Download or read book The Art of Finding Hidden Risks written by Sidney Resnick and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text gives a comprehensive, largely self-contained treatment of multivariate heavy tail analysis. Emphasizing regular variation of measures means theory can be presented systematically and without regard to dimension. Tools are developed that allow a flexible definition of "extreme" in higher dimensions and permit different heavy tails to coexist on the same state space leading to "hidden regular variation" and "steroidal regular variation". This emphasizes when estimating risks, it is important to choose the appropriate heavy tail. Theoretical foundations lead naturally to statistical techniques; examples are drawn from risk estimation, finance, climatology and network analysis. Treatments target a broad audience in insurance, finance, data analysis, network science and probability modeling. The prerequisites are modest knowledge of analysis and familiarity with the definition of a measure; regular variation of functions is reviewed but is not a focal point.

Download or read book SECRET POWER written by Le Tran Bao Phuong and published by Le Tran Bao Phuong. This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction Easy to understand, deep and profound, Phuong has completely made readers infatuated with his book Secret Power – it is about a type of power which could disseminate profoundly and form powerful thought, opinion or knowledge which in turn can be used to shape the attitude and influence the emotion of the crowd, thus directing the crowd’s behavior according to the will of the user. Phuong also shows us quite a few things about dark PR techniques (Dark Art) in business which are being used to manipulate and to mislead public opinion as well as to eliminate enemies, to help us identify and protect ourselves, thus enhancing our ability to control the society. How to apply the secret power to shape the attitude and to influence the emotion of the crowd will be presented in detail in this book along with many practical examples to help you have an easier time understanding and applying it. One notable thing about the Secret Power is that it contains power of the modern doctrine of PR - a very new approach of PR to the age-old business problems (sales, building and protecting company's reputation). The modern doctrine of PR is more comprehensive than the PR concepts in the past because it contains both value of professional knowledge and value of social contribution. Regarding the value of social contribution, the modern PR doctrine publicizes techniques which can help people perceive PR correctly and make it become more popular to the public. In terms of the value of professional knowledge, the modern PR doctrine shows us how to apply the power of 5 Supreme Arts to help enterprises achieve their goals as well as a sustainable development. As containing in it both the value of professional knowledge and the value of social contribution, this book is considered to be one of the remarkable efforts to bring the PR industry back to its roots and its original mission which is contributing to the building of a healthy information society and a transparent business environment, thus enhancing the society.

Download or read book Contesting Hidden Waters written by W. Todd Jarvis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-23 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world increasingly relies on groundwater resources for drinking water and the provision of food for a growing population. The utilization of aquifer systems also extends beyond freshwater supply to include other resources such as heat extraction and the storage and disposal of substances. Unlike other books about conflict resolution and negotiations over water resources, this volume is unique in focusing exclusively on conflicts over groundwater and aquifers. The author explores the specific challenges presented by these "hidden" resources, which are shown to be very different from those posed by surface water resources. Whereas surface watersheds are static, groundwater boundaries are value-laden and constantly changing during development. The book describes the various issues surrounding the governance and management of these resources and the various parties involved in conflicts and negotiations over them. Through first-hand accounts from a pracademic skilled in both process and substance as a groundwater professional and professional mediator, the book offers options for addressing the challenges and issues through a transdisciplinary approach.

Download or read book The art of privacy written by Luca Bolognini and published by Rubbettino Editore. This book was released on 2022-04-05T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do Titian and Leonardo da Vinci have to do with privacy and (non-) compliance with rules in the era of digital data and algorithms? What do Canaletto’s and Guardi’s vedute have to do with due diligence, or Pietro Longhi’s rooms with smart working? What connects a 16th Century court artist and a 21st Century Data Protection Officer? Can a painter be entirely artificial and non-human, and can a still life be made up – instead of flowers, wildfowl, and bottles – of hardware, software, and obsolete documents? Is an electronic work of art just art or can it hide, or even constitute in and of itself, valid legal titles? Is a copy – of a painting or a legal document – always a forgery and an objectionable offence? In this engaging exploration, which spans centuries of art from its most ancient forms to today’s crypto art, the author – a data protection lawyer and collector – takes us on an extraordinary metaphorical journey, interweaving the sense of beauty and the common sense of regulations, compliance and creativity, the aesthetics of innovation and of penalties. 75 years after Carnelutti’s Art of Law, The Art of Privacy is a unique book that already promises to become a classic of legal literature in years to come. It succeeds in providing the “key of imagination” for scholars, legal consultants, and business managers to free themselves from their specialist cages, while also intriguing and challenging digital art enthusiasts.
Download or read book The Simple Rules of Risk written by Erik Banks and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-03-14 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age where companies and financial institutions are keenly focused on managing the financial risk of their operations, the implementation of quantitative methods and models has been of tremendous help. Tools such as VaR, credit VaR, risk-adjusted returns, and scenario analyses have given institutions the means to quantify and understand their risk profiles. However, the focus on quantitative risk management, while important, can sometimes be over-emphasized--at the expense of logic and experience. At its core, the successful management of risk is still largely an "art." The Simple Rules of Risk takes a fresh look at the qualitative aspects of risk management. It also considers how qualitative approaches can make optimal use of the mathematical aspects of risk management to create the most effective framework possible.

Download or read book Living with HHT written by Sara Palmer and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything you need to know about nosebleeds, arteriovenous malformations, and other symptoms of HHT. Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare genetic disorder that causes blood vessel abnormalities in the nose, skin, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, brain, and liver. Nosebleeds are the most common symptom of HHT, but abnormal vessels in other organs, if they are not diagnosed and treated, can lead to serious medical complications, including stroke, hemorrhage, anemia, and brain abscess. Psychologist Sara Palmer, who has HHT herself and is an expert in helping people cope with health conditions, draws on current research as she thoroughly describes the symptoms of HHT, explains how the diagnosis is made (and often missed), and details treatment options. While addressing the medical aspects of HHT, Palmer also reveals how people affected by the disorder can maintain their emotional health, take care of family members, and live life as fully as possible. Enriched with illustrations, personal stories of people living with HHT, a glossary, and contact information for the HHT Centers of Excellence (which provide coordinated medical treatment for people with the disorder), Living with HHT is a complete resource for individuals with HHT and their families. This guide is also essential for health professionals seeking more information about this underdiagnosed disease.
