Introduction to Insurance Mathematics

Actuarial Science is a discipline with a fascinating blend of traditional approaches, developed over many decades of experience, and modern techniques which are available thanks to the fast development of statistical, computational, and mathematical tools, new insights into dependence modeling, analysis of big data, financial engineering, risk management, and insurance economics. At the same ti…

LEAN Supply Chain Planning

Today, many global supply chains in process industries are neither equipped nor orchestrated to cope effectively with the new VUCA world we are facing. VUCA—volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity—is an acronym that originated in the military back in the late 1990s and was quickly adapted to the business environment. It describes precisely the conditions of increasing variability…

GHG Emissions and Economic Growth

We decided to get this book published to help the larger audience make sense of the discussion on climate change and its implications for economic growth in In- dia. Issues linking climate change and economic growth are now at the centre of discussions regarding climate friendly development strategies which are increas- ingly becoming a necessity rather than an option for late-industrialising c…

Dissent on Core Beliefs

Difference, diversity, and disagreement are inevitable features of our ethical, social, and political landscape. Although difference of opinion is not a modern phenomenon, the modern world is particularly concerned with the ethical navigation of difference. What is the range of appropriate responses to deep disagreement? How should we interact with those with whom we do not see eye to eye? When…

HIGH-IMPACT HUMAN CAPITAL STRATEGY

This new book focuses directly on how to develop a human capital (HC) strategy in today’s turbulent and changing environment . Too often, HC strategy encompasses a classic and traditional approach to human resources (HR): recruit- ing the best people, preparing them for assignments, motivating them for high performance, and retaining them for several years . While this is all necessary, it is…

IndustrIal SecurIty

This course was developed out of a training outline and the course Col. Arlow and I taught together in Manama, Bahrain. Pieter’s background is South African Defense Force, and he was responsible for the security of the World Cup in 2011. Dave’s background is civilian, industrial chemical, and environmental consulting. Together, we believe that this book will provide a different and practica…

International Law for Energy and the Environment

The first edition of this book, Energy Law and the Environment, was published in 2002 and was the first one in the field that considered the legal environmental imperatives for the energy sector. The first edition was written to be accessible to both lawyers and non-lawyers alike and the same theme continues in this, the second edition. However, the interest and concerns of policymakers, multin…

Developing a Security Plan

Data is the most important resource that any business owns. It’s literally possible to replace any part of a business except the data. When the data is modified, corrupted, stolen, or deleted, a business can suffer serious loss. In fact, a business that has enough go wrong with its data can simply cease to exist. The focus of security, therefore, is not hackers, applications, networks, or any…

Spring Security 3.1

Security is arguably one of the most critical architectural components of any web-based application written in the 21st century. In an era where malware, criminals, and rogue employees are always present and actively testing software for exploits, smart and comprehensive use of security is a key element to any project for which you'll be responsible. This book is written to follow a pattern o…

Web Security Testing Cookbook

Many of us test web applications on either a daily or regular basis. We may be following a script of interactions (“click here, type XYZ, click Submit, check for OK message…”) or we might be writing frameworks that invoke batteries of automated tests against our web applications. Most of us are somewhere in between. Regardless of how we test, we need to get security testing into what we�…

Introduction to Credit Risk Modeling

The first edition of this book appeared eight years ago. Since then the banking industry experienced a lot of change and challenges. The most recent financial crisis which started around May 2007 and lasted in its core period until early 2009 gave rise to a lot of scepticism about whether credit risk models are appropriate to capture the true nature of risks inherent in credit portfolios in gen…

Zabbix 1.8 Network Monitoring

It's Friday night, and you are at a party outside the city with old friends. After a few beers it looks like this is going to be a great party, when suddenly your phone rings. A customer can't access some critical server that absolutely has to be available as soon as possible. You try to ssh in the server, only to discover that customer is right—it can't be accessed. As driving after those fe…

A Practical Guide to Managing Information Security

The principles underlying modern approaches to securing information and systems that process information are well documented and well understood by practitioners. Modern techniques and technologies for implementing these principles are also well documented, and it is hard to find an area of information security that has not been the subject of a book or at least an article. However, most of the…

Q-Squared

I am deeply grateful to Ravi Kanbur, who initiated the Q-Squared initiative, and invited me to join on. The momentum in favour of mixed method analysis of poverty over the past decade has been highly influenced by Ravi’s efforts. In the absence of such, this book would not exist. I am also extremely appreciative of the support provided by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC),…

Spectral Analysis on Graph-Like Spaces

In this monograph, we analyse thin tubular structures, so-called “graph-like spaces”, and their natural limits, when the radius of a graph-like space tends to zero. The limit space is typically a metric graph, i.e. a graph, where each edge is associated a length, and therefore, the space turns into a one-dimensional manifold with singularities at the vertices. On both, the graph-like spaces…

Managing TRUST in Cyberspace

Traditional security mechanisms restrict access to authorized users only, in order to protect resources from malicious users. However, in many con- texts, we must protect ourselves from those who offer resources, so that the problem is in fact reversed. This improper usage cannot be addressed by traditional security mechanisms, and the issues relate more to trustworthiness than security. Trus…
