Remote Sensing Digital Image Analysis

An Introduction

Scientific Data Analysis

An Introduction to Overdetermined Systems

This monograph is concerned with overdetermined systems, inconsistent systems with more equations than unknowns, in scientific data reduction. It is not a text on statistics, numerical methods, or matrix cOmputations, although elements of all three, especially the latter, enter into the discussion. The reader I have in mind is a scientist or engineer who has gathered data that he or she wants to model by a mathematical system, perhaps linear, perhaps nonlinear, and solve to obtain the best estimates, in some sense of the term "best," of various parameters. Because the calculations will be performed on a digital computer, the first chapter discusses floating-point numbers and their effect on mathematical operations. The chapter ends with some methods for accurately summing floating-point numbers, an operation frequently required in numerical work and one often done by the worst possible method, recursive summation. Chapter 2 gives a brief review of linear algebra and includes vector and matrix norms and condition numbers of matrices and linear systems. ' Chapter 3 presents some ideas for manipulating sparse matrices. Frequently, time or memory can be saved by use of sparse matrix techniques. The subject is extensive and the chapter is only indicative of the many techniques available. Although Chapter 3 is somewhat extraneous to the rest of the book, Chapter 5, on linear least squares, makes use of the compressed storage mode for the symmetric matrices discussed in Chapter 3.

Immigration and American Popular Culture

An Introduction

How does a 'national' popular culture form and grow over time in a nation comprised of immigrants? How have immigrants used popular culture in America, and how has it used them? Immigration and American Popular Culture looks at the relationship between American immigrants and the popular culture industry in the twentieth century. Through a series of case studies, Rachel Rubin and Jeffrey Melnick uncover how specific trends in popular culture—such as portrayals of European immigrants as gangsters in 1930s cinema, the zoot suits of the 1940s, the influence of Jamaican Americans on rap in the 1970s, and cyberpunk and Asian American zines in the1990s—have their roots in the complex socio-political nature of immigration in America. Supplemented by a timeline of key events and extensive suggestions for further reading, Immigration and American Popular Culture offers at once a unique history of twentieth century U.S. immigration and an essential introduction to the major approaches to the study of popular culture. Melnick and Rubin go further to demonstrate how completely and complexly the processes of immigration and cultural production have been intertwined, and how we cannot understand one without the other.

Remote Sensing Digital Image Analysis

An Introduction

Remote Sensing Digital Image Analysis provides the non-specialist with an introduction to quantitative evaluation of satellite and aircraft derived remotely retrieved data. Each chapter covers the pros and cons of digital remotely sensed data, without detailed mathematical treatment of computer based algorithms, but in a manner conductive to an understanding of their capabilities and limitations. Problems conclude each chapter. This fourth edition has been developed to reflect the changes that have occurred in this area over the past several years. Its focus is on those procedures that seem now to have become part of the set of tools regularly used to perform thematic mapping. As with previous revisions, the fundamental material has been preserved in its original form because of its tutorial value; its style has been revised in places and it has been supplemented if newer aspects have emerged in the time since the third edition appeared. It still meets, however, the needs of the senior student and practitioner.

La rivoluzione digitale nel sistema bancario: strategie e casi di successo nel mondo

Il problema cruciale delle odierne banche commerciali è che non catturano efficacemente i ricavi attraverso i dispositivi mobili, il web, i tablet e altri canali, come fanno invece quasi tutti gli altri settori. Se vogliono sopravvivere, le banche devono aggiornarsi radicalmente. A quelle che si sentono incerte sul futuro e a quelle impegnate a cambiare, questo libro fornisce una mappa per orientarsi, per riprogettare servizi e procedure, per costruire nuove dinamiche di relazione con il cliente sulla base delle tecnologie odierne. Come tenere il passo della domanda dei clienti nel momento in cui utilizzano tecnologia mobile e tablet? Quali servizi nuovi offrire? Come proteggere le banche dagli attacchi informatici? Sono necessarie nuove, diverse filiali? Che tipo di personale assumere in una banca digitale? Il volume include non solo una estesa panoramica sulla rivoluzione digitale nel sistema bancario, ma anche un'analisi approfondita delle attività di banche emergenti come Barclays nel Regno Unito e mBank in Polonia, di nuove start-up come Metro Bank, di modelli di rottura come FIDOR Bank in Germania e un'introduzione agli ultimi modelli di finanza, come Zopa e Bitcoin. «Skinner è noto nel settore per le sue acute osservazioni su come la tecnologia sta cambiando il modello di business nel settore bancario. È una lettura imperdibile per chiunque sia interessato al futuro dei servizi finanziari». Kenneth Cline direttore esecutivo di "BAI Banking Strategies" «Le banche sono impreparate, incapaci e lente. Se non sono in grado di gestire le informazioni – il nucleo del denaro – allora forse dovrebbero uscire dai giochi. Una lettura davvero illuminante per chiunque creda che le banche potrebbero tornare al vecchio sistema dopo la crisi finanziaria». Michael Mainelli professore emerito del Gresham College di Londra «Skinner è forse il primo autore a prendere il polso del settore dei servizi finanziari non solo dal punto di vista europeo o americano, ma da una prospettiva davvero globale. Emmanuel Daniel fondatore e direttore editoriale di "The Asian Banker" «Chris Skinner ha dato un contributo importantissimo al dibattito sul passaggio alle banche digitali. Raccomando caldamente questa lettura. Brett King, autore di Bank 2.0 e fondatore di Moven «Chris Skinner è un grande esperto, un commentatore e un blogger di tecnologia nella finanza. In questo libro riunisce le sue opinioni su come cambierà l'erogazione di servizi finanziari quando le banche realizzeranno il proprio 'futuro digitale'. Forte di tre decenni di esperienza nello sviluppo della tecnologia bancaria, ci fornisce una guida preziosa e illustrata con una serie di interessanti case study, grazie alla quale potremo orientarci fra i cambiamenti che ci aspettano in questo vitale settore in rapido movimento.

Casting Light on Central Bank Digital Currencies

Digitalization is reshaping economic activity, shrinking the role of cash, and spurring new digital forms of money. Central banks have been pondering wheter and how to adapt. One possibility is central bank digital currency (CBDC)-- a widely accessible digital form of fiat money that could be legal tender. This discussion note proposes a conceptual framework to assess the case for CBDC adoption from the perspective of users and central banks. It discusses possible CBDC designs, and explores potential benefits and costs, with a focus on the impact on monetary policy, financial stability, and integrity. This note also surveys research and pilot studies on CBDC by central banks around the world.
