Total Performance Scorecard : Réconcilier l'homme et l'entreprise
Le tableau de bord de la performance totale vise le développement maximum de tous les collaborateurs de l'entreprise et l'utilisation optimale de leurs talents en vue de la meilleure performance de l'entreprise. Cette approche diffère sur des points essentiels des concepts de gestion traditionnels. Le TBPT prend comme point de départ la connaissance de soi de l'individu pour ensuite mettre celle-ci en synergie avec la stratégie de l'entreprise. Cette manière de procéder favorise la durabilité des actions d'amélioration et de changement qui seront mises en oeuvre par la suite. En fin de compte, l'amélioration et le changement véritables au niveau de l'entreprise ne peuvent être réalisés que si l'individu opère un changement intérieur.
Topological Invariants of Stratified Spaces
The central theme of this book is the restoration of Poincaré duality, on stratified singular spaces by using Verdier-self-dual sheaves such as the prototypical intersection chain sheaf on a complex variety.After carefully introducing sheaf theory, derived categories, Verdier duality, stratification theories, intersection homology, t-structures and perverse sheaves, the ultimate objective is to explain the construction as well as algebraic and geometric properties of invariants such as the signature and characteristic classes effectuated by self-dual sheaves.
Topological Fixed Point Theory of Multivalued Mappings
This book is devoted to the topological fixed point theory of multivalued mappings including applications to differential inclusions and mathematical economy. It is the first monograph dealing with the fixed point theory of multivalued mappings in metric ANR spaces.

Topics in Uniform Approximation of Continuous Functions
Presents the evolution of uniform approximations of continuous functions. Starting from the simple case of a real continuous function defined on a closed real interval, i.e., the Weierstrass approximation theorems, it proceeds up to the abstract case of approximation theorems in a locally convex lattice of (M) type.In turn, the book presents the approximation of continuous functions defined on a locally compact space (the functions from a weighted space) and that of continuous differentiable functions defined on ¡n. In closing, it highlights selected approximation theorems in locally convex lattices of (M) type.
Tooth Wear Interceptive treatment approach with minimally invasive protocols
A comprehensive review of clinical procedures that can help the practitioner select a proper protocol and suitable materials to more selectively treat the various forms of tooth wear. This “cookbook” is based on the authors’ more than 20 years of experienced treating this pathology. The main focus is the prevention of tooth wear progression with the use of noninvasive and affordable procedures in the proper timeframe, bearing in mind that comprehending this pathology is a lifelong endeavor. For cases where there was no opportunity to intervene early enough, you will also find “recipes” for the proper use of indirect and CAD/CAM-produced restorations.
Tools for Computational Finance
Only in recent years quantitative analysts have asked for the numerical solution of a free-boundary partial di?erential equation. Fast and accurate numerical algorithms have become essential tools to price ?nancial derivatives and to manage portfolio risks. So far, the emerging ?eld of computational ?nance has hardly been discussed in the mathematical ?nance literature. This book attempts to ?ll the gap. Basic principles of computational ?nance are introduced in a monograph with textbook character.

Time--Frequency and Time--Scale Methods : Adaptive Decompositions, Uncertainty Principles, and Sampling
Developed in this book are several deep connections between time--frequency (Fourier/Gabor) analysis and time--scale (wavelet) analysis, emphasizing the powerful adaptive methods that emerge when separate techniques from each area are properly assembled in a larger context. While researchers at the forefront of developments in time--frequency and time--scale analysis are well aware of the benefits of such a unified approach, there remains a knowledge gap in the larger community of practitioners about the precise strengths and limitations of Fourier/Gabor analysis versus wavelets. This book fills that gap by presenting the interface of time--frequency and time--scale methods as a rich area of work.
Time-Dependent Scheduling
Time-dependent scheduling involves problems in which the processing times of jobs depend on when those jobs are started. This book is a comprehensive study of complexity results and optimal and suboptimal algorithms concerning time-dependent scheduling in single-, parallel- and dedicated-machine environments.

Time Predictions : Understanding and Avoiding Unrealism in Project Planning and Everyday Life
Predicting the time needed to complete a project, task or daily activity can be difficult and people frequently underestimate how long an activity will take. This book sheds light on why and when this happens, what we should do to avoid it and how to give more realistic time predictions. It describes methods for predicting time usage in situations with high uncertainty, explains why two plus two is usually more than four in time prediction contexts, reports on research on time prediction biases, and summarizes the evidence in support of different time prediction methods and principles. Based on a comprehensive review of the research, it is the first book summarizing what we know about judgment-based time predictions.
Time Continuity in Discrete Time Models : New Approaches for Production Planning in Process Industries
Production planning problems containing special characteristics from process industries are addressed in this book. The main subject is the development of mathematical programming models that allow to model production plans which are not disrupted by discretization of time. However, discrete time models are used as a basis and are subsequently enhanced to include aspects of time continuity. Their integration is achieved by different building blocks which may be combined freely according to the specific planning situation at hand. The primary area of application of these kinds of models are process industries.
