Atomic Information Technology

Safety and Economy of Nuclear Power Plants

Atomic Information Technology revaluates current conceptions of the information technology aspects of the nuclear industry. Economic and safety research in the nuclear energy sector are explored, considering statistical methods which incorporate Monte-Carlo simulations for practical applications. Divided into three sections, Atomic Information Technology covers: Atomic economics and management, Atomic safety and reliability, and Atomic safeguarding and security. Either as a standalone volume or as a companion to conventional nuclear safety and reliability books, Atomic Information Technology acts as a concise and thorough reference on statistical assessment technology in the nuclear industry. Students and industry professionals alike will find this a key tool in expanding and updating their understanding of this industry and the applications of information technology within it.

The Public Issues

This volume records the processings of the Fulbright Colloquium on Information Technology: The Public Issues which was held at the University of Sout hampton from Tuesday 16 September to Friday 29 September 1986. The Fulbright Commission in London felt that an Anglo-American conference on this subject was particularly appropriate at this time. Information technology (IT) has been at the forefront of informed debate on both sides of the Atlantic for a number of years and has been recognised as an issue of major importance in both countries, affecting all strands of society.

Information Technology: Its Application On The Small Scale Industries Sector

This book entitled Information Technology Its Application on the SSI Sector is compilation of research papers presented in a UGC sponsored seminar organised at Cardamom Planters Association College Bodinayakanur (Madurai Kamaraj University) under the Directorship of Dr. S. Maria John, Reader in Commerce C.P.A. College Bodinayakanur. The seminar was organised mainly to focus the role of IT and its applications. Accordingly research papers were received from the faculty members of different universities and Colleges on different aspects of IT such as E-Commerce, E-Banking, Application of IT in the development of Entrepreneurship, especially SSI sector. As the contents of the articles were highly informative and are expected to be useful to the general public, research scholars, students and fellow faculty, all such articles are compiled in the form of a book. This publication is mainly intended as part of the effort in creating awareness among the readers about the need for applying IT in different walks of life.

Teaching English with Information Technology

How to teach English using information technology - for the professional English language teacher. This new practical guide for teachers provides an introduction to, and rationale for, using information technology when teaching English. The book explains how teachers can use e-learning in English language teaching. The topics covered include using email; the importance of the web in ELT (covers websites; using audio and video clips from the web, web activities, webquests and treasure hunts); using CD-ROMs; professional training on the web for online teacher training and online teaching communities; audio- and video-conferencing and text chat; learning management systems; and finally, using standalone software on desktop computers.

This book is aimed at teachers of English as a foreign or second language (
although much will be relevant to teachers of other languages), who wish to
incorporate information technology or e-learning into their current practices.

Geospatial Information Technology for Emergency Response

Disaster management is generally understood to consist of four phases: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. While these phases are all important and interrelated, response and recovery are often considered to be the most critical in terms of saving lives. Response is the acute phase occurring after the event, and includes all arrangements to remove detriments and a long-term inventory of supplies to deal with irreversible damage. The timely provision of geospatial information is crucial in the decision-making process, and can save lives and rescue citizens. The aim of this volume is to share technological advances that allow wider, faster and more effective utilization of geospatial information in emergency response situations. The volume describes current accomplishments and challenges in providing geospatial information with these attributes, and is organized in six parts: - Practice and legislation, with a focus on the utilization of geospatial information in recent disaster events, as well as resulting legislative attempts to share and access data. - Data collection and data products. - Data management and routing in 3D. - Emerging technologies, including positioning, virtual reality and simulation models. - Integration of heterogeneous data. - Applications and solutions. This volume is aimed at researchers, practitioners and students who work in the variety of disciplines related to geospatial information technology for emergency response, and represents the very best of current thinking from a number of pioneering studies over the past four years.

Success and Pitfalls of Information Technology Management

Some of the most powerful tools in the hands of educators, researchers and managers are documented cases based on real-life experiences of others. This is particularly true for IT implementation and implications. Success and Pitfalls of Information Technology Management is a collection of actual, real-life cases dealing with a variety of issues in the overall utilization of IT in organizations.

In response to increasing competition and cost pressures from managed-care
practices, healthcare organizations are turning to information technology (IT) to
increase efficiency of their operations and reach out to new patient markets.

The Impact of Information Technology

Evidence from the Healthcare Industry

The driving influence of managed care and cost containment is causing home care organizations to reconceptualize their roles in the health care delivery system while stimulating massive changes in agency structure, operations, and services. Medicare-certified home health agencies, which have flourished under a per-visit, fee-for-service reimbursement model, are increasingly delivering care under managed care reimbursement models. Conducted at this pivotal point in time, the book examines the intersection of two rapidly growing health care sectors: home health and managed care.The environment surrounding the transition from traditional reimbursement to managed care is uncertain and rapidly changing. Strategies organizations are using to cope with this uncertainty and HHA administrators' perceptions of the two greatest impacts of managed care are described.Despite considerable variation in agency characteristics, more similarities than differences are found among HHAs. The research concludes that market and environment pressures within heavily HMO-penetrated communities encourage all HHAs to become similar, regardless of whether the HHAs have managed care contracts.

Information technology (IT) has become important to the very survival of
organizations. Information technology spending in the U.S. has increased from a
few million dollars in 1970 to over $50 billion in 1990 (Jorgenson and Stiroh,
1995).

Being Fluent with Information Technology

Computers, communications, digital information, software-the constituents of the information age-are everywhere. Being computer literate, that is technically competent in two or three of today's software applications, is not enough anymore. Individuals who want to realize the potential value of information technology (IT) in their everyday lives need to be computer fluent-able to use IT effectively today and to adapt to changes tomorrow. Being Fluent with Information Technology sets the standard for what everyone should know about IT in order to use it effectively now and in the future. It explores three kinds of knowledge-intellectual capabilities, foundational concepts, and skills-that are essential for fluency with IT. The book presents detailed descriptions and examples of current skills and timeless concepts and capabilities, which will be useful to individuals who use IT and to the instructors who teach them.
