Two Jaguar Squadron stories in one volume—for the first time!—from New York Times bestselling author Lindsay McKenna His Woman in Command Captain Nike Alexander is in Afghanistan to use her pilot skills. She doesn't have time for men, especially military men. Playing hard to get with Captain Gavin Jackson comes as naturally to Nike as flying one of her Apaches. But Gavin's sexy-as-sin smile makes it hard to say no. Then she gets into a dangerous situation, and his special ops skills could save her.

Cooperative Operation Optimization for Port Groups
Author: Bo Lu
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9819952778
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
This book focuses on port collaborative operation, an important emerging topic in the port and shipping industry, and deeply analyzes the high-quality collaborative mechanism of port groups from the perspectives of port groups’ supply chain cooperative operation mechanism, port groups’ logistics network optimization, port groups’ collaborative scheduling optimization of resources, etc. Based on the combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis on China’s cases, this book makes comprehensive use of game theory, network optimization, multi-dimensional resource cooperative scheduling optimization, and other theories and methods, and promotes the update and innovation of current research methods in related research areas. The feasible policy insights for optimization of port groups’ collaborative operation are suggested at the end of book, which will help with the improvement of economic, environmental, and social benefits of port groups, and promote the port industry’s innovation, upgrading, and transformation. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content. The present version has been revised technically and linguistically by the authors in collaboration with a professional translator.

Construction 4.0
Author: Anil Sawhney
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429675119
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 527
Book Description
Modelled on the concept of Industry 4.0, the idea of Construction 4.0 is based on a confluence of trends and technologies that promise to reshape the way built environment assets are designed, constructed, and operated. With the pervasive use of Building Information Modelling (BIM), lean principles, digital technologies, and offsite construction, the industry is at the cusp of this transformation. The critical challenge is the fragmented state of teaching, research, and professional practice in the built environment sector. This handbook aims to overcome this fragmentation by describing Construction 4.0 in the context of its current state, emerging trends and technologies, and the people and process issues that surround the coming transformation. Construction 4.0 is a framework that is a confluence and convergence of the following broad themes discussed in this book: Industrial production (prefabrication, 3D printing and assembly, offsite manufacture) Cyber-physical systems (actuators, sensors, IoT, robots, cobots, drones) Digital and computing technologies (BIM, video and laser scanning, AI and cloud computing, big data and data analytics, reality capture, Blockchain, simulation, augmented reality, data standards and interoperability, and vertical and horizontal integration) The aim of this handbook is to describe the Construction 4.0 framework and consequently highlight the resultant processes and practices that allow us to plan, design, deliver, and operate built environment assets more effectively and efficiently by focusing on the physical-to-digital transformation and then digital-to-physical transformation. This book is essential reading for all built environment and AEC stakeholders who need to get to grips with the technological transformations currently shaping their industry, research, and teaching.

IBM System Storage DS8000 Copy Services Scope Management and Resource Groups
Author: Bertrand Dufrasne
Publisher: IBM Redbooks
ISBN: 0738450642
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
The IBM® System Storage® DS8000® offers a policy-based resource management capability. This capability, named resource groups or Copy Services scope management, is the topic of this paper. With Copy Services scope management, Copy Service relationships can be limited to the domain of a set of user-specified resources. Additionally, user IDs can be configured to only allow them to issue Copy Services requests against a specific domain. This capability facilitates multi-tenancy by preventing any host or user from initiating a Copy Services operation that would cross a specific tenant's domain boundaries. In addition to the multi-tenant capability, Copy Services domains can also provide general-purpose partitioning to isolate heterogeneous environments from each other. The Copy Services scope management capability is available for any host type on any volume type. This IBM RedpaperTM publication is intended for anyone interested in Copy Services scope management. The paper starts with a general overview of the Copy Services scope management capability, its intended usage, and explanations of the underlying concept of resource groups. Subsequent chapters provide implementation details for both open systems and System z® perspectives and include usage illustrations with the DS8000 command-line interface (DSCLI).
