Software Estimation Demystifying the Black Art【電子書籍】[ Steve McConnell ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Often referred to as the “black art” because of its complexity and uncertainty, software estimation is not as difficult or puzzling as people think. In fact, generating accurate estimates is straightforwardーonce you understand the art of creating them. In his highly anticipated book, acclaimed author Steve McConnell unravels the mystery to successful software estimationーdistilling academic information and real-world experience into a practical guide for working software professionals. Instead of arcane treatises and rigid modeling techniques, this guide highlights a proven set of procedures, understandable formulas, and heuristics that individuals and development teams can apply to their projects to help achieve estimation proficiency.<br /> Discover how to:</p> <ul> <li>Estimate schedule and costーor estimate the functionality that can be delivered within a given time frame</li> <li>Avoid common software estimation mistakes</li> <li>Learn estimation techniques for you, your team, and your organization * Estimate specific project activitiesーincluding development, management, and defect correction</li> <li>Apply estimation approaches to any type of projectーsmall or large, agile or traditional</li> <li>Navigate the shark-infested political waters that surround project estimates</li> </ul> <p>When many corporate software projects are failing, McConnell shows you what works for successful software estimation.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,704円

The Barbary Plague The Black Death in Victorian San Francisco【電子書籍】[ Marilyn Chase ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>“San Francisco in 1900 was a Gold Rush boomtown settling into a gaudy middle age. . . . It had a pompous new skyline with skyscrapers nearly twenty stories tall, grand hotels, and Victorian mansions on Nob Hill. . . . The wharf bristled with masts and smokestacks from as many as a thousand sailing ships and steamers arriving each year. . . . But the harbor would not be safe for long. Across the Pacific came an unexpected import, bubonic plague. Sailing from China and Hawaii into the unbridged arms of the Golden Gate, it arrived aboard vessels bearing rich cargoes, hopeful immigrants, and infected vermin. The rats slipped out of their shadowy holds, scuttled down the rigging, and alighted on the wharf. Uphill they scurried, insinuating themselves into the heart of the city.”</em></p> <p>The plague first sailed into San Francisco on the steamer Australia, on the day after New Year’s in 1900. Though the ship passed inspection, some of her stowawaysーinfected ratsーescaped detection and made their way into the city’s sewer system. Two months later, the first human case of bubonic plague surfaced in Chinatown.</p> <p>Initially in charge of the government’s response was Quarantine Officer Dr. Joseph Kinyoun. An intellectually astute but autocratic scientist, Kinyoun lacked the diplomatic skill to manage the public health crisis successfully. He correctly diagnosed the plague, but because of his quarantine efforts, he was branded an alarmist and a racist, and was forced from his post. When a second epidemic erupted five years later, the more self-possessed and charming Dr. Rupert Blue was placed in command. He won the trust of San Franciscans by shifting the government’s attack on the plague from the cool remove of the laboratory onto the streets, among the people it affected. Blue preached sanitation to contain the disease, but it was only when he focused his attack on the newly discovered source of the plague, infected rats and their fleas, that he finally eradicated itーtruly one of the great, if little known, triumphs in American public health history.</p> <p>With stunning narrative immediacy fortified by rich research, Marilyn Chase transports us to the city during the late Victorian ageーa roiling melting pot of races and cultures that, nearly destroyed by an earthquake, was reborn, thanks in no small part to Rupert Blue and his motley band of pied pipers.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,088円

The Double Black Box National Security, Artificial Intelligence, and the Struggle for Democratic Accountability【電子書籍】[ Ashley S. Deeks ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>National security decisions pose a paradox: they are among the most consequential a government can make, but are generally the least transparent to the democratic public. The "black box" nature of national security decision-making--driven by extensive classification and characterized by difficulty overseeing executive actions --has expanded in the United States as executive power continues to grow. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) systems to enhance national security decision-making--or even to make autonomous decisions--deepens this challenge, because it is difficult to understand how AI algorithms, often described as "black boxes," reach their conclusions. The widespread use of AI inside the national security ecosystem renders U.S. national security choices even more opaque to the public, congressional overseers, U.S. allies, and even the executive officials making the decisions. How can we be confident that the U.S. government's use of these AI systems comports with our values, including rationality, lawfulness, and accountability? <em>The Double Black Box: National Security, Artificial Intelligence, and the Struggle for Democratic Accountability</em> addresses these pressing challenges. Because China is committed to becoming the world leader in AI and faces fewer legal and values-based constraints on its pursuit of military AI, democracies' commitment to using AI in lawful and ethical ways will be tested. This book defines and explores the "double black box" phenomenon and then identifies ways that policymakers, military and intelligence officials, and lawyers in democratic states such as the United States can reap the advantages of advanced technologies without surrendering their public law values.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,368円

The Last Days of the Dinosaurs An Asteroid, Extinction and the Beginning of Our World【電子書籍】[ Riley Black ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Some 66 million years ago, an asteroid some seven miles across slammed into the Earth, leaving a geologic wound over 50 miles in diameter.</strong> In the terrible mass extinction that followed, more than half of known species vanish seemingly overnight. But this worst single day in the history of life of Earth was as critical for us as it was for the dinosaurs, as it allowed for evolutionary opportunities that were closed for the previous 100 million years. In <em>The Last Days of the Dinosaurs</em>, Riley Black walks readers through what happened in the days, the years, the centuries and the million years after the impact. Life's losses were sharp and deeply felt, but the hope carried by the beings that survived sets the stage for the world as we know it now.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,760円

Experiments upon magnesia alba, Quicklime, and some other Alcaline Substances【電子書籍】[ Joseph Black ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Experiments upon Magnesia Alba, Quicklime, and some other Alcaline Substances," Joseph Black meticulously investigates the chemical properties and reactions of various alkaline compounds. The text is crafted in a clear and methodical style, reflecting the empirical rigor of the 18th-century scientific revolution. Black's experiments not only illuminate the unique behaviors of magnesia alba and quicklime but also contribute significantly to the burgeoning field of chemistry, solidifying the importance of precise measurement and observation in scientific experimentation. With its systematic approach, the book provides a foundational understanding of the differences between the alkalies and examines their implications for contemporary chemical theory. Joseph Black, a prominent Scottish physician and chemist, was deeply influenced by the scientific discourse of his time, particularly through his studies under notable figures such as the chemist William Cullen. His keen interest in thermal properties and the understanding of gases paved the way for his groundbreaking investigations into alkaline substances. Black's research not only expanded the chemical knowledge of his era but also laid the groundwork for later advancements in the study of acids and bases. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the origins of modern chemistry and the historical context of scientific discovery. Black's work serves as a critical reference for students and scholars alike, illustrating the meticulous nature of scientific inquiry and the transformative power of basic research.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 150円

Spooked The Trump Dossier, Black Cube, and the Rise of Private Spies【電子書籍】[ Barry Meier ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist's journey into a billon-dollar secret industry that is shaping our world ? the booming business of private spying, operatives-for-hire retained by companies, political parties and the powerful to dig up dirt on their enemies and, if need be, destroy them.</strong></p> <p>For decades, private eyes from Allan Pinkerton, who formed the first detective agency in the U.S., to Jules Kroll, who transformed the investigations business by giving it a corporate veneer, private spies were content to stand in the shadows. Now, that is all changing. High-profile stories grabbing recent headlines ? the Steele Dossier, Black Cube, the Theranos scandal, Harvey Weinstein's attacks on his accusers ? all share a common thread, the involvement of private spies.</p> <p>Today, operatives-for-hire are influencing presidential elections, the news media, government policies and the fortunes of companies.. They are also peering into our personal lives as never before, using off-the shelf technology to listen to our phone calls, monitor our emails, and decide what we see on social media. Private spying has never been cheaper and the business has never been more lucrativeーjust as its power has never been more pervasive.</p> <p><em>Spooked</em> is a fast-paced, disturbing and, at times, hilarious tour through the shadowlands of private spying and its inhabitants, a grab-bag collection of ex-intelligence operatives, former journalists and lost souls. In this hidden world, information is currency, double-crosses are commonplace, and hacking can be standard procedure. Drawing on his journalistic expertise and unique access to sources, Barry Meier uncovers the secrets private spies want to keep hidden.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,440円

Black Holes: The Key to Understanding the Universe【電子書籍】[ Professor Brian Cox ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>A Brief History of Time</em> for the 21st Century</p> <p>At the heart of our galaxy lies a monster so deadly, not even light can escape its grasp. Its secrets lie waiting to be discovered. It’s time to explore our universe’s most mysterious inhabitants</p> <p>Black Holes</p> <p><strong>At the heart of the Milky Way lies a supermassive black hole 4 million times more massive than our Sun. A place where space and time are so warped that light is trapped if it ventures within 12 million km. According to Einstein, inside lies the end of time. According to 21st-century physics, the reality may be far more bizarre.</strong></p> <p>Black holes lie where the most massive stars used to shine and at the edge of our current understanding. They are naturally occurring objects, the inevitable creations of gravity when too much matter collapses into not enough space. And yet, although the laws of nature predict them, they fail fully to describe them.</p> <p>Black holes are places in space and time where the laws of gravity, quantum physics and thermodynamics collide. Originally thought to be so intellectually troubling that they simply could not exist, it is only in the past few years that we have begun to glimpse a new synthesis; a deep connection between gravity and quantum information theory that describes a holographic universe in which space and time emerge from a network of quantum bits, and wormholes span the void.</p> <p>In this groundbreaking book, Professor Brian Cox and Professor Jeff Forshaw take you to the edge of our understanding of black holes; a scientific journey to the research frontier spanning a century of physics, from Einstein to Hawking and beyond, that ends with the startling conclusion that our world may operate like a giant quantum computer.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,562円

Black Skin, White Coats Nigerian Psychiatrists, Decolonization, and the Globalization of Psychiatry【電子書籍】[ Matthew M. Heaton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><em>Black Skin, White Coats</em> is a history of psychiatry in Nigeria from the 1950s to the 1980s. Working in the contexts of decolonization and anticolonial nationalism, Nigerian psychiatrists sought to replace racist colonial psychiatric theories about the psychological inferiority of Africans with a universal and egalitarian model focusing on broad psychological similarities across cultural and racial boundaries. Particular emphasis is placed on Dr. T. Adeoye Lambo, the first indigenous Nigerian to earn a specialty degree in psychiatry in the United Kingdom in 1954. Lambo returned to Nigeria to become the medical superintendent of the newly founded Aro Mental Hospital in Abeokuta, Nigeria’s first “modern” mental hospital. At Aro, Lambo began to revolutionize psychiatric research and clinical practice in Nigeria, working to integrate “modern” western medical theory and technologies with “traditional” cultural understandings of mental illness. Lambo’s research focused on deracializing psychiatric thinking and redefining mental illness in terms of a model of universal human similarities that crossed racial and cultural divides.</p> <p><em>Black Skin, White Coats</em> is the first work to focus primarily on black Africans as producers of psychiatric knowledge and as definers of mental illness in their own right. By examining the ways that Nigerian psychiatrists worked to integrate their psychiatric training with their indigenous backgrounds and cultural and civic nationalisms, <em>Black Skin, White Coats</em> provides a foil to Frantz Fanon’s widely publicized reactionary articulations of the relationship between colonialism and psychiatry. <em>Black Skin, White Coats</em> is also on the cutting edge of histories of psychiatry that are increasingly drawing connections between local and national developments in late-colonial and postcolonial settings and international scientific networks. Heaton argues that Nigerian psychiatrists were intimately aware of the need to engage in international discourses as part and parcel of the transformation of psychiatry at home.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,932円

Environment, Society and the Black Death An interdisciplinary approach to the late-medieval crisis in Sweden【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the mid-fourteenth century the Black Death ravaged Europe, leading to dramatic population drop and social upheavals. Recurring plague outbreaks together with social factors pushed Europe into a deep crisis that lasted for more than a century. The plague and the crisis, and in particular their short-term and long-term consequences for society, have been the matter of continuous debate. Most of the research so far has been based on the study of written sources, and the dominating perspective has been the one of economic history. A different approach is presented here by using evidence and techniques from archaeology and the natural sciences. Special focus is on environmental and social changes in the wake of the Black Death. Pollen and tree-ring data are used to gain new insights into farm abandonment and agricultural change, and to point to the important environmental and ecological consequences of the crisis. The archaeological record shows that the crisis was not only characterized by abandonment and decline, but also how families and households survived by swiftly developing new strategies during these uncertain times. Finally, stature and isotope studies are applied to human skeletons from medieval churchyards to reveal changes in health and living conditions during the crisis. The conclusions are put in wider perspective that highlights the close relationship between society and the environment and the historical importance of past epidemics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,642円
