What is the relationship between the social performance of companies and their financial performance? More colloquially, can a firm effectively attend to both people and profits as it conducts its business? This question has been investigated in no fewer than 95 empirical studies published since 1972. The authors have assembled a compendium of this research to give researchers and practitioners alike a broad overview of these 95 studies and a systematic database detailing the content of each one. This book provides a comprehensive portrait of this research literature. It begins with a broad orientation to the literature, exploring why the link between social and financial performance has been subject to continual inquiry and often heated debate. The authors then present an integrated overview of the 95 studies. Through the charts and tables, the authors illuminate the nature of the studies conducted; the data samples selected for investigation; the ways in which financial and social performance have been measured; and the overall tally of results.

Metaphysics: A Contemporary Introduction is for students who have already completed an introductory philosophy course and need a fresh look at the central topics in the core subject of metaphysics. It is essential reading for any student of the subject. This Fourth Edition is revised and updated and includes two new chapters on (1) Parts and Wholes, and (2) Metaphysical Indeterminacy or vagueness. This new edition also keeps the user-friendly format, the chapter overviews summarizing the main topics, concrete examples to clarify difficult concepts, annotated further reading at the end of each chapter, endnotes, and a full bibliography.Topics addressed include: the problem of universals the nature of abstract entities the problem of individuation the nature of modality identity through time the nature of time the nature of parts and wholes the problem of metaphysical indeterminacy the Realism/anti-Realism debate. Wherever possible, Michael J. Loux and Thomas M. Crisp relate contemporary views to their classical sources in the history of philosophy. As experienced teachers of philosophy and important contributors to recent debates, Loux and Crisp are uniquely qualified to write this book.

In the 60's, the work of Anderson, Chernavski, Kirby and Edwards showed that the group of homeomorphisms of a smooth manifold which are isotopic to the identity is a simple group. This led Smale to conjecture that the group Diff''(M)o of cr diffeomorphisms, r ~ 1, of a smooth manifold M, with compact supports, and isotopic to the identity through compactly supported isotopies, is a simple group as well. In this monograph, we give a fairly detailed proof that DifF(M)o is a simple group. This theorem was proved by Herman in the case M is the torus rn in 1971, as a consequence of the Nash-Moser-Sergeraert implicit function theorem. Thurston showed in 1974 how Herman's result on rn implies the general theorem for any smooth manifold M. The key idea was to vision an isotopy in Diff''(M) as a foliation on M x [0, 1]. In fact he discovered a deep connection between the local homology of the group of diffeomorphisms and the homology of the Haefliger classifying space for foliations. Thurston's paper [180] contains just a brief sketch of the proof. The details have been worked out by Mather [120], [124], [125], and the author [12]. This circle of ideas that we call the'Thurston tricks'is discussed in chapter 2. It explains how in certain groups of diffeomorphisms, perfectness leads to simplicity. In connection with these ideas, we discuss Epstein's theory [52], which we apply to contact diffeomorphisms in chapter 6.

<p>Behavioral modeling with a hardware description language (HDL) is the key to modern ASIC design. Readers preparing to contribute to a productive design team must know how to use a hardware description language at key stages of the design flow.

Our goal is to build on a student's background from a first course in logic design by</p> <ol> <li>reviewing basic principles of combinational and sequential logic,</li> <li>introducing the use of HDLs in design,</li> <li>emphasizing descriptive styles that will allow the reader to quickly design working circuits suitable for application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and/or field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation, and</li> <li>providing in-depth design examples using modern design tools. Readers are encouraged to simplify, clarify, and verify their designs.</li> </ol> <p>The Verilog hardware description language (IEEE Standard 1364) serves as a common framework supporting the design activities treated in this book, but our focus is on developing, verifying, and synthesizing designs of digital circuits, not on the Verilog language. Most students taking a second course in digital design will be familiar with at least one programming language and will be able to draw on that background in reading this text.

<p>The book has been written to introduce students and practitioners alike to two important topics:</p> <ul> <li>Basic VHDL language concepts</li> <li>A framework for thinking and reasoning about the structure and operation of VHDL programs when modeling for simulation and synthesis.</li> </ul> <p>The road to useful models is paved by language features motivated by the need to describe behavioral and physical properties of digital circuits such as events, propagation delays, and concurrency. In this book, each major language construct is studied from two points of view:</p> <ul> <li>For the purpose of the simulation of physical or behavioral attributes of a digital system</li> <li>For the purpose of synthesis of the digital hardware</li> </ul> <p>Each language feature presented in the book is accompanied by a complete example. Simulation and synthesis exercises address one or more associated VHDL modeling concepts. Further, the book is packaged with the Xilinx Student Edition Foundation Series Software, producing a powerful and self-contained learning environment. The result of reading this book is a fast paced ascension through the language to productive applications for solving realistic problems.</p> <p>Practicing engineers will find the text and tool application self-paced. Instructors will find that the style of the book enables it to be used as a companion to courses in digital logic, computer architecture, or a HDL course. The Xilinx Student Edition tool sets enable students to quickly develop intuition about VHDL models. All readers will progress rapidly from reading to creating functioning models.</p> <p>By focusing on the most commonly used core constructs and providing tutorials with the accompanying Xilinx Student Edition tools, <i><b>Introductory VHDL: From Simulation To Synthesis</b></i> is a must for those wishing to rapidly add VHDL to their skill sets.</p>
