Making IT Work

A History of the Computer Services Industry

By: Jeffrey R. Yost

The evolution of the multi-billion-dollar computer services industry, from consulting and programming to data analytics and cloud computing, with case studies of important companies. The computer services industry has worldwide annual revenues of nearly a trillion dollars and employs millions of workers, but is often overshadowed by the hardware and software products industries. In this book, Jeffrey Yost shows how computer services, from consulting and programming to data analytics and cloud computing, have played a crucial role in shaping information technology—in making IT work. Tracing the evolution of the computer services industry from the 1950s to the present, Yost provides case studies of important companies (including IBM, Hewlett Packard, Andersen/Accenture, EDS, Infosys, and others) and profiles of such influential leaders as John Diebold, Ross Perot, and Virginia Rometty. He offers a fundamental reinterpretation of IBM as a supplier of computer services rather than just a producer of hardware, exploring how IBM bundled services with hardware for many years before becoming service-centered in the 1990s. Yost describes the emergence of companies that offered consulting services, data processing, programming, and systems integration. He examines the development of industry-defining trade associations; facilities management and the firm that invented it, Ross Perot's EDS; time sharing, a precursor of the cloud; IBM's early computer services; and independent contractor brokerages. Finally, he explores developments since the 1980s: the transformations of IBM and Hewlett Packard; the offshoring of enterprises and labor; major Indian IT service providers and the changing geographical deployment of U.S.-based companies; and the paradigm-changing phenomenon of cloud service.

Understanding Nursing Research

Building an Evidence-Based Practice

By: Susan K. Grove,Jennifer R. Gray, PhD, RN, FAAN,Nancy Burns

As the bestselling nursing research text, Understanding Nursing Research: Building an Evidence-Based Practice, 6th Edition offers unique insights into understanding, appraising, and applying published research to evidence-based practice. It is known for its authoritative content, time-tested systematic approach, and unique research example format — newly redesigned for the sixth edition to better demonstrate how the steps of the research process relate to evidence-based nursing. "This would be excellent for student nurses, nurses new to research or any nurse with an interest in research." Reviewed by: Helen Reeves, St Giles Walsall Hospice on behalf of Nursing Times, December 2015 Authoritative content is written by two of the true pioneers in nursing research, who offer unique, first-hand insights into the field. Research examples provide practice in working with published studies, with many of the examples including Critical Appraisal and Implications for Practice sections. Clear, step-by-step organization introduces the research process and demonstrates how this systematic framework relates to evidence-based practice. Strong emphasis on evidence-based practice helps you develop skills in studying and appraising published research, so you are prepared for your role in working with research evidence. Critical Appraisal Guidelines boxes provide step-by-step guidance in appraising published research studies. Emphasis on critical appraisal versus critique reflects contemporary usage in nursing research and evidence-based practice. Balanced coverage of qualitative research prepares you to approach research questions and clinical questions with an unbiased view of the researcher's methodology. Presentation of two different appraisal processes covers both the traditional in-depth critical appraisal process that prepares you for graduate-level work in research, and the concise, practice-focused research appraisal process that equips you for quick and accurate evaluation of the applicability of research findings to clinical practice. NEW! Redesigned research example format includes research examples have been thoroughly redesigned with a clear hierarchy of subcategories. NEW!

CRC Handbook of Viruses Infecting Legumes

By: John R. Edwardson

This interesting handbook discusses 145 plant viruses in 27 groups and 31 unclassified viruses in naturally infected legumes. The viruses were observed in field infections of 281 species in 64 genera of the Leguminosae. The book presents information regarding resistance sources and resistance-breeding, vectors, seed transmission, and host ranges. Measurements of virus properties are organized in tabular form for particle dimensions, serological relationships, nucleic acid percentages, sedimentation coefficients of particles and nucleic acids, molecular weights of nucleic acids and coat proteins, optical density, and buoyant density. Handbook of Viruses Infecting Legumes is unique in that it relates inclusion cytology to plant virus detection, identification, and classification. Light and electron micrographs illustrate morphology, location, and staining reactions of inclusions. Of the 27 groups that contain viruses infecting legumes in nature, inclusions are diagnostic at the group level in 15 of these groups. Plant breeders, diagnosticians, plant virologists, and students of plant virology will find this an indispensable guide to legume viruses.

The Genus Macroteleia Westwood (Hymenoptera, Platygastridae S.l., Scelioninae) from China

By: Hua-yan Chen,Norman F. Johnson,Lubom?r Masner,Zai-fu Xu

Macroteleia Westwood, 1835 (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae s. l.) is a cosmopolitan genus in the subfamily Scelioninae, comprising about 131 described species worldwide. Although Macroteleia are found on every continent except Antarctica, they are centred in the tropics and subtropics. In the past century since Kieffer?s comprehensive study of this genus, several regional revisions have done for the New World, Australia, Vietnam and the Palearctic region. In Asia, Macroteleia has been recorded from the Philippines, Borneo, Mongolia, India, Vietnam, Japan, Israel, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and China, but no species have been formally recorded from China. This monograph includes identification of seven new species and ten Chinese new record, and establishment of one new stat and five new synonyms. Key, descriptions and illustrations of all Chinese species are provided. The results of this monograph clarify some taxonomic confusion, richen the geographical distributions of Macroteleia in China, and provide facilities for further research of Macroteleia from China and Vietnam.

Evolutionary Biology of Land Isopods

Evolutionary Biology of Land Isopods

By: Michael R. Warburg

Already as a young boy, I used to walk with my late father, an ardent naturalist at heart, though to his regret not by profession, in the fields and woods on Mt. Carmel where we lived. My father, being largely an amateur ornithologist but also loving other vertebrates, was less inter ested in the little creatures(-the invertebrates) so abundant under stones. These were, more often then not, isopods which are particularly abundant in the Mediterranean region of northern Israel, and therefore not difficult to encounter (Fig. 1). Thus, my interest in the terrestrial isopods started at an early stage. Many years later, after graduating from the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, I worked as an assistant to my late friend and colleague, Professor Michael Costa, at the Teachers Seminary in Oranim. One day I found on my desk a copy of Edney's (1954) paper: Woodlice and the land habitat, which my friend left for me knowing of my interest in this group. Therefore, due to the stimulus of Edney's paper, and the many interesting questions it raised in my mind, I developed a lifelong interest in this amazing crustacean group. My research in the ecophysiology of this group followed to a large extent the directions formulated by Edney and Cloudsley-Thompson whose name will be mentioned throughout this book. I am also indebted to the many stimulating discussions with my friends and colleagues C. S. Crawford, K. E. Linsenmair, and E.

Water is considered as the most widely distributed natural resource on the surface. It is available to us in the form of oceans, rivers, lakes, syringes and streams, called surface, available water. Another important source which is not easily available but important is water occurring under the surface of the earth i.e. Groundwater. It serves as a reservoir due to large pore spaces in earth material, and translates the water over a long distance. During the translate it solublizes number of salts and minerals of the most rocks and regions and gain a tertian taste as well becomes potable. In most of the rural areas bore wells and wells are the seasonally source of potable water supplies. However in many parts of our state the available groundwater is not suitable for drinking as well as other purposes as irrigation etc due to industrialization in urban as well as rural area.

War Accelerated Liberalization

By: R. Jonnavittula

Wars were destructive but they were responsible for the industrial revolution, computers and faster comfortable means of travel. Without war would it have been possible to harvest nuclear energy through fission or fusion so soon after Niels Bohr’s theory of Hydrogen atom was published? This novel deals with the changes in traditions and lifestyles of a conservative society of an Indian town bordering Pakistan. This was done in this novel by focusing on the lives of students Mita, Sailaja, Jahnavi, Tridev, Lokesh and Niranjan and residents Vedavyas, Ashutosh, Sajjanlal and others of Devipur. All kinds of differences come up for close scrutiny at the time of marriage. Because of regional agitations for a separate statehood for their region, the misdeeds of the vice-chancellor and the autocratic ways of the principal, the National Engineering College degenerated into disrepute. The college was restored to the path of progress by the determined efforts of Professor Goraknadh who staked his life in that process. Vedavyas arranged for a customary pre-marital visit of the bride groom Mukhesh and his father Ambareesh to Goraknadh’s house for a meeting with his daughter and bride, Jahnavi. The groom misbehaved and left abruptly; Vedavyas learnt that the groom heard rumors that she was in love with a Harijan named Lokesh. Actually his allegation put ideas into her head and she began loving him. Vedavyas approached some others but could not settle any alliance vedavyas went to look at the progress of the Construction work of his house. During excavations for the foundation a Shiv Ling surfaced; a temporary shelter was constructed for it immediately which served as a Shiv temple; it accentuated religious fervor. Sailaja and Niranjan loved each other. His father Ashutosh was running a nursing home exclusively for Brahmins; her father Vinayak came from an adjacent state and was more conservative. Lovers knew that they can’t obtain the consent of at least one family, for their marriage. Vinayak arranged Sailaja’s marriage with Tripurantak and she invited all her friends for the wedding, which was unusual. War suddenly erupted between Pakistan and India, one day before Sailaja’s marriage. Because there was no discrimination based on caste or religion in the army, Lokesh wanted to join the services after graduation; he told his friends that he decided to join the army the very next day and did so. Tridev convinced his parents and joined the next day. Niranjan returned to his college, joined the army and then informed his parents. All the three were sent to the forward areas. Devipur and the neighborhood suffered the consequences of war. Omkar completed medicine and joined his father. Several changes began to occur. Ashutosh employed Bharatram, a Harijan in his nursing home; Jahnavi joined as a nurse. The nursing home was thrown open to all. Mita had an unusual disappointment in marriage. Bharatram helped to get Omkar and Lucy married. Later in the novel, many more marriages took place disregarding the traditional norms. Temple for Shivji was completed. The war ended as suddenly as it began. Lokesh and Tridev returned soon after the war and related how they were wounded and how a Muslim Lady doctor treated them and returned them to the Indian Army Camp. In 1947 when their family was migrating to Pakistan, an orthodox Brahmin protected them, gave them shelter and treated them as honored guests for three days; that gesture changed their lives and they began helping people in need, irrespective of their religion or nationality. Niranjan was to return under the exchange of prisoners of war but was replaced by someone else. A Muslim school teacher saved Niranjan, nursed him to health and married him. Later, he wrote a cryptic letter to Ashutosh indicating how they can be retrieved and brought to Devipur. Ashutosh’s wife Sarvani deciphered the letter and they succeed in bringing the couple to Devipur. ---

Wetland Phytodiversity: A Complete Guide to Indian Helobieae

By: R. Guha,M.S. Mondal

Aquatic ecosystem and aquatic plant diversity holds a key position in maintaining the floristic diversity of India - one of the 12 megabiodiversity centres of the world. It provides the material basis for the sustenance of thousands of floral and faunal aquatic life forms. This book ``Wetland Phytodiversity : A Complete Guide to Indian Helobieae'' deals with 75 plant species belonging to the aquatic families of angiosperms under the group Helobieae. Distribution of the taxa, their life forms, floral as well as pollination biology, phenology, chromosome numbers, etc. have been dealt with proper care towards better understanding of the affinities, intra - and interfamilial relationships of the taxa. Chapters on phytogeography, pollen morphology, fossil records etc. will be very much helpful for future workers in tracing origin and segregation of this important aquatic group of angiosperms. Apart from the text 20 maps/figures, 66 illustrations, 24 plates have been provided in the book.

You Are Not Alone...!

By: Ananda Mohan.R

Kate is seemingly born with bad luck. Her sibling dies at a young age, and her parents are bankrupt. They end up getting divorced when Kate is four. With both parents unable financially and emotionally to support her, Kate ends up missing in the Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Soon after, she meets Max in a bakery. Max finds Kate just as he wins the New York lottery. He moves Kate to Los Angeles, where she meets Julia. Julia becomes the mother Kate never had, but she still sometimes thinks of her parents in New York. Kate’s once unfortunate life becomes one of adventure when she meets Jason at the Taj Mahal in India. When Julia dies, though, Kate feels the pullback to New York, where she now seeks her birth parents and some kind of reconciliation.

Ethics for Social Impact

Ethical Decision-Making in Nonprofit Organizations

By: Femida Handy,Allison R. Russell

This book outlines the various elements involved in ethical decision-making for nonprofit leaders, and whose rights to prioritize when facing complex situations. Nonprofit board members and employees are often placed in difficult situations, with no single stakeholder and an allegiance to mission statements whose outcomes can be difficult to measure. While nonprofit charitable organizations are generally considered more trustworthy than their counterparts in the public or for-profit sector, when scandals and wrongdoings are uncovered, they must be dealt with in ethical ways. Through a case study approach, this book delivers clear ethical decision-making frameworks and promotes robust reflection on how to arrive at different decision points and throw light on elements that are often ignored or assumed. Ultimately, it offers students, researchers, and managers a practical approach to the ambiguous question, what is the ethical way?

Killing for Religion

An Analysis of Conflict in Asia

By: Stephen R. Schwalbe

The book will inform Westerners about how the three primary Asian religions facilitate violence and conflict. Each of the three Asian religions selected, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Shinto, is defined and compared with the others and with the three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). Next these Asian religions are analyzed to see how each allows for violence and conflict. Then the nature of religious conflict within them is compared to the nature of religious conflict within two of the Abrahamic religions (Christianity and Islam). Religious-facilitated conflicts in Asia have already occurred for many centuries, are occurring today, and likely will continue to occur. Although Asian religions may profess to be peaceful, they still end up facilitating violence and conflict. It is important to enlighten both the American members of the armed forces currently stationed in the Asia-Pacific region (numbering over one hundred thousand) as well as American taxpayers, whose taxes pay for this security regarding the religious aspect of conflict in Asia.

The Ends of Kinship

The Ends of Kinship

Connecting Himalayan Lives between Nepal and New York

By: Sienna R. Craig

For centuries, people from Mustang, Nepal, have relied on agriculture, pastoralism, and trade as a way of life. Seasonal migrations to South Asian cities for trade as well as temporary wage labor abroad have shaped their experiences for decades. Yet, more recently, permanent migrations to New York City, where many have settled, are reshaping lives and social worlds. Mustang has experienced one of the highest rates of depopulation in contemporary Nepal—a profoundly visible depopulation that contrasts with the relative invisibility of Himalayan migrants in New York. Drawing on more than two decades of fieldwork with people in and from Mustang, this book combines narrative ethnography and short fiction to engage with foundational questions in cultural anthropology: How do different generations abide with and understand each other? How are traditions defended and transformed in the context of new mobilities? Anthropologist Sienna Craig draws on khora, the Tibetan Buddhist notion of cyclic existence as well as the daily act of circumambulating the sacred, to think about cycles of movement and patterns of world-making, shedding light on how kinship remains both firm and flexible in the face of migration. From a high Himalayan kingdom to the streets of Brooklyn and Queens, The Ends of Kinship explores dynamics of migration and social change, asking how individuals, families, and communities care for each other and carve out spaces of belonging. It also speaks broadly to issues of immigration and diaspora; belonging and identity; and the nexus of environmental, economic, and cultural transformation.
