Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS (Real World)

Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS (Real World)
By Bruce Fraser

* Publisher: Peachpit Press
* Number Of Pages: 256
* Publication Date: 2004-07-18
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 032127878X
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780321278784
* Binding: Paperback

Product Description:

Call it a control thing, but until recently–or, more specifically, until the availability of digital raw camera formats–you simply weren’t ready to make the move to digital photography. Raw formats, however, changed all of that by allowing you to retrieve images before any in-camera processing has been performed. Photoshop’s Adobe Camera Raw plug-in makes that process even easier by providing a standardized way of accessing and working with these uncompressed digital negatives in your favorite image-manipulation software. In the first volume devoted exclusively to the topic, best-selling author Bruce Fraser shows you how to take advantage of Adobe Camera Raw to set white balance, optimize contrast and saturation, handle noise, correct tint, and recover lost detail in images before converting them to another format. After learning about the raw formats themselves, you’ll discover hands-on techniques for exposing and shooting for digital raw, using the File Browser to preview images and automate tasks, and building a workflow around the digital raw process.

Making IT Count: Strategy, Delivery, Infrastructure (Computer Weekly Professional)

Making IT Count: Strategy, Delivery, Infrastructure (Computer Weekly Professional)
By Nancy Olson, Leslie Willcocks, Peter Petherbridge

* Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann
* Number Of Pages: 288
* Publication Date: 2002-05-01
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 075064821X
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780750648219
* Binding: Paperback

Product Description:

‘Making IT Count: from strategy to implementation’ focuses on the practical elements of delivering Information Technology strategy. Studies regularly show that over half of Information Technology strategies are never implemented, or are unsuccessful in delivering the desired results, and that a significant percentage of strategies implemented were never in the original plans. The linkage between strategy development and delivery needs a very clear focus; this is the key topic that the authors address.

The book highlights eight major fallacies in managing IT, and eighteen better practices. It then details how to draw up strategy, instigate navigation techniques and make sourcing decisions. Change and delivery are a major focus, as is infrastructure development. Caselets and full length case studies of organizations such as General Electric, Siemens, Colonial Mutual, Charles Schwab, Macquarie Bank, ICI, United Airlines, Norwich Union, Walgreens and Dell and have been included to show how strategies have been successfully implemented and managed.

Shows practitioners how to actually carry out, develop and implement an Information Technology strategy
Contains “caselets” and full case studies of recent successful implementations of Information Technology strategies by organizationsAuthors combine a wealth of experience and expertise to provide practical guidance to professionals

Data Mining in Finance: Advances in Relational and Hybrid Methods (The International Series in Engineering and Computer Science)

Data Mining in Finance: Advances in Relational and Hybrid Methods (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science)
By Boris Kovalerchuk, Evgenii Vityaev

* Publisher: Springer
* Number Of Pages: 328
* Publication Date: 2000-03-01
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0792378040
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780792378044
* Binding: Hardcover

Product Description:

Data Mining in Finance presents a comprehensive overview of major algorithmic approaches to predictive data mining, including statistical, neural networks, ruled-based, decision-tree, and fuzzy-logic methods, and then examines the suitability of these approaches to financial data mining. The book focuses specifically on relational data mining (RDM), which is a learning method able to learn more expressive rules than other symbolic approaches. RDM is thus better suited for financial mining, because it is able to make greater use of underlying domain knowledge. Relational data mining also has a better ability to explain the discovered rules - an ability critical for avoiding spurious patterns which inevitably arise when the number of variables examined is very large. The earlier algorithms for relational data mining, also known as inductive logic programming (ILP), suffer from a relative computational inefficiency and have rather limited tools for processing numerical data.
Data Mining in Finance introduces a new approach, combining relational data mining with the analysis of statistical significance of discovered rules. This reduces the search space and speeds up the algorithms. The book also presents interactive and fuzzy-logic tools for `mining’ the knowledge from the experts, further reducing the search space.
Data Mining in Finance contains a number of practical examples of forecasting S&P 500, exchange rates, stock directions, and rating stocks for portfolio, allowing interested readers to start building their own models. This book is an excellent reference for researchers and professionals in the fields of artificial intelligence, machine learning, data mining, knowledge discovery, and applied mathematics.

Neuroepidemiology is the epidemiologic study of neurological conditions. This fine text provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of research methods for conducting epidemiologic and clinical research on these conditions. It is aimed at neurologists, epidemiologists and public health professionals, as well as students of these disciplines. The book has three parts, each emphasizing the unique aspects of studying neurologic disorders. The first focuses on classic principles of epidemiologic and clinical research, including study design, sources of study bias, and methods for assessing the role of environmental and genetic factors in neurologic disorders. The second part covers each of the major neurologic disorders, with an emphasis of the methodologic aspects of studying these disorders and discussion of future research directions. The third part is devoted to clinical and translational research methods, including the design and conduct of clinical trials and prognostic studies, as well as the principles of health services research and evidence-based medicine. This textbook will give neurologists, epidemiologists, and their students the foundation for conducting rigorous epidemiologic and clinical research on neurologic disorders. Review: Excellent book - readable & comprehensive! Having read other similar texts, I believe that this is the best book available on the topic of neuroepidemiology. This is the only book that gives a broad coverage of the study design and research principles for conducting clinical and epidemiologic research on neurological disorders. Research topics related to all of the major neurological disorders are addressed. I particularly liked the extensive use of real-life examples to illustrate important points. The section on clinical epidemiology - clinical trials, prognostic studies and evidence-based neurology - is superb. Last but not least - this is the least expensive book on neuroepidemiology and far better than the others. Can't say enough good things!

Do places make a difference to people's health and well-being? The authors of this groundbreaking textbook demonstrate convincingly how the physical and social characteristics of a neighborhood can shape the health of its residents. Drawing on the expertise of a renowned cast of researchers, this book presents a state-of-the art account of the theories, methods, and empirical evidence linking neighborhood conditions to population health. Represented in the volume are contributions from the world's leading investigators in the field, including social epidemiologists, demographers, medical geographers, sociologists, and medical practitioners. This comprehensive textbook lays out for the first time the methodological approaches to conducting neighborhood research, including multi-level and contextual analysis, geocoding and the use of small area-based measures of deprivation, as well as the evolving science of ""ecometrics."" Substantive chapters present the case for the relevance of neighborhood effects on health outcomes throughout the life cycle, from infant mortality and low birthweight, to childhood asthma, adult infectious diseases, and disability in old age. The approaches covered in the book range from testing the linkages between community-level variables, such as social capital and residential segregation, and population health to designing and implementing community interventions and policies to improve the health of the public. The book is a timely companion volume to Social Epidemiology (Oxford University Press, 2000), edited by the same authors, and an indispensable manual on neighborhood research for students, researchers, and practitioners.

Peter G. Schmidt - Color and Money: How Rich White Kids Are Winning the War over College Affirmative Action

How Rich White Kids Are Winning the War over College Affirmative Action
Palgrave Macmillan | 2007 | ISBN: 1403976015 | Pages: 272 | PDF | 5.46 MB
What is the real story behind the fight over affirmative action at colleges? Veteran journalist Peter Schmidt exposes truths that will outrage readers and forever transform the debate. He reveals how:

* colleges use affirmative action to mask how much they cater to the country club crowd and to solicit support from the big corporations they steer minority students toward;

* conservatives have used opposition to affirmative action to advance a broader agenda that includes gutting government programs that help level the playing field;

* selective colleges reward families for shielding their children from contact with other races and classes and help perpetuate societal discrimination by favoring applicants from expensive private schools or public schools in exclusive communities;

* racial tensions like those witnessed at Duke University, the University of Michigan, and scores of other campuses in recent decades are a direct result of college admissions policies;

* affirmative-action preferences for women and minorities may have survived recent court challenges, but in much of the nation they are unlikely to survive the forces of democracy; and

* regardless of what happens with affirmative action, African Americans are going to be denied equal access to colleges for many decades to come unless American society undergoes revolutionary change.

This is a startling, brave, and thoroughly researched book that will ignite a national debate on class and education for years to come.

Barrie Gunter - News and the Net


Barrie Gunter - News and the Net
Lawrence Erlbaum | 2003 | ISBN: 0805844996 | Pages: 272 | PDF | 5.66 MB
News and the Net examines the growth of news provision on the Internet and its implications for news presentation, journalism practice, news consumers, and the business of running news organizations. Much of the focus is placed on the migration of newspapers onto the Internet, but references are also made to the establishment of news Web sites by other news organizations, including broadcasters and news agencies.

The book examines the growth of online technology as a source of information and entertainment for media consumers. It considers how this development can be framed within models of communication and comments, on the apparent shortage of new models to explain the use, role, effectiveness, and impact of online communications. In addition, this volume looks at the early history of electronic news delivery, involving technologies that predate the Internet.

ISBN / ASIN: 0805897399
EAN: 9780805897395

Manufacturer: TF-LEA

Average Rating: 5 The articles in this special issue seek to re-examine the relationship between creativity and the schizophrenia spectrum of disorders in the wake of recent research and theorizing. They revisit both empirical and conceptual findings and issues regarding connections between the schizophrenia spectrum of disorders: schizotypy, psychotic-like traits, and creativity.
Review:
Fascinating Read Having been diagnosed with Schizophrenia at a very
young age and after a few years recently experiencing
a very good recovery I found this book to be
insightful and inspiring. The book has a series of
articles from prominent researchers on Schizophrenia
and creativity. Some interesting observations were
made such as James Ogilvie's comparison of the
Schizophrenic's experience to that of a philosopher
in that both are preoccupied with foundational questions
including creativity. I also found Louis Sass's
article and critique of Kay Redfield Jamison's book
"Touched with Fire" to be very interesting in pointing
out areas where she may have overlooked potential for
more schizophrenia spectrum styles of creativity.
Particularly he considers more modernist and
revolutionary styles of creativity that Schizophrenia
spectrum individuals might have stronger affinities
with as opposed to Bipolar spectrum individuals.
All in all a great book and it helped me understand my
experience of being a 'mad creator' better and gives hope
in efforts of recovery, especially since I am a very
young man and a music technology major. Highly reccomended for
Schizophrenia spectrum individuals, loved ones, and
just about anyone else who is interested in the
fascinating relation between creativity and m

adness.

Reinventing the Retirement Paradigm

Reinventing the Retirement Paradigm
Publisher: Oxford University Press | ISBN: 0199284601 | edition 2005 | PDF | 312 pages | 8,31 mb
This book explores how rising pension and healthcare costs along with workforce aging are affecting pension and retirement planning around the world. Many middle-aged workers now realize that they will have to work longer than intended as they begin to recognize that their retirement resources will be inadequate to finance retirement consumption. Volatile capital markets, rising medical-care costs and low saving rates make retirement behavior and policy a moving target.
