Download or read book Success is Assured written by Penny W. Cloft and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Success is Assured" was born from a pair using those design practices over a century ago: The Wright Brothers. They set about methodically learning the causal relationships between the different design decisions they needed to make and the performance of the airplane. The Wright Brothers fundamentally transformed the front end of development into a sharply focused learning and decision-making process, and thereby eliminated the late - process rework in which their competition was stuck. Similarly, Toyota built an amazing manual product development system that consistently created a cadence of high quality products that customers want. Myriads of Lean principles, jargon, and tools have been introduced and applied with minimal impact on design loopbacks, engineering productivity, and knowledge reuse within small to midsize engineering companies – and almost no penetration within highly complex engineering companies. This book teaches methodologies to relentlessly expose knowledge gaps and trade-offs early and optimize results before detailed design begins, thereby avoiding the expensive firefighting and engineering rework that consume most of our engineering capacity today. This book teaches new thinking and methodologies to convert the chaotic front end of product development into a convergent process of set-based learning and continuous innovation – a game changer for companies that depend upon a steady flow of innovative products.

Download or read book Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Powered Smart Finance written by Taneja, Sanjay and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the field of finance, the pervasive influence of algorithms has transformed the very fabric of the industry. Today, over 75% of trades are orchestrated by algorithms, making them the linchpin for trade automation, predictions, and decision-making. This algorithmic reliance, while propelling financial services into unprecedented efficiency, has also ushered in a host of challenges. As the financial sector becomes increasingly algorithm-driven, concerns about risk assessment, market manipulation, and the ethical implications of automated decision-making have taken center stage. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning-Powered Smart Finance, meticulously examines the intersection of computational finance and advanced algorithms and the challenges associated with this technology. As algorithms permeate various facets of financial services, the book takes a deep dive into their applications, spanning forecasting, portfolio optimization, market trends analysis, and cryptoanalysis. It sheds light on the role of AI-based algorithms in personnel selection, implementing trusted financial services, developing recommendation systems for financial platforms, and detecting fraud, presenting a compelling case for the integration of innovative solutions in the financial sector. As the book unravels the intricate tapestry of algorithmic applications in finance, it also illuminates the ethical considerations and governance frameworks essential for navigating the delicate balance between technological innovation and responsible financial practices.

Download or read book Hiding the Guillotine written by Emmanuel Taïeb and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hiding the Guillotine examines the question of state involvement in violence by tracing the evolution of public executions in France. Why did the state move executions from the bloody and public stage of the guillotine to behind prison doors? In a fascinating exploration of a grim subject, Emmanuel Taïeb exposes the rituals and theatrical form of the death penalty and tells us who watched, who participated in, and who criticized (and ultimately brought an end to) a spectacle that the state called "punishment." France's abolition of the death penalty in 1981 has long overshadowed its suppression of public executions over forty years earlier. Since the Revolution, executions attracted tens of thousands of curious onlookers. But, gradually, there was a shift in attitude and the public no longer saw this as a civilized pastime. Why? Combining material from legal archives, police files, an executioner's notebooks, newspaper clippings, and documents relating to 566 executions, Hiding the Guillotine answers this question. Taïeb demonstrates the ways in which the media was at the vanguard of putting an end to the publicity surrounding the death penalty. The press had ample reason to be critical: cities were increasingly being used for leisure activity and prisons for those accused of criminal activity. The agitation surrounding each execution, coupled with a growing identification with the condemned, would blur these boundaries. Ranked among the top hundred history books by the website, Café du Web Historizo, Hiding the Guillotine has much to impart to students of legal history, human rights, and criminology, as well as to American historians.

Download or read book The Complete Book of Five Rings written by Miyamoto Musashi and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete Book of Five Rings is an authoritative version of Musashi’s classic The Book of Five Rings, translated and annotated by a modern martial arts master, Kenji Tokitsu. Tokitsu has spent most of his life researching the legendary samurai swordsman and his works, and in this book he illuminates this seminal text, along with several other works by Musashi. These include "The Mirror of the Way of Strategy," which Musashi wrote when he was in his twenties; "Thirty-five Instructions on Strategy," and "Forty-two Instructions on Strategy," which were precursors to The Book of Five Rings; and "The Way to Be Followed Alone," which Musashi wrote just days before his death. Read together, these five texts give readers an unusually detailed, nuanced view of Musashi’s ideas on swordsmanship, strategy, and self-cultivation. Tokitsu puts all these writings into historical and philosophical context and makes them accessible and relevant to today’s readers and martial arts students. Tokitsu understands Musashi’s writings—and Musashi as a martial artist—unusually well and is able to provide a rare insight into the man and his historical contribution.
