 Emerging Spatial Information Systems and ApplicationsSpatial information systems were created manually for many years. For example, historically, the source of cholera in London in 1854 was found by John Snow, by mapping where victims of the disease lived. The graph clearly showed them to be close to the Broad Street Pump,1 one of the city’s water wells. Another example is Zipf’s Law,2... |  |  |  |  |

 Design for Six Sigma : A Roadmap for Product DevelopmentThe attraction of Six Sigma is obvious — designs that work, fewer defects in manufacturing, lowered production costs, and greater customer satisfaction. With these pluses, it’s no wonder the world’s leading companies are adopting the Six Sigma approach to product development in ever-growing numbers. Now here’s a powerful... |  |  Principles and Applications of Fluorescence Spectroscopy
With reference to absorption spectroscopy,we deal herewith photon absorption by electrons
distributed within specific orbitals in a population of molecules. Upon absorption, one
electron reaches an upper vacant orbital of higher energy. Thus, light absorption would
induce the molecule excitation. Transition from ground to excited... |  |  Making Scorecards Actionable: Balancing Strategy and Control"The attraction of balanced scorecards is to help translate strategy into the stories, business logic and tasks that grab people's imaginations and so result in purposeful action. Yet, too often, it hasn't worked that way. In a refreshingly honest and pragmatic way, the authors analyse both the successes and failures of companies using... |
