Volume 16 Reviews In Computational Chemistry Kenny B. Lipkowitz and Donald B. Boyd The focus of this book is on methods useful in molecular design. Tutorials and reviews span (1) methods for designing compound libraries for combinatorial chemistry and high throughput screening, (2) the workings of artificial neural networks and their use in chemistry, (3) force field methods for modeling materials and designing new substances, and (4) free energy perturbation methods of practical usefulness in ligand design. From Reviews of the Series "This series spans all the subdisciplines in the field, from techniques to practical applications, and includes reviews from many of the acknowledged leaders in the field. the reviews cross many subdisciplines yet are both general enough to be of wide interest while including detailed information of use to workers in particular subdisciplines." -Journal of the American Chemical Society
Professionals in child welfare and protection are often required to make decisions--fraught with many difficulties and shortcomings--that have crucial implications for children and families. There are many indications that these decisions are frequently unreliable and involve unavoidable errors in judgement due to the uncertainties. This book applies much-needed insights gleaned from the fields of business and behavioral economics to child welfare practice, bridging a critical gap in the child welfare and protection research agenda.
During World War I, Britain's naval supremacy enabled it to impose economic blockades and interdiction of American neutral shipping. The United States responded by building 'a navy second to none', one so powerful that Great Britain could not again successfully challenge America's vital economic interests. This book reveals that when the United States offered to substitute naval equality for its emerging naval supremacy, the British, nonetheless, used the resulting two major international arms-control conferences of the 1920s to ensure its continued naval dominance.
Leaders and supervisors do not grow on trees; they must be developed. 'Developing Supervisors and Team Leaders' is a practical, how-to guide for creating leaders and supervisors. Spanning topics from determining needs to evaluating performance, it covers all aspects of how to develop the skills, insights, and attitude to lead others. Kirkpatrick demonstrates how to get others to share the same focus, purpose, and efforts toward improving an organization's quality of product or service. From determining needs, planning programs and training to the final evaluation, this book provides knowledge and practical tools for developing successful leaders. Donald Kirkpatrick, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of the University of Wisconsin, is the author of numerous books and articles on the subject of management and performance.
