Описание: This book presents an analysis of five anticorruption agencies (ACAs) from Serbia, Macedonia and Croatia, exploring the impact of organisational factors and leadership on their enforcement patterns during the first decade of the transitional reforms (2001-2012). Contrary to the conventional theory of agency insulation, the analysis reveals that the ACAs’ de facto autonomy was not crucially shaped by their statutory independence, but rather by the reputational management of their leaders. The book draws on a mixture of qualitative and quantitative analysis to document these reputational strategies and how they shaped the ACAs’ de facto autonomy. The findings also suggest that that the ACAs’ organisational model – defined by the delegated mandate and powers (preventative vs suppressive) – represented a key variable that mediated under which conditions high de facto autonomy can be achieved. The book offers contributions to the study of anticorruption policy and ethics regulation, as well as the wider inquiry into drivers of agency independence, particularly in transitional contexts.
Описание: This special 40th anniversary paperback edition combines Vol. 1 and Vol. 4 into this 630-page paperback edition to commemorate the discovery in 1976 of the State-Space Averaging Method, the new Cuk-type converters and the general magnetics methods of Coupled -Inductors and Integrated Magnetics. Many generations of engineers used this material as one of the first textbooks to get into emerging field of Power Electronics and learn the basics. One of my many PhD students, a professor of Power Electronics for many years, recently commented: "This Power Electronics Series represents a Big Bang in the History of Power Electronics " Another well respected industry expert commented: "You should all read everything that Dr. Cuk has ever written ". This material is essential for the understanding of my upcoming books: Volume 5 titled Power Electronics: A New Beginning and Volume 6 titled Power Electronics for the 22nd Century. The State-Space Averaging and Cuk converters presented here led to critical re-evaluation of the conventional buck, boost, flyback, forward, bridge type and LLC converters which dominated industry for last 60 years The time has now come for them to be replaced by new Power Electronics System Technology based on three new Resonant/PWM type switching methods and related novel converter topologies and new magnetics structures The present edition is a key basic stepping stone toward that goal.
Описание: This new Volume 4 brings together in one place the exposition of State-space Averaging Method and the Cuk converter as described in December 1976 doctorate thesis of Prof. Cuk. The Cuk converter, invented on April 1, 1975, was a prime motivator for development of this general analysis and synthesis method. Professor Middlebrook lamented in 1981: ..". If the models for all such converters are the same, it should be possible to derive this unique model without having to specify in advance any particular converter. This problem was solved in a very elegant manner by Slobodan Cuk. In his 1976 PhD thesis he introduced the analysis method of State-Space Averaging, which in a single stroke eliminates the switching process from consideration and exposes the desired dynamic response. From this model came the same unique small signal equivalent circuit model, which is now called the canonical model. Again with the clarity of insight, the form of the model becomes "obvious" it contains the three essential properties of any DC to DC converter, namely DC conversion, low pass filter and conversion ratio adjustment by a control signal." Also included in this new volume 4 are three key US patents describing not only basic Cuk converter and its Isolated Cuk converter extensions, but also new general magnetics concepts: Coupled-Inductor and Integrated Magnetics. They are now proven to be equally beneficial for new switching methods and novel topologies invented recently by Dr. Cuk. After 40 years since its development, the enclosed description still remains as the most authoritative description. Subsequent Circuit Averaging modifications failed to justify the claim of "better insight" into converter models and Switch Averaged models failed to confirm the ease of use claim. Both "methods" are not even capable to model simple extensions such as addition of a voltage clamp let alone more complex topologies such as fundamentally new topologies with three switches only, invented by Dr. Cuk recently. The application of the State-space Averaging method also speeds-up naturally thousand times switching converter simulations and eliminates the inherent convergence and accuracy problems of all present simulation methods.

Описание:
In Slobodan Milosevic and the Destruction of Yugoslavia former U.S. foreign service officer Louis Sell fills a gap in the literature on the Yugoslav conflicts by covering both the domestic Yugoslav side of the collapse and the history and consequences of international interventions in the wars in Slovenia and Croatia in 1991, Bosnia in 1992–1995, and Kosovo from 1998–1999. Sell focuses on the life and career of Milosevic, from the perspective of both a diplomatic insider intimately familiar with the region and a scholar who has researched all the available English and Serbo-Croatian sources. Sell spent much of his diplomatic career in Eastern Europe and Russia, including eight years in Yugoslavia between 1974 and 2000, and witnessed the events that contributed to the dissolution and ultimate destruction of Yugoslavia. In Slobodan Milosevic and the Destruction of Yugoslavia he provides first-hand observations of Milosevic from the heady days of his rise to power and, later, in the endgame of the Bosnian war, including the Dayton Peace Conference. Drawing on a wide range of published material as well as interviews with Yugoslav and foreign participants, Sell covers such areas as Milosevic’s relationship to the military, his responsibility for war crimes, his methods of persuasion and negotiation, and his notoriously explosive personality.

Summary
Serverless Applications with Node.js walks you through building serverless apps on AWS using JavaScript. Inside, you'll discover what Claudia.js brings to the table as you build and deploy a scalable event-based serverless application, based around a pizzeria that's fully integrated with AWS services, including Lambda and API Gateway. Each chapter is filled with exercises, examples, tips, and more to make sure you're ready to bring what you've learned into your own work.
Foreword by Gojko Adzic.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
About the Technology
The benefits of cloud-hosted serverless web apps are undeniable: lower complexity, quicker time to market, and easier scalability than traditional, server-dependent designs. And thanks to JavaScript support in AWS Lambda and powerful new serverless API tools like the Claudia.js library, you can build and deploy serverless apps end to end without learning a new language.
About the Book
Serverless Applications with Node.js teaches you to design and build serverless web apps on AWS using JavaScript, Node, and Claudia.js. You'll master the basics of writing AWS Lambda functions, along with core serverless patterns like API Gateway. Along the way, you'll practice your new skills by building a working chatbot and a voice assistant with Amazon Alexa. You'll also discover techniques for migrating existing apps to a serverless platform.
