A must-read exploration of lock and physical security from a renowned author and expert In Tobias on Locks and Insecurity Engineering, renowned investigative attorney and physical security expert Marc Weber Tobias delivers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of how locks are designed, built, and -- ultimately -- defeated by criminals, spies, hackers, and even lockpickers. In the book, you'll discover the myriad ways that security experts and bad actors have compromised physical locks using everything from the newest 3D printers to 99-cent ballpoint pens. The book explores the origins of different lock designs and the mistakes that design engineers make when they create new locks. It explains the countless ways that locks remain at risk for attack. The author explains the latest lock designs and technology, as well as how to assess whether a specific solution will work for you depending on your individual security requirements and use case. You'll also find: Ways to differentiate between fatally flawed locks and solid, secure options Several relevant and real-world case examples of catastrophic lock design failures that led to monetary loss, property damage, or bodily harm Examinations of lock security from the perspectives of forced entry, covert entry, and key-control An instructive and indispensable roadmap to locks and physical security, Tobias on Locks and Insecurity Engineering is the perfect guide for security and information technology professionals, design engineers, risk managers, law enforcement personnel, intelligence agents, regulators, policymakers, investigators, lawyers, and more.

How do Chinas mobile individuals create a sense of home in a rapidly changing world? Unhomely life, different from houselessness, refers to a fluctuating condition between losing home feelings and the search for home -- a prevalent condition in post-Mao China. The faster that Chinese society modernizes, the less individuals feel at home, and the more they yearn for a sense of home. This is the central paradox that Xiaobo Su explores: how mobile individuals--lifestyle migrants and retreat tourists from China's big cities, displaced natives and rural migrants in peripheral China--handle the loss of home and try to experience a homely way of life. In Unhomely Life, Xiaobo Su examines the subjective experiences of mobile individuals to better understand why they experience the loss of home feelings and how they search for home. Integrating extensive empirical data and a robust theoretical framework, the author presents a journey-based critical analysis of "home" under constant making, un-making, and re-making in post-Mao China. Su argues that the making of home is not a solely economic or rational calculation for maximum return, but rather a synthesis of resistance and compromise under the disappointing conditions of modernity. Offering rich insights into the continuity and disruption of China's great transformation, Unhomely Life: Develops an original theory of unhomely life that incorporates contemporary research and traditional Chinese ideas of home Explores the process of homemaking and its implications for understanding the costs of high-speed economic growth in China Analyzes mobile individuals across different genders, ages, ethnicities, social classes, and economic backgrounds to address the balance between meaning and money in everyday life Containing in-depth and sophisticated empirical data collected from 2002 to 2020, Unhomely Life: Modernity, Mobilities, and the Making of Home in China is an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, lecturers, and academic researchers in cultural studies, migration, tourism, China studies, cultural anthropology, sociology, and social and cultural geography.

Discover theoretical, methodological, and applied perspectives on electron density studies and density functional theory Electron density or the single particle density is a 3D function even for a many-electron system. Electron density contains all information regarding the ground state and also about some excited states of an atom or a molecule. All the properties can be written as functionals of electron density, and the energy attains its minimum value for the true density. It has been used as the basis for a quantum chemical computational method called Density Functional Theory, or DFT, which can be used to determine various properties of molecules. DFT brings out a drastic reduction in computational cost due to its reduced dimensionality. Thus, DFT is considered to be the workhorse for modern computational chemistry, physics as well as materials science. Electron Density: Concepts, Computation and DFT Applications offers an introduction to the foundations and applications of electron density studies and analysis. Beginning with an overview of major methodological and conceptual issues in electron density, it analyzes DFT and its major successful applications. The result is a state-of-the-art reference for a vital tool in a range of experimental sciences. Readers will also find: A balance of fundamentals and applications to facilitate use by both theoretical and computational scientists Detailed discussion of topics including the Levy-Perdew-Sahni equation, the Kohn Sham Inversion problem, and more Analysis of DFT applications including the determination of structural, magnetic, and electronic properties Electron Density: Concepts, Computation and DFT Applications is ideal for academic researchers in quantum, theoretical, and computational chemistry and physics.

"Integrating ESG in Systematic Investing is unique in two respects. Firstly, given that ESG scores and policies are relevant at firm level, the book looks at integrating ESG in both equity and credit markets. Secondly, the book examines ESG through a fully quantitative and systematic lens, as opposed to existing ESG-related research, which tends to be mostly fundamental in nature. The book begins by setting out methods for measuring the ESG-specific risk premium, and moves on to cover ESG considerations in portfolio construction, the performance implications of companies' ESG Policies and the investment implications of a lack of uniformity in ESG Definitions."--

In recent years, groundbreaking computer-aided tools have emerged to facilitate and hasten the design of these circuits. Methods and Tools for Computer-aided Design of Multidimensional Filters in Signal Processing offers an introduction to these tools and their applications. It will focus particularly on VHDL, the most popular language used to describe hardware, and an essential tool in presenting circuits which are too complex to present graphically. Offering a design method based in C++ and a variety of techniques for fabricating integrated circuits, this is a must-own volume for researchers and engineers working on signal processing methods. Methods and Tools for Computer-aided Design of Multidimensional Filters in Signal Processing readers will also find: A design strategy based on gyrator-capacitor circuits as prototype filters Options for implementing circuits as either continuous or discrete time filters Concrete example of a filter implemented in SI technique Methods and Tools for Computer-aided Design of Multidimensional Filters in Signal Processing is ideal for researchers working on signal processing, as well as engineers, programmers, and other experts developing computer tools for filter design.
