Security-First Compliance for Small Businesses

Security-First Compliance for Small Businesses

Organizations of all sizes struggle to secure their data in a constantly evolving digital landscape. Expanding digital footprints and the rapid expansion of cloud strategies arising from the COVID-19 pandemic increase an organization’s attack surface. When combined with limited resources caused by the cybersecurity skills gap securing small and mid-sized business IT infrastructures becomes more complicated. With limited staffing and budgetary restrictions small businesses need to create cost-effective security-driven programs that protect data while also meeting increasingly stringent compliance requirements. This book bridges the gap between complex technical language and business objectives to create a security-first review of the security and compliance landscapes. Starting from the premise that “with security comes compliance ” this book starts by defining “security-first” and then walking readers through the process of creating a holistic security and compliance program. Looking at security and privacy through the lens of zero trust this overview of regulations and industry standards provides both background about and implications drawn from modern security practices. Rather than focusing solely on individual cybersecurity frameworks this book offers insights into best practices based on the commonalities between regulations and industry standards highlighting some of the primary differences to show the nuances. Woven throughout are practical examples of solutions that enable small and mid-sized businesses to create “cybersustainable” security-focused policies processes and controls that protect today’s future for tomorrow’s digital ecosystem. | Security-First Compliance for Small Businesses

Small Signal Audio Design

Small Signal Audio Design is a highly practical handbook providing an extensive repertoire of circuits that can be assembled to make almost any type of audio system. The publication of Electronics for Vinyl has freed up space for new material (though this book still contains a lot on moving-magnet and moving-coil electronics) and this fully revised third edition offers wholly new chapters on tape machines guitar electronics and variable-gain amplifiers plus much more. A major theme is the use of inexpensive and readily available parts to obtain state-of-the-art performance for noise distortion crosstalk frequency response accuracy and other parameters. Virtually every page reveals nuggets of specialized knowledge not found anywhere else. For example you can improve the offness of a fader simply by adding a resistor in the right place- if you know the right place. Essential points of theory that bear on practical audio performance are lucidly and thoroughly explained with the mathematics kept to an absolute minimum. Self’s background in design for manufacture ensures he keeps a wary eye on the cost of things. This book features the engaging prose style familiar to readers of his other books. You will learn why mercury-filled cables are not a good idea the pitfalls of plating gold on copper and what quotes from Star Trek have to do with PCB design. Learn how to: make amplifiers with apparently impossibly low noise design discrete circuitry that can handle enormous signals with vanishingly low distortion use humble low-gain transistors to make an amplifier with an input impedance of more than 50 megohms transform the performance of low-cost-opamps build active filters with very low noise and distortion make incredibly accurate volume controls make a huge variety of audio equalisers make magnetic cartridge preamplifiers that have noise so low it is limited by basic physics by using load synthesis sum switch clip compress and route audio signals be confident that phase perception is not an issue This expanded and updated third edition contains extensive new material on optimising RIAA equalisation electronics for ribbon microphones summation of noise sources defining system frequency response loudness controls and much more.

Climate Change Impacts on the Stability of Small Tidal Inlets

Climate Change Impacts on the Stability of Small Tidal Inlets

This work explores coastal zones in the vicinity of tidal inlets which are commonly utilized for navigation sand mining waterfront developments and fishing and recreation are under particularly high population pressure and will only be exacerbated by foreshadowed climate change (CC). Although few recent studies have investigated CC impacts on very large tidal inlet systems the nature and magnitude of CC impacts on the more commonly found small tidal inlets (STIs) remains practically un-investigated to date. The combination of pre-dominant occurrence in developing countries socio-economic relevance and low community resilience general lack of data and high sensitivity to seasonal forcing makes STIs potentially very vulnerable to CC impacts. This study was undertaken to develop methods and tools that can provide insights on potential CC impacts on STIs and to demonstrate their application to assess these CC impacts. Two process based snap-shot modeling approaches for data poor and data rich environments are used to assess CC impacts and an innovative reduced complexity model is developed to obtain rapid predictions of CC impacts on the STI’s stability. Results show that STIs are unlikely to change their types but that their stability level is likely to change under CC impacts. The main driver for the change is the future variations in wave directions not SLR as is commonly thought. | Climate Change Impacts on the Stability of Small Tidal Inlets

Fish Swimming in Turbulent Waters Hydraulic Engineering Guidelines to assist Upstream Passage of Small-Bodied Fish Species in Standard Box

Fish Swimming in Turbulent Waters Hydraulic Engineering Guidelines to assist Upstream Passage of Small-Bodied Fish Species in Standard Box

Low-level river crossings including culverts are important for delivering a range of valuable socioeconomic services including transportation and hydrological control. These structures are also known to have negative impacts on freshwater river system morphology and ecology including the blockage of upstream fish passage particularly small-body-mass fish species. Given the enormous environmental problems created by road crossings new hydraulic engineering guidelines are proposed for fish-friendly multi-cell box culvert designs. The focus of these guidelines is on smooth box culverts without appurtenance with a novel approach based upon three basic concepts: (I) the culvert design is optimized for fish passage for small to medium water discharges and for flood capacity for larger discharges (II) low-velocity zones are provided along the wetted perimeter in the culvert barrel and quantified in terms of a fraction of the wetted flow area where the local longitudinal velocity is less than a characteristic fish speed linked to swimming performances of targeted fish species and (III) the culvert barrel is smooth without any other form of boundary treatment and appurtenance. The present monograph develops a number of practical considerations in particular relevant to box culvert operations for less-than-design discharges. It is argued that upstream fish passage capabilities would imply a revised approach to maintenance in part linked to the targeted fish species. This reference work is authored for civil and environmental engineers as well as biology and ecology scientists interested in culvert design. While the book is aimed to professionals the material is also lectured in postgraduate courses and in professional short courses. | Fish Swimming in Turbulent Waters Hydraulic Engineering Guidelines to assist Upstream Passage of Small-Bodied Fish Species in Standard Box

The Future of Entrepreneurship in Africa Cross-Sectoral Perspectives Post COVID-19

The Future of Entrepreneurship in Africa Cross-Sectoral Perspectives Post COVID-19

Thsi book focuses on entrepreneurial development and the development of small businesses in Africa. The central idea of this book is that entrepreneurial development and small business development are connected. Entrepreneurship is lauded as an engine of growth (economic development and job creation) with small businesses often contributing to new job creation. Also entrepreneurship and small business development are the heart of many countries’ economies. The decision to focus on entrepreneurial development and small business development is that first there is a consensus that most entrepreneurial activities are aimed at creating small new ventures. Second countries that give special attention to entrepreneurship stand a chance of industrialization. Third Africa has been reported as having a rich entrepreneurial landscape as the continent’s wealthiest individuals generated their wealth as trailblazing entrepreneurs. Fourth small-scale entrepreneurs and businesses form the backbone of economic activities across the continent. A motivation to focus on entrepreneurial and small business development is the generally accepted view that start-ups in Africa are growing calling for understanding into how to enhance productivity efficiencies and application of new technologies. The book aims to enhance the understanding of stakeholders (business owners governments practitioners) to overturn challenges such as inadequate start-up capital competition lack of employees with the right skills and low use of technology. The ability to develop entrepreneurship in Africa and the role of small-medium enterprises cannot be underestimated. The promotion of entrepreneurship in Africa is crucial as it creates jobs provides decent livelihoods and contributes to GDP. Most entrepreneurial initiatives in developing economies entail identifying opportunities and new venture creation. It is worth recognizing that most new ventures created take the form of small businesses and the entrepreneurial processes involve entrepreneurs’ knowledge and skills identifying opportunities involvement in setting up a business and managing the business. The various aspects of this book focus on many entrepreneurial activities that are undertaken on the African continent. This book is focused on African countries since there is a reason to be optimistic about the prospects for growth and entrepreneurship. To achieve entrepreneurial success in African countries the African Development Bank (2021) proposes that there must be a link between macro and firm-level characteristics that will serve as the mix of entrepreneurship in societies. This book therefore considers some macro-level factors such as education training and skills development technological developments government programs and entrepreneurial challenges and opportunities. At the firm-level this book focuses on entrepreneurial initiatives such as branding and marketing. | The Future of Entrepreneurship in Africa Cross-Sectoral Perspectives Post COVID-19

Service Provision and Rural Sustainability Infrastructure and Innovation

Service Provision and Rural Sustainability Infrastructure and Innovation

Access to quality services and community infrastructure are vital parts of supporting sustainable and resilient rural and small town places. Renewing outdated infrastructure and supporting the delivery of services in rural communities present significant challenges from the constrained fiscal and policy realities of the 21st century. Drawing upon contributors from five Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries this book describes innovative service delivery and community infrastructure models that are appropriate to the contemporary rural and resource-dependent regions of developed economies. The examples show that an entrepreneurial approach to service delivery and infrastructure provision by local organizations and governments is needed. Critical economic and community development supports are crucial to assist creative and innovative sets of solutions that work for small communities. Chapters in this book argue that community development foundations for resilient rural and small town communities and regions must be co-constructed and co-delivered in partnership by both local and senior government actors in terms of both policy and committed resources. This volume will be extremely valuable for students scholars and community development practitioners exploring policy-making government initiatives and community service provision in rural and small town places. | Service Provision and Rural Sustainability Infrastructure and Innovation
