This book focuses upon the problems and solutions encountered by
two primary sets of people involved in the transfer of technical
knowledge: foreign consultants and host country counterparts. It
presents an approach to many of the cross-cultural theories common
to the transfer of knowledge. .
Even though concern about and interest in technology transfer have
existed since the 1950s, it has become of increasing importance to
lesser-developed and developing countries since the 1970s. The
transfer of technology in general, and in particular the transfer
of technical knowledge, lies at the heart of the North-South
debate. There is an abundance of literature on technology transfer
in almost every field of interest--policy, practice, applied case
studies, and general recommendations--but little, if any, of the
information is integrated. It remains widely distributed throughout
the fields of economics, business, rural sociology, and
anthropology. The same may be said for various studies of
consultants as change agents. On the other hand, studies of
counterparts--host country professionals--have been almost entirely
neglected, with the exception of their implied roles as innovators
or acceptors. There have been few attempts to tie practice to
theory, theory to research, or research to practice. This volume
attempts to provide the link between theory, research, and
practice. Based upon research conducted at two large-scale water
resource development projects in Indonesia, it focuses upon the
problems and solutions encountered by two primary sets of people
involved in the transfer of technical knowledge--foreign
consultants and host country counterparts. Dr. Scott-Stevens
presents a unified and applied approach to many of the
cross-cultural theories, issues, and problems common to the
transfer of technical knowledge across cultures.
Database Semantics: Semantic Issues in Multimedia Systems reflects
the state of the art of emerging research on the meaning of
multimedia information, as presented during IFIP's Eighth Data
Semantics Working Conference (DS-8), organized by its Working Group
2.6 on Databases, and held at Rotorua, New Zealand, in January
1999. DS-8 was planned as an active forum for researchers and
practitioners focusing on those issues that involve the semantics
of the information represented, stored, and manipulated by
multimedia systems. Depending on the topic and state of research,
issues may be covered either deeply theoretically or quite
practically, or even both. These proceedings contain twenty-one
papers carefully selected by an International Programme Committee
and organized in six thematic areas: * Video Data Modelling and
Use; * Image Databases; * Applications of Multimedia Systems; *
Multimedia Modeling in General; * Multimedia Information Retrieval;
* Semantics and Metadata.For almost every area, important topics
and issues include: * data modeling and query languages for media
such as audio, video, and images; * methodological aspects of
multimedia database design; * intelligent multimedia information
retrieval; * knowledge discovery and data mining in multimedia
information; * multimedia user interfaces. Three visionary keynote
addresses, by famous experts Ramesh Jain, Hermann Maurer and Masao
Sakauchi, set the stage for discussion and future directions for
the field. The collection of papers that resulted now offers a
glimpse of the excitement and enthusiasm from DS-8. Database
Semantics: Semantic Issues in Multimedia Systems is suitable as a
secondary text for a graduate-level course on database systems,
multimedia systems, or information retrieval systems and as a
reference for practitioners and researchers in industry.
In the past five years, the field of electrostatic discharge (ESD)
control has under gone some notable changes. Industry standards
have multiplied, though not all of these, in our view, are
realistic and meaningful. Increasing importance has been ascribed
to the Charged Device Model (CDM) versus the Human Body Model (HBM)
as a cause of device damage and, presumably, premature (latent)
failure. Packaging materials have significantly evolved. Air
ionization techniques have improved, and usage has grown. Finally,
and importantly, the government has ceased imposing MIL-STD-1686 on
all new contracts, leaving companies on their own to formulate an
ESD-control policy and write implementing documents. All these
changes are dealt with in five new chapters and ten new reprinted
papers added to this revised edition of ESD from A to Z. Also, the
original chapters have been augmented with new material such as
more troubleshooting examples in Chapter 8 and a 20-question
multiple-choice test for certifying operators in Chapter 9. More
than ever, the book seeks to provide advice, guidance, and
practical ex amples, not just a jumble of facts and
generalizations. For instance, the added tailored versions of the
model specifications for ESD-safe handling and packaging are
actually in use at medium-sized corporations and could serve as
patterns for many readers.

Sgt. Oakwood, Mrs. Oakwood, Mandy, and Eric are a family in the
Marine Corps. It is a very special day when the children learn that
they will soon move to North Carolina. Join Mandy and Eric as they
find out what Camp Lejeune, North Carolina is all about This book
was designed to help children of military families become excited
about moving to new places. Parents, teachers, counselors, and
others can use it as a tool to help children visualize exactly
where they are going, thereby relieving some of the anxiety
associated with relocation. Children already living on or near Camp
Lejeune will find this book exciting as they read about places they
have been and discover new destinations to explore.
This report presents the methodology and results of the independent
evaluation of a prototype integrated crash warning system for light
vehicles as part of the Integrated Vehicle-Based Safety Systems
initiative of the United States Department of Transportation's
Intelligent Transportation System program. The system integrates
rear-end crash, curve-speed warning, lane change crash, and lane
departure warning functions. The goals of the independent
evaluation are to assess the safety impact, gauge driver
acceptance, and characterize the capability of the integrated
safety system. The evaluation is based on naturalistic driving data
collected from a field operational test using 108 subjects who
drove 16 passenger vehicles equipped with a prototype integrated
safety system and a data acquisition system. The test subjects
accumulated over 213,000 miles during a 12-month period throughout
parts of southeast Michigan. For each driver, the test period was
divided into a 12 day baseline condition with the system disabled
and a 28 day treatment condition with the system enabled to compare
the effect of the system on driving performance. The results of the
analysis suggest that driving with the integrated safety system
improves driver behavior and increases driver safety, that drivers
feel that the system provides a safety benefit, and that the system
alerts had a high degree of accuracy. This report delineates the
methodology of the different analyses and discusses their results.
This book gives you an inside look at the Criminal Justice system
from a police officer who has worked on the other side. The
material is presented in easy to understand language and with real
world examples that provide you the tools you need to be successful
in your legal defense. From your constitutional protections, law
enforcement procedures, and general courtroom processes, you get an
intimate look at how the system works, allowing you to not only
understand it, but to defend yourself legally.
In this book, the author describes the details that go into the
making of a DUI case, including Field Sobriety tests, Horizontal
Gaze Nystagmus, and the breathalyzer. Using real world examples and
easy to understand language, the author helps you to develop
strategies to fight a DUI conviction. This is a must read for
anyone seeking to learn to defend themselves from a DUI charge or
those just looking to have a better understanding of the law.
A former police officer takes you through a step by step
explanation of how the most commonly used Police Radar devices
operate and explains the most prevalent flaws in their use. In
addition, he discusses the training requiremments for radar
operators, factors that influence their ability to identify
speeders, and other issues that can be used as a defense strategy
in court. The author gives very easy to follow examples of
questions that can be asked during a trial as well as general
strategies that can lead to a more successful outcome to an
encounter with law enforcement both before and after the actual
traffic stop. The reader is given an inside look at what police
officers know and the public does not. He demystifies the
enforcement of speeding violations and illustrates the ease at
which a case can be won with just a little bit of knowledge and the
right questions.
Five hundred years before Columbus, the American Southwest was the
homeland of the Anasazi civilization. Chaco Canyon was its heart.
The reasons for the Anasazi's disappearance have long been a
mystery. As told by the Rain Woman Bent Sparrow, the beginning of
the end starts the day Panpele, flute player and wizard, arrives in
the Canyon. Panpele rekindles his feud with his life-long enemy,
Olin the Sun Watcher, Bent Sparrow's uncle. Using Bent Sparrow as
his tool of revenge, Panpele casts illusions of love and honor that
ultimately result in the collapse of an entire way of life.
