiefe. Auch die grundsätzliche Kritik am Supply Chain Management wurde pointierter herausgearbeitet. Das im Detail relativ komplexe Modell mehrstufiger Distributionssysteme wurde zum Zwecke einer besseren Verständlichkeit seiner mathematischen und statistischen Grundlagen komplett neu aufgesetzt und dabei gestrafft, wobei auf umständliche Beweisführungen aus didaktischen Gründen verzichtet wurde.

Logistische Netzwerke

Die 4. Auflage dieses erfolgreichen Buches wurde vollständig neu bearbeitet. Themen wie Netzwerkmanagement und -konfiguration, Servicedesign, Multi-Channel-Logistik und Outsourcing werden behandelt. Besonders erwähnenswert sind die ausführliche Erörterung des grundlegenden Themas „Komplexität“ und die Neueinführung des Kapitels „Citylogistik“. Insgesamt trägt das Buch der Tatsache Rechnung, dass sich logistische Konzepte jedweder Art mehr denn je in einem komplexen und hochdynamischen Umfeld bewähren müssen. Das Verständnis dieses Umfelds und die Umsetzung der Konzepte und Ideen im Unternehmen, werden dem Leser durch vielfältige Praxisbeispiele erleichtert.

Logistische Netzwerke

Arbeiten zu Logistik und Supply Chain Management sind oft auf das Design logistischer Prozesse fokussiert. Fragen der Ressourcenarchitektur kommen nur am Rande vor.

It takes a long time to make the best of your enterprise systems so businesses must stop looking for the next technology 'silver bullet' and instead maximize the value of existing IT investments.

The Long Evolution of Brains and Minds

The main topic of the book is a reconstruction of the evolution of nervous systems and brains as well as of mental-cognitive abilities, in short “intelligence” from simplest organisms to humans. It investigates to which extent the two are correlated. One central topic is the alleged uniqueness of the human brain and human intelligence and mind. It is discussed which neural features make certain animals and humans intelligent and creative: Is it absolute or relative brain size or the size of “intelligence centers” inside the brains, the number of nerve cells inside the brain in total or in such “intelligence centers” decisive for the degree of intelligence, of mind and eventually consciousness? And which are the driving forces behind these processes? Finally, it is asked what all this means for the classical problem of mind-brain relationship and for a naturalistic theory of mind.

The Long Game: Inside Sinn Féin

Inside the rise of the political party, once subordinate to the IRA, that is on the brink of taking power in Ireland Sinn Féin, long widely-regarded as the political wing of the Provisional IRA, is the most popular political party in both Northern Ireland and the Republic. A movement once synonymous with a paramilitary campaign is on the brink of taking real power through purely democratic means. But if Sinn Féin has mastered the art of electoral politics, it remains strangely opaque. Who really runs the party? How is it funded? And what can we expect of it as a party of government?Aoife Moore, Irish Journalist of the Year 2021. explores these and other burning questions in The Long Game. Drawing on exclusive interviews with current and former members of Sinn Féin, she builds up a picture of a party undergoing a profound, and still incomplete, transformation. She looks at the key individuals and moments that put the party on its present course, and she explores tensions within the party and the wider republican movement.Packed with revelatory details, The Long Game is a groundbreaking telling of contemporary Ireland's biggest and most elusive political story.

Long-Term Climatic Variations: Data and Modelling (Nato ASI Subseries I: #22)

Climate is the most important component of the Earth's environment and climatic fluctuations have a strong impact on water supplies, vegetation, energy use etc. Thus our understanding of the climatic system is of utmost importance. Leading experts in the field of climate modelling and paleoclimatology present the most recent methods for reconstructing past climatic variations and for modelling the climatic system and its evolution. The first of three parts is devoted to the climatic system and the physical basis for its modelling; the second summarizes the evolution of the global atmosphere, the ocean, the continents, the biosphere, and the ice sheets during recent climatic cycles; the last part focusses on the understanding of past and future climatic changes.

Long Term Evolution in Unlicensed Bands (SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering)

This SpringerBrief focuses on the coexistence concerns emerging in LTE networks using unlicensed frequency bands. It provides a comprehensive review on LTE networks and their unavoidable need for enhanced capacity to meet the demands for future applications, including a need for low-cost options.LTE using unlicensed frequency (U-LTE) is then introduced as the most promising solution, and discussed from various perspectives to unveil its benefits, challenges, and requirements for coexistence with the widely-deployed IEEE 802.11/Wi-Fi technology. Meeting these coexistence requirements is the most important factor for the acceptance of U-LTE, and the majority of this brief explores the big picture concerns and existing solutions related to coexistence-aware medium access protocols for background knowledge. A proposed network-aware adaptive listen-before-talk protocol is presented and evaluated.Finally, the authors identify a number of open technical questions and potential research issues in U-LTE. This SpringerBrief is suitable for telecom engineers, researchers, and academic professionals with valuable knowledge and potential working or research directions when designing and developing medium access protocols for next generation wireless access networks.
