The United States has sought to combat security threats in Africa principally by supporting partner governments, and security sector assistance (SSA) has been one of the primary tools it has used. A RAND Corporation study used statistical models to evaluate the impact that U.S.-provided SSA has had on political violence in Africa--in particular, the incidence of civil wars and insurgencies, terrorist attacks, and state repression.

Personal Financial Planning for Executives and Entrepreneurs

Personal Financial Planning for Executives and Entrepreneurs

Effective financial planning for executives and entrepreneurs is complex, dense, and impossible to reduce to a single, easy-to-understand formula. Designed to emphasize the importance of successful, targeted financial planning, this book begins by telling a story about a fictional, but plausible, power couple and their family who (spoiler alert!) do pretty much everything wrong in securing their financial future. In most cases, they don’t do the things needed because they don’t know what they are. Using this story as a case study of an executive and an entrepreneur, the book breaks down the case into chapters and offers practical discussions of all the key financial planning components—investment planning, tax planning, estate planning, philanthropic planning, risk management, and equity-based compensation to name a few—with the tools needed to tailor a plan for virtually every circumstance and need. While there is no single plan that works for everybody, this book provides a guide, with technical information alongside general themes, focused on how to build an effective financial plan. In addition to all the benefits of the first edition, this second edition provides significant new content and insights for the entrepreneur who is planning for a future liquidity event such as a sale. It also provides detail on how to manage concentrated ownership positions and on ESG investment strategies, a rapidly growing investment theme. Finally, the second edition includes tax, estate planning, regulatory, and other updates to reflect changes since the first edition was published.

Hydrogen in Crystalline Semiconductors

Hydrogen in Crystalline Semiconductors

Stephen J. Pearton; James W. Corbett; Michael Stavola

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
1992
nidottu
This monograph arose out of the recognition of the importance of hydrogen in modern semiconductor technology. Hydrogen is a component of most chemicals used in the fabrication of electronic and photonic devices, is easily incorporated into semiconductors and it is a model impurity for studying defect reactions in solids. While writing this volume we have received a good deal of encourage- ment from our colleagues at AT&T Bell Laboratories, State University of New York at Albany and Lehigh University, and from collaborators at other institutions: to them we extend our sincere appreciation. In particular we would like to thank W. e. Dautremont-Smith, J. Lopata, V. Swamina- than, K. Bergman, L. e. Synder, P. Deak, J. T. Borenstein, T. S. Shi, D. Tul- chinsky, G. G. DeLeo, W. B. Fowler, G. D. Watkins and D. Kozuch for their crucial contributions to this work. We would also like to thank Mrs. Danuta Sowinska-Kahn for her unfailing expertise in preparing much of the art- work. Finally we owe a great debt to Helmut Lotsch of Springer-Verlag for his initial suggestion to write this book and then his patient and professional guidance in seeing the project to fruition.

As competitive pressures increase for improved, more efficient performance and interoperability among networks, your ability to accurately specify equipment and network applications becomes more critical than ever before. Meet that challenge by better understanding, relating and applying two key model-based methods for specifying transport equipment, interoperability, and management. This manual demonstrates how to combine these two methods for a holistic approach to supporting today's complex networks. It covers the Functional Modelling approach used for specification of telecommunications networks and equipment and the Open Distributed Processing (ODP) approach for specification of TC network management; provides an overview of important Unified Modelling Language (UML) constructs used to express ODP-based management specifications; and tackles issues associated with inter-domain management arising from the inherent complexity of management applications and networks, administrative drivers, and the advent of new technologies.

The Naked Voice

The Naked Voice

Smith W. Stephen; Michael Chipman

Oxford University Press Inc
2007
sidottu
In The Naked Voice, W. Stephen Smith invites all singers to improve their vocal technique through his renowned and time-tested wholistic method. Focusing not only on the most important technical, but also on the often overlooked psychological and spiritual elements of learning to sing, his book allows readers to develop their own full and individual identities as singers. With philosophies and techniques drawn from a lifetime of teaching voice, Smith demonstrates how one can reveal the true unique sound of one's own voice by singing with the whole self. The master's method, presented in concrete and comprehensible terms with helpful illustrations, is enhanced by a CD containing exercises performed by singers from Smith's own studio-singers whose talent and training bring them across the USA and around the world. The clear and easy style of The Naked Voice welcomes the reader into Smith's teaching studio, and into conversation with Smith himself as he presents the six simple and elegant exercises that form the core of his method. These exercises provide a foundation for free singing, and lead singers through the step-by-step process of mastering the technique. Throughout, Smith speaks sympathetically and encouragingly to the singer in search of an unencumbered and effective approach to the art. The Naked Voice is a must-read for all singers, giving teachers and students, amateurs and professionals, access to the methods and concepts that have earned Smith his reputation as one of the most highly-sought-after vocal instructors in the international arena today.

Islands of Order

Islands of Order

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS
2019
sidottu
Two pioneering anthropologists reveal how complexity science can help us better understand how societies change over timeOver the past two decades, anthropologist J. Stephen Lansing and geneticist Murray Cox have explored dozens of villages on the islands of the Malay Archipelago, combining ethnographic research with research into genetic and linguistic markers to shed light on how these societies change over time. Islands of Order draws on their pioneering fieldwork to show how the science of complexity can be used to better understand unstable dynamics in culture, language, cooperation, and the emergence of hierarchies.Complexity science has opened exciting new vistas in physics and biology, but poses challenges for social scientists. What triggers fundamental, discontinuous social change? And what brings stable patterns—islands of order—into existence? Lansing and Cox begin with an incisive and accessible introduction to models of change, from simple random drift to coupled interactions, phase transitions, co-phylogenies, and adaptive landscapes. Then they take readers on a series of journeys to the islands of the Indo-Pacific to demonstrate how social scientists can harness these powerful tools to discover out-of-equilibrium social dynamics. Lansing and Cox address empirical questions surrounding the colonization of the Pacific, the relationship of language to culture, the emergence and disappearance of male and female hierarchies, and more.Unlocking new possibilities for the social sciences, Islands of Order is accompanied by an interactive companion website that enables readers to explore the models described in the book.

Soil Strength and Slope Stability

Soil Strength and Slope Stability

J. Michael Duncan; Stephen G. Wright; Thomas L. Brandon

John Wiley Sons Inc
2014
sidottu
The definitive guide to the critical issue of slope stability and safety Soil Strength and Slope Stability, Second Edition presents the latest thinking and techniques in the assessment of natural and man-made slopes, and the factors that cause them to survive or crumble. Using clear, concise language and practical examples, the book explains the practical aspects of geotechnical engineering as applied to slopes and embankments. The new second edition includes a thorough discussion on the use of analysis software, providing the background to understand what the software is doing, along with several methods of manual analysis that allow readers to verify software results. The book also includes a new case study about Hurricane Katrina failures at 17th Street and London Avenue Canal, plus additional case studies that frame the principles and techniques described. Slope stability is a critical element of geotechnical engineering, involved in virtually every civil engineering project, especially highway development. Soil Strength and Slope Stability fills the gap in industry literature by providing practical information on the subject without including extraneous theory that may distract from the application. This balanced approach provides clear guidance for professionals in the field, while remaining comprehensive enough for use as a graduate-level text. Topics include: Mechanics of soil and limit equilibrium proceduresAnalyzing slope stability, rapid drawdown, and partial consolidationSafety, reliability, and stability analysesReinforced slopes, stabilization, and repair The book also describes examples and causes of slope failure and stability conditions for analysis, and includes an appendix of slope stability charts. Given how vital slope stability is to public safety, a comprehensive resource for analysis and practical action is a valuable tool. Soil Strength and Slope Stability is the definitive guide to the subject, proving useful both in the classroom and in the field.
