Work and Integrity: The Crisis and Promise of Professionalism in America (JB-Carnegie Foundation for the Adavancement of Teaching)
William M. Sullivan Manufacturer: Jossey-Bass ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0787974587 |
Book Description
Work and Integrity is a timely resource that examines the crisis as well as the promise of professionalism in contemporary society. This vital book argues for the importance of a new civic professionalism that reflects the ideals of democracy and public service in our ever more complex economic environment. A publication of The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, Work and Integrity explores the most current thinking on the various (and often conflicting) ways in which the concept of professional work is understood. Using examples from the United States and Europe, the author describes how the professions evolved from a limited kind of genteel occupation into one of the most widely emulated and sought-after models of work. The book also explores the rise of complex institutions of industrial and postindustrial society, especially the university and the bureaucratic structures of business, government, health care, and education.

Optimal Control Models in Finance: A New Computational Approach (Applied Optimization)
Ping Chen , and Sardar M.N. Islam Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0387235698 |
Book Description
The determination of optimal financing and investment strategies (optimal capital structure or optimal mix of funds, optimal portfolio choice, etc.) for corporations and the economy are important for efficient allocation of resources in the economy. Optimal control methods have useful applications to these areas in finance - some optimization problems in finance include optimal control, involving a dynamic system with switching times in the form of bang-bang control. Optimal control models for corporate finance and the economy are presented in this book and the analytical and computational results of these models are also reported. Such computational approaches to the study of optimal corporate financing are not well known in the existing literature. This book develops a new computational method where switching times are considered as variables in the optimal dynamic financial model represented by a second order differential equation. A new computer program named CSTVA (Computer Program for the Switching Time Variables Algorithm), which can compute bang-bang optimal financial models with switching time, is also developed. Optimal financing implications of the model results in the form of optimal switching times for changes in financing policies and the optimal financial policies are analyzed.

EU Principles on Jurisdiction and Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters
Jannet A. Pontier , and Edwige Burg Manufacturer: Asser Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 9067041734 |
Book Description
The European rules on jurisdiction and recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, laid down in EU Regulation (44/2001), are of great practical importance. Preliminary considerations to the Regulation imply that decisions in which the ECJ has interpreted the Brussels Convention remain relevant for the interpretation of the Regulation. Therefore, to have a thorough understanding of the Regulation, an in-depth knowledge of the EC Court’s case law regarding the Brussels Convention is imperative. It appears that the significance of the Court’s case law lies in both the final outcome of its decisions, and in the principles that it consistently refers to in arriving at these decisions. The authors piece together the system of principles that has become apparent in the Court’s reasoning. An understanding of this system enables lawyers to understand the confines within which the Court’s argumentation is likely to take place in future cases.

Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3540533710 |
Book Description
The six articles in this EMS volume provide an overview of a number of contemporary techniques in the study of the asymptotic behavior of partial differential equations.These techniques include the Maslov canonical operator, semiclassical asymptotics of solutions and eigenfunctions, behavior of solutions near singular points of different kinds, matching of asymptotic expansions close to a boundary layer, and processes in inhomogeneous media. Asymptotic expansions are one of the most important areas in the theory of partial differential equations. Readers should find the wide variety of approaches of interest.
