Managing School Intellectual Capital for Strategic Development Lessons from Asia and Europe

Managing School Intellectual Capital for Strategic Development Lessons from Asia and Europe

Cheng articulates the extent to which knowledge management approaches can create Intellectual Capital (IC) and contribute to improvements in education quality. He argues that public schools have long contended with the requirements of quality assurance in a competitive environment of decreasing student numbers increasing parental choice and rising standards of accountability. As public organisations schools have to demonstrate appropriate resource management and show evidence that they are meeting defined development plans and goals. Cheng proposes a strategic approach IC management to help schools respond to and cope with the increasingly competitive environment while enhancing school capacity for improving student learning. First the book guides readers to understand the development of IC theory in the context of education to address the requirements of quality assurance and accountability. It then introduces Lesson Study e-Learning and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as key resources and drivers for building school IC and examines the organisational factors that enable knowledge management approaches for developing IC in schools from both Asia and Europe. It concludes by offering strategies and implementation methods to manage school IC for sustainable development. Combining research from Asia and Europe this edited volume will be useful for school leaders and policy makers as well as those researching school leadership and IC. | Managing School Intellectual Capital for Strategic Development Lessons from Asia and Europe

VLSI Circuits and Embedded Systems

VLSI Circuits and Embedded Systems

Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) creates an integrated circuit (IC) by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip. While designing a circuit reduction of power consumption is a great challenge. VLSI designs reduce the size of circuits which eventually reduces the power consumption of the devices. However it increases the complexity of the digital system. Therefore computer-aided design tools are introduced into hardware design processes. Unlike the general-purpose computer an embedded system is engineered to manage a wide range of processing tasks. Single or multiple processing cores manage embedded systems in the form of microcontrollers digital signal processors field-programmable gate arrays and application-specific integrated circuits. Security threats have become a significant issue since most embedded systems lack security even more than personal computers. Many embedded systems hacking tools are readily available on the internet. Hacking in the PDAs and modems is a pervasive example of embedded systems hacking. This book explores the designs of VLSI circuits and embedded systems. These two vast topics are divided into four parts. In the book's first part the Decision Diagrams (DD) have been covered. DDs have extensively used Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software to synthesize circuits and formal verification. The book's second part mainly covers the design architectures of Multiple-Valued Logic (MVL) Circuits. MVL circuits offer several potential opportunities to improve present VLSI circuit designs. The book's third part deals with Programmable Logic Devices (PLD). PLDs can be programmed to incorporate a complex logic function within a single IC for VLSI circuits and Embedded Systems. The fourth part of the book concentrates on the design architectures of Complex Digital Circuits of Embedded Systems. As a whole from this book core researchers academicians and students will get the complete picture of VLSI Circuits and Embedded Systems and their applications.

The 2007 Iran Nuclear Estimate Revisited Anatomy of a Controversy

The 2007 Iran Nuclear Estimate Revisited Anatomy of a Controversy

The 2007 Iran Nuclear Estimate Revisited: Anatomy of a Controversy explores both the contents and reaction to the U. S. intelligence community’s (IC) National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) that Iran had suspended its clandestine program to develop nuclear weapons. The volume offers insights into the art of intelligence analysis and the issues encountered when estimates run counter to policy or partisan preferences. In November 2007 the U. S. National Intelligence Council issued an NIE entitled Iran’s Nuclear Intentions and Capabilities that contained a surprising finding. Analysts concluded that Iran had probably suspended its clandestine effort to develop a nuclear weapon. This assessment created a political firestorm despite the fact that analysts went to great lengths to assess the accuracy of their sources and to offer nuanced judgments about the complex issues surrounding Iran’s civilian and military nuclear programs. In this edited volume former intelligence professionals and leading intelligence scholars describe and assess the factors that shaped this NIE and the course of events that sparked an international controversy. These chapters make a valuable contribution to the understanding of the state of the art when it comes to intelligence analysis and the challenges that emerge when intelligence estimates address significant foreign and defence policy issues and on-going political debates. One of the chapters in this volume was originally published in the book titled Routledge Companion to Intelligence Studies edited by Robert Dover Michael Goodman Claudia Hillebrand. Other chapters were originally published in the journals Intelligence and National Security and Comparative Strategy. | The 2007 Iran Nuclear Estimate Revisited Anatomy of a Controversy

Park Maker Life of Frederick Law Olmsted

Park Maker Life of Frederick Law Olmsted

On April 28 1858 municipal officials announced the winner of the design contest for a great new park for the people of New York City-Plan no. 33 Greensward by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. Though the appropriated ground for what was to become Central Park was nothing more than a barren expanse occupied by squatters in a matter of a few years Olmsted turned the wasteland into a landscape of coherence elegance and beauty. It not only surpassed the design ingenuity of its existing European counterparts but gained the designer national acclaim in a profession that still lacked a name. Olmsted was an American visionary. He foresaw the day when New York and many other growing cities of the mid-nineteenth century would be plagued by what we presently term urban sprawl. And he was convinced of the critical importance of adapting land for the recreational and contemplative needs of city dwellers before the last remnants of natural terrain were engulfed by monotonous straight streets and piles of erect angular buildings. As a result of his early efforts to revolutionize the design of public parks many cities today are able to preserve the recreational space and greenery within their urban limits. In addition his thoughts and words on wilderness areas still echo across a century of preservation in the wild. This lively and insightful account of his prodigious life features many of his outstanding landscape projects including the Biltmore Estate Prospect Park (Brooklyn) the capitol grounds in Washington DC the Boston Park System the Chicago parks and the Chicago World Fair as well as measures to preserve the natural settings at Niagara Falls Yosemite and the Adirondacks. It traces his early years and describes events that were to form his artistic intellectual and deeply humanistic sensibilities. And it restores this lost American hero to his prominent place in history. In addition to being the acknowledged father of American landscape architecture Frederick Law Olmsted helped shape the political and philosophical climate of America in his own time and today. Elizabeth Stevenson is the author of the Bancroft Award-winning Henry Adams: A Biography; The Glass Lark a biography of Lafcadio Hearn; and Babbitts and Bohemians: From the Great War to the Great Depression all available from Transaction. | Park Maker Life of Frederick Law Olmsted
