In recent years, Europe has invested enormously into the establishment of Research Infrastructures (RIs): new types of research service-providing organizations in virtually all scientific domains, which are often based on local or regional core facilities and research centers. Bringing together interdisciplinary and multinational teams at single-site or distributed research facilities, more than a thousand RIs are active worldwide and operate as structured, networked organizations led by Research Infrastructure Managers. These Managers are mostly scientists who have to strike a balance between their scientific background on the one hand and effective management and leadership skills on the other. This is the first open access book made for Research Infrastructure Managers around the globe. It also provides insights into complex managerial issues involved in setting up and operating RIs, developing appropriate service provision, and market communication and dissemination activities. Readers will particularly benefit from the use cases, which were developed as part of the Executive Masterin Management of Research Infrastructures offered at the University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy), which was supported by the Research Infrastructure Training Programme (RITrain), an EU-funded Horizon 2020 project. https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/22a9b76a9c351315c2911132a22adc76.pdf 7334fc1a930e3c6c06fccc3974f9b995 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Robo-advisory technologies are part of a rapidly evolving financial landscape shaped by digitalization, disintermediation, and changing client expectations. This work examines the drivers behind this shift, including advancements in AI and data analytics, evolving investor demands for personalization and accessibility, and the cost and scalability pressures facing financial institutions. The book differentiates rule-based from AI-powered systems, highlighting how modern robo-advisors increasingly leverage machine learning, behavioral insights, and alternative data to offer dynamic and adaptive services. Emerging trends such as hybrid advisory models, behavioral nudges, ethical challenges surrounding algorithmic transparency, and inclusivity concerns are also addressed. Moreover, this work maps out key players and market trends, emphasizing regional variations, consolidation patterns, and niche market opportunities. A novel framework of six AI-driven business models is introduced to explain how robo-advisory is strategically deployed across incumbent and disruptive financial organizations. Ultimately, robo-advisory technologies serve as a lens to understand the future trajectory of financial services where AI, automation, and behavioral design converge to reshape how individuals engage with money, risk, and long-term financial planning. https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/1d18299b589d10e0fd32c3d218a2e654.pdf c123e1f511b3cdf24f149c6be8ee6957 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It shows obstacles companies face in conducting socially responsible business. Focusing on government-business relations in the Netherlands, the book also exposes key policy bottlenecks: the tendency of the Dutch government to hold on to the status quo and shield incumbent firms through tax breaks and lax enforcement. There is a real risk of policies that pamper businesses. We also show how policies can better capitalize on the innovative qualities of entrepreneurship. Effective government policy makes it worthwhile for companies to alter their business model so that their products, services, and production processes benefit society. Our recommendations address the role of government, consumers, financiers, and companies themselves. While this work focuses on the Netherlands, it tackles questions that countries face worldwide on how to minimize harmful business conduct and maximize good business solutions. This makes the book broadly relevant to policymakers, business leaders, and researchers grappling with the impact of business on society today. https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/b179ea4d8253663b791e1849210491bc.pdf b66bdd61c0c7304b8a1f01f28a4e6a05 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the data management and science lifecycle: governance, storage and processing, preparation, and analysis. Each part is organized to provide a coherent conceptual framework and is divided into multiple chapters, each focusing on a specific topic but together offering a comprehensive overview of the state of the art and the key challenges in the respective areas. While the parts and chapters follow a logical sequence, each chapter is designed to be self-contained and can be read independently. Chapters include references for further reading and deeper exploration and often also provide concrete examples or use cases to make the material more accessible. In addition, many chapters introduce a taxonomy to break down complex research areas into manageable components, highlighting the core directions and developments within each domain. The book is designed to be a valuable resource for both researchers and practitioners seeking to leverage data engineering for data science applications. For both seasoned experts and budding professionals, it provides the tools and knowledge needed to stay at the forefront of data-driven advancements. https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/ef9ad187c3152f2e43071da97c7dde09.pdf d611e085db7a61efed9e5903795d00c2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Building on classical foundations, it offers practical tools for the 21st century. Many applied problems center around metric questions, such as optimization with respect to distances. After a short dive into 19th-century geometry of plane curves, we turn to problems expressed by polynomial equations over the real numbers. The solution sets are real algebraic varieties. Many of our metric problems arise in data science, optimization, and statistics. These include minimizing Wasserstein distances in machine learning, maximum likelihood estimation, computing curvature, or minimizing the Euclidean distance to a variety. This book addresses a wide audience of researchers and students and can be used for a one-semester course at the graduate level. The key prerequisite is a solid foundation in undergraduate mathematics, especially in algebra and geometry. https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/99c89b59510b668c0c7e84452c27c7ed.pdf 93388c32959832cc7fdab0e9b861c177 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
