Introduction to C++ for Financial Engineers: An Object-Oriented Approach (The Wiley Finance Series) Feature

This book introduces the reader to the C++ programming language and how to use it to write applications in quantitative finance (QF) and related areas. No previous knowledge of C or C++ is required. - experience with VBA, Matlab or other programming language is sufficient. The book adopts an incremental approach; starting from basic principles then moving on to advanced complex techniques and then to real-life applications in financial engineering. There are five major parts in the book:

• C++ fundamentals and object-oriented thinking in QF
• Advanced object-oriented features such as inheritance and polymorphism
• Template programming and the Standard Template Library (STL)
• An introduction to GOF design patterns and their applications in QF Applications

The kinds of applications include binomial and trinomial methods, Monte Carlo simulation, advanced trees, partial differential equations and finite difference methods.

This book contains a CD with all source code and many useful C++ classes that you can use in your own applications. Examples, test cases and applications are directly relevant to QF.

This book is the perfect companion to Daniel J. Duffy’s book Financial Instrument Pricing using C++ (Wiley 2004, 0470855096 / 9780470021620)

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

RNA Methodologies, Second Edition: A Laboratory Guide for Isolation and Characterization Feature

This laboratory guide is a collection of tested and optimized laboratory protocols for the isolation and characterization of eukaryotic RNA. This edition includes a variety of RNA-based PCR techniques, such as differential display PCR, and transcript quantification by competitive (mimic) PCR. The book focuses on how these methodologies can be used in the study of transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of eukaryotic genes. The liberal incorporation of flow charts, tables, and graphs facilitate learning and assist in the planning phases of projects. It is a valuable resource for investigators who wish to characterize cellular biochemistry.

Key Features
* Studies cellular biochemistry using RNA as a parameter of gene expression
* Unifies many facets of working with RNA
* Offers multiple isolation strategies directed to the same experimental end
* Explains proper handling, storage, and manipulation of RNA
* Includes classic and contemporary techniques
* Contains fully annotated protocols, as well as rationale for each protocol
* Incorporates flow charts, tables, and graphs to facilitate learning and assist in the planning phases of projects

Social Work Diagnosis in Contemporary Practice

Social Work Diagnosis in Contemporary Practice Review

Social Work Diagnosis in Contemporary Practice Feature

The unifying theme of this broad-reaching volume is that responsible, ethical, and effective social work practice rests on the diagnostic skills of the practitioner. Social work diagnosis refers to the conscious formulation of an ongoing set of decisions about the client and his or her situation, which serve as the basis for intervention-decisions for which the practitioner must be prepared to take responsibility. Diagnostic skill development is an ongoing process principally enhanced by a continuous commitment to remain at the cutting edge of the profession's body of knowledge, but one of the challenges for today's practitioner is keeping abreast of the rapidly expanding body of knowledge contained in some 200 important social work periodicals in circulation. Francis J. Turner, a preeminent clinical scholar, brings together in one volume some of the best work published since 2000, each reflecting new insights into understanding psychosocial situations and innovative methods of applying knowledge and skills in an increasingly effective manner. Each of the 78 articles in this volume highlights some of the critical dimensions of contemporary social work practice, guiding clinicians to address four key aspects in order to craft an accurate diagnosis. The first section presents articles covering the developmental spectrum, each of which fully explains various ages and stages of development. The second section focuses on a range of specific situations, helping practitioners and students enrich their understanding of different types of problems they meet in contemporary practice, whether they are based in mental illness, psychosocial issues, or physical ailments. The third section addresses the crucial component of diversity, demonstrating the complexity and critical importance of truly understanding clients and their lives. The last section of the book discusses innovative approaches to practice, selected to offer practitioners easy access to the latest interventions for a host of contemporary challenges facing clients and their therapists. Broad in scope and tightly focused on the goal of providing the most up-to-date information necessary for accuracy in the diagnostic process, this volume represents some of the best research available to today's social workers.

Six Sigma for the Next Millennium: A CSSBB Guidebook

Six Sigma for the Next Millennium: A CSSBB Guidebook Feature

This book follows the ASQ Certified Six Sigma Black Belt (CSSBB) Body of Knowledge exactly and is designed to walk the reader through at a medium-level of detail. Organization of the material is completely straightforward— broken down into "bite-size" chunks with the student in mind. While a plethora of books claim some relation to Six Sigma, unfortunately very few of them support the body of knowledge explicitly. The author supplies the Black Belt candidate with enough information to pursue the CSSBB examination aggressively, with the material in the book and also the ancillary works referenced. At the end of each chapter are one or two titles for further reading, works that the author owns personally and uses for both work and formal examination study. The book can serve as an intense, high-speed tutorial for the CSSBB examination, a reference for the working Black Belt, or a resource to find further reading. Trainers could use it in their Black Belt certification preparation classes.

Federal Statements of Work: A Practical Guide Feature

The Most Comprehensive Resource Available on Developing, Writing, and Executing Statements of Work

When written well, a statement of work (SOW) attracts high-quality, competitive bids. When written poorly, it leads to disputes and protests and results in bids that do not meet the needs of the government. Federal Statements of Work: A Practical Guide is an indispensable reference tool for anyone in the public sector charged with developing, writing, and executing an SOW to procure goods and services.

Introducing readers to the basic sections and types of an SOW, how they are written, when they should be applied, and how they are used, this book puts the SOW in perspective as a fundamental part of federal contracting. The supplemental CD-ROM offers numerous contracting resources, including federal regulations, sample SOWs and statements of objectives, sample solicitations, e-tools, and education and training information.

By employing the guidelines and techniques presented in this book, you can avoid the problems that often lead to project failure.
-Ensure that projects meet the specified scope and quality
-Reduce the possibility of change orders and increased costs
-Control risk by clearly defining roles and responsibilities
