New Money Management -A Framework for Asset Allocation John Wiley & Sons Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

THE NEW MONEY MANAGEMENT In his bestselling Portfolio Management Formulas and The Mathematics of Money Management, Ralph Vince brought the complex mathematics of probability and modern portfolio management theory down to earth for traders and investors. He introduced innovative new ways they could be used to maximize account management decisions. Now, in this groundbreaking new book, Vince takes a quantum leap forward to provide investment professionals with a proven new approach to portfolio management that overturns nearly a half-century of accepted wisdom about asset allocation and money management. The culmination of Ralph Vince's years spent probing the limits of the mathematics of portfolio management, The New Money Management elaborates on his celebrated Optimal f notion--a concept which will be familiar to readers of either of Vince's previous books--to provide a revolutionary portfolio management model designed to optimize account performance, not just in the long run, but at virtually any given point in time.Unlike traditional models which focus on risk and reward as competing entities, the approach to portfolio construction described in this book concentrates on obtaining optimal synergy among all of the various components of a given portfolio. Unlike previous portfolio models which assumed an a priori distribution to returns, usually with returns being normally distributed, this new model is applicable to any distributional form of return. In The New Money Management, Ralph Vince once again demonstrates his critically acclaimed talent for talking about highly complex concepts in practical, real-world terms. Writing in a lively, anecdotal style, and relying on a bare minimum of math, he gently guides readers through the maze of complex theoretical issues while arming them with a set of easy-to-understand, easy-to-use formulas and investment strategies that they can put into practice immediately. The New Money Management is an indispensable resource for all investment professionals, especially traders in stocks, options, and futures; institutional investors; and portfolio managers.From a leading pioneer in portfolio theory, a revolutionary new approach to maximizing ongoing account equity ...In his most original and accessible book yet, computer trading systems expert Ralph Vince introduces investment professionals to a revolutionary portfolio management model designed to optimize account performance, not just in the long run, but at virtually any given point in time. "Ralph Vince has done it again. His work is original and level-headed, and contributes more than anyone else to our understanding of risk. Vince's work is required reading for any portfolio manager." --Barbara Rockefeller, President Rockefeller Asset Management, Inc. "Ralph Vince's optimal concept is the single best strategy for determining how many contracts or number of shares to buy when first entering a trade.

Bergey's Manual (R) of Systematic Bacteriology Springer-Verlag New York Inc.

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Since publication of the first edition of Bergey s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, it has become recognized throughout the world as the principal monographic work in the field of prokaryotic biology. Like a dictionary to a writer, the Manual is usually the first reference that a microbiologist consults when questions arise regarding the characteristics of an unfamiliar species or an unknown strain that bears some similarity to a more familiar one. While the first edition has served the community well for many years, it has become outdated. As a result, the editorial board of Bergey s Manual Trust, in collaboration with more than 500 of the world s leading authorities in prokaryotic systematics, is in the process of revising Bergey s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology so that it reflects current thinking and advances in the field. §Background§Rapid advances in DNA sequencing technology have led to a major change in the way that prokaryotes are classified. Sequence analysis of highly conserved regions of the bacterial genome, such as the small subunit rRNA gene, now provide us with a universal method of estimating the evolutionary relationships among all organisms. Such gene-based phylogenetic classifications have led to many new discoveries about prokaryotes that were not reflected in the classification used in the first edition of the Manual. We now know that the prokaryotes fall into two broad domains: the Archaea and the Bacteria. Whereas the Archaea were once thought of as the more primitive of the prokaryotic lineages, we now realize that they are more closely related to the eukaryotes than to the Bacteria by this measure. We have come to realize that many taxa based on shared phenotypic features may be quite distinct from one another based on phylogenetic evidence. The Chromatium, a genus of anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria are more closely related to E. coli than to some other lineages of anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria; Mycoplasma and other cell-wall deficient species are members of the Gram-positive clade; the medically important Chlamydia are aligned with the Planctomyces; and the Clostridium, which form a phenotypically coherent group, fall into more than a dozen phylogenetically disparate groups of Gram-positive bacteria. We have also come to realize that prokaryotes represent one of the major sources of biodiversity in nature and play a major role in the functioning of all ecosystems. §In addition to such fundamental revelations, the widespread application of new methods of classifying prokaryotes has led to an explosive growth in the number of validly published species and higher taxa. Since completion of the first edition of the Manual, the number of published species has more than tripled and has been accompanied by numerous taxonomic realignments that take into consideration newly published findings. §Phylogenetic classification is now broadly accepted as the preferred method of representing taxonomic relationships among prokaryotes and eukaryotes alike. While the evolutionary history of the prokaryotes is far from complete, there is already sufficient data to provide a reasonable view of the major lines of descent of the cultivable species. Although the second edition of the Manual retains it s unique and highly structured style of presentation of information along genus and species lines, the arrangement of content is along the phylogenetic lines of the small subunit rRNA gene, so that the reader is presented with the information in a more natural, biological perspective. The second edition of the Manual also contains more in-depth ecological information about individual taxa and many new introductory essays.

Human-Robot Interaction: A Survey starts out by tracing the early history of robotics and human-machine interaction and the emergence of HRI as a field in its own right. It goes on to discuss what defines an HRI problem and to survey the kinds of problems encountered. The final two sections focus on the accepted practices, challenge problems and solution themes that have emerged as the field has matured. It concludes with a section on how HRI research ties in with work in other scientific fields.Human-Robot Interaction: A Survey is both an ideal tutorial for people outside the field and a timely addition to the current literature within the field which is intended to promote discussion of a unified vision of HRI.

Ralph Helfer - Zamba HarperCollins Publishers Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

When Ralph Helfer, now one of Hollywood's top animal behaviorists, first began working, he was shocked by the cruelty that was accepted practice in the field. He firmly believed in "affection training" -- that love, not fear, should be the basis of any animal's development, even when dealing with the most dangerous of creatures. Then Zamba came into his life -- an adorable four-month-old lion cub that went on to prove Helfer's theories resoundingly correct. Over the next eighteen years, Zamba would thrive and grow, and go on to star in numerous motion pictures and television shows -- all the while developing a deep and powerful bond of love and affection with the man who raised him. By turns astonishing, hilarious, and poignant, "Zamba" is not only the unforgettable story of the relationship that Helfer would come to consider one of the most important in his life but also that of the amazing career and adventures of the greatest lion in the world.
