Incorporate the Benefits of Activity-Based Costing into the Efficiencies of Your SAP R/3 System Given SAP’s dominance in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) market, many companies and their managers encounter SAP AG applications in some form or another. Many of these organizations have recognized the value of utilizing Activity-Based Costing/Management concepts to perform more accurate cost assignments or drive performance initiatives. Managers are then faced with trying to determine how Activity-Based Costing can be incorporated into the SAP environment. The 123s of ABC in SAP is the

This unique text shows students and professionals how geographic information systems (GIS) can guide decision making about complex community and environmental problems. The authors’ step-by-step introduction to GIS-based decision analysis methods and techniques covers important urban and regional issues (land, transportation, and water resource management) and decision processes (planning, improvement programming, and implementation). Real-world case studies demonstrate how GIS-based decision support works in a variety of contexts, with a special focus on community and regional sustainabilit

The process of institutional reform is quite complex. Most countries undertake the types of fundamental institutional reforms that shift boundaries between the public and private sectors less than once in each generation. The "Port Reform Toolkit" offers background information, as well as concrete examples and specific tools and methods that can be used to make effective, sustainable reforms of public institutions. It brings together practical institutional designs and transferable modalities for increasing private sector involvement without compromising the public interest. The CD-ROM is made

"Let Them Go Free" offers families a way to cope with a problem particular to our time: what to do when medical treatment sustains life but does not cure or resuscitate a critically ill loved one. This straightforward and empathic guide helps such families affirm that their choice to remove life support is morally acceptable, warranted, and made in the spirit of love and care for the patient. With an emphasis on maintaining openness and trust among all involved in the decision-making process, this helpful guide skillfully addresses the questions that must be asked to assess the best course of

In recent years, the support vector machine (SVM), a new data processing method, has been applied to many fields of chemistry and chemical technology. Compared with some other data processing methods, SVM is especially suitable for solving problems of small sample size, with superior prediction performance. SVM is fast becoming a powerful tool of chemometrics. This book provides a systematic approach to the principles and algorithms of SVM, and demonstrates the application examples of SVM in QSAR/QSPR work, materials and experimental design, phase diagram prediction, modeling for the optimal c

This book is designed to be 1) a resource book on clinical decision support systems for informatics specialists; 2) a textbook for teachers or students in health informatics or medical informatics training programs; and 3) a comprehensive introduction for clinicians, with or without expertise in the applications of computers in medicine, who are interested in learning about current developments in computer-based diagnostic systems. In recent years, it has become obvious that other health professionals, in addition to physicians, have needs for decision support and that the issues raised in
