Macromolecules Containing Metal and Metal-Like Elements, Transition Metal-Containing Polymers - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Alaa S. Abd-El-Aziz, Charles E. Carraher, Charles U. Pittman, Martel Zeldin خلاصه: Transition metal-containing macromolecules come in a wide variety of structures. While volume 5 of this series dealt with metal coordination polymers, in this book we focus on transition metal-containing polymers where the metal is bonded to at least one organic group through σ- and/or π-bonds. Many of the macromolecules covered in this volume are often referred to as organometallic polymers. The term organometallic compound refers to compounds that contain at least one metal–carbon (M–C) bond, whether the bond is σ or π or some combination of both types of bonding.

Adhesives, Sealants, and Coatings for Space and Harsh Environments - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Lieng-Huang Lee (auth.), Lieng-Huang Lee (eds.) خلاصه: New technologies constantly generate new demands for exotic materials to be used in severe environments. The rapid developments of aerospace industries during the last two decades have required new materials to survive extreme high and low temperatures and various radiations. The exploration of new energy sources, e.g., solar and geothermal, has led us to develop new solar collectors and geothermal devices. Even the search for new oils has demanded that we study the corrosive environment of oil fields. In the telecommunication industries, optical fibers have been adopted broadly to replace metallic conductors. However, none of the optical fibers can survive abrasion or corrosion without the application of a coating material. For microelectronics, protection in terms of coatings and encapsulants is deemed necessary to prevent corrosion. One of the major causes of corrosion has been shown to be water which appears to be abundant in our earthly environments. Water can attack the bulk adhesive (or sealant), the interface, or the adherend. Water can also cause delamination of coating film, and it is definitely the major ingredient in causing cathodic or anodic corrosion. Thus, water becomes the major obstacle in solving durability problems of various materials in harsh environments.

Algorithmic Trading: Winning Strategies and Their Rationale - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Ernie Chan خلاصه: Praise for Algorithmic Trading"Algorithmic Trading is an insightful book on quantitative trading written by a seasoned practitioner. What sets this book apart from many others in the space is the emphasis on real examples as opposed to just theory. Concepts are not only described, they are brought to life with actual trading strategies, which give the reader insight into how and why each strategy was developed, how it was implemented, and even how it was coded. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to create their own systematic trading strategies and those involved in manager selection, where the knowledge contained in this book will lead to a more informed and nuanced conversation with managers."—DAREN SMITH, CFA, CAIA, FSA, Managing Director, Manager Selection & Portfolio Construction, University of Toronto Asset Management"Using an excellent selection of mean reversion and momentum strategies, Ernie explains the rationale behind each one, shows how to test it, how to improve it, and discusses implementation issues. His book is a careful, detailed exposition of the scientific method applied to strategy development. For serious retail traders, I know of no other book that provides this range of examples and level of detail. His discussions of how regime changes affect strategies, and of risk management, are invaluable bonuses."—Roger Hunter, Mathematician and Algorithmic Trader

The science of algorithmic trading and portfolio management - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Kissell, Robert خلاصه: Algorithmic trading represents the computerized executions of financial instruments. Algorithms trade stocks, bonds, currencies, and a plethora of financial derivatives. Algorithms are also fundamental to investment strategies and trading goals. The new era of trading provides investors with more efficient executions while lowering transaction costs—the result, improved portfolio performance. Algorithmic trading has been referred to as “automated,” “black box” and “robo” trading. Trading via algorithms requires investors to first specify their investing and/or trading goals in terms of mathematical instructions. Dependent upon investors’ needs, customized instructions range from simple to highly sophisticated. After instructions are specified, computers implement those trades following the prescribed instructions.

Networks and Trans-Cultural Exchange: Slave Trading in the South Atlantic, 1590-1867 - Original PDF
نویسندگان: David Richardson, Filipa Ribeiro Da Silva خلاصه: Winner of the 2015 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award Studies of the South Atlantic commercial world typically focus on connections between Angola and Brazil, and specifically on the flows of enslaved Africans from Luanda and the relations between Portuguese-Brazilian traders and other agents and their local African and mulatto trading partners. While reaffirming the centrality of slaving activities and of the networks that underpinned them, this collection of new essays shows that there were major Portuguese-Brazilian slave-trading activities in the South Atlantic outside Luanda as well as the Angolan-Brazil axes upon which historians usually focus. In drawing attention to these aspects of the South Atlantic commercial world, we are reminded that this was a world of change and also one in which Portuguese-Brazilian traders were unable to sustain in the face of competition from northern European rivals the dominant position in slave trading in Atlantic Africa that they had first established in the sixteenth century.

Democratic Governance and Economic Performance: How Accountability Can Go Too Far in Politics, Law, and Business - Original PDF
Democratic Governance and Economic Performance: How Accountability Can Go Too Far in Politics, Law, and Business - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Dino Falaschetti خلاصه: Conventional wisdom warns that unaccountable political and business agents can enrich a few at the expense of many. But logically extending this wisdom implies that associated principals – voters, consumers, shareholders – will favor themselves over the greater good when ‘rules of the game’ instead create too much accountability. Democratic Governance and Economic Performance rigorously develops this hypothesis, and finds statistical evidence and case study illustrations that democratic institutions at various governance levels (e.g., federal, state, corporation) have facilitated opportunistic gains for electoral, consumer, and shareholder principals. To be sure, this conclusion does not dismiss the potential for democratic governance to productively reduce agency costs. Rather, it suggests that policy makers, lawyers, and managers can improve governance by weighing the agency benefits of increased accountability against the distributional costs of favoring principal stakeholders over more general economic opportunities. Carefully considering the fundamentals that give rise to this tradeoff should interest students and scholars working at the intersection of social science and the law, and can help professionals improve their own performance in policy, legal, and business settings. Falaschetti skillfully synthesizes key ideas from social choice theory, organizational economics, and interest group politics to challenge conventional wisdom about the benefits of democratic governance in organizations. This is an important book for reforming how financial institutions are regulated, and corporations are governed, in the wake of the great financial market collapse of 2008. (Margaret Blair, Vanderbilt Law) The scope of Democratic Governance and Economic Performance is truly commendable. While legal scholars, economists, and political scientists have raised parts of these issues before, by addressing the topic from both theoretical and empirical levels, this book provides useful perspective to anyone interested in the relationship between governance institutions and firm performance. (Jon Klick, Penn Law) This insightful book shares with Madison’s "Federalist #10" a concern for potentially disruptive effects from "majority factions." Falaschetti reminds us that some of our most costly policies result from democratic responsiveness, while some of our most successful policies come from organizations (e.g. courts, the Fed) that insulate us from democratic pressures.
