Recently there has been increased interest in the development of
computer-aided design programs to support the system level designer
of integrated circuits more actively. Such design tools hold the
promise of raising the level of abstraction at which an integrated
circuit is designed, thus releasing the current designers from many
of the details of logic and circuit level design. The promise
further suggests that a whole new group of designers in neighboring
engineering and science disciplines, with far less understanding of
integrated circuit design, will also be able to increase their
productivity and the functionality of the systems they design. This
promise has been made repeatedly as each new higher level of
computer-aided design tool is introduced and has repeatedly fallen
short of fulfillment. This book presents the results of research
aimed at introducing yet higher levels of design tools that will
inch the integrated circuit design community closer to the
fulfillment of that promise. 1. 1. SYNTHESIS OF INTEGRATED CmCUITS
In the integrated circuit (Ie) design process, a behavior that
meets certain specifications is conceived for a system, the
behavior is used to produce a design in terms of a set of
structural logic elements, and these logic elements are mapped onto
physical units. The design process is impacted by a set of
constraints as well as technological information (i. e. the logic
elements and physical units used for the design).
This informative book looks at science learning in a wide range of
contexts. It is divided into three parts. Part one deals with the
arguments put forward for studying science, and includes a
discussion on what science learners need to know about the nature
of science and how decisions about what forms science curricula are
made. Part two includes articles on the processes by which science
is learned and part three deals with inclusivity and diversity in
science learning and what widening participation means for science
education.
This is a companion book to Mediating Science Learning through ICT
also published by RoutledgeFalmer.
Reconsidering Science Learning will be of particular interest to
teachers on masters courses in science education and academics with
an interest in science education.
The world has been witnessing a long unfolding process of
urbanization that not only has altered the structural basis of
society in terms of political economy, but has also symbolically
relegated rural people and life to a secondary or deviant status
through an ideology of urbanormativity. Both structural and
cultural changes rooted in urbanization are connected in complex
ways to spatial arrangements that can be described in terms of
inequality and uneven development. Through a focus on localities,
Studies in Urbanormativity: Rural Community in Urban Society
examines the implications of urbanization and its corresponding
ideology. Urbanormativity justifies rural domination by holding
urban life as the standard against which rural forms are compared
and deemed to be irregular, inferior, or deviant. Urban production,
as conceptualized in this book, is inherently exploitative of rural
resources natural, social, cultural, and symbolic. As this
exploitation advances, a wake of entropic conditions is left behind
in the forms of degraded landscapes, broken social institutions,
and denigrated communities, cultures and identities. Edited by
Gregory M. Fulkerson and Alexander R. Thomas, Studies in
Urbanormativity engages a topic on which scholars have been
surprisingly silent. Designed for advancing theory and practice,
the chapters provide new theoretical tools for understanding the
complex relationship between the urban and rural. While primarily
intended for scholars and practitioners interested in rural life,
rural policy, and community development, the insights of this book
will also be of interest to scholars studying various forms of
cultural and social domination, as well as identity politics.
The backstory of finding Elizabeth Smart and how growing up in the
Mormon culture pushed the author to develop the exact kind of
intuition that was needed to help manage Elizabeth's kidnapping and
rescue while the world watched. Chris Thomas is not yet thirty
years old when he finds himself managing the immense pressure,
eccentric personalities, and extenuating circumstances of an
international story, where one small misstep could adversely impact
the search for a missing teenager and the reputation of her family.
Now, twenty years later, Thomas takes readers behind the scenes,
providing new details, perspectives, and commentary on finding
Elizabeth Smart. In the process of reflecting on Elizabeth's search
and rescue, Thomas discovers how growing up in the culture of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly known as
Mormon) helped push him to develop the exact kind of intuition
needed to manage Elizabeth's kidnapping and rescue, and to do so
while the world watched. Unexpected juxtaposes crucial events from
the Smart case with Thomas's experience growing up in the
Latter-day Saint culture, including coming to understand the secret
of a broken war hero before it was too late.

Every day, workforce talent is becoming harder to gain and easier
to lose. A potentially lethal mix of changing workforce
demographics, reduced workforce engagement and alignment, and the
need for new skills are forcing organizations to look anew at their
recruitment and retention strategies. Crucially, organizations that
neglect to manage and grow their talent are destined to suffer a
dramatic decline in business performance. The Talent Powered
Organization combines a strategic and robust analysis of the
dominant issues with a practical approach to reveal the best ways
for you to recruit, manage, engage and retain people in your
organization. The authors, leading experts on talent management
within global consultancy Accenture, draw on a rich pool of
international research and analysis to reveal key trends affecting
recruitment and retention. Their findings provide you with the
insight you need to ensure your organization doesn't lose out in
the fight to attract and retain the right people. With the help of
the information provided in this book, you will be able to: * Place
talent at the heart of your business strategy * Make leaders and
line managers accountable for engaging employees * Build
organizational capabilities in learning and skills development *
Establish diversity as a key strategic asset for success * Enlist
your entire organization in identifying and nurturing talent
Containing case studies, international research findings, and
practical tools, this book provides you with an objective platform
for reviewing talent in your company. It will empower you to
understand the forces affecting recruitment and retention and
harness them for the long term good of your organization and
customers.
In this sequel to her illuminating bestseller The Hidden Life of Dogs, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas profiles the canines in her own household to show how dogs have comfortably adapted to life with their human owners -- and with each other. A classically trained anthropologist, she answers questions we all have about our pets' behavior. Do dogs have different barks that mean different things? What makes a dog difficult to house-train? Why do certain dogs and cats get along so well? How does Snoopy recognize people he sees only once a year, while Misty barks at strangers she sees every day? The Social Lives of Dogs presents marvelous evidence of the power of the group -- and shows us that those who are fortunate enough to be given the trust of an honorable dog will also have their lives enriched.
