Term Indexing


Free Download Term Indexing By J. Bentley (auth.), Peter Graf (eds.)
1995 | 294 Pages | ISBN: 3540610405 | PDF | 4 MB
Term indexing supports the construction of efficient automated reasoning systems, as e.g. automated theorem provers, by allowing rapid access to first order predicate calculus terms with specific properties.This monograph provides a comprehensive, well-written survey on term indexing in general and presents new indexing techniques for the retrieval and maintenance of data that help to overcome program degradation in automated reasoning systems. Theoretical foundations and applicational aspects are treated in detail; finally the PURR prover for parallel unit resulting resolution is discussed to demonstrate the importance of careful implementations.

Prolonged and Long-Term Mechanical Ventilation in Children


Free Download Prolonged and Long-Term Mechanical Ventilation in Children
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819789028 | 435 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 17 MB
This book comprehensively reviews the concept, epidemiology, management strategy, possible therapy and future considerations of children requiring continuous ventilatory support. The chapters discuss both invasive and non-invasive therapy, and the transition from hospital to home ventilation, complications, management of tracheostomy and much more. The book offers insight into ways of reducing the number of children requiring mechanical ventilation and how to manage the complicated situation when it happens. As science advances, the population growth, lower mortality, and increasing complexity of diseases have boosted up the number of patients requiring prolonged breathing assistance with mechanical ventilators. However, there is a few cases in one center with children requiring such intensive care medicine, and so there is no agreed-upon management strategy. This book brings together information and experiences from around the world aiming to improve the quality of medical care and to create a foundation for a clear and effective guide to healthcare professionals.

Long-Term Preservation of Digital Documents Principles and Practices


Free Download Long-Term Preservation of Digital Documents: Principles and Practices By Prof. Dr. Uwe M. Borghoff, Peter Rödig, Lothar Schmitz, Jan Scheffczyk (auth.)
2006 | 274 Pages | ISBN: 3540336397 | PDF | 5 MB
Key to our culture is that we can disseminate information, and then maintain and access it over time. While we are rapidly advancing from vulnerable physical solutions to superior, digital media, preserving and using data over the long term involves complicated research challenges and organization efforts.Uwe Borghoff and his coauthors address the problem of storing, reading, and using digital data for periods longer than 50 years. They briefly describe several markup and document description languages like TIFF, PDF, HTML, and XML, explain the most important techniques such as migration and emulation, and present the OAIS (Open Archival Information System) Reference Model. To complement this background information on the technology issues the authors present the most relevant international preservation projects, such as the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, and experiences from sample projects run by the Cornell University Library and the National Library of the Netherlands. A rated survey list of available systems and tools completes the book.With this broad overview, the authors address librarians who preserve our digital heritage, computer scientists who develop technologies that access data, and information managers engaged with the social and methodological requirements of long-term information access.

Short-Term Group Therapies for Complicated Grief Two Research-Based Models


Free Download Dr. William E. Piper PhD, "Short-Term Group Therapies for Complicated Grief: Two Research-Based Models"
English | ISBN: 1433808439 | 2010 | 290 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Over the past 22 years, William E. Piper and colleagues have developed and tested two models for treating complicated grief (CG) with short-term group therapy. Extensive randomized, controlled clinical trials have demonstrated significantly higher effect sizes for the model treatments than other CG treatments, including individual therapy approaches.

Free Download Tolley’s Managing Fixed-Term & Part-Time Workers. A practical guide to employing temporary and part-time staff By Lynda AC Macdonald, MA FCIPD LCM (Auth.)
2004 | 357 Pages | ISBN: 0754524108 | PDF | 11 MB
Tolley’s Managing Fixed-Term and Part-Time Workers is an essential tool for HR directors and managers, and their advisers. This timely handbook contains comprehensive coverage of the legal and practical implications of the new Fixed-Term Employees (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2002 and the EC Directive on Fixed-Term Work. With almost a quarter of the total UK working population engaged on part-time contracts, there has never been a greater need for employers to understand the latest rights and duties owed to those who work on a part-time, intermittent or job-share basis. This invaluable resource will show you how to deal fairly with agency temps, contractors, freelancers, casual workers, seasonal workers, students working during vacations, part-time employees and temporary workers engaged to cover short-term absence. Combining coverage of the legal background with practical advice on how to ensure your policies and procedures comply with the law, this handbook will enable you to: -understand the laws that impact upon successive fixed-term contracts -treat part-time staff fairly and avoid claims of unlawful discrimination from women who form the majority of the UK’s part-time workforce -draft your own documents using key sample documents – letters of employment, contract clauses and employment policies -save time by giving you access to comprehensive legal and tactical information in one unique handbook, featuring questions and answers, checklists and case studies for ease of use -ensure you are complying with the laws governing equality of treatment for fixed-term and part-time workers This accessible guide explains the latest legislation and case law and offers an array of practical tips and tools to help ensure fairness of treatment for fixed-term and part-time employees.

Optimal Long-Term Operation of Electric Power Systems


Free Download Optimal Long-Term Operation of Electric Power Systems by G. S. Christensen , S. A. Soliman
English | PDF | 1988 | 313 Pages | ISBN : 1468454951 | 21 MB
This book deals with a very important problem in power system planning for countries in which hydrogeneration accounts for the greatest part of the system power production. During the past thirty years many techniques have been developed to cope with the long-term operation of hydro reser voirs. These techniques have been discussed in a number of publications, but they have not until now been documented in book form. This book is intended as the foundation for a special graduate course dealing with aspects of electrical engineering, operational research, water resource research, and applied mathematics. It may also be used for self study by practicing personnel involved in the planning and operation of hydroelectric power systems for utilities, consulting groups, and government regulatory agencies. The book consists of eight chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the historical developments in the field, discusses briefly all techniques used to solve the problem, and summarizes the modeling of hydroplants for long-term operation studies. At the end of the chapter we present in detail an outline of the book.
