practice, the textual definition of logistics management has permanently been
extended since the early 1960's. The prevailing definitions range from the
primary view of logistics as an operational business function encompassing the
transportation, storage and handling of goods to the recent perception of logistics
as a systemic or integral perspective of management.17 In this contemporary
understanding logistics means more than a mere operational business function.

Second Chance At Romance: Second Chance Stories/Second Time Sweeter/I'Ve Got You/Ravenous

Love at first sight is all very well, but sometimes it takes a second chance...Three stories featuring second chance romances, with happy-ever-after endings guaranteed! Second Time Sweeter — Ros Baxter Ten years ago, Genevieve Jenkins let the love of her life ride out of town while she settled for the safe bet. Turns out Mr Safe Bet wasn’t so safe after all. The last thing she needs is for Mr Love of her Life to ride back into town, successful, smart, devastatingly sexy, and all the things that she can no longer be. Brodie Brown is back in town on a mission of mercy, but he’s keeping his guard up. He can’t let this town — or the girl who broke his heart ten years before — get under his skin. But he loved this town and he loves the people, so when Sweet Pocket calls, he answers. But it’s only temporary and it’s only business. When the town’s future is secure, he’ll ride away again — back to his life and his future, and away from the girl who could make both worthwhile. I’ve Got You — Louise Forster She’s at risk of drowning in more ways than one – and he’s the last person she expects to pull her out of the water. Belle Fabrini is sailing through the Whitsunday Islands to see her grandfather, when she’s caught in a freakish storm. Luckily, Kabe Hunter finds her and hoists her on board his yacht just before a huge wave threatens to end her life. Belle hasn’t seen Kabe since high school, a time she spent crushing on Kabe in a big way. Now he’s sitting across from her in a tiny cabin wearing nothing but a towel. But Kabe has a reputation for loving and leaving gorgeous tourists, and Belle doesn’t need any more complications in her life. But Kabe has no intention of losing Belle, now that he’s finally found her again.

Erin McDonald likes her simple life in her small town: no drama, no fuss, no uncertainty...until Jesse Hackett breezes back into town.

No woman has ever compared, and once he convinces Erin to let him touch her again, he’s never going to let her go.

Smarter Faster Better

The Transformative Power of Real Productivity

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the author of The Power of Habit comes a fascinating book that explores the science of productivity, and why managing how you think is more important than what you think with an appendix of real-world lessons to apply to your life. At the core of Smarter Faster Better are eight key productivity concepts from motivation and goal setting to focus and decision making that explain why some people and companies get so much done. Drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics as well as the experiences of CEOs, educational reformers, four-star generals, FBI agents, airplane pilots, and Broadway songwriters this painstakingly researched book explains that the most productive people, companies, and organizations don t merely act differently. They view the world, and their choices, in profoundly different ways. A young woman drops out of a PhD program and starts playing poker. By training herself to envision contradictory futures, she learns to anticipate her opponents missteps and becomes one of the most successful players in the world. A group of data scientists at Google embark on a four-year study of how the best teams function, and find that how a group interacts is more important than who is in the group a principle, it turns out, that also helps explain why Saturday Night Live became a hit. A Marine Corps general, faced with low morale among recruits, reimagines boot camp and discovers that instilling a bias toward action can turn even the most directionless teenagers into self-motivating achievers. The filmmakers behind Disney s Frozen are nearly out of time and on the brink of catastrophe until they shake up their team in just the right way, spurring a creative breakthrough that leads to one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. What do these people have in common? They know that productivity relies on making certain choices. The way we frame our daily decisions; the big ambitions we embrace and the easy goals we ignore; the cultures we establish as leaders to drive innovation; the way we interact with data: These are the things that separate the merely busy from the genuinely productive. InThe Power of Habit, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Charles Duhigg explained why we do what we do. In Smarter Faster Better, he applies the same relentless curiosity, deep reporting, and rich storytelling to explain how we can improve at the things we do. It s a groundbreaking exploration of the science of productivity, one that can help anyone learn to succeed with less stress and struggle, and to get more done without sacrificing what we care about most to become smarter, faster, and better at everything we do. Praise for Smarter Faster Better A pleasure to read . . . Duhigg s skill as a storyteller makes his book so engaging to read. The New York Times Book Review Not only will Smarter Faster Better make you more efficient if you heed its tips, it will also save you the effort of reading many productivity books dedicated to the ideas inside. Bloomberg Businessweek Duhigg pairs relatable anecdotes with the research behind why some people and businesses are not as efficient as others. Chicago Tribune The book covers a lot of ground through meticulous reporting and deft analysis, presenting a wide range of case studies . . . with insights that apply to the rest of us.

Scientific Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery

Principles and Foundations

Mohamed Medhat Gaber “It is not my aim to surprise or shock you – but the simplest way I can summarise is to say that there are now in the world machines that think, that learn and that create. Moreover, their ability to do these things is going to increase rapidly until – in a visible future – the range of problems they can handle will be coextensive with the range to which the human mind has been applied” by Herbert A. Simon (1916-2001) 1Overview This book suits both graduate students and researchers with a focus on discovering knowledge from scienti c data. The use of computational power for data analysis and knowledge discovery in scienti c disciplines has found its roots with the re- lution of high-performance computing systems. Computational science in physics, chemistry, and biology represents the rst step towards automation of data analysis tasks. The rational behind the developmentof computationalscience in different - eas was automating mathematical operations performed in those areas. There was no attention paid to the scienti c discovery process. Automated Scienti c Disc- ery (ASD) [1–3] represents the second natural step. ASD attempted to automate the process of theory discovery supported by studies in philosophy of science and cognitive sciences. Although early research articles have shown great successes, the area has not evolved due to many reasons. The most important reason was the lack of interaction between scientists and the automating systems.

The contributions in this book provide the reader with a complete view of the different tools used in the analysis of data for scientific discovery.
