Electronic commerce : a managerial and social networks perspective / Efraim Turban... [et al.].
No full textxxxix, 793 pages :Throughout the book, theoretical foundations necessary for understanding Electronic Commerce (EC) are presented, ranging from consumer behavior to the economic theory of competition. Furthermore, this book presents the most current topics relating to EC as described by a diversified team of experts in a variety of fields, including a senior vice president of an e-commerce-related company. The authors provide website resources, numerous exercises, and extensive references to supplement the theoretical presentations. At the end of each chapter, a list of online resources with links to the websites is also provided. Additionally, extensive, vivid examples from large corporations, small businesses from different industries, and services, governments, and nonprofit agencies from all over the world make concepts come alive in Electronic Commerce. These examples, which were collected by both academicians and practitioners, show the reader the capabilities of EC, its cost and justification, and the innovative ways corporations are using EC in their operations. In this edition (previous editions published by Pearson/Prentice Hall), the authors bring forth the latest trends in e-commerce, including social businesses, social networking, social collaboration, innovations, and mobilit
A Microturbine Interface System with LVRT Capability
No full textMicroturbine Units (MTU) are used widely as distributed generators for their proved advantages. This paper presents an interface system for the Microturbine Unit (MTU) based on back-to-back converter to operate in grid connected and islanding modes. Besides regulating the active power fed from the MTU, during the grid-connected mode, the proposed interface system regulates the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) voltage at its rated value. Moreover, the proposed interface system is controlled to have a Low Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) capability by feeding the grid with reactive power during grid faults. Furthermore, the proposed interface system keeps the voltage and frequency at the load terminal during the islanding mode of operation with the same control structure. Simulation results are provided to evaluate the dynamic performance of the proposed MTU interface system at the different modes of operation
Modellbildung und Simulation. English
No full textcomputer bookfair2015xiv, 413 pages :This book provides an introduction to mathematical and computer-oriented modeling and to
simulation as a universal methodology. It therefore addresses various model classes and their
derivations. And it demonstrates the diversity of approaches that can be taken: be it discrete
or continuous, deterministic or stochastic. A common underlying theme throughout the book
are the means in which one obtains practical simulation results from these different abstract
models.
Subsequent to a brief review of the mathematical tools that are required, the concept of the
simulation pipeline, "from model derivation to the simulation", is applied to 14 example
scenarios from diverse fields such as "Game theory - deciding - planning", "Traffic on
highways and data highways", "Dynamical systems" and "Physics in the computer".
Whether it is game theory or mathematical finance, traffic or control theory, population
dynamics or chaos, or molecular dynamics, continuum mechanics or computer graphics - the
reader gains insight into the world of simulation in a descriptive yet systematic way

Big data, mining, and analytics : components of strategic decision making / Stephan Kudyba ; foreword by Thomas H. Davenport.
No full textBusiness bookfair2015Includes bibliographical references and index.xv, 305 pages :"Foreword Big data and analytics promise to change virtually every industry and business function over the next decade. Any organization that gets started early with big data can gain a significant competitive edge. Just as early analytical competitors in the "small data" era (including Capital One bank, Progressive Insurance, and Marriott hotels) moved out ahead of their competitors and built a sizable competitive edge, the time is now for firms to seize the big data opportunity. As this book describes, the potential of big data is enabled by ubiquitous computing and data gathering devices; sensors and microprocessors will soon be everywhere. Virtually every mechanical or electronic device can leave a trail that describes its performance, location, or state. These devices, and the people who use them, communicate through the Internet--which leads to another vast data source. When all these bits are combined with those from other media--wireless and wired telephony, cable, satellite, and so forth--the future of data appears even bigger. The availability of all this data means that virtually every business or organizational activity can be viewed as a big data problem or initiative. Manufacturing, in which most machines already have one or more microprocessors, is increasingly a big data environment. Consumer marketing, with myriad customer touchpoints and clickstreams, is already a big data problem. Google has even described its self-driving car as a big data project. Big data is undeniably a big deal, but it needs to be put in context"-- Provided by publisher
Volcanic gas reservoir characterization / Qiquan Ran, Yongjun Wang, Yuanhui Sun, Lin Yan, Min Tong.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.xix, 583 pages :"This introduction chapter summarizes our current understandings of volcanic gas reservoirs worldwide and in China. The challenges and their innovative technical solutions presented in this book, as well as the significance of gas reservoir characterization, are summarized based on the authors' real case studies in Chinese volcanic gas fields during the last decade. A flow chart representing the research concepts and approaches that deal with specific difficulties in volcanic gas reservoir characterization provides the readers with an outline of this book"-- Provided by publisher
The big data-driven business : how to use big data to win customers, beat competitors, and boost profits / Russell Glass, Sean Callahan.
No full textIncludes index.business bookfair2016x, 214 pages :The marketplace has entered an era where the customer holds all the cards. With unprecedented choice in both the consumer world and the B2B world, it's imperative that businesses gain a greater understanding of their customers and prospects. Filled with real-world examples, this book demonstrates how leading marketers embrace software platforms that include marketing automation software, customer relationship management systems, data management platforms, and analytics tools to help make sense of customer behavior.

A validated stability indicating HPLC method for determination of sitagliptin
No full textcomparative and stability‐indicating reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic study have been developed and validated for sitagliptin phosphate. The liquid chromatographic determination was achieved isocratically on Poroshell 120 EC‐C18 (100 × 4.6 mm, i.d.; particle size, 2.7 µm), Pursuit 5PFP (150 × 4.6 mm, i.d.; particle size, 5 µm) and Chromolith performance RP‐18e (100 × 4.6 mm, i.d.; macropore diameter, 2 µm) columns using a mobile phase consisting of methanol:water:triethylamine:acetic acid (60:40:0.1:0.1; v:v:v:v), at a flow rate 0.5 mL/min and UV detection at 268 nm. The method was linear ove r the concentration range of 100‐1000 µg/mL (r = 0.9998) with a limit of detection and quantitation of 10 and 30 µg/mL, respectively. All the validation parameters and stability indicating study were studied on Poroshell 120 EC‐C18 column, which achieved the best separation. The proposed method has been found to have the required accuracy, selectivity, sensitivity, and precision to assay sitagliptin phosphate in bulk form and in a pharmaceutica l dosage form. Degradation products resulting from the stress studies did not interfere with the detection of sitagliptin phosphate that indicates that the assay are stabilit y‐indicating assay
