    Abstract: Financial market reform has focused chiefly on the threats to stability arising from the risky, uncontrolled activity of the leaders of financial institutions. Nevertheless, organized crime, white-collar crime, and corruption have a huge impact on financial systems worldwide and must also be confronted if true reform is to be achieved. A collection of articles written by experts in their fields of study, Financial Crimes: A Threat to Global Security spotlights the importance of addressing the problem of illegal financial activity as part of a greater comprehensive plan for reforming the financial sector. Drawn from the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Academic Council on the United Nations System (ACUNS) held in Vienna, the book explores the major themes discussed at this elite symposium. In the first section, the contributors examine changing concepts in security over the course of history and across nations. They discuss how an event in Austria led to the implementation of a new security philosophy that is now followed by the majority of the European Union. The book examines the diverse models of preventing security threats that have grown from that idea as well as the gradual expansion of the role of the security council of the United Nations. The next section analyzes the present state of security worldwide and examines the wide array of criminal activity that plagues the financial sector. Expert contributors reveal methods to identify certain types of behavior and criminals as well as efforts to combat illegal activity—including the role of the media. The final section investigates alternative approaches to preventing another worldwide financial disaster through investigative reporting, human factors analysis, legislative initiatives, and other methods. Filled with insight from international experts, the book highlights both the warning signs to illegal activity as well as the most effective methods for combating the invidious corruption that, if unchecked, puts all nations at risk. Maximilian Edelbacher will be appearing at three upcoming events: June 28, 2012: Roundtable in the House of the European Union in Vienna on the topic "Financial Crimes: A Threat to European Security?" October 8, 2012: Roundtable in Joannneum, Austria on the topic "Financial Crimes: A Threat to Global Security" October 9, 2012: Book presentation at the Hans Gross Museum in Graz, Austria

    Abstract: As "big data" becomes increasingly integrated into many aspects of our lives, we are hearing more calls for revolutionary changes in how researchers work. To save time in understanding the behavior of complex systems or in predicting outcomes, some analysts say it should now be possible to let the data "tell the story" rather than having to develop a hypothesis and go through painstaking steps to prove it. The success of companies such as Google Inc. and Facebook Inc., which have transformed the advertising and social media worlds by applying data mining and mathematics, has led many to believe that traditional methodologies based on models and theories may no longer be necessary. Among young professionals (and many MBA students), there is almost a blind faith that sophisticated algorithms can be used to explore huge databases and find interesting relationships independent of any theories or prior beliefs. The assumption is: The bigger the data, the more powerful the findings. As appealing as this viewpoint may be, authors Sen Chai and Willy Shih think it’s misguided — and potentially risky for businesses that involve scientific research or technological innovation. For example, the data might appear to support a new drug design or a new scientific approach when there isn’t actually a causal relationship. Although the authors acknowledge that data mining has enabled tremendous advances in business intelligence and in the understanding of consumer behavior — think of how Amazon.com Inc. figures out what you might want to buy, or how content recommendation engines such as those used by Netflix Inc. work — applying this approach to technical disciplines, they argue, is different. The authors studied several fields where massive amounts of data are available and collected: drug discovery and pharmaceutical research; genomics and species improvement; weather forecasting; the design of complex products like gas turbines; and speech recognition. In each setting, they asked a series of questions, including the following: How do data-driven research approaches fit with traditional research methods? In what ways could data-driven research extend the current understanding of scientific and engineering problems? And what cautions did managers need to exercise about the limitations and the proper use of statistical inference? Based on what they found, they developed some guidelines for using big data effectively: how to extract meaning from open-ended s...

    Abstract: Microservices are small, autonomous services that work together. Many organizations have found that by adopting fine-grained microservice architectures they can deliver software faster and embrace newer technologies. Microservices give us significantly more freedom to react and make different decisions, allowing us to respond faster to the inevitable change that impacts all of us. This lesson focuses on understanding microservices, the benefits they can bring, and their limitations. What you'll learn—and how you can apply it You'll learn what microservices are, understand their benefits, and explore how a microservice approach is different from other ways of decomposing your architecture. You'll also learn why microservices are not a silver bullet. This lesson is for you because… You're a manager of a technical team whose organization is adopting a microservices approach, and you need to learn more. You're a software architect, programmer, developer, or team leader who is interested in learning more about microservices. Readers who have already embarked on the journey toward finer-grained architectures, whether for a greenfield application or as part of decomposing an existing, more monolithic system, will find plenty of practical advice to help. It will also help those who want to know what all the fuss is about—they can determine whether microservices are right for them. Prerequisites Interest in the topic Materials or downloads needed in advance None This lesson is taken from Building Microservices by Sam Newman. About the instructor Sam Newman is a technologist at ThoughtWorks, where he currently splits his time between encouraging and sharing innovation globally and helping design and build their internal systems. He has worked with a variety of companies in multiple domains around the world, often with one foot in the developer world, and another in the IT operations space. If you asked him what he does, he'd say "I work with people to build better software systems." He has written articles, presented at conferences, and sporadically commits to open source projects.

    Abstract: The Internet of Things represents an enormous design challenge, as our expectations for physical-world objects are quite different than for digital-only devices. This lesson introduces how to approach UX for IoT, considerations for device interoperability, and opportunities and challenges for leveraging the data produced by those devices. Why is it important? IoT requires special design considerations, since the user experience is cross-platform and takes place across diverse physical contexts, with different devices. It’s no longer enough to think about screen-based interfaces; we have to consider the entire system of networked devices and data flows. What you’ll learn—and how you can apply it You'll learn how to reconsider the user experience (UX) in the context of IoT. Explore factors in device interoperability, and how they affect systems design and the end user. You'll learn about opportunities and challenges around the data produced by connected devices and their interactions. This lesson is for you because… You're a designer starting to work with networked devices You're a product designer or engineer interested in improving the user experience of your products Prerequisites Familiarity with basic principles of user experience design Materials or downloads needed in advance None

    Abstract: Evaluating the product and market fit of a solution is critical. Traditional financial accounting measures are not designed for evaluating innovation. Actionable metrics instead need to be applied to evaluate progress and success. Why is it important? Traditional measurement methodologies are skewed to products with a track record of costs and revenues. Innovative products by nature require investment and have little to no revenue and a limited operating history. Using actionable metrics allows you to better evaluate the future adoption and success of a product in your identified market. What you'll learn—and how you can apply it Learn about innovation accounting: methodologies for defining, experimenting, measuring, and communicating the true progress of innovation for new products, business models, or initiatives. Understand why not to scale, but instead to focus on significant customer interactions and passionate early adopters. Learn about the engines of growth, and identify what yours are. Learn how to transition between horizons to grow and transform your product. This lesson is for you because… You're a business leader that wants to understand how to develop actionable metrics for measuring products in the innovation stage You're a team manager responsible for creating, measuring, and evaluating leading indicators of success for products or initiatives being developed by your team Prerequisites None Materials or downloads needed in advance None This lesson is taken from Lean Enterprise by Jez Humble, Joanne Molesky, and Barry O'Reilly.

    Abstract: We think of web browsers as running on desktop or mobile devices, but browsers can also run on embedded hardware. This means we can use JavaScript and Node.js to control physical devices, such as for the Internet of Things. In this lesson, we'll set up a basic project structure, and then add some JavaScript and SVG for graphics. We'll then explore communicating with hardware through toggling state of digital inputs and outputs. Why is it important? Web browsers make excellent interfaces for hardware, because they come on every system, make serial communication convenient, and provide a screen, which many embedded systems often don't have on their own. Using the browser as the interface, JavaScript and Node.js provide communication between applications and hardware. What you'll learn—and how you can apply it Learn how to use web browsers as interfaces for embedded hardware and understand basic messaging between Node.js applications and hardware. This lesson is for you because… You already have some experience with hardware and software and are interested in getting the two to talk to each other You want to be able to build prototypes of physical devices, leveraging the power of JavaScript Prerequisites Prior experience with JavaScript, Node.js, and microcontrollers (such as Arduino) Materials or downloads needed in advance None This lesson is taken from Node.js for Embedded Systems by Patrick Mulder and Kelsey Breseman.

    Abstract: Clustering is the usual starting point for unsupervised machine learning. This lesson introduces the k-means and hierarchical clustering algorithms, implemented in Python code. Why is it important? Whenever you look at a data source, it's likely that the data will somehow form clusters. Datasets with higher dimensions become increasingly more difficult to "eyeball" based on human perception and intuition. These clustering algorithms allow you to discover similarities within data at scale, without first having to label a large training dataset. What you'll learn—and how you can apply it Understand how the k-means and hierarchical clustering algorithms work. Create classes in Python to implement these algorithms, and learn how to apply them in example applications. Identify clusters of similar inputs, and find a representative value for each cluster. Prepare to use your own implementations or reuse algorithms implemented in scikit-learn. This lesson is for you because… People interested in data science need to learn how to implement k-means and bottom-up hierarchical clustering algorithms Prerequisites Some experience writing code in Python Experience working with data in vector or matrix format Materials or downloads needed in advance Download this code , where you'll find this lesson's code in Chapter 19, plus you'll need the linear_algebra functions from Chapter 4. This lesson is taken from Data Science from Scratch by Joel Grus.

    Abstract: Apache Spark is an in-memory framework that allows data scientists to explore and interact with big data much more quickly than with Hadoop. Python users can work with Spark using an interactive shell called PySpark. Why is it important? PySpark makes the large-scale data processing capabilities of Apache Spark accessible to data scientists who are more familiar with Python than Scala or Java. This also allows for reuse of a wide variety of Python libraries for machine learning, data visualization, numerical analysis, etc. What you'll learn—and how you can apply it Compare the different components provided by Spark, and what use cases they fit. Learn how to use RDDs (resilient distributed datasets) with PySpark. Write Spark applications in Python and submit them to the cluster as Spark jobs. Get an introduction to the Spark computing framework. Apply this approach to a worked example to determine the most frequent airline delays in a specific month and year. This lesson is for you because… You're a data scientist, familiar with Python coding, who needs to get up and running with PySpark You're a Python developer who needs to leverage the distributed computing resources available on a Hadoop cluster, without learning Java or Scala first Prerequisites Familiarity with writing Python applications Some familiarity with bash command-line operations Basic understanding of how to use simple functional programming constructs in Python, such as closures, lambdas, maps, etc. Materials or downloads needed in advance Apache Spark This lesson is taken from Data Analytics with Hadoop by Jenny Kim and Benjamin Bengfort.

    Abstract: This ear training course covers the basics of pitch, rhythm & counting, scales, chords, chord progression and melody. Beginners will find it eases them into the deeper musicianship of knowing what they’re hearing. The more advanced will find it reinforces what they already can hear and will likely stretch their ears with some of the more complex chord progressions. The confidence gained is of great value to players, songwriters, audio engineers, DJ’s, composers and producers. Ideally this course will be used alongside the book - It’s Music, Not Theory, Damn It! - And when your friends ask you what, exactly, you’re training your ears to do, tell them: to fly.

    Abstract: Ansible is a great tool for handling deployment as well as configuration management, providing a lot more functionality than shell scripts. It doesn't require that one learn a new set of abstractions to hide the differences between operating systems. That makes its surface area smaller; there's less you need to know before you get started. Why is it important? We're all slowly turning into system engineers. Using a single tool for both configuration management and deployment makes life simpler for the folks responsible for operations. Project goals include a consistent, secure, highly reliable tool that's minimal in nature and has a low learning curve. What you'll learn—and how you can apply it Covers the basic concepts of Ansible at a high level, including how it communicates with remote servers and how it differs from other configuration-management tools. You'll learn how to use the Ansible command-line tool to perform simple tasks on a single host This lesson is for you because… You're a developer deploying your code to production You're a systems administrator looking for a better way to automate You need a quick introduction to leveraging an idempotent resource model for immutable infrastructure Prerequisites Be familiar with at least one Linux distribution (e.g., Ubuntu, RHEL/CentOS, SUSE) Be familiar with basic Linux system administration tasks, e.g., know how to: Connect to a remote machine using SSH Interact with the bash command-line shell (pipes and redirection) Install packages Use the sudo command Check and set file permissions Start and stop services Set environment variables Write scripts (any language) Learn some YAML and Jinja2 Materials or downloads needed in advance Have a Linux server with which to practice This Lesson is taken from Ansible: Up and Running by Lorin Hochstein.

    Abstract: Production-targeted Spark guidance with real-world use cases Spark: Big Data Cluster Computing in Production goes beyond general Spark overviews to provide targeted guidance toward using lightning-fast big-data clustering in production. Written by an expert team well-known in the big data community, this book walks you through the challenges in moving from proof-of-concept or demo Spark applications to live Spark in production. Real use cases provide deep insight into common problems, limitations, challenges, and opportunities, while expert tips and tricks help you get the most out of Spark performance. Coverage includes Spark SQL, Tachyon, Kerberos, ML Lib, YARN, and Mesos, with clear, actionable guidance on resource scheduling, db connectors, streaming, security, and much more. Spark has become the tool of choice for many Big Data problems, with more active contributors than any other Apache Software project. General introductory books abound, but this book is the first to provide deep insight and real-world advice on using Spark in production. Specific guidance, expert tips, and invaluable foresight make this guide an incredibly useful resource for real production settings. Review Spark hardware requirements and estimate cluster size Gain insight from real-world production use cases Tighten security, schedule resources, and fine-tune performance Overcome common problems encountered using Spark in production Spark works with other big data tools including MapReduce and Hadoop, and uses languages you already know like Java, Scala, Python, and R. Lightning speed makes Spark too good to pass up, but understanding limitations and challenges in advance goes a long way toward easing actual production implementation. Spark: Big Data Cluster Computing in Production tells you everything you need to know, with real-world production insight and expert guidance, tips, and tricks.

    Abstract: There are several platforms designed to help automate the tasks of running containers in Linux clusters. Learn to compare and contrast among a range of choices for orchestrating, clustering, and managing containers. Why is it important? This material collects the essential commands required to get started with a wide range of container-management platforms. The advantages and disadvantages of these are not immediately apparent, until you begin to compare their features in practice. What you'll learn—and how you can apply it Includes hands-on examples for beginning to work with Swarm, Fleet, Kubernetes, Mesos, Marathon, Tutum, Brooklyn, Rancher, and Clocker (for containers based on Docker and CoreOS). Learn how to differentiate among the several available platforms for orchestrating, clustering, and managing containers. This training/tutorial is for you because… You're a systems administrator who needs to learn how to orchestrate, cluster, and manage containers You want to learn which container platforms compose together, and which combinations fit best for particular use cases Prerequisites Be familiar with at least one Linux distribution (e.g., Ubuntu, RHEL/CentOS, SUSE) Be familiar with basic Linux system administration tasks Be familiar with using Vagrant Understand the differences between a VM and a container Materials or downloads needed in advance A computer running a 64-bit Linux distribution, or Docker running inside a VM Have Vagrant installed This lesson is taken from Using Docker by Adrian Mouat.

    Abstract: A comprehensive introduction to today's M&A strategies Make the Deal is a direct and accessible guide to striking a powerful M&A deal. Merging business, finance, and law, this insightful examination of M&A strategy is designed to help you understand M&A negotiations and the ways in which the final outcome affects your financial future. A general overview of an acquisition agreement framework segues into a more detailed discussion of different deal structures, including stock sales, mergers, asset sales, and complex structures, giving you the information you need to know when each one applies best in practice. You'll gain insight into real-world negotiations and the delicate balancing act that occurs as each party attempts to maximize value and minimize risk, and learn the potential pitfalls that can occur. Negotiation statistics and samples from actual contracts back the war stories throughout, and reinforce the idea that there's no single perfect solution. As a topic of study, M&A is constantly evolving; in practice, it changes at the speed of light. Staying ahead of the market is the single most critical element of making the best deal, and the strategy that worked for one deal most likely won't work for the next. Instead of simply providing a list of strategies that have worked in the past, this book shows you why they worked, so you can tailor your strategy specifically to your next deal. Learn how M&A contract terms affect economic outcomes Examine the techniques and mechanics of today's acquisition agreements Develop a legal framework that supports your business strategy Follow the ups and downs that arise in real-world cases A successful M&A transaction requires both attention to detail and a big picture view, combined with skill, intellect, and ingenuity. Make the Deal brings it all together to show you how to run the table and come away with a win.

    Abstract: Explores the Impact of the Analysis of Algorithms on Many Areas within and beyond Computer Science A flexible, interactive teaching format enhanced by a large selection of examples and exercises Developed from the author’s own graduate-level course, Methods in Algorithmic Analysis presents numerous theories, techniques, and methods used for analyzing algorithms. It exposes students to mathematical techniques and methods that are practical and relevant to theoretical aspects of computer science. After introducing basic mathematical and combinatorial methods, the text focuses on various aspects of probability, including finite sets, random variables, distributions, Bayes’ theorem, and Chebyshev inequality. It explores the role of recurrences in computer science, numerical analysis, engineering, and discrete mathematics applications. The author then describes the powerful tool of generating functions, which is demonstrated in enumeration problems, such as probabilistic algorithms, compositions and partitions of integers, and shuffling. He also discusses the symbolic method, the principle of inclusion and exclusion, and its applications. The book goes on to show how strings can be manipulated and counted, how the finite state machine and Markov chains can help solve probabilistic and combinatorial problems, how to derive asymptotic results, and how convergence and singularities play leading roles in deducing asymptotic information from generating functions. The final chapter presents the definitions and properties of the mathematical infrastructure needed to accommodate generating functions. Accompanied by more than 1,000 examples and exercises, this comprehensive, classroom-tested text develops students’ understanding of the mathematical methodology behind the analysis of algorithms. It emphasizes the important relation between continuous (classical) mathematics and discrete mathematics, which is the basis of computer science.

    Abstract: In this updated, second edition of the authoritative, bestselling Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography , photographer NK Guy brings the book fully up to date, with coverage of all the newest Canon gear that has hit the market since the first edition published in 2010. This includes coverage of the radio-enabled Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT and Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT, as well as the other Speedlites that have released since the first edition’s publication: Canon Speedlite 90EX, 270EX II, 320EX, and 600EX. Digital cameras and flash technology have truly revolutionized photography in the 21st century. Originally seen simply as a practical way to illuminate dark scenes with portable light, flash today is used for a host of creative and nuanced applications, including supplementing daylight, designing complex scenes lit by multiple light sources, and simply creating beautiful, controllable light for portraiture. With LCD screens on DSLRs, the ability to get instant feedback on lighting setups is a great help in advancing one’s lighting capabilities and encouraging experimentation. However, flash photography can still be a difficult artistic and technical challenge. It’s simple to get that harsh deer-in-the-headlights look from built-in automatic flash, but it is a far cry from beautiful light. Creating natural-looking images is not nearly as straightforward. Mastering the properties of light and the ability to manipulate, craft, and direct it is a lifelong endeavor. Those diving into Speedlights need some help. Manuals are terse and the terminology is confusing—this is where Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography comes in. This is the complete book on the subject, guiding you through Canon’s Speedlite system, from off-camera portable flash to professional studio lighting. It covers the fundamentals of flash metering technology, discusses key lighting concepts, and documents a wide range of Canon and third-party equipment. Universal flash accessories, studio gear, and radio triggers are all thoroughly covered. The book is lavishly illustrated with diagrams that demonstrate important functions and lighting arrangements, and inspiring photos that show sophisticated flash techniques. Though tailored for users of Canon EOS cameras, owners of other camera systems will find much valuable information as well. So, whether you’re just getting started with flash, or you’ve picked up the bug for off-camera lighting from such popular websites as Strob...

    Abstract: Introduction to Mathematical Oncology presents biologically well-motivated and mathematically tractable models that facilitate both a deep understanding of cancer biology and better cancer treatment designs. It covers the medical and biological background of the diseases, modeling issues, and existing methods and their limitations. The authors introduce mathematical and programming tools, along with analytical and numerical studies of the models. They also develop new mathematical tools and look to future improvements on dynamical models. After introducing the general theory of medicine and exploring how mathematics can be essential in its understanding, the text describes well-known, practical, and insightful mathematical models of avascular tumor growth and mathematically tractable treatment models based on ordinary differential equations. It continues the topic of avascular tumor growth in the context of partial differential equation models by incorporating the spatial structure and physiological structure, such as cell size. The book then focuses on the recent active multi-scale modeling efforts on prostate cancer growth and treatment dynamics. It also examines more mechanistically formulated models, including cell quota-based population growth models, with applications to real tumors and validation using clinical data. The remainder of the text presents abundant additional historical, biological, and medical background materials for advanced and specific treatment modeling efforts. Extensively classroom-tested in undergraduate and graduate courses, this self-contained book allows instructors to emphasize specific topics relevant to clinical cancer biology and treatment. It can be used in a variety of ways, including a single-semester undergraduate course, a more ambitious graduate course, or a full-year sequence on mathematical oncology.

    Abstract: For large global companies, forging effective partnerships with high-potential startups is easier said than done. The very traits that make such startups potentially complementary as partners also make it difficult for large companies to engage with them in the first place. Multinational corporations often struggle even to identify promising potential startup partners; startups, for their part, find it difficult to identify and reach the relevant decision makers within the often-confusing hierarchies of gigantic multinational companies. The challenge, for both sides, is all the more vexing in emerging markets. Furthermore, most academic studies of the challenges that large companies and entrepreneurial ventures face in partnering — and the solutions the studies suggest — focus on mature markets, such as the United States and Europe. Far less is known about how multinational corporations should engage with startups in emerging markets such as China and India. To understand how multinational companies have partnered successfully with startups in emerging markets, the authors undertook a study in three major emerging market economies: India, China, and South Africa. Their research uncovered four key factors, and they suggest a strategy for addressing each factor. The first key factor, the authors say, is the immaturity of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Specifically, most emerging markets are afflicted by constraints and "voids" in their institutions. The authors recommend that multinational companies address this factor through programs that compensate for the immaturity of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and they provide examples such as an IBM Corp. program that provides training, mentoring, and events for startups in China. The second key factor is the increasing appetite for entrepreneurship in some emerging markets. Multinational companies can respond to that by committing resources to initiatives such as training to accelerate the growth of startups — something Microsoft Corp. has done in India. The third factor is that Western multinational companies are constrained by their status as outsiders in emerging markets — a factor the authors suggest global companies address by working with local groups. Fourth, the authors note, startups in emerging markets offer global companies access to innovative technologies.
