The Practical Library Trainer

The Practical Library Trainer

Develop a library staff training program that really works!To stay on top of the lightning-fast changes in the library field and provide your patrons with the best service possible you need to establish and sustain an effective program for training your staff. The Practical Library Trainer examines the concept of the library as a learning place for patrons and staff offering a comprehensive view of training from an administrator’s perspective. Bruce E. Massis author of The Practical Library Manager (Haworth) addresses the essential issues of how to develop a strong program of continuous instruction including customer service reporting recruitment and retention of staff. The book focuses on the integration of staff training as a blended activity instead of an intervention quelling the notion of training as an “add-on” to existing staff duties. The current information-rich environment provides your patrons with an abundance of resources to choose from for their research needs. But they can’t do it alone-they need direction from a knowledgeable librarian who can recognize the pedigree currency and validity of licensed resources particularly those available through electronic means. The Practical Library Trainer uses the goal of long-range customer service as a starting point emphasizing the return on investment possibilities from blended training methods as a key to meeting your patrons’ high expectations of service. The book also provides examples from outside the library community to demonstrate the importance of training on a non-library setting and looks at future training issues.The Practical Library Trainer examines: types of staff training (formal informal employer-provided qualifying skill improvement) strategies for recruiting and retaining a staff blended learning e-training in-house training how to use professional conferences as continuing education opportunities how to evaluate your training program a sample of an “anywhere anytime” education and training program and much more! The Practical Library Trainer is an important resource for making sure your patrons get the most from your library—and your staff.

The Changing World of the Trainer

The Changing World of the Trainer

The �Changing World of the Trainer� considers how the human resource development professional should undertake his or her role in today�s organization. It offers a new framework which reflects the business reality of the modern world. This practical work proceeds through a series of tools checklists questionnaires and instruments and presents an extensive series of illustrative case studies drawn from organizations throughout the world.The book argues that the problems that trainers face are fundamentally the same. Their objective is to put a process in place to ensure that employees are able to acquire the knowledge and skill required by the organization. The acquisition of individual and collective knowledge and skills is not the primary purpose of the organization � skills are a means to the end of profitability and service delivery. Hence training is a derived or secondary activity. In the world economy a global model of human resource development is emerging. In one form or another organizations are seeking to develop what are known as high performance working practices. What the customer requires drives business processes: staff must be recruited retained and motivated. Effective learning training and development is now essential.This does not mean the end of the traditional off-the-job training course. There are many occasions and these are illustrated within the book when a training course delivered by a subject-matter expert is an effective way of promoting the organization�s objectives through individual learning. However it is increasingly evident that the range of interventions undertaken by the trainer extends far beyond the design and delivery of the training course. There has been a huge increase in coaching and in ways of promoting group learning. Action learning is undergoing a resurgence. Generally there has been a growth of non-directive forms of intervention; a shift in emphasis fro

Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Over the past two decades type 2 diabetes has emerged as a leading threat to global health and the considerable overlap in obesity and diabetes trends are likely no coincidence. While the underpinnings for both etiologies are linked to lifestyles particularly dietary and physical activity patterns determining optimal approaches for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes using dietary composition remains a challenge. Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes: Etiology and Prevention rigorously examines various perspectives on diet and type 2 diabetes. The book presents a comprehensive description and evaluation of the central research to date primarily in humans on the macronutrients and their subclasses micronutrients foods beverages and overall dietary patterns with respect to the risk of type 2 diabetes. It addresses the mediating/mechanistic role of obesity and body composition throughout the text where appropriate. The chapter authors all leading researchers in the field discuss fundamental nutritional principles applied to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes as well as applied behavioral studies on nutrition and diabetes for each subject area. The depth and breadth of this book includes aspects of the food synergy model for understanding the complicated pathways between nutrition dietary habits and risk for type 2 diabetes. It also examines the effects of artificially sweetened beverages and coffee. This reference provides a review of the science on the potential impact of many components of dietary behavior and nutritional properties on etiology and risk for this disease knowledge that is essential for formulating informed approaches to public health progress in this area. | Nutrition and Type 2 Diabetes Etiology and Prevention

Large Type EditionLarge Type Edition

Examination of the work of scientific icons-Newton Descartes and others-reveals the metaphors and analogies that directed their research and explain their discoveries. Today scientists tend to balk at the idea of their writing as rhetorical much less metaphorical. How did this schism over metaphor occur in the scientific community? To establish that scientists should use metaphors to explain science to the public and need to be conscious of how metaphor can be useful to their research this book examines the controversy over cloning and the lack of a metaphor to explain it to a public fearful of science's power.The disjunction between metaphor and science is traced to the dispensation of the Solar System Analogy in favor of a mathematical model. Arguing that mathematics is metaphorical the author supports the idea of all language as metaphorical-unlike many rhetoricians and philosophers of science who have proclaimed all language as metaphorical but have allowed a distinction between a metaphorical use of language and a literal use.For technical communication pedagogy the implications of this study suggest foregrounding metaphor in textbooks and in the classroom. Though many technical communication textbooks recommend metaphor as a rhetorical strategy some advise avoiding it and those that recommend it usually do so in a paragraph or two with little direction for students on how to recognize metaphors or to how use them. This book provides the impetus for a change in the pedagogical approach to metaphor as a rhetorical tool with epistemological significance.

Mean-Field-Type Games for Engineers

Mean-Field-Type Games for Engineers

The contents of this book comprise an appropriate background to start working and doing research on mean-field-type control and game theory. To make the exposition and explanation even easier we first study the deterministic optimal control and differential linear-quadratic games. Then we progressively add complexity step-by-step and little-by-little to the problem settings until we finally study and analyze mean-field-type control and game problems incorporating several stochastic processes e. g. Brownian motions Poisson jumps and random coefficients. We go beyond the Nash equilibrium which provides a solution for non- cooperative games by analyzing other game-theoretical concepts such as the Berge Stackelberg adversarial/robust and co-opetitive equilibria. For the mean-field-type game analysis we provide several numerical examples using a Matlab-based user-friendly toolbox that is available for the free use to the readers of this book. We present several engineering applications in both continuous and discrete time. Among these applications we find the following: water distribution systems micro-grid energy storage stirred tank reactor mechanism design for evolutionary dynamics multi-level building evacuation problem and the COVID-19 propagation control. With such a demand from engineering audiences this book is very timely and provides a thorough study of mean-field-type game theory. The strenuous protagonist of this book is to bridge between the theoretical findings and engineering solutions. The book introduces the basics first and then mathematical frameworks are elaborately explained. The engineering application examples are shown in detail and the popular learning approaches are also investigated. Those advantageous characteristics will make this book a comprehensive handbook of many engineering fields for many years and I will buy one when it gets published.

Type-B Cytochromes: Sensors and Switches

Type-B Cytochromes: Sensors and Switches

This book describes cellular level sensors that act as switches turning on gene expression and other metabolic processes necessary for cell survival and differentiation. These responses can also initiate programmed cell death or activate latent human immunodeficiency virus or animal leukemia viruses. These redox sensors are nonspecific in sensitivity but specific in response. Unlike ligand/antiligand-type specific sensors they respond to ionizing and ultraviolet radiations pH gradients heat light electric and magnetic fields redox chemicals mechanical stress and other nonspecific stressors. The sensors are type-b cytochromes including NADPH oxidases NO synthases and nitrogen oxide reductases. The intense radiation of early pre-biotic earth may have been the evolutionary driving force for the development of their common ancestor.

Psychoanalysis Violence and Rage-Type MurderMurdering Minds

Psychoanalysis Violence and Rage-Type MurderMurdering Minds

What turns an apparently 'normal' individual into a killer?Many people who commit "rage type" murders have no history of violence. Using psychoanalytic theory and a number of case studies this book isolates key psychological factors that appear to help explain why such acts of extreme violence occur.Starting from a psychoanalytic standpoint Psychoanalysis Violence and Rage-Type Murder argues for a pluralistic approach to understanding aggression and claims that the origins of aggression have no single source or cause. Drawing broadly on psychological criminological and psychoanalytic research the author outlines the clinical features of the act and explores the possible role that psychopathology and personality might play in the build up to murder. These observations raise a number of questions about the so-called 'normality' of the individual alongside the capacity to commit murder and how we might understand the stability of such offenders. Psychoanalysis Violence and Rage-Type Murder will be of great interest to psychotherapists forensic psychotherapists psychoanalysts psychologists criminologists and health care workers.

Soft Computing Techniques for Type-2 Diabetes Data Classification

Soft Computing Techniques for Type-2 Diabetes Data Classification

Diabetes Mellitus (DM commonly referred to as diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Lack of sufficient insulin causes presence of excess sugar levels in the blood. As a result the glucose levels in diabetic patients are more than normal ones. It has symptoms like frequent urination increased hunger increase thirst and high blood sugar. There are mainly three types of diabetes namely type-1 type-2 and gestational diabetes. Type-1 DM occurs due to immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the beta-cells and Type-2 DM occurs due to insulin resistance. Gestational DM occurs in women during pregnancy due to insulin blocking by pregnancy harmones. Among these three types of DM type-2 DM is more prevalence and impacting so many millions of people across the world. Classification and predictive systems are actually reliable in the health care sector to explore hidden patterns in the patients data. These systems aid medical professionals to enhance their diagnosis prognosis along with remedy organizing techniques. The less percentage of improvement in classifier predictive accuracy is very important for medical diagnosis purposes where mistakes can cause a lot of damage to patient’s life. Hence we need a more accurate classification system for prediction of type-2 DM. Although most of the above classification algorithms are efficient they failed to provide good accuracy with low computational cost. In this book we proposed various classification algorithms using soft computing techniques like Neural Networks (NNs) Fuzzy Systems (FS) and Swarm Intelligence (SI). The experimental results demonstrate that these algorithms are able to produce high classification accuracy at less computational cost. The contributions presented in this book shall attempt to address the following objectives using soft computing approaches for identification of diabetes mellitus. Introuducing an optimized RBFN model called Opt-RBFN. Designing a cost effective rule miner called SM-RuleMiner for type-2 diabetes diagnosis. Generating more interpretable fuzzy rules for accurate diagnosis of type2 diabetes using RST-BatMiner. Developing accurate cascade ensemble frameworks called Diabetes-Network for type-2 diabetes diagnosis. Proposing a Multi-level ensemble framework called Dia-Net for improving the classification accuracy of type-2 diabetes diagnosis. Designing an Intelligent Diabetes Risk score Model called Intelli-DRM estimate the severity of Diabetes mellitus. This book serves as a reference book for scientific investigators who need to analyze disease data and/or numerical data as well as researchers developing methodology in soft computing field. It may also be used as a textbook for a graduate and post graduate level course in machine learning or soft computing.

Conjugate Gradient Type Methods for Ill-Posed Problems

Conjugate Gradient Type Methods for Ill-Posed Problems

The conjugate gradient method is a powerful tool for the iterative solution of self-adjoint operator equations in Hilbert space.This volume summarizes and extends the developments of the past decade concerning the applicability of the conjugate gradient method (and some of its variants) to ill posed problems and their regularization. Such problems occur in applications from almost all natural and technical sciences including astronomical and geophysical imaging signal analysis computerized tomography inverse heat transfer problems and many moreThis Research Note presents a unifying analysis of an entire family of conjugate gradient type methods. Most of the results are as yet unpublished or obscured in the Russian literature. Beginning with the original results by Nemirovskii and others for minimal residual type methods equally sharp convergence results are then derived with a different technique for the classical Hestenes-Stiefel algorithm. In the final chapter some of these results are extended to selfadjoint indefinite operator equations.The main tool for the analysis is the connection of conjugate gradient type methods to real orthogonal polynomials and elementary properties of these polynomials. These prerequisites are provided in a first chapter. Applications to image reconstruction and inverse heat transfer problems are pointed out and exemplarily numerical results are shown for these applications.
