Analytics for Managers - With Excel (Hardcover, New): Peter C. Bell, Gregory S. Zaric Analytics for Managers - With Excel (Hardcover, New)
Peter C. Bell, Gregory S. Zaric
R5,505 Discovery Miles 55 050 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Analytics is one of a number of terms which are used to describe a data-driven more scientific approach to management. Ability in analytics is an essential management skill: knowledge of data and analytics helps the manager to analyze decision situations, prevent problem situations from arising, identify new opportunities, and often enables many millions of dollars to be added to the bottom line for the organization. The objective of this book is to introduce analytics from the perspective of the general manager of a corporation. Rather than examine the details or attempt an encyclopaedic review of the field, this text emphasizes the strategic role that analytics is playing in globally competitive corporations today. The chapters of this book are organized in two main parts. The first part introduces a problem area and presents some basic analytical concepts that have been successfully used to address the problem area. The objective of this material is to provide the student, the manager of the future, with a general understanding of the tools and techniques used by the analyst.

Whatever your field, if you work with large quantities of information, this book is essential reading--an authoritative theoretical resource and a practical guide to meeting the toughest storage and access challenges. It covers the latest developments in compression and indexing and their application on the Web and in digital libraries.

* Up-to-date coverage of new text compression algorithms such as block sorting, approximate arithmetic coding, and fat Huffman coding
* New sections on content-based index compression and distributed querying, with 2 new data structures for fast indexing
* New coverage of image coding, including descriptions of de facto standards in use on the Web (GIF and PNG), information on CALIC, the new proposed JPEG Lossless standard, and JBIG2
* New information on the Internet and WWW, digital libraries, web search engines, and agent-based retrieval

Masters of esoteric knowledge and miraculous practices, the lineage of the Karmapas descends from the great Indian tantric master Tilopa through a chain that includes Naropa, Marpa, and Milarepa. The Karmapas are distinguished by their black crowns, said to have been woven by dakinis and symbolizing the activity of the buddhas. In their recounting of the histories of the seventeen Karmapas, the authors reveal the universal and marvelous concealed in the everyday world. Their lively account, peppered with anecdotes, is the most comprehensive in the West on this subject, with information from Tibetan, Chinese, Mongolian, French, and English sources.

Salmonella - A Practical Approach to the Organism and its Control in Foods (Paperback): C. Bell Salmonella - A Practical Approach to the Organism and its Control in Foods (Paperback)
C. Bell
R3,433 Discovery Miles 34 330 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Human illness attributed to foodborne pathogenic microorganisms has been prominent in the mass media in recent years. The Practical Food Microbiology Series has been devised to give practical and accurate information about specific organisms of concern to public health. The information is designed for use by those in the food industry working in manufacturing, retailing and quality assurance, those in associated professional sectors e.g. public health, and students in each of these areas.

The series is unique in its practical approach as it draws on real life situations to highlight practical means for controlling the organism in foods.

Salmonella species are arguably the most commonly reported food associated human pathogens in the developed world. They are zoonotic agents and many different animal reservoirs are known. They can be found widely in the environment and may also establish in food processing environments. Over 2000 serotypes of Salmonella have been identified to-date, some of which cause very serious illness in humans particularly in vulnerable populations such as the elderly. Although rare, illness may result in fatality or long term debility and sequelae. Salmonella spp. are so widespread in raw foods and food source environments that the food industry has to maintain constant vigilance regarding contamination in raw materials, effectiveness of food processing systems and control of finished product characteristics for assuring food safety with respect to this important pathogen.

This book details the causes of selected outbreaks and assesses the lessons that can be learnt from them. It examines the characteristics of Salmonella spp. and identifies factors that make foods susceptible to contamination and growth of these organisms. Specific product sectors are used to indicate practical measures that can be applied to control Salmonella spp. in foods and minimise their potential to cause harm to the consumer. It also provides guidance in selecting effective sampling plans and test methods to monitor and detect the organism and offers pragmatic advice on action to be taken when the organism is detected during monitoring programmes.

Andrea Johnson Ma, Denalee C. Bell
R775 Discovery Miles 7 750 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Learn to Feel Better by Eating Better. The Diverticuliculitis Diet Cookbook will teach you how to prevent diverticulitis flareups from occurring. The book includes a 30 day meal plan and more than 110 easy to make, delicious recipes designed to heal your body. I would like to share with you my experience with Diverticular disease. Several years ago, my mother was diagnosed with Diverticulitis. We had never heard of this medical condition before, and at that time there was very little information about it. When we asked the doctor how to prevent a Diverticulitis attack from occurring again, his advice was don't eat nuts and seeds! Over the next few years, she followed her general practitioner's well-meaning advice, but still suffered several Diverticulitis attacks and had no relief from the pain. Sick and tired of the pain and being afraid of her next attack, both of us embarked on a journey to take her health into our own hands. Working with the esteemed Andrea Johnson, a well-known, registered clinical dietician and researcher, we developed a cookbook and meal plan that actually worked! The recipes were compiled based on their health value, high fiber content and because they taste really good. We wouldn't have been able to get my picky-eater mom to eat our recipes if they weren't absolutely yummy!! Not only that, they are easy to make. You don't have to be a master chef or have loads of time to prepare these meals.
