Lack of materials or goods to satisfy customer orders under current
market conditions represents an extremely costly and important
problem facing businesses today. This is a problem that companies
have spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to solve. This
book introduces a new theory, 3C, which will solve these problems.
The authors, experts from Lucent Technologies, discuss in detail
the relationship between the 3Cs - capacity, commonality, and
consumption - and how this relationship can revolutionize your
business. You will learn how to: reduce overhead expense and
improve shipping performance by using the business capacity as the
basis for materials planning; reduce investments in inventory by
using the commonality of components; obtain dramatic improvements
in the lead time of customer orders by using the actual consumption
of materials instead of inaccurate sales forecasts as the basis for
purchasing. The new and exciting techniques based on 3C generate
immediate business benefits, for example: executing the purchasing
function with a new criteria and formulae that can eliminate
material shortages and significantly improve shipping performance,
sales volumes, operating expense and company image. 3C-A Proven
Alternative to MRPII for Optimizing Supply Chain Performance gives
you the knowledge and practical guidelines to better manage
end-to-end Supply Chains and eliminate the expensive and annoying
problem of material shortages that most businesses suffer. Features
In Everyday Conceptions of Emotion, prominent anthropologists,
linguists and psychologists come together for the first time to
discuss how emotions are conceptualised by people of different
cultures and ages, speaking different languages. Anger, fear,
jealousy and emotion itself are concepts that are bound up with the
English language, embedded in a way of thinking, acting and
speaking. At the same time, the metaphors underlying such concepts
are often similar across languages, and children of different
cultures follow common developmental pathways. The book thus
discusses the interplay of social and cultural factors that humans
share in their development of an understanding of the affective
side of their lives. For researchers interested in emotion,
development of concepts and language, cultural and linguistic
influences on psychological processes.
This book presents a fresh approach to cybersecurity issues,
seeking not only to analyze the legal landscape of the European
Union and its Member States, but to do so in an interdisciplinary
manner, involving scholars from diverse backgrounds – ranging
from legal experts to ICT and engineering professionals.
Cybersecurity requirements must be understood in a broader context,
encompassing not just conventional aspects, but also emerging
topics. This can only be achieved through an interdisciplinary
approach. Indeed, cybersecurity should be consistently considered
in relation to cybercrime and/or cyber defense, while examining it
through the lens of specific domains that are intertwined with
various legal fields. Moreover, it is crucial to uphold ethical
standards and safeguard fundamental rights, particularly regarding
personal data protection. By adopting this comprehensive
perspective, the significance of cybersecurity in the exercise of
public authority becomes apparent. It also plays an essential role
in upholding the fundamental values of both individual Member
States and the EU as a whole, such as the rule of law. Moreover, it
fosters trust, transparency, and effectiveness in market relations
and public administration interactions. In turn, the book draws on
the expertise of its authors to provide insights into ICT
components and technologies. Understanding these elements
holistically is essential to viewing every "cyber" phenomenon from
a legal standpoint. In addition to the holistic and
interdisciplinary approach it presents, the book offers a
captivating exploration of cybersecurity and an engaging read for
anyone interested in the field.

This book presents the most relevant articles selected from the
annals of the symposium. In the last few years, Brazilian
Geomorphology has experienced a series of epistemological and
methodological innovations expressed by the incorporation of the
complexity paradigm, by the progressive break with the climate
paradigm, by the emergency role of new theories, and by the
advances in methodological fields favored by the adherence to
geochronological techniques and in function of the increasingly
widespread use of geotechnologies. Furthermore, the
Anthropocene/Technogene emerge claims to be more than only a
temporal cuts, but as conceptions of a science engaged with social
and environmental issues. The National Symposium of Geomorphology,
in the maturity of its 13th edition, constitutes a portrait and an
important sample of Brazilian geomorphological production,
aggregating works carried out in the most diverse types of
landscapes of Brazil. The book provides an overview of the current
scientific production of Brazilian Geomorphology, highlighting the
diversity of landscapes and geoheritage in Brazil, the complexity
of the morphogenetic and morphodynamic processes responsible for
shaping its surface, and the various abundant methodologies used in
geomorphological studies in tropical areas.
This reference work provides broad and up-to-date coverage of the major perspectives--ethological, neurobehavioral, developmental, dynamic systems, and componential--on facial expression. The text reviews Darwin's legacy in the context of Izard and Tomkins' new theories as well as Fridlund's recently proposed Behavioural Ecology theory. Other contributions explore continuing controversies on universality and innateness, and update the research guidelines of Ekman, Friesen and Ellsworth. This book anticipates emerging research questions, such as the role of culture in children's understanding of faces, the precise ways faces depend on the immediate context, and the ecology of facial expression. The Psychology of Facial Expression is aimed at students, researchers, and educators in psychology, anthropology, and sociology who are interested in the emotive and communicative uses of facial expression.
Stylish Spanish horror about a maniac 'purifying' the unworthy in a
dimly-lit former brothel. Antonio Frau has just served 25 years in
prison for killing his girlfriend in the heat of a dispute and, as
it quickly becomes plain, he's a rather poor advert for
rehabilitation. While inside, Antonio has inherited The Pension
Paraiso - a decrepit brothel - from a dead relative which he puts
to good use as his own comfortable domicile - even buying a new
freezer. On an Internet dating service, he meets and marries a
lovely woman and is soon living the straight life, renovating the
bordello to its former muted glory. However, the formerly felonious
hotelier, it appears, is also running a little sideline in
redemption in room H6.. Pretty soon the neighbourhood is a rather
uncomfortable place for the pimps, racketeers and doxies that walk
its streets.
The present work, which is carried out in one of the school
districts in the state of Illinois, focuses on the social impact of
the ACCESS for ELLs, one of the tests that is currently being used
in twenty-three states to measure and report ELLs' language
proficiency, and the use that is made of the scores by different
people: state legislators, district administrators, school
principals, and teachers. Results obtained in a teacher survey and
in several interviews with stakeholders at various levels reveal
that, although on a smaller scale compared to other state tests,
the way in which the ACCESS scores are being used can have a strong
impact on the education of ELLs. Not only student placement
decisions are based on these results, but also programmatic and
economic determinations are made, with the aim of meeting the
objectives and avoiding schools being sanctioned by the State and
Federal US Governments.

The importance of facial expressions has led to a steadily growing
body of empirical findings and theoretical analyses. Every decade
has seen work that extends or challenges previous thinking on
facial expression. The Science of Facial Expression provides an
updated review of the current psychology of facial expression .
This book summarizes current conclusions and conceptual frameworks
from leading figures who have shaped the field in their various
subfields, and will therefore be of interest to practitioners,
students, and researchers of emotion in cognitive psychology,
neuroscience, biology, anthropology, linguistics, affective
computing, and homeland security. Organized in eleven thematic
sections, The Science of Facial Expression offers a broad
perspective of the "geography" of the science of facial expression.
It reviews the scientific history of emotion perception and the
evolutionary origins and functions of facial expression. It
includes an updated compilation on the great debate around Basic
Emotion Theory versus Behavioral Ecology and Psychological
constructionism. The developmental psychology and social psychology
of facial expressions is explored in the role of facial expressions
in child development, social interactions, and culture. The book
also covers appraisal theory, concepts, neural and behavioral
processes, and lesser-known facial behaviors such as yawing, vocal
crying, and vomiting. In addition, the book reflects that research
on the "expression of emotion" is moving towards a significance of
context in the production and interpretation of facial expression
The authors expose various fundamental questions and controversies
yet to be resolved, but in doing so, open many sources of
inspiration to pursue in the scientific study of facial expression.
