Organisational Resilience Concepts Integration and Practice

Organisational Resilience Concepts Integration and Practice

An eternal dilemma for all organizations and one that a considerable portion of management schools are set up to address is how to become and stay competitive. Organisational Resilience: Concepts Integration and Practice brings together for the first time key works that describe the scope and nature of resilience and provides direction to take the field forwards. A response not only to rapidly growing interest in this field but to the increased importance placed on it the book presents a broad introduction to research knowledge and practice. The book captures the diversity and depth of current thinking about research on organizational-related resilience. The book explains fundamental concepts and clarifies some underlying ideas from diverse fields of resilience-related research. It examines how some of these concepts and ideas have been integrated into specific research activity and used to further develop their respective fields of enquiry. The connecting of concepts and ideas to existing readily helps to progress the development of theory. The book then focuses on aspects of real World practice and experience. However the central theme about resilience as a concept is that it is not merely concerned with survival pure and simple but that this survival involves transformation more often than not. Examining resilience at the organizational level this book clarifies the commonality of concepts and practice that exists among disparate research disciplines and establishes a singular ‘go-to’ work that can be used to develop operational and strategic practices. | Organisational Resilience Concepts Integration and Practice

Multiple Scales of Suspended Sediment Dynamics in a Complex Geometry Estuary

Multiple Scales of Suspended Sediment Dynamics in a Complex Geometry Estuary

Many estuaries are located in urbanized highly engineered environments. Cohesive sediment plays an important role due to its link with estuarine health and ecology. An important ecological parameter is the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) translated into turbidity levels and sediment budget. This study contributes to investigate and forecast turbidity levels and sediment budget variability at San Francisco Bay-Delta system at a variety of spatial and temporal scales applying a flexible mesh process-based model (Delft3D FM). It is possible to have a robust sediment model which reproduces 90% of the yearly data derived sediment budget with simple model settings like applying one mud fraction and a simple bottom sediment distribution. This finding opens the horizon for modeling less monitored estuaries. Comparing two case studies i. e. the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Alviso Slough a classification for estuaries regarding the main sediment dynamic forcing is proposed: event-driven estuary (Delta) and tide-driven estuary (Alviso Slough). In the event-driven estuaries the rivers are the main sediment source and the tides have minor impact in the net sediment transport. In the tide-driven estuaries the main sediment source is the bottom sediment and the tide asymmetry defines the net sediment transport. This research also makes advances in connecting different scientific fields and developing a managerial tool to support decision making. It provides the basis to a chain of models which goes from the hydrodynamics to suspended sediment to phytoplankton to fish clams and marshes. | Multiple Scales of Suspended Sediment Dynamics in a Complex Geometry Estuary

VLSI Architectures for Modern Error-Correcting Codes

VLSI Architectures for Modern Error-Correcting Codes

Error-correcting codes are ubiquitous. They are adopted in almost every modern digital communication and storage system such as wireless communications optical communications Flash memories computer hard drives sensor networks and deep-space probing. New-generation and emerging applications demand codes with better error-correcting capability. On the other hand the design and implementation of those high-gain error-correcting codes pose many challenges. They usually involve complex mathematical computations and mapping them directly to hardware often leads to very high complexity. VLSI Architectures for Modern Error-Correcting Codes serves as a bridge connecting advancements in coding theory to practical hardware implementations. Instead of focusing on circuit-level design techniques the book highlights integrated algorithmic and architectural transformations that lead to great improvements on throughput silicon area requirement and/or power consumption in the hardware implementation. The goal of this book is to provide a comprehensive and systematic review of available techniques and architectures so that they can be easily followed by system and hardware designers to develop en/decoder implementations that meet error-correcting performance and cost requirements. This book can be also used as a reference for graduate-level courses on VLSI design and error-correcting coding. Particular emphases are placed on hard- and soft-decision Reed-Solomon (RS) and Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) codes and binary and non-binary low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. These codes are among the best candidates for modern and emerging applications due to their good error-correcting performance and lower implementation complexity compared to other codes. To help explain the computations and en/decoder architectures many examples and case studies are included. More importantly discussions are provided on the advantages and drawbacks of different implementation approaches and architectures.
