Download or read book System Scenario based Design Principles and Applications written by Francky Catthoor and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces a generic and systematic design-time/run-time methodology for handling the dynamic nature of modern embedded systems, without adding large safety margins in the design. The techniques introduced can be utilized on top of most existing static mapping methodologies to deal effectively with dynamism and to increase drastically their efficiency. This methodology is based on the concept of system scenarios, which group system behaviors that are similar from a multi-dimensional cost perspective, such as resource requirements, delay, and energy consumption. Readers will be enabled to design systems capable to adapt to current inputs, improving system quality and/or reducing cost, possibly learning on-the-fly during execution. Provides an effective solution to deal with dynamic system design Includes a broad survey of the state-of-the-art approaches in this domain Enables readers to design for substantial cost improvements (e.g. energy reductions), by exploiting system scenarios Demonstrates how the methodology has been applied effectively on various, real design problems in the embedded system context

Download or read book The Principles of Economics with Applications to Practical Problems written by Frank A. Fetter and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frank Fetter's 1904 treatise, 'Principles of Economics', pioneered a general theory of economics in the Austrian tradition. By tracing economic laws to individual human action, Fetter demonstrated that the price of each consumer good is determined solely by subjective value and the rate of interest solely by time preference. His work on capital and interest, rudimentary theory of the trade cycle, and refutation of productivity theories of interest went unsurpassed for decades. 'Principles of Economics' is a seminal work that laid the foundation for modern Austrian economics and remains a must-read for any student of economics today.

Download or read book Education and the Cult of Efficiency written by Raymond E. Callahan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1964-03-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raymond Callahan's lively study exposes the alarming lengths to which school administrators went, particularly in the period from 1910 to 1930, in sacrificing educational goals to the demands of business procedures. He suggests that even today the question still asked is: "How can we operate our schools?" Society has not yet learned to ask: "How can we provide an excellent education for our children?"
Download or read book African Experience in the Application of the Development Aid Effectiveness Principles written by Daniel Kipleel Borter and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-25 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the diffusion and implementation of Aid Effectiveness Principles in Kenya’s agricultural sector. Although Aid Effectiveness Principles represent a significant step in aid and development discourse, studies on its implementation remain inadequate, especially in the African context. This book combines the perspectives of the Kenyan government, donor representatives and small-scale farmers. The discussion on Kenya brings in comparative perspectives and, therefore, would have broader relevance to the African region, in general. It highlights a disconnect between the government and farmers concerning the ownership concept, where farmers lack a voice in important policy matters. The book shows that donors have exploited the weaknesses in government responses to interpret The Principles in ways that suit their strategic interests. Consequently, the book argues that the diffusion of Aid Effectiveness Principles has taken the form of symbolic imitation – a form of policy diffusion where the policymakers choose policies for their symbolic value rather than their effectiveness.
Download or read book Corrosion Inhibitors Principles and Recent Applications written by Mahmood Aliofkhazraei and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-04-04 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To protect metals or alloys from corrosion, some methods can be used such as isolating the structure from the aggressive media or compensating the loss of electrons from the corroded structure. The use of corrosion inhibitors may include organic and inorganic compounds that adsorb on the metallic structure to isolate it from its surrounding media to decrease oxidation-reduction processes. This book collects new developments about corrosion inhibitors and their recent applications.

Download or read book The ETTO Principle Efficiency Thoroughness Trade Off written by Professor Erik Hollnagel and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accident investigation and risk assessment have for decades focused on the human factor, particularly ‘human error’. This bias towards performance failures leads to a neglect of normal performance. It assumes that failures and successes have different origins so there is little to be gained from studying them together. Erik Hollnagel believes this assumption is false and that safety cannot be attained only by eliminating risks and failures. The alternative is to understand why things go right and to amplify that. The ETTO Principle looks at the common trait of people at work to adjust what they do to match the conditions. It proposes that this efficiency-thoroughness trade-off (ETTO) is normal. While in some cases the adjustments may lead to adverse outcomes, these are due to the same processes that produce successes.
Download or read book Management Strategies for Water Use Efficiency and Micro Irrigated Crops written by Megh R. Goyal and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management Strategies for Water Use Efficiency and Micro Irrigated Crops presents new research and technologies for making better use of water resources for agricultural purposes. The chapters focus on better management to improve allocation and irrigation water efficiency and look at performance factors as well. Chapters look at irrigation technology, environmental conditions, and scheduling of water application. One section of the book focuses on water management in the cultivation of sugarcane, a very important industrial crop used in many fields. Other sections are devoted to principles and challenging technologies, water use efficiency for drip-irrigated crops, performance of fertigated rice under micro irrigation, and evaluation of performance of drip-irrigated crops. This valuable book is a must for those struggling to find ways to address the need to maintain efficient crop production in the midst of water shortages. With chapters from hands-on experts in the field, the book will be an invaluable reference and guide to effective micro irrigation methods.
Download or read book Evaluating Research Efficiency in the U S Environmental Protection Agency written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-06-17 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new book from the National Research Council recommends changes in how the federal government evaluates the efficiency of research at EPA and other agencies. Assessing efficiency should be considered only one part of gauging a program's quality, relevance, and effectiveness. The efficiency of research processes and that of investments should be evaluated using different approaches. Investment efficiency should examine whether an agency's R&D portfolio, including the budget, is relevant, of high quality, matches the agency's strategic plan. These evaluations require panels of experts. In contrast, process efficiency should focus on "inputs" (the people, funds, and facilities dedicated to research) and "outputs" (the services, grants, publications, monitoring, and new techniques produced by research), as well as their timelines and should be evaluated using quantitative measures. The committee recommends that the efficiency of EPA's research programs be evaluated according to the same standards used at other agencies. To ensure this, OMB should train and oversee its budget examiners so that the PART questionnaire is implemented consistently and equitably across agencies.
