    Decisions without heirarchy : feminist interventions in organization theory and practice (1992)
    New York, N.Y. : Routledge
    Details
    ISBN: 9781136640445 , 1136640444
    Language: English
    Pages: 1 online resource (1 v.) , ill.
    Keywords: Organizational sociology ; Feminist theory ; Decision making ; United States ; Electronic books ; local ; Electronic books
    Abstract: Decisions Without Hierarchy is based on a two-year examination of three feminist organizations: a peace group, health collective, and business women's group. From these case studies, Iannello constructs a model of organizations that, while structured, is nevertheless non-hierarchical. She terms this organization from the "modified consensus model." Her case studies show that modified consensus does not give way to pressures toward formal hierarchy and that, therefore, the model merits the attention of feminists and organization theorists alike.

This book, which offers papers based on many of the best Creativity Week presentations, is thus a record of recent thinking, both practical and theoretical, on how organizational effectiveness can be improved.

    Abstract: Nanoscale materials are showing great promise in various electronic, optoelectronic, and energy applications. Silicon (Si) has especially captured great attention as the leading material for microelectronic and nanoscale device applications. Recently, various silicides have garnered special attention for their pivotal role in Si device engineering and for the vast potential they possess in fields such as thermoelectricity and magnetism. The fundamental understanding of Si and silicide material processes at nanoscale plays a key role in achieving device structures and performance that meet real-world requirements and, therefore, demands investigation and exploration of nanoscale device applications. This book comprises the theoretical and experimental analysis of various properties of silicon nanocrystals, research methods and techniques to prepare them, and some of their promising applications.

Once the author's "Command and Control" techniques are learned, they can be used again and again in all areas of life. Readers will learn how to: * destroy counterproductive, stress-producing habits * adopt new, effective habits * become mentally tough, emotionally in control * communicate in a positive way How to Stay Cool Calm & Collected When the Pressure's On provides checklists, quotes from stress conquerors, and an outline for a personal effectiveness plan. By carefully adhering to the book's principles, anyone can erase the ravages of stress and move on to a more productive, I-can-handle-any-problem attitude. Without the energy-wasting effort of worrying, readers can concentrate on the important things: achieving success and enjoying their lives.

    X Window system administrator's guide : for X version 11 (1992)

    Series Statement: The definitive guides to the X Window System volume 8
    Keywords: X Window System (Computer system) ; Electronic books ; Electronic books ; local
    Abstract: As X moves out of the hacker's domain and into the "real world," users can't be expected to master all the ins and outs of setting up and administering their own X software. That will increasingly become the domain of system administrators. Even for experienced system administrators, X raises many issues, both because of subtle changes in the standard UNIX way of doing things and because X blurs the boundaries between different platforms. Under X, users can run applications across the network on systems with different resources (including fonts, colors, and screen size). Many of these issues are poorly understood, and the technology for dealing with them is in rapid flux. This book is the first and only book devoted to the issues of system administration for X and X-based networks, written not just for UNIX system administrators but for anyone faced with the job of administering X (including those running X on stand-alone workstations). The book includes: An overview of X that focuses on issues that affect the system administrator's job. Information on obtaining, compiling, and installing the X software, including a discussion of the trade-offs between vendor-supplied and the free MIT versions of X. How to set up xdm , the X display manager, which takes the place of the login program under X and can be used to create a customized turnkey X session for each user. How to set up user accounts under X (includes a comparison of the familiar shell setup files and programs to the new mechanisms provided by X). Issues involved in making X more secure. X's security features are not strong, but an understanding of what features are available can be very important, since X makes it possible for users to intrude on each other in new and sometimes unexpected ways. How fonts are used by X, including a description of the font server. A discussion of the issues raised by running X on heterogenous networks. How colors are managed under X and how to get the same colors across multiple devices with different hardware characteristics. The administration issues involved in setting up and managing an X terminal. How to use PC and Mac X servers to maximize reuse of existing hardware and convert outdated hardware into X terminals. How to obtain and install additional public domain software and patches for X. Covers features new in R5, including the font server and Xcms.
