Digital Transformation in Financial Services
Author: Claudio Scardovi
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319669451
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This book analyzes the set of forces driving the global financial system toward a period of radical transformation and explores the transformational challenges that lie ahead for global and regional or local banks and other financial intermediaries. It is explained how these challenges derive from the newly emerging post-crisis structure of the market and from shadow and digital players across all banking operations. Detailed attention is focused on the impacts of digitalization on the main functions of the financial system, and particularly the banking sector. The author elaborates how an alternative model of banking will enable banks to predict, understand, navigate, and change the external ecosystem in which they compete. The five critical components of this model are data and information mastering; effective use of applied analytics; interconnectivity and “junction playing”; development of new business solutions; and trust and credibility assurance. The analysis is supported by a number of informative case studies. The book will be of interest especially to top and middle managers and employees of banks and financial institutions but also to FinTech players and their advisers and others.

Book Description
This prayer book was written over a two-year span. The prayers started one night when my daughter and I could not sync our time to pray together on one particular night in March 2017. While preparing for bed, the Lord said to me, "Just write a prayer and put it on Facebook". I did and the rest is history. You are now holding what it is that the Lord has done with these prayers. Each night with the exception of being away from home with no phone service, or during times of fasting, I wrote a prayer each night and posted them on Facebook. I have been told by many people along the way that they do not know how to pray. It is my prayer that this book will be a foundation for those who feel that they do not know how to pray or who simply need a prayer devotional.

On-line Estimation and Adaptive Control of Bioreactors
Author: G. Bastin
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483290980
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
This book deals with monitoring and control of biotechnological processes. Different methods are proposed which are based on the nonlinear structure of the process and do not require any a priori knowledge of the fermentation parameters. The theoretical stability and convergence properties of the proposed algorithms are analysed and their performances are illustrated by simulation results and, in many instances, by real life experiments. The concept of software sensors is introduced; these are algorithms based on the nonlinear model of the process and designed for on-line estimation of the biological variables and/or the fermentation parameters. In order to deal with process nonstationarities and parameter uncertainties, reference is made to adaptive estimation and control techniques.The book is the result of an intensive joint research effort by the authors during the last decade. It is intended as a graduate level text for students of bioengineering as well as a reference text for scientists and engineers involved in the design and optimization of bioprocesses.

Semigroups for Delay Equations
Author: András Bátkai
Publisher: A K Peters, Ltd.
ISBN: 9781568812434
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
In most physical, chemical, biological and economic phenomena it is quite natural to assume that the system not only depends on the present state but also on past occurrences. These circumstances are mathematically described by partial differential equations with delay. This book presents, in a systematic fashion, how delay equations can be studied in Lp-history spaces.Appendices offering supplementary information and a comprehensive index make this book an ideal introduction and research tool for mathematicians, chemists, biologists and economists.

Transforming Computer Technology
Author: Arthur L. Norberg
Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press
ISBN: 9780801863691
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Winner of the Association of American Publishers Professional and Scholarly Publishing Award for Computer Science Over the course of several decades, the Pentagon's Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) helped transform computing from a cumbersome enterprise based on batch processing to the instantly interactive, graphically rich, highly intelligent computing of today. With the purpose of improving command and control systems for the military, IPTO researchers strengthened time-sharing, laid the groundwork for graphics and parallel processing, contributed to the study of artificial intelligence, and developed the wide-area network that came to be known as the Internet. Transforming Computer Technology examines these and other developments at the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency in its heyday between 1962 and 1986. The authors show how Pentagon programs affected significant developments in both computer science and engineering. They analyze the management of the office, the origins and growth of important IPTO programs, and the interaction of the staff with the R & D community. They pay special attention to IPTO's role in executing research at the leading edge of computing and networking and in working with the military to transfer that research into practical use. And they show how, by the 1990s, the research results had been assimilated into systems both for the military and for civilian society.

Geometric Control Theory
Author: Velimir Jurdjevic
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521495024
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
Geometric control theory is concerned with the evolution of systems subject to physical laws but having some degree of freedom through which motion is to be controlled. This book describes the mathematical theory inspired by the irreversible nature of time evolving events. The first part of the book deals with the issue of being able to steer the system from any point of departure to any desired destination. The second part deals with optimal control, the question of finding the best possible course. An overlap with mathematical physics is demonstrated by the Maximum principle, a fundamental principle of optimality arising from geometric control, which is applied to time-evolving systems governed by physics as well as to man-made systems governed by controls. Applications are drawn from geometry, mechanics, and control of dynamical systems. The geometric language in which the results are expressed allows clear visual interpretations and makes the book accessible to physicists and engineers as well as to mathematicians.
