8 things we hate about IT: how to move beyond the frustrations to form a new partnership with IT
No full textWhy can't you get what you really want from IT? All you desire is a ready-and-willing partner to help you exploit IT to drive your business. Instead, you get endless rules and regulations, not to mention processes, projects, and technologies that deliver too little, too late, for too much. It's frustrating! How to build a relationship that puts you firmly in control and produces the business results you need? In The 8 Things We Hate About IT, Susan Cramm provides the answers. Start by understanding differences between operational and IT managers - in backgrounds, personality, pressures, and incentives. Cramm explains how differences prevent operational managers and IT from communicating what, why, and how they do what they do. Citing case studies and stories, the author then presents practical strategies for overcoming the difficulty. These include seeing things from your IT partners' perspective, developing a single version of 'truth,' and assuming accountability for IT just as you've done for management of your firm's financial and human resources. Brutally honest, provocative, and filled with sound advice, this book reveals that the key to solving the IT problem is decidedly un-IT: it's a deeper understanding of human behavior, including how to apply your leadership skills to the world of IT

Genome sequence of the bioplastic-producing ‘‘Knallgas’’ bacterium Ralstonia eutropha H16
No full textThe H2-oxidizing lithoautotrophic bacterium Ralstonia eutropha H16 is a metabolically versatile organism capable of subsisting, in the absence of organic growth substrates, on H2 and CO2 as its sole sources of energy and carbon. R. eutropha H16 first attracted biotechnological interest nearly 50 years ago with the realization that the organism’s ability to produce and store large amounts of poly[R-(–)-3-hydroxybutyrate] and other polyesters could be harnessed to make biodegradable plastics. Here we report the complete genome sequence of the two chromosomes of R. eutropha H16. Together, chromosome 1 (4,052,032 base pairs (bp)) and chromosome 2 (2,912,490 bp) encode 6,116 putative genes. Analysis of the genome sequence offers the genetic basis for exploiting the biotechnological potential of this organism and provides insights into its remarkable metabolic versatility
Purification and characterization of the single-component nitric oxide reductase from Ralstonia eutropha H16
No full textAbstractNitric oxide (NO) reductase was purified from Ralstonia eutropha (formerly Alcaligenes eutrophus) using a two step chromatographic procedure. Unlike the common NO reductases, the enzyme consists of a single subunit of 75 kDa which contains both high-spin and low-spin heme b, but lacks heme c. One additional iron atom, probably a ferric non-heme iron, was identified per enzyme molecule. Whereas reduced cytochrome c was ineffective as electron donor, NO was reduced at a specific activity of 2.3 μmol/min per mg of protein in the presence of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinol
Is Epistemic Trust of Veritistic Value?
No full textEpistemic trust figures prominently in our socio-cognitive practices. By assigning different
(relative) degrees of competence to agents, we distinguish between experts and novices and
determine the trustworthiness of testimony. This paper probes the claim that epistemic
trust furthers our epistemic enterprise. More specifically, it assesses the veritistic value of
competence attribution in an epistemic community, i.e., in a group of agents that collaboratively
seek to track down the truth. The results, obtained by simulating opinion dynamics,
tend to subvert the very idea that competence ascription is essential for the functioning of
epistemic collaboration and hence veritistically valuable. On the contrary, we find that, in
specific circumstances at least, epistemic trust may prevent a community from finding the
truth effectively
Enhancement of VECTOR method by adapting OCTAVE for risk analysis in legacy system migration
No full textRisk is involved in all phases of the software life cycle, and due to these risks, software can face various problems that can cause the different negative outcomes and sometimes in extreme cases failure of the software. Most of these risks lie in the migration of legacy software process. These risks can cause to create many problems, and in the worst case they can cause to failure of migration project. This project explores different types of risk analysis methods like CRAMM, CORAS, OCTAVE and VECTOR. After comparing of all these methods the author choose two suitable of these methods (OCTAVE and VECTOR). With using these two methods the project also suggests the enhanced EOV method for risk analysis in migration of legacy softwar
