Chains of Opportunity

Chains of Opportunity

Mark D. Bowles

The University of Akron Press
2008

While "plastics" was a one-word joke in the 1967 movie The Graduate, plastics and other polymers have never been a laughing matter at the University of Akron, with its world-renowned College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering. This book tells the story of the university's rise to prominence in the field, beginning with the world's first academic course in rubber chemistry almost a century ago. The book explores the university's pioneering contributions to rubber chemistry, polymer science, and polymer engineering. It traces the school's industrial interactions with Akron rubber giants such as Goodyear and Firestone, recounts its administration of the federal government's synthetic rubber program during World War II, and describes its role in the development and professionalisation of the academic discipline in polymers. The University of Akron has been an essential force in establishing the polymer age that has become a pervasive part of our material lives, in everything from toys to biotechnology.

Strategic and Tactical Aspects of Closed-Loop Supply Chains

Strategic and Tactical Aspects of Closed-Loop Supply Chains

Mark Ferguson

now publishers Inc
2010
nidottu
Today's common business practice of extracting non-renewable raw materials from the earth, processing them, turning them into products, selling the products to customers, and then having the customers dispose of the products in a landfill or through incineration is not sustainable. Eventually, the basic raw materials that are used to build most of the products our economy is based on will run out, or become prohibitively expensive to extract. Cognizant of this fact, many firms are taking a closer look at their supply chain practices and exploring ways to reduce the amount of their product that ends up in landfills. They do so by finding profitable ways to recover their used products for remanufacturing, refurbishing, or recycling.The study of these efforts has been termed Closed-Loop Supply Chains. Strategic and Tactical Aspects of Closed-Loop Supply Chains reviews the recent research in this field with a particular focus on the strategic and tactical issues. Representative models from each area are presented along with their key managerial insights, providing the reader with both a high level overview and an in-depth look at the common assumptions and modeling frameworks that are used. Where appropriate, suggestions for needed research are pointed out.

Probability and Statistics by Example: Volume 2, Markov Chains: A Primer in Random Processes and their Applications

Probability and Statistics are as much about intuition and problem solving as they are about theorem proving. Because of this, students can find it very difficult to make a successful transition from lectures to examinations to practice, since the problems involved can vary so much in nature. Since the subject is critical in many modern applications such as mathematical finance, quantitative management, telecommunications, signal processing, bioinformatics, as well as traditional ones such as insurance, social science andengineering, the authors have rectified deficiencies in traditional lecture-based methods by collecting together a wealth of exercises with complete solutions, adapted to needs and skills of students. Following on from the success of Probability and Statistics by Example: Basic Probability and Statistics, the authors here concentrate on random processes, particularly Markov processes, emphasising modelsrather than general constructions. Basic mathematical facts are supplied as and when they are needed andhistorical information is sprinkled throughout.

Unsettling Truths – The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery

Unsettling Truths – The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery

Mark Charles; Soong–chan Rah

IVP Books
2019
nidottu
ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award American Society of Missiology Book Award ? Publishers Weekly starred review You cannot discover lands already inhabited. Injustice has plagued American society for centuries. And we cannot move toward being a more just nation without understanding the root causes that have shaped our culture and institutions. In this prophetic blend of history, theology, and cultural commentary, Mark Charles and Soong-Chan Rah reveal the far-reaching, damaging effects of the "Doctrine of Discovery." In the fifteenth century, official church edicts gave Christian explorers the right to claim territories they "discovered." This was institutionalized as an implicit national framework that justifies American triumphalism, white supremacy, and ongoing injustices. The result is that the dominant culture idealizes a history of discovery, opportunity, expansion, and equality, while minority communities have been traumatized by colonization, slavery, segregation, and dehumanization. Healing begins when deeply entrenched beliefs are unsettled. Charles and Rah aim to recover a common memory and shared understanding of where we have been and where we are going. As other nations have instituted truth and reconciliation commissions, so do the authors call our nation and churches to a truth-telling that will expose past injustices and open the door to conciliation and true community.

Dying for an iPhone

Dying for an iPhone

Jenny Chan; Mark Selden; Pun Ngai

Pluto Press
2020
sidottu
Suicides, excessive overtime, hostility and violence on the factory floor in China. Drawing on vivid testimonies from rural migrant workers, student interns, managers and trade union staff, Dying for an iPhone is a devastating expose of two of the world's most powerful companies: Foxconn and Apple. As the leading manufacturer of iPhones, iPads and Kindles, and employing one million workers in China alone, Taiwanese-invested Foxconn's drive to dominate global electronics manufacturing has aligned perfectly with China's goal of becoming the world leader in technology. This book reveals the human cost of that ambition and what our demands for the newest and best technology mean for workers. Foxconn workers have repeatedly demonstrated their power to strike at key nodes of transnational production, challenge management and the Chinese state, and confront global tech behemoths. Dying for an iPhone allows us to assess the impact of global capitalism's deepening crisis on workers.

Design and Analysis of Non-Inferiority Trials

Design and Analysis of Non-Inferiority Trials

Mark D. Rothmann; Brian L. Wiens; Ivan S.F. Chan

CRC Press
2020
nidottu
The increased use of non-inferiority analysis has been accompanied by a proliferation of research on the design and analysis of non-inferiority studies. Using examples from real clinical trials, Design and Analysis of Non-Inferiority Trials brings together this body of research and confronts the issues involved in the design of a non-inferiority trial. Each chapter begins with a non-technical introduction, making the text easily understood by those without prior knowledge of this type of trial. Topics covered include: A variety of issues of non-inferiority trials, including multiple comparisons, missing data, analysis population, the use of safety margins, the internal consistency of non-inferiority inference, the use of surrogate endpoints, trial monitoring, and equivalence trialsSpecific issues and analysis methods when the data are binary, continuous, and time-to-eventThe history of non-inferiority trials and the design and conduct considerations for a non-inferiority trialThe strength of evidence of an efficacy finding and how to evaluate the effect size of an active control therapy A comprehensive discussion on the purpose and issues involved with non-inferiority trials, Design and Analysis of Non-inferiority Trials will assist current and future scientists and statisticians on the optimal design of non-inferiority trials and in assessing the quality of non-inferiority comparisons done in practice.
