Knowledge management is an emerging, evolving field at the confluence of several management disciplines. A critical function for all organizations is to make rapid decisions. To do this effectively decision makers require relevant data and information. Yet, most decision makers are floundering with information overload, time compression and pressures to make critical decisions that have far-reaching consequences to their organization. Knowledge-Based Enterprise: Theories and Fundamentals provides a comprehensive coverage of all areas (people, process, and technology) necessary to become a knowledge-based enterprise. The book presents several frameworks that not only facilitate the implementation of a KM initiative but its on-going management so that pertinent knowledge and information are always available to the decision maker, and that the organization may always enjoy a sustainable competitive advantage.

"POWERSHELL" is Microsoft's first recognition of the value of administrative scripting and automation, providing Windows administrators with a consistent, powerful way to automate Windows and other Microsoft server products (such as Exchange Server). In this groundbreaking book, scripting gurus Don Jones and Jeffery Hicks teach you PowerShell from the ground up: You'll learn about its underlying technologies, its flexible scripting language, all the built-in "cmdlets" included with the new shell, and you'll learn enough of the .NET Framework to be effecive in PowerShell scripting. This is your opportunity to stay on the leading edge of Microsoft Windows administrative scripting, from the world's most recognized and popular scripting authors.

Linux comes with an extraordinary collection of power tools for C and C++ developers. The Linux Programmer's Toolbox helps you leverage all that power and productivity–without mastering endless syntax options, tracking down hard-to-find documentation, or reading kernel source code. John Fusco systematically illuminates today's best open source tools, explaining which to choose, where to find them, how to use them, and why you'd want to. You'll start by walking through installing, patching, and managing software development tools on your Linux system. Next, you'll discover the right tools to solve real-world problems at every stage of your project, from coding to revision control, debugging to performance optimization. Fusco's concise, practical examples are designed for clarity–and easy modification to your needs.

This guide to Apache Batik—the Java library that can be used to read SVG files and translate the instructions in the files into graphics—shows how Batik can also be used to save the graphics as JPEG, TIFF, PNG, GIF, and other formats, so that the graphics can be transferred. Using Batik to create animation similar to Flash movies and its use for creating a drawing program such as Corel DRAW are also covered.

In Essential Windows Presentation Foundation, former WPF lead architect Chris Anderson systematically introduces this breakthrough platform, focusing on the concepts and techniques working developers need in order to build robust applications for real users.

Through working sample code, you'll discover how WPF draws on the Web's simple models for markup and deployment, common frame for applications, and rich server connectivity, and on Windows' rich client model, simple programming model, strong control over look-and-feel, and rich networking.

This book will enable readers to handle various EMC problems, to develop their own EMC computational models in applications in research and industry, and to better understand numerical methods developed and used by other researchers and engineers not only in EMC, but in other areas of engineering. For example, students and engineers can use the calculation methods for the radiation of base station antennas for planning the location of GSM and UMTS base stations and for the human exposure assessment based on material covered. The applied models can also be used to solve other research problems. This book will provide a crash course in fundamentals on electromagnetics and numerical modeling, and will cover a broad range of EMC problems of interest.

Avoiding the sensationalism and politicizing that often accompany books on terrorism, Byman examines terrorist groups from the PLO to Al Qaeda to the Tamil Tigers and explains relationships between states and terrorist organizations, providing a fertile discussion ground for how to proceed against both terrorism and the countries that manipulate terrorist organizations for their own purposes. States use terrorism as a multifaceted tool, often to retain political and economic influence, and their patronage includes sanctuary, supplies, logistics, or, as is the case with Iran and Hizbollah, ideological support.

As face lifts and tummy tucks become increasingly affordable to middle-class Americans, Blum argues, even those who have never considered the knife cannot escape cosmetic surgery's implications and its pervasive promotion by everyone from doctors to those who play them on TV.
