Download or read book Benchmarking Water Services written by Enrique Cabrera Jr and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benchmarking has become a key tool in the water industry to promote and achieve performance targets for utilities. The use of this tool for performance improvement through systematic search and adaptation of leading practices, has expanded globally during the past decade. Many ongoing projects worldwide aim to address different needs and objectives, in varying contexts, with outstanding results and impact. Benchmarking Water Services provides valuable information to everyone interested in benchmarking in the water industry. The text is aimed at utilities considering joining a benchmarking project, experienced practitioners in charge of organizing a benchmarking exercise, consultants, regulators and researchers. The document is presented with a clear practice oriented approach and can be used as a how-to-benchmark guide presented from different perspectives (participants, organizers, supervising bodies). Readers will gain practical insight on real life benchmarking practices and will benefit from the experiences gained in some of the leading benchmarking projects of the water industry (including the IWA-WSAA benchmarking efforts, the European Benchmarking Co-operation and the several benchmarking projects carried out in Austria and Central Europe). The manual also presents the new IWA Benchmarking Framework, which aims to harmonize the terms used to describe benchmarking and performance indicators practices in the water industry, guaranteeing a more fluent and efficient communication. This Manual of Best Practice is edited by the IWA Specialist Group on Benchmarking and Performance Assessment, and co-published by AWWA and IWA Publishing. Praise for Benchmarking Water Services: "The continual trend of conceptual to specifics throughout the book provides for an educational experience each time the book is either casually perused or carefully studied." "The authors (Cabrera, Haskins and Fritiz) diligently pursue the focus of improvement." "Benchmarking Water Services is an in depth and practical ‘must have’ guide for any utility currently engaged in or planning to develop a benchmarking process" - Gregory M. Baird (2012) Benchmarking: An International Journal 19:2.

Sus editores han reunido un grupo de expertos internacionales quienes, desde puntos de vista diferentes, discuten modelos conceptuales, pautas de evaluación y estrategias de tratamiento basados en la evidencia. "El libro contiene capítulos con una variedad de temas incluyendo la evolución histórica del diagnóstico y de los modelos conceptuales sobre el TAG, la discusión de abordajes actuales de tratamiento psicológico y farmacológico del TAG, la presentación de un caso clínico ilustrativo y un capítulo sobre el uso de estrategias clínicas como la identificación de variables moderadoras, mediadoras y de proceso para adaptar el abordaje hacia cada paciente y optimizar la eficacia del tratamiento. Una obra de lectura obligatoria para psicólogos clínicos con interés en mejorar su capacidad para evaluar, comprender y tratar personas que sufren de TAG." Jesús A. Salas (Psy.D. ABPP ACT. Director, Centro de Psicoterapia Integrativa, Profesor, Escuela de Medicina Osteopática de Filadelfia, Depto. de Psicología. Instructor y Supervisor Clínico, Inst. Beck para la Terapia Cognitiva Conductual). "En tiempos en que se discuten los fenómenos transdiagnósticos y se cuestionan las categorías diagnósticas de las clasificaciones clásicas, el paciente que nos consulta, impregnado en todo su funcionamiento psíquico, por la angustia, preocupaciones y sintomatología somático-ansiosa, nos confronta con la necesidad de darle una respuesta. En ese sentido, este trabajo resulta una contribución fundamental para el estado del arte de nuestra disciplina. Obra inclusiva y actualizada, no se detiene en el tratamiento de síntomas, sino que profundiza en hacerse cargo de los mecanismos subyacentes al cuadro clínico. Especialmente aportador es el capítulo del paciente ficticio Darío, quien sintetiza de modo ejemplar al paciente ansioso y pone en un pie forzado a los autores de cada capítulo, obligándolos a desplegar su creatividad aplicando sus respectivos modelos al caso en particular."

Download or read book Qualitative Choice Analysis written by Kenneth Train and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses two significant research areas in an interdependent fashion. It is first of all a comprehensive but concise text that covers the recently developed and widely applicable methods of qualitative choice analysis, illustrating the general theory through simulation models of automobile demand and use. It is also a detailed study of automobile demand and use, presenting forecasts based on these powerful new techniques. The book develops the general principles that underlie qualitative choice models that are now being applied in numerous fields in addition to transportation, such as housing, labor, energy, communications, and criminology. The general form, derivation, and estimation of qualitative choice models are explained, and the major models - logit, probit, and GEV - are discussed in detail. And continuous/discrete models are introduced. In these, qualitative choice methods and standard regression techniques are combined to analyze situations that neither alone can accurately forecast. Summarizing previous research on auto demand, the book shows how qualitative choice methods can be used by applying them to specific auto-related decisions as the aggregate of individuals' choices. The simulation model that is constructed is a significant improvement over older models, and should prove more useful to agencies and organizations requiring accurate forecasting of auto demand and use for planning and policy development. The book concludes with an actual case study based on a model designed for the investigations of the California Energy Commission. Kenneth Train is Visiting Associate Professor in Economics at the University of California, Berkeley, and Director of Economic Research at Cambridge Systematics, Inc., also in Berkeley. Qualitative Choice Analysisis included in The MIT Press Transportation Studies Series, edited by Marvin L. Manheim.

Download or read book Restoration Ecology written by William R. Jordan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1990-08-16 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although interest in ecological restoration has grown rapidly in recent years, restoration efforts have been highly empirical and have therefore been of only marginal interest to theoretical ecologists concerned with the structure and dynamics of communities. The ability to reassemble a community or ecosystem and to make it function properly actually represents a critical test of ecological understanding in the most fundamental sense. It is this idea of restoration as a technique - and even a paradigm - for ecological studies, leading in turn to improved restoration methods, that is the subject of this book.
