Book Synopsis Communication by : Judith Ann Pauley
Download or read book Communication written by Judith Ann Pauley and published by Quality Press. This book was released on 2008-12-12 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the concepts explained in this book, one CEO grew his company from $85 million to $100 million. A Vice President added $10 million to his bottom line in one year. A CEO who is a turnaround specialist successfully led two restaurant chains from near bankruptcy to sustained profitability. Other leaders have used these concepts successfully in improving team cohesiveness and productivity, in negotiating, in dealing with boards of directors, in fundraising, in education to raise the academic achievement of their students, and in many other ways. These and many other stories are used in this book to explain the concepts and connect theory to practice in ways that enable the busy leader to understand how to apply them in their daily lives. Renowned trainers Judy and Joe Pauley describe for you the six personality types: Reactor, Workaholic, Persister, Dreamer, Rebel, and Promoter. Since no person fits neatly into one single category, they present a nuanced view of these types and the different “floors” of all of our personalities. The book then describes the needs and perceptions of each of the personality types, and the channels and interaction styles you can use to reach each of them. The concepts described in this book are scientifically based and have withstood nearly 40 years of scrutiny and scientific inquiry. They are also universal, having been proven effective everywhere they’ve been used—in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

Book Synopsis Scalability and Reliability of Phase Change Memory by : SangBum Kim
Download or read book Scalability and Reliability of Phase Change Memory written by SangBum Kim and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2010 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various memory devices are being widely used for a wide range of applications. There has not been any universal memory device so far because each memory device has a unique set of features. Large performance gaps in various dimensions of features between memory devices and a new set of features required by new electronic systems such as portable electronics open up new opportunities for new memory devices to emerge as mainstream memory devices. Besides, the imminent scaling limit for existing mainstream memory devices also motivates development and research of new memory devices which can meet the increasing demand for large memory capacity. Phase change memory (PCM) is one of the most promising emerging memory devices. It has the potential to combine DRAM-like features such as bit alteration, fast read and write, and good endurance and Flash-like features such as non-volatility and a simple structure. PCM is expected to be a highly scalable technology extending beyond scaling limit of existing memory devices. Prototypical PCM chips have been developed and are being tested for targeted memory applications. However, understanding of fundament physics behind PCM operation is still lacking because the key material in PCM devices, the chalcogenide, is relatively new for use in solid state devices. Evaluation and development of PCM technology as successful mainstream memory devices require more study on PCM devices. This thesis focuses on issues relevant to scalability and reliability of PCM which are two of the most important qualities that new emerging memory devices should demonstrate. We first study basic scaling rule based on thermoelectric analysis on the maximum temperature in a PCM cell and show that both isotropic and non-isotropic scaling result in constant programming voltage. The minimum programming voltage is determined by material properties such as electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity regardless of the device size. These results highlight first-order principles governing scaling rules. In the first-order scaling rule analysis, we assume that material properties are constant regardless of its physical size. However, when materials are scaled down to the nanometer regime, material properties can change because the relative contribution from the surface property to the overall system property increases compared to that from the bulk property. We study scaling effect on material property and device characteristics using a novel device structure -- a PCM cell with a pseudo electrode. With the pseudo electrode PCM cell, we can accurately relate the observed properties to the amorphous region size. We show that threshold switching voltage scales linearly with thickness of the amorphous region and threshold switching field drifts in time after programming. We also show that the drift coefficient for resistance drift stays the same for scaled devices. These property scaling results provide not only estimates for scaled device characteristics but also clues for modeling and understanding mechanisms for threshold switching and drift. To make scaled memory cells in an array form, not only memory device elements but also selection devices need to be scaled. PCM requires relatively large programming current, which makes it challenging to scale down selection devices. We integrate Ge nanowire diodes as selection devices in search for new candidates for high density PCM. Ge nanowire diode provides on/off ratio of ~100 and small contact area of 40 nm in diameter which results in programming current below 200 [mu]A. The processing temperature for Ge nanowire diode is below 400°C, which makes Ge nanowire diode a potential enabler for 3D integration. As memory devices are scaled down, more serious reliability issues arise. We study the reliability of PCM using a novel structure -- micro-thermal stage (MTS). The high-resistance-state (RESET) resistance and threshold switching voltage are important device characteristics for reliable operation of PCM devices. We study the drift behavior of RESET resistance and threshold switching voltage and its temperature dependence using the MTS. Results show that the drift coefficient increases proportionally to annealing temperature until it saturates. The analytical drift model for time-varying annealing temperature that we derive from existing phenomenological drift models agrees well with the measurement results. The analytical drift model can be used to estimate the impact of thermal disturbance (program disturbance) on RESET resistance and threshold switching voltage. Thermal disturbance is a unique disturbance mechanism in PCM which is caused by thermal diffusion from a cell being programmed. The MTS can effectively emulate the short heat pulse, enabling detailed study on thermal disturbance impact on cell characteristics. We show that random thermal disturbance can result in at least 25 and 100 % variations in RESET resistance and threshold switching voltage. The existing model on how to add up the impact of thermal disturbance on crystallization is experimentally verified using the MTS. Based on measurement and modeling results, we propose a new programming scheme to improve stability of PCM with a short-time annealing pulse.

Download or read book Best Friends written by Terri Apter and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2010-02-10 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best Friends provides the missing link to understanding and recognizing the impact of some of the most important relationships in girls' and women's lives. Every woman remembers the sting of betrayal of a girlfriend, and every parent of a daughter has seen her come home from school in tears because a girl she thought was her best friend suddenly and inexplicably became her enemy. While boys hash out differences with fists and kicks, girls' societies are marked by secrets and whispers and shifting affection. The lessons learned as an adolescent girl are often carried into adulthood, making women fear confrontation--especially with other women. But the intensity of the struggles reflects the support and healing to be found within these friendships. Girls find themselves in the mirror of other girls, hence the power each has to influence the other. Ruthellen Josselson and Terri Apter's many years of working with hundreds of girls and women have given them insight into the emotionally important relationships that are integral to a girl's self-image. Best Friends explores the bonds of friendship between girls and between women and the sorrows and joys they experience together, from early adolescence and throughout their lives.

Download or read book Extremely Online written by Taylor Lorenz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For over a decade, Taylor Lorenz has been the authority on Internet culture, documenting its far-reaching effects on all corners of our lives. Her reporting is serious yet entertaining and illuminates deep truths about ourselves and the lives we create online. In her debut book, Extremely Online, she reveals how online influence came to upend the world, demolishing traditional barriers and creating whole new sectors of the economy. Lorenz shows this phenomenon to be one of the most disruptive changes in modern capitalism. By tracing how the Internet has changed what we want and how we go about getting it, Lorenz unearths how social platforms' power users radically altered our expectations of content, connection, purchasing, and power. Lorenz documents how moms who started blogging were among the first to monetize their personal brands online, how bored teens who began posting selfie videos reinvented fame as we know it, and how young creators on TikTok are leveraging opportunities to opt out of the traditional career pipeline. It's the real social history of the Internet. Emerging seemingly out of nowhere, these shifts in how we use the Internet seem easy to dismiss as fads. However, these social and economic transformations have resulted in a digital dynamic so unappreciated and insurgent that it ultimately created new approaches to work, entertainment, fame, and ambition in the 21st century. Extremely Online is the inside, untold story of what we have done to the Internet, and what it has done to us"--
Book Synopsis How Enemies Become Friends by : Charles A. Kupchan
Download or read book How Enemies Become Friends written by Charles A. Kupchan and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-25 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How nations move from war to peace Is the world destined to suffer endless cycles of conflict and war? Can rival nations become partners and establish a lasting and stable peace? How Enemies Become Friends provides a bold and innovative account of how nations escape geopolitical competition and replace hostility with friendship. Through compelling analysis and rich historical examples that span the globe and range from the thirteenth century through the present, foreign policy expert Charles Kupchan explores how adversaries can transform enmity into amity—and he exposes prevalent myths about the causes of peace. Kupchan contends that diplomatic engagement with rivals, far from being appeasement, is critical to rapprochement between adversaries. Diplomacy, not economic interdependence, is the currency of peace; concessions and strategic accommodation promote the mutual trust needed to build an international society. The nature of regimes matters much less than commonly thought: countries, including the United States, should deal with other states based on their foreign policy behavior rather than on whether they are democracies. Kupchan demonstrates that similar social orders and similar ethnicities, races, or religions help nations achieve stable peace. He considers many historical successes and failures, including the onset of friendship between the United States and Great Britain in the early twentieth century, the Concert of Europe, which preserved peace after 1815 but collapsed following revolutions in 1848, and the remarkably close partnership of the Soviet Union and China in the 1950s, which descended into open rivalry by the 1960s. In a world where conflict among nations seems inescapable, How Enemies Become Friends offers critical insights for building lasting peace.

Download or read book Adult Friendship written by Rosemary Blieszner and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1992-06-10 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you have a best friend? If so, you probably share the same race and social status. Why is this so? Does social structure determine your choice of friends? Or do other factors cause you to choose friends? Co-authors Blieszner and Adams explore these issues and offer a theoretical framework which incorporates both sociological and psychological perspectives on friendship. They use this model to synthesize the research theoretically, identify gaps in the literature, scrutinize the methods used, and produce a map for future research. Adult Friendship also covers historical conceptions of friendship, the internal structure of friendship, and the phases of friendship. Clearly written yet scholarly, Adult Friendship is perfect for students, researchers and professionals in psychology, sociology, communication, gerontology, family studies and social work. "The analysis is ably argued, identifying the contributions to and gaps in the field and challenging others to give attention to the theoretical and methodological issues in the emerging research on adult friendship." --Contemporary Sociology "Adult Friendship is a noteworthy publication in the emerging area of the study of personal relationships. . . . A useful synthesis of theory and research on close relationships over the life cycle. . . . suitable for students and others wanting an introduction to the topic, yet also gives professionals more knowledgeable with this literature a fresh, distinctive perspective on it. . . .Blieszner and Adams′ chapters are concise and internally well organized. . . . a worthwhile read for researchers, students, practitioners, and laypersons concerned with the study of friendship across the life span." --Journal of Marriage & The Family "This volume is an important addition to the useful Sage Series on Close Relationships. It treats a topic that has been too frequently ignored in the area of close relationship research. . . . The coverage of the literature in this volume is especially good due to the tight organizational scheme that facilitates summaries of many different findings. . . . In sum, there is no doubt that both researchers and students will find this volume to be extremely useful.
