A tanker is discovered grounded on a desolate beach hundreds of kilometers from civilization in the Kimberley region in North Western Australia. Investigators find the vessel empty and crewless, with a strange jagged hole in the hull at the waterline. Was it an accident? Yet this is the third vessel to run aground on these remote and isolated shores in a matter of months. Two years later, Police Superintendent Jake McLynn is instructed to investigate strange happenings in small indigenous communities in that vast wild land. Alarmed by what he finds, he sets in motion alerts in all the major communities encircling the Kimberley. Something unprecedented is threading its deadly mesh through the...
In a complex and changing world, current scientific approaches to problem solving have drastically evolved to include complexity models and emerging systems. Breaking problems into the smallest component and examining its position inside a system allows for a more regulated and measured technique in investigation, discovery, and providing solutions. Systems Research for Real-World Challenges is an essential reference source that explores the development of systems philosophy, theory, practice, its models, concepts, and methodologies developed as an aid for improving decision making and problem solving for the benefit of organizations and society as a whole. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as complexity models, management systems, and economic policy, this book is ideally designed for scientists, policy makers, researchers, managers, and systematists seeking current research on the benefits and approaches of problem solving within the realm of systems thinking and practice.
Covers receipts and expenditures of appropriations and other funds.
This book gathers select contributions from the 32nd International Congress and Exhibition on Condition Monitoring and Diagnostic Engineering Management (COMADEM 2019), held at the University of Huddersfield, UK in September 2019, and jointly organized by the University of Huddersfield and COMADEM International. The aim of the Congress was to promote awareness of the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary areas of condition monitoring and diagnostic engineering management. The contents discuss the latest tools and techniques in the multidisciplinary field of performance monitoring, root cause failure modes analysis, failure diagnosis, prognosis, and proactive management of industrial systems. There is a special focus on digitally enabled asset management and covers several topics such as condition monitoring, maintenance, structural health monitoring, non-destructive testing and other allied areas. Bringing together expert contributions from academia and industry, this book will be a valuable resource for those interested in latest condition monitoring and asset management techniques.
Data management technology is rapidly progressing, and with it comes the need for stricter rules that ensure the information being collected is handled appropriately. Ensuring Research Integrity and the Ethical Management of Data is an essential resource that examines the best approaches for providing quality research, as well as how to effectively manage that information in a reputable way. Featuring extensive research on relevant topics such as qualitative data collection, data sharing, data misinterpretation, and intellectual property, this scholarly publication is an ideal reference source for academicians, students, and researchers interested in current trends and techniques in ethical research and data management.
The book presents the proceedings of the International Conference on Innovation of Emerging Communication and Information Technology (ICIEICT 2023), which took place September 11 to 13, 2023, virtually and in Madrid, Spain. The conference is devoted to communication, computer science, electrical and electronics engineering, telecommunication engineering, and information technology. The conference is intended to provide a forum for research scientists, engineers, educators, and practitioners throughout the world to learn, share knowledge, publish, and disseminate the most recent innovations and developments, ideas, and applications in all fields of science, technology and information technology.
