Seed Inoculation Coating and Precision Pelleting Science Technology and Practical Applications

Seed Inoculation Coating and Precision Pelleting Science Technology and Practical Applications

Seed inoculation is the practice of effectively introducing a high number of nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Rhizobium or Bradyrhizobium) on the surface of legume seeds prior to planting. The bacteria penetrates the root resulting in the formation of root nodules that fix nitrogen from the air and make it readily available to the plant. This book describes the need the development and the use of rhizobia and how this process may be reproduced successfully around the world especially in underdeveloped agricultural countries. | Seed Inoculation Coating and Precision Pelleting Science Technology and Practical Applications

Aviation and Human Factors How to Incorporate Human Factors into the Field

Aviation and Human Factors How to Incorporate Human Factors into the Field

Air safety is right now at a point where the chances of being killed in an aviation accident are far lower than the chances to winning a jackpot in any of the major lotteries. However keeping or improving that performance level requires a critical analysis of some events that despite scarce point to structural failures in the learning process. The effect of these failures could increase soon if there is not a clear and right development path. This book tries to identify what is wrong why there are things to fix and some human factors principles to keep in aircraft design and operations. FeaturesShows through different events how the system learns through technology practices and regulations and the pitfalls of that learning processDiscusses the use of information technology in safety-critical environments and why procedural knowledge is not enoughPresents air safety management as a successful process but at the same time failures coming from technological and organizational features are shownOffers ways to improve from the human factors side by getting the right lessons from recent events | Aviation and Human Factors How to Incorporate Human Factors into the Field

Crisis in Higher Education A Customer-Focused Resource Management Resolution

Crisis in Higher Education A Customer-Focused Resource Management Resolution

While many students parents educators and organizations who hire their graduates hold US universities in high regard the cost of higher education has risen much faster than the rate of inflation. High costs in turn have severely limited access to higher education for large portions of the US population or caused graduates and those who fall short of graduation to face substantial student loan debt. This book examines the root causes of these underlying problems and offers a comprehensive easy-to-understand high-impact solution. The book identifies actions that improve higher education outcomes including lower tuition costs better access for student from low and middle income homes faster throughput fewer dropouts and better job opportunities for graduates. It links a real and implementable solution to the underlying problems and their root causes. Upon finishing this book readers should understand why the performance of higher education needs to improve and have solid ideas about how to fix it. The book focuses on public universities but the ideas discussed are also applicable to private for-profit and not-for-profit universities. The writing style is simple and direct. | Crisis in Higher Education A Customer-Focused Resource Management Resolution

Strategic Security Forward Thinking for Successful Executives

Strategic Security Forward Thinking for Successful Executives

Strategic Security will help security managers and those aspiring to the position to think strategically about their job the culture of their workplace and the nature of security planning and implementation. Security professionals tend to focus on the immediate (the urgent) rather than the important and essential—too often serving as firefighters rather than strategists. This book will help professionals consider their roles and structure their tasks through a strategic approach without neglecting their career objectives. Few security management books for professionals in the field focus on corporate or industrial security from a strategic perspective. Books on the market normally provide recipes methods or guidelines to develop plans policies or procedures. However many do so without taking into account the personal element that is supposed to apply these methods. In this book the authors helps readers to consider their own career development in parallel with establishing their organisation security programme. This is fundamental to becoming and serving as a quality effective manager. The element of considering career objectives as part-and-parcel to this is both unique to only this book and vital for long-term career success. The author delineates what makes strategic thinking different in a corporate and security environment. While strategy is crucial in the running of a company the traditional attitude towards security is that it has to fix issues quickly and at low cost. This is an attitude that no other department would tolerate but because of its image security departments sometimes have major issues with buy-in and from top-management. The book covers the necessary level of strategic thinking to put their ideas into practice. Once this is achieved the strategic process is explained including the need to build the different steps into this process—and into the overarching business goals of the organisation—will be demonstrated. The book provides numerous hand-on examples of how to formulate and execute the strategic master plan for the organization. The authors draws on his extensive experience and successes to serve as a valuable resource to all security professionals looking to advance their careers in the field. | Strategic Security Forward Thinking for Successful Executives
