Risky Agricultural Markets Price Forecasting And The Need For Intervention Policies

Risky Agricultural Markets Price Forecasting And The Need For Intervention Policies

This book shows how decisions made by individual farmers influence the efficiency of agricultural markets. Unless farmers properly take account of the correlation between prices and yields in forming their price forecasts competitive markets will often be socially inefficient leading to misallocation of resources. The authors demonstrate that a simple and practical price forecasting rule based on expected per unit revenue is generally adequate to ensure efficient market behavior. Time-series data from various countries are used to test the hypothesis that market supply is influenced by the correlation of price and yield as well as by lagged market prices . The importance of market inefficiencies in risky situations is shown to depend on the variability of yields the nature of farmers'price forecasting behavior the degree of private risk aversion and the elasticity of demand. The authors suggest and evaluate three basic policy approaches governments may take when confronted with very inefficient markets-establishing production quotas improving market information services and implementing price stabilization schemes. They conclude by discussing implications of the study for the specification of agricultural supply models and for the economic appraisal of risky investment projects. | Risky Agricultural Markets Price Forecasting And The Need For Intervention Policies

Modern Management and Leadership Best Practice Essentials with CISO/CSO Applications

Modern Management and Leadership Best Practice Essentials with CISO/CSO Applications

In one modest-sized volume this book offers three valuable sets of knowledge. First it provides best practice guidance on virtually every large-scale task a modern manager may be involved in—from recruiting and hiring to onboarding and leading teams and from employee engagement and retention to performance management and working with difficult employees. Second it explains the essential concepts and practice of a range of effective leadership styles—including (but not limited to) servant leadership crisis leadership change agent leadership and diversity and inclusion leadership. Third it offers brief case studies from select CISOs and CSOs on how these management and leadership principles and practices play out in real-life workplace situations. The best practice essentials provided throughout this volume will empower aspiring leaders and also enable experienced managers to take their leadership to the next level. Many if not most CISOs and other leaders have had very little if any formal training in management and leadership. The select few that have such training usually obtained it through academic courses that take a theoretical broad brush approach. In contrast this book provides much actionable guidance in the nitty-gritty tasks that managers must do every day. Lack of management practical knowledge puts CISOs and CSOs at a disadvantage vis-a-vis other executives in the C-suite. They risk being pigeonholed as “security cops” rather than respected business leaders. Many articles on these subjects published in the press are too incomplete and filled with bad information. And combing through the few high-quality sources that are out there such as Harvard Business Publishing can take hundreds of dollars in magazine subscription and book purchase fees and weeks or months of reading time. This book puts all the essential information into your hands through a series of concise chapters authored by an award-winning writer. | Modern Management and Leadership Best Practice Essentials with CISO/CSO Applications

Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

High temperature high oil pressure oil and gas well completion testing have always been a technical challenge and basic theoretical research is one of the key factors needed to ensure a successful completion test. The completion test basic theory includes: a stress analysis of the completion string completion string buckling behavior and temperature and pressure distribution prediction. The completion string is the main bearing and power transmission component for oil and gas well operations and production and it is required to take on a combination of loads which result in completion string deformation. Because of these complex relationships completion string stress analysis has become increasingly more complicated. This book discusses the characters of tubular strings in HTHP (High Temperature - High Pressure) oil and gas wells. These characters include the mechanical behavior of tubular strings and the temperature and pressure variation of tubular strings in different conditions. Mathematical models are established for different conditions and solution existence and uniqueness of some models is discussed providing algorithms corresponding to the different models. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the validity of models and the feasibility of algorithms and the impact of the parameters of models for oil and gas wells is also discussed. This book is written for production and testing engineers to provide them with the tools to deal more effectively with the numerical decisions they have to take and for researchers and technicians in petroleum and gas testing and production engineering. Finally it is also intended to serve as a reference book for mathematicians college teachers and students. | Tubular String Characterization in High Temperature High Pressure Oil and Gas Wells

AI for Diversity

AI for Diversity

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly impacting many aspects of people’s lives across the globe from relatively mundane technology to more advanced digital systems that can make their own decisions. While AI has great potential it also holds great peril depending on how it is designed and used. AI for Diversity questions how AI technology can lead to inclusion or exclusion for diverse groups in society. The way data is selected trained used and embedded into societies can have unfortunate consequences unless we critically investigate the dangers of systems left unchecked and can lead to misogynistic homophobic racist ageist transphobic or ableist outcomes. This book encourages the reader to take a step back to see how AI is impacting diverse groups of people and how diversity-awareness strategies can impact AI.

Countering Cyber Sabotage Introducing Consequence-Driven Cyber-Informed Engineering (CCE)

Countering Cyber Sabotage Introducing Consequence-Driven Cyber-Informed Engineering (CCE)

Countering Cyber Sabotage: Introducing Consequence-Driven Cyber-Informed Engineering (CCE) introduces a new methodology to help critical infrastructure owners operators and their security practitioners make demonstrable improvements in securing their most important functions and processes. Current best practice approaches to cyber defense struggle to stop targeted attackers from creating potentially catastrophic results. From a national security perspective it is not just the damage to the military the economy or essential critical infrastructure companies that is a concern. It is the cumulative downstream effects from potential regional blackouts military mission kills transportation stoppages water delivery or treatment issues and so on. CCE is a validation that engineering first principles can be applied to the most important cybersecurity challenges and in so doing protect organizations in ways current approaches do not. The most pressing threat is cyber-enabled sabotage and CCE begins with the assumption that well-resourced adaptive adversaries are already in and have been for some time undetected and perhaps undetectable. Chapter 1 recaps the current and near-future states of digital technologies in critical infrastructure and the implications of our near-total dependence on them. Chapters 2 and 3 describe the origins of the methodology and set the stage for the more in-depth examination that follows. Chapter 4 describes how to prepare for an engagement and chapters 5-8 address each of the four phases. The CCE phase chapters take the reader on a more granular walkthrough of the methodology with examples from the field phase objectives and the steps to take in each phase. Concluding chapter 9 covers training options and looks towards a future where these concepts are scaled more broadly. | Countering Cyber Sabotage Introducing Consequence-Driven Cyber-Informed Engineering (CCE)

The Ecology of Everyday Things

The Ecology of Everyday Things

Nature is all around us in the beautiful but also in the unappealing and functional and from the awe-inspiring to the mundane. It is vital that we learn to see the agency of the natural world in all things that make our lives possible comfortable and profitable. The Ecology of Everyday Things pulls back the veil of our familiarity on a range of ‘everyday things’ that surround us and which we perhaps take too much for granted. This key into the magic world of the everyday can enable us to take better account of our common natural inheritance. Professor James Longhurst Assistant Vice Chancellor University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) For many people ecosystems may be a remote concept yet we eat drink breathe and interface with them in every moment of our lives. In this engaging textbook ecosystems scientist Dr. Mark Everard considers a diversity of ‘everyday things’ including fascinating facts about their ecological origins: from the tea we drink to the things we wear read and enjoy to the ecology of communities and space flight and the important roles played by germs and ‘unappealing creatures’ such as slugs and wasps. In today’s society we are so umbilically connected to ecosystems that we fail to notice them and this oversight blinds us to the unsustainability of everyday life and the industries and policy environment that supports it. The Ecology of Everyday Things takes the reader on an enlightening fascinating voyage of discovery all the while soundly rooted in robust science. It will stimulate awareness about how connected we all are to the natural world and its processes and how important it is to learn to better treat our environment. Ideal for use in undergraduate- and school-level teaching it will also interest educate engage and enthuse a wide range of less technical audiences.
