Inhalt: "Creating the Multicultural Organization challenges organizations to move away from merely "counting heads for the government" and begin creating effective strategies for a more positive approach to managing diversity. Taylor Cox outlines the diversity challenge and the forces that drive it and then presents innovative strategies for change through leadership, research, and education. Representing a radical departure from what most organizations have done in the past, Cox's systematic five-part model for developing a diversity-competent organization shows how you can achieve measurable results on changing the climate for diversity."--BOOK JACKET.

Serie: The Morgan Kaufmann series in multimedia information and systems

Inhalt: Digital watermarking is a key ingredient to copyright protection. It provides a solution to illegal copying of digital material and has many other useful applications such as broadcast monitoring and the recording of electronic transactions. Now, for the first time, there is a book that focuses exclusively on this exciting technology. Digital Watermarking covers the crucial research findings in the field: it explains the principles underlying digital watermarking technologies, describes the requirements that have given rise to them, and discusses the diverse ends to which the

Serie: Methods in molecular biology ; v. 195

Inhalt: Statistical methods for the analysis of quantitative trait locus (QTL), in conjunction with genome-wide screening technologies, are today yielding exciting results in the study of human disease, experimental organisms, and agriculture. In Quantitative Trait Loci: Methods and Protocols, Drs. Nicola Camp and Angela Cox have assembled a highly experienced panel of statistical geneticists who demonstrate in a step-by-step fashion how to use this powerful methodology and associated software for the detection and fine mapping of quantitative trait loci. Writing for the nonmathematician, these experts guide the investigator from the design stage of a project onwards, providing detailed explanations of how best to proceed with each specific analysis, to find and use appropriate software, and to interpret results. Worked examples, citations to key papers, and useful variations and/or extensions to standard methods are included that ease the reader toward understanding and successful studies. Among the cutting-edge techniques presented are QTDT methods, variance components methods, and the Markov chain Monte Carlo method for joint linkage and segregation analysis. Up-to-date and highly practical, Quantitative Trait Loci: Methods and Protocols makes available to nonmathematical investigators a step-by-step guide to the productive use today of all the latest techniques for localizing genes involved in complex quantitative traits.

Serie: Policy research working papers.

Inhalt: Cox uses date from the 1992-93 and 1997-98 Vietnam Living Standards Survey (VLSS) to describe patterns of money transfers between households. Rapid economic growth during the 1990s did little to diminish the importance of private transfers in Vietnam. Private transfers are large and widespread in both surveys, and are much larger than public transfers. Private transfers appear to function like means-tested public transfers, flowing from better-off to worse-off households and providing old age support in retirement. Panel evidence suggests some hysteresis in private transfer patterns, but many households also changed from recipients to givers and vice versa between surveys. Changes in private transfers appear responsive to changes in household pre-transfer income, demographic changes, and life-course events. Transfer inflows rise upon retirement and widowhood, for example, and are positively associated with increases in health expenditures. It also appears that private transfer inflows increased for households affected by Typhoon Linda, which devastated Vietnam's southernmost provinces in late 1997. This paper is a product of Macroeconomics and Growth, Development Research Group. The study was funded by the Bank's Research Support Budget under the research project Economic Growth and Household Welfare: Policy Lessons from Vietnam.

Inhalt: Es klingt wie eine von diesen modernen Legenden: Eine Videokassette, die mit albtraumhaften Bildern bespielt ist, hat einen merkwürdigen Telefonanruf zur Folge, der den Tod des jeweiligen Zuschauers in genau sieben Tagen ankündigt. Auch die Zeitungsreporterin Rachel Keller steht dieser Geschichte zunächst skeptisch gegenüber. Doch dann kommen tatsächlich vier Teenager auf unerklärliche Weise ums Leben, nachdem sie sich eine Woche zuvor das mysteriöse Video angesehen hatten. Rachel lässt sich von ihrer Neugier verleiten, treibt eines der Videos auf und sieht es sich an. Unversehens ist sie auf die Hilfe ihres Freundes Noah angewiesen, der ihr eigenes sowie das Leben ihres Sohnes retten muss. Es bleiben nur sieben Tage, um das Geheimnis des Rings zu lüften. - Das Remake des japanischen Kultschockers Ringu ist spannende Unterhaltung zwischen lähmendem Entsetzen und wohligem Grusel.
