Balanced, practical risk management for post financial crisis
institutions Fundamentals of Risk Management fills a critical gap
left by existing risk management texts. Instead of focusing only on
quantitative risk analysis or only on institutional risk
management, this book takes a comprehensive approach. The disasters
of the recent financial crisis taught us that managing risk is both
an art and a science, and it is critical for practitioners to
understand how individual risks are integrated at the enterprise
level. This book is the only resource of its kind to introduce all
of the key risk management concepts in a cohesive case study
spanning each chapter. A hypothetical bank drawn from elements of
several real world institutions serves as a backdrop for topics
from credit risk and operational risk to understanding big-picture
risk exposure. You will be able to see exactly how each rigorous
concept is applied in actual risk management contexts. Fundamentals
of Risk Management includes: * Supplemental Excel-based Visual
Basic (VBA) modules, so you can interact directly with risk models
* Clear explanations of the importance of risk management in
preventing financial disasters * Real world examples and lessons
learned from past crises * Risk policies, infrastructure, and
activities that balance limited quantitative models This book
provides the element of hands-on application necessary to put
enterprise risk management into effective practice. The very best
risk managers rely on a balanced approach that leverages every
aspect of financial operations for an integrative risk management
strategy. With Fundamentals of Risk Management, you can identify
and control risk at an expert level.
Over the past two decades, the rapid development of nanochemistry
and nanotechnology has allowed the synthesis of various materials
and oxides in the form of nanopowders making it possible to produce
new energetic compositions and nanomaterials. This book has a
bottom-up structure, from nanomaterials synthesis to the
application fields. Starting from aluminum nanoparticles synthesis
for fuel application, it proposes a detailed state-of-the art of
the different methods of preparation of aluminum-based reactive
nanomaterials. It describes the techniques developed for their
characterization and, when available, a description of the
fundamental mechanisms responsible for their ignition and
combustion. This book also presents the possibilities and
limitations of different energetic nanomaterials and related
structures as well as the analysis of their chemical and thermal
properties. The whole is rounded off with a look at the
performances of reactive materials in terms of heat of reaction and
reactivity mainly characterized as the self-sustained combustion
velocity. The book ends up with a description of current reactive
nanomaterials applications underlying the promising integration of
aluminum-based reactive nanomaterial into micro electromechanical
systems.
Will Cuba be free, or will it become part of the United States? As
the election draws near, Cuba becomes a powder keg. The exactions
of El Santero continue, terrifying the liberators-turned-occupiers
and enflaming the spirit of the freedom-starved Cubans. In
response, American authorities don't hesitate to use extreme
violence to ensure that their candidate will win and become not the
president of the Republic of Cuba, but the first governor of the
46th state. For the SPOOKS, torn between duty and convictions, the
danger is real, and choices will have to be made...
This document provides the guidelines by which the TOPEX Radar
Altimeter hardware development effort for the TOPEX flight project
shall be implemented and conducted. The conduct of this activity
shall take maximum advantage of the efforts expended during the
TOPEX Radar Altimeter Advanced Technology Model development program
and other related Radar Altimeter development efforts. This
document complies with the TOPEX Project Office document 633-420
(D-2218), entitled, "TOPEX Project Requirements and Constraints for
the NASA Radar Altimeter" dated December 1987.
