Boostées par les nouvelles technologies, les plateformes que sont Uber et Airbnb, mais aussi Facebook et Google, sont les nouveaux intermédiaires d'aujourd'hui. Mettant en relation des utilisateurs ou différents groupes d'utilisateurs et leur permettant d'interagir, ces plateformes connaissent un succès phénoménal, à la hauteur des bouleversements et des craintes qu'elles font naître. Fondé sur l'expertise internationalement reconnue des auteurs, ce livre s'appuie sur de multiples exemples pour percer à jour les raisons d'un tel succès sans en ignorer les échecs. Il montre quelles sont les règles de fonctionnement des plateformes, en quoi elles se différencient des entreprises classiques et comment elles sont en train de transformer l'économie mondiale, obligeant les autres entreprises à se réinventer pour survivre. « Ce livre est passionnant de bout en bout. Il offrira matière à réflexion aux acteurs économiques ainsi qu'à tous ceux et toutes celles qui voudront mieux comprendre l'évolution de notre économie et de notre société. » JeanTirole, prix Nobel d'économie 2014.

Autour d'Honor : le titre du premier recueil devient aussi celui de la série complémentaire où David Weber invite plusieurs de ses confrères à écrire dans l'univers qu'il a élaboré au fil de ses romans. Les mondes d'Honor présente cinq nouvelles dont deux de Weber lui-même, et l'une met en scène Honor Harrington en personne. À l'exception de Pilonnage d'artillerie, elles s'inscrivent historiquement avant le cycle qui commence avec Mission Basilic, et les chats sylvestres de Sphinx y ont encore la part belle.
Ces textes enrichissent la série principale, développent certains personnages et certains épisodes qui n'y sont qu'évoqués, ils nournissent enfin un surcroît de chair à ce qui est aujourd'hui la somme la plus ambitieuse de la s.-f. politico-militaire.

L'éducation non formelle pose un véritable défi aux planificateurs de l'éducation. En quoi consiste-t-elle ? À quelles fins peut-elle et doit-elle servir ? Peut-on la planifier et, si oui, comment ? En tant que branche de l'éducation nouvellement reconnue, attirant de plus en plus l'attention et les ressources, l'éducation non formelle doit être incorporée, d'une certaine manière, au domaine de compétence des planificateurs de l'éducation. Cette étude offre une base de compréhension des conditions prévalant actuellement sur le terrain ; elle comporte aussi une esquisse de certaines stratégies initiales, permettant d'incorporer l'éducation non formelle dans l'ensemble de l'action des planificateurs de l'éducation. Il convient de souligner le caractère opportun de ce sujet, car il coïncide avec une prise de conscience accrue du fait que le développement de l'éducation - et le développement en général - se voient arrêtés à un certain point, dans le cadre d'une structure planifiée et contrôlée au niveau central. Le franchissement de ce point exige un degré croissant de participation et d'engagement des éventuels bénéficiaires. L'éducation non formelle offre un mécanisme potentiel, permettant des réactions de nature éducative face à cet élan.

This timely volume brings together expert reviews of the recent significant advances in our knowledge and understanding of the organisation of the higher plant nucleus, and in particular in the relationship between nuclear organisation and the regulation of gene expression. Rapid progress has been made in a number of key areas over the last five years, including description and characterization of proteins of the nuclear envelope and nuclear pore complex, novel insights into nucleoskeletal structures, as well as developments related to chromatin organization, function and gene expression. These advances open the way for new research into areas such as stress tolerance, plant-pathogen interactions and ultimately crop improvement and food security. Continued research into plant nuclear structure, genome architecture and gene regulation also enriches our understanding of the origin and evolution of the nucleus and its envelope. Edited by world-class researchers in plant cell biology, and comprising contributions from internationally-renowned academics, this latest volume in the prestigious Annual Plant Reviews series brings together a wealth of knowledge in the burgeoning field of plant nuclear structure and genetics. Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 46: Plant Nuclear Structure, Genome Architecture and Gene Regulation is a vital resource for advanced students, researchers and professionals in plant science and related disciplines. Libraries in all research establishments where plant science, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and genomics and agricultural science are taught and studied will find this excellent volume an essential addition to their shelf.
Provides the first comprehensive review of the current state of the science on tills It is critical that glacial scientists continue to refine their interpretations of ancient archives of subglacial processes, specifically those represented by tills and associated deposits, as they form the most widespread and accessible record of processes at the ice-bed interface. Unfortunately, despite a long history of investigation and a lexicon of process-based nomenclature, glacial sedimentologists have yet to reach a consensus on diagnostic criteria for identifying till genesis in the geological record. What should be called till? Based on the author's extensive field research, as well as the latest literature on the subject, this book attempts to provide a definitive answer to that question. It critically reviews the global till literature and experimental and laboratory-based assessments of subglacial processes, as well as the theoretical constructs that have emerged from process sedimentology over the past century. Drawing on a wide range of knowledge bases, David Evans develops a more precise, contemporary till nomenclature and new investigatory strategies for understanding a critical aspect of glacial process sedimentology. Provides an in-depth discussion of subglacial sedimentary processes, with an emphasis on the origins of till matrix and terminal grade and the latest observations on till evolution Describes contemporary laboratory and modelling experiments on till evolution and techniques for measuring strain signatures in glacial deposits Develops an updated till nomenclature based on an array of knowledge bases and describes new strategies for field description and analysis of glacial diamictons Written by an internationally recognised expert in the field, this book represents an important step forward in the modern understanding of glacial process sedimentology. As such, Till: A Glacial Process Sedimentology is an indispensable resource for advanced undergraduates and researchers in sedimentology, glacier science and related areas.
The only resource available to help calculate investment value versus fair market value
Whether buying or selling, the question of "what's it worth?" is multifaceted. In an M&A setting, it is necessary to compute fair market value, but it is far more important to compute investment value-the value of the target company to a strategic buyer. This calculation varies with each prospective buyer, depending on synergies, benefits, and other competitive analyses that are seldom involved in business valuation. Valuation for M&A is the first book to focus on valuation for merger and acquisitions. This groundbreaking guide provides document request checklists, sample interview questions, a format for adjusting financial statements, a format for developing discount rates, a format for computation of net cash flow, and a valuation reconciliation form, all to help senior executives and M&A professionals better negotiate a successful deal.
Frank C. Evans is a certified business appraiser (CBA), Accredited Senior Business Appraiser in Business Valuation (ASA), and CPA (accredited in business valuation) and David M. Bishop is a Master Certified Business Appraiser (MCBA), Accredited Senior Business Appraiser in Business Valuation (ASA), Fellow of the Institute of Business Appraisers (FIBA), and Business Valuator Accredited for Litigation (BVAL).
The second edition of the International Handbook of Lifelong Learning is extensive, innovative, and international in scope, remit and vision, inviting its readers to engage in a critical re-appraisal of the theme of "lifelong learning". It is a thorough-going, rigorous and scholarly work, with profound and wide-ranging implications for the future of educating institutions and agencies of all kinds in the conception, planning and delivery of lifelong learning initiatives. Lifelong learning requires a wholly new philosophy of learning, education and training, one that aims to facilitate a coherent set of links and pathways between work, school and education, and recognises the necessity for government to give incentives to industry and their employees so they can truly "invest" in lifelong learning. It is also a concept that is premised on the understanding of a learning society in which everyone, independent of race, creed or gender, is entitled to quality learning that is truly excellent.This book recognises the need for profound changes in education and for goals that are critically important to education, economic advancement, and social involvement. To those concerned about the future of our society, our economy and educational provision, this book provides a richly illuminating basis for powerful debate. Drawing extensively on policy analyses, conceptual thinking and examples of informed and world-standard practice in lifelong learning endeavours in the field, both editors and authors seek to focus readers' attention on the many issues and decisions that must be addressed if lifelong learning is to become a reality for us all.

This monograph is dedicated to the lives and scientific achievements of the physiology pioneers Warren and Margaret Lewis. Their story spans the first half of the 20th century, from their respective educations through early, independent research to joint research from 1910 to 1955. Among the numerous developments they initiated, were the discovery of pinocytosis, the beginnings of video microscopy and the development of the first mammalian tissue cultures. Their research expanded the theoretical knowledge of cell structure and function. On a more practical level, they advanced many laboratory methods, like the first recipes for culture media. The text is beautifully enriched with personal anecdotes about their lives.
This is the story of two scientific pioneers in the context of early 20th century biology and physiology. It is an inspiration for senior and aspiring researchers.
This volume offers a comprehensive history of the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL), one of the major marine laboratories in the United States and a leader in using marine organisms to study fundamental physiological concepts. Beginning with its founding as the Harpswell Laboratory of Tufts University in 1898, David H. Evans follows its evolution from a teaching facility to a research center for distinguished renal and epithelial physiologists. He also describes how it became the site of major advances in cytokinesis, regeneration, cardiac and vascular physiology, hepatic physiology, endocrinology and toxicology, as well as studies of the comparative physiology of marine organisms. Fundamental physiological concepts in the context of the discoveries made at the MDIBL are explained and the social and administrative history of this renowned facility is described.
