Review SECUNET SECURITY NETWORKS AG: Labor Productivity Benchmarks and International Gap Analysis / ICON Group International, Inc.:Though we heavily rely on historical performance, the figures reported in this report are not historical but are forecasts and projections for the coming fiscal year. The forecasts are updated quarterly. The source(s) for the various raw statistics include public filings, corporate releases, and various other data sources. Given a company's financial structure, the resulting figures are benchmarked across "leading competitors". In choosing the leading competitors, Icon Group chooses only those firms with sound financial situations or those not undergoing radical restructuring, or where random volatility, mergers, or bankruptcy affects financial performance. Since the calculation of competitors' labor ratios proceeds in a similar fashion, but are aggregated across all competitors, one can directly conduct a gap analysis. Here, Icon Group graphically reports, for each labor productivity area the larger gaps that the firm has vis-a-vis the leading competitors. A gap need not be a bad sign. Rather, it is simply a substantial difference that might merit further attention or signal a firm's relative strength or weakness for the coming fiscal year.

Review HEARTLAND WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS, INC.: Labor Productivity Benchmarks and International Gap Analysis (Labor Productivity Series) / Icon Group International:Are the combined human resources at HEARTLAND WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. productive? There is no absolute answer to this question. This report considers the extent to which the company's labor deployment indicators differ from global benchmarks. In this report we consider forecasts of differences between labor ratios and the resulting return on this human investment compared to global benchmarks; the estimation of such differences is commonly called a "gap analysis. " What is the ratio of short-term and long-term assets to employee? What are typical capital-labor ratios? How different are these ratios to companies serving the same link in the value chain? What are the average sales and net profits per employee compared to global benchmarks? These and over 50 other indicators of labor productivity are considered in this report. The report does so by going beyond traditional analyses by considering companies competing in the same or similar industrial classification at a global level. The goal of this report, therefore, is to assist consultants, human resource managers, strategic planners, and corporate officers in gauging estimates of a company's human resource indicators compared to firms competing or participating in the same economic sector, at the global level. This report is not about whether a particular company or industry has performed well or poorly in the past or will do so in the future. With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of entry barriers, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company's human resource indicators against other firms on a worldwide basis. Doing so, however, is not an obvious task. [+]First, one needs to find firms competing in the same sector, but not necessarily competing directly with the company in local markets. These firms should not be perceived, therefore, to be direct competitors to the company in question, but simply those that have been classified by various sources (e. g. EDGAR or similar foreign filings), as competing to serve customers in the same link of the value chain, or broad industrial classification, as identified by SIC, NAICS or similar codes. Second, given the international nature of the task, one needs to control for exchange rate volatility. Finally, one needs use comparable financial standards. This report overcomes these issues and gives full human resources benchmarks vis-a-vis worldwide competitors who are present in the same narrow industrial classification. Benchmarks cover labor-asset ratios, labor-liability ratios, and labor-income ratios. Since our reports are printed on demand, the statistics reported are for the latest quarter and are the most up to date available (4 updates are produced each year). Each report provides over 100 statistics and 40 graphs to the reader. This reports is on HEARTLAND WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. , PLANO, USA.

Review Petrinetze: Eine Einführung (Studienreihe Informatik) / Springer:1 d Petrinetze sind für den Entwurf und die Analyse nicht-sequentieller (paralleler) Prozesse und Systeme geeignet. Insbesondere im Hardware- und Software-Entwurf und in der Systemspezifikation werden sie erfolgreich angewendet. Das Buch führt in die grundlegenden Begriffe und Methoden des Gebietes ein. In drei Teilen werden Netze aus Bedingungen und Ereignissen, Stellen/Transitionen-Netze und schließlich Netze mit beliebigen (individuellen) Marken behandelt. Bei den Analysemethoden werden Fakten, Synchronieabstände und Invarianten ausführlich besprochen - also Methoden, die nicht auf sequentiellen Realisierungen paralleler Prozesse beruhen. Der dritte Teil behandelt den Fakten- und Invariantenkalkül für Prädikat/Ereignis-Netze. Das Buch gibt eine geschlossene, einheitliche Darstellung der Grundbegriffe und typischen Anwendungen der Netztheorie. Es bereitet den Leser darauf vor, Petrinetze angemessen anzuwenden und die Spezialliteratur zu lesen.

Review SECUNET SECURITY NETWORKS AG: International Competitive Benchmarks and Financial Gap Analysis / ICON Group International, Inc.:Though we heavily rely on historical performance, the figures reported in this report are not historical but are forecasts and projections for the coming fiscal year. The forecasts are updated quarterly. This particular report was updated in the last quarter. In order to maintain comparability over time and across companies and countries, we use an index system. In the case of a firm's assets, we treat the total assets as equaling 100, irrespective of the value of the local currency. All other assets are then calculated as a percent from total assets. In this way, the structure of the firm's assets can be easily interpreted and compared with international benchmarks. For liabilities, total liabilities and equity are indexed to equal to 100. For the income statement, total revenue is indexed to equal 100, and all other figures are calculated as a percent of these figures. Ratios are projected using raw financial statistics and, as ratios, are therefore comparable. [+]The source(s) for the various raw statistics include public filings, corporate releases, and various other data sources. Given a company's financial structure, the resulting figures are benchmarked across "leading competitors".

Review Volumetric Image Analysis / Wiley:Volumetric, or three-dimensional, digital imaging now plays a vital role in many areas of research such as medicine and geology. Medical images acquired by tomographic scanners for instance are often given as a stack of cross-sectional image slices. Such images are called volumetric because they depict objects in their entire three-dimensional extent rather than just as a projection onto a two-dimensional image plane. Since huge amounts of volumetric data are continually being produced in many places around the world, techniques for their automatic analysis become ever more important. Written by a computer vision specialist, this clear, detailed account of volumetric image analysis techniques provides a practical approach to the field including the following topics:preprocessing of volumetric imagesobtaining quantitative measurements in volumetric imagesdetection and modelling of objects in volumetric imagesTo students without prior knowledge of computer vision this book will serve as a self-contained comprehensive introduction. Experienced practitioners and researchers will find it a helpful reference and a source of high level case material.
