Diagnostic Study of Accounting and Auditing Arrangements: Mongolia (Asian Development Bank)

Book Description

This extensive study identifies the current accounting and auditing practices of Mongolia, analyzing issues like government budgeting, professional infrastructure, and donor assistance. In addition to commenting on the nation’s current financial situation, this study also recognizes potential economic deficiencies and provides an action plan to implement for future success.

Book Description

This book compiles state-of-the-art commentary on teamwork, team training, and team performance. It provides both practical and down-to-earth information on what we currently know about these topics from a research-based perspective, and foward-looking, theoretical views on where the field is going. The book focuses on three major topics: how teams are organized and function, the empirical research base, and applications of teamwork skills. This volume also discusses team taxonomic issues, the performance of individual team members, team performance evaluation, mathematical models, Petri nets, teamwork guidelines, and both military and civilian teamwork applications.

Book Description

Scientists and engineers around the world are striving to develop new sources of energy. One source, ocean thermal energy conversion, has virtually unlimited potential. It is based on techniques that exploit heat produced by solar energy that may, in turn, be used to produce fuel and electricity. This book reviews the status and background of this promising technology. William H. Avery is the leading expert in this field, and his co-author Chih Wu is an authority on heat engine performance. Together they describe the workings of an OTEC power plant and how such a system might be implemented as part of a futuristic national energy strategy. The book is the only detailed presentation of basic OTEC technology, its testing and improvement. It is based on extensive development initiatives undertaken internationally during the period from 1974 through 1985. The book offers a thorough assessment of the economics of OTEC in comparison with other energy production methods. It will be of interest to a wide range of professionals in energy research, power and mechanical engineering, and to upper-level undergraduate students taking courses in these fields.

This is the most comprehensive resource of the science of OTEC. It is only for those who are serious in exploring this science of continuous solar energy from the oceans. It is presented as a science textbook at the college level. Simply excellent!

Book Description

Foreword by Dr D. A. Elliott, Open University Over the last decade or so, renewable energy technology has moved from the margins to the mainstream. Whereas once it was the dream of utopians, now we have British Trade and Industry Ministers talking of L2.5 billion market for the UK renewable energy industry and the government's Renewable Energy Advisory Group estimating that the renewable sources could contribute perhaps 20 per cent of the UK's electricity requirement by the year 2025. Although some work had been done earlier, the UK entered the renewable energy field seriously in 1974, following the first oil crisis. A total of some L230 million has been spent on a range of research and development projects. Wave power was initially seen as one of the front runners and some L15 million was spent on it before the "deep sea" wave programme was wound up in 1982. The decision to abandon deep sea wave power was the focus for much debate in which the author, David Ross, took a vigorous part. His book, Energy From the Waves, first published in 1979, provided unique coverage for the general reader, as well as for students of renewable energy, of the technology involved in capturing the energy of the waves and of the historical and political development of this novel technology. He has since followed the twists and turns of the debate over wave power and, while his investigative journalism and campaigning style have not endeared him to the energy establishment, his energetic exploration of the policy issues has provided us with a fascinating account of decision-making processes. The policy issues are now, if anything, more urgent than ever. With nuclear power widely seen as an unviable option, the development of renewable energy technologies, along with conservation techniques, are one way in which we can respond to the threat of global warming and other environmental problems. Clearly, some of his analysis is contentious. But then the topic is controversial, with interpretations of facts often still being in dispute. For example, in terms of the economics, all we have are estimates of likely costs. often based on purely conceptual systems, framed in contemporary short-term financial accounting contexts which usually ignore wider environmental considerations. Given this situation, it would probably be impossible to produce a totally independent and impartial review of the issues, or a "final conclusion" on wave power. The jury is still out. Accepting this limitation, although he is clearly a partisan for wave energy, Ross provides us with a unique insight into the issues of the technological decision-making process, an insight which may help us decide on the issues ourselves. Over the last decade or so, renewable energy technology has moved from the margins to the mainstream. By the year 2025 capturing the energy of waves could provide more than 20 per cent of the UK's electricity needs. And this clean, renewable power source would cause no environmental damage and no use of finite fossil fuel resources. This book explains how it could work, how experimental stations do work, and the politics and vested interests that have hindered and continue to hinder it.

Breakthrough Technology from a journalist perspective.......1999-09-30

This quite interesting historical overview of the field by D.R. is mostly targeted to an educated and mature audience of executives, inductrialists and politicians. Whilst it will offer a basic touch of technology presentation, it is primarily induced as an educated journalist's perspective. Ross, does rather well in revealing the subtle -or often quite abrupt- governing relations between societal and political momentum, as related to technological evolution, clearly portraying our interim feared notion, that rationality may not be an apparently governing issue in many respects afterall. Hidden aspects, may even reveal how biased technological results and unfavourable verdicts may be "orchestrated", by selective promotion of non-viable technology. A must for the insight-look seeker, would serve as a much more integral report, if a broader international rather than European pespective was covered.

Book Description

The Brunswick Valley School soccer team are not just bad -- they're terrible. They haven't won a game all season and they bicker endlessly amongst themselves. They're such a disaster that their coach resigns in disgust. When, by an administrative anomaly, they qualify for the season playoffs, the only person they can find to act as coach is their former kindergarten teacher, Miss Little, who applies the "rules of kindergarten" to the game. To everyone's surprise, they start to win. In this hilarious follow-up to Walker's Runners, a struggling team learns the true meaning of success.
