| missouri s&t st pats: Origin of Kibosh Gerald Cohen, Stephen Goranson, Matthew Little, 2017-10-10 This is an etymological study of the origins of the word kibosh, which has long been one of the great mysteries of the English language. Unconvincing derivations have been suggested from Yiddish to Gaelic and Italian, and thus far consensus among lexicographers has leaned toward referencing the word as ‘origin unknown’. In this study, the authors present convincing and important new evidence in favour of the derivation of kibosh from the word for a fearsome Middle Eastern whip, known as the kurbash. This monograph is one of the most significant etymological works directed at a single phrase. It is the gold standard on deep-drill, focused and exhaustive single-word lexicography and will be of interest to lexicographers and linguists in the relevant fields. |

| missouri s&t st pats: Small Country Innovation Systems Charles Edquist, Leif Hommen, 2009-01-01 What are the challenges that small countries face concerning innovation and what are the effects of globalization on their innovation systems? In this very interesting, rich and timely book, Edquist and Hommen compare ten different small national innovation systems from the Asia Pacific and Northern Europe that are rather advanced in their development. The answers that the authors give are convincing and relate not only to the unique characteristics of each national system that shapes innovative activity, but also to some commonalities that exist across these countries. Franco Malerba, Bocconi University, Italy This major book presents case studies of ten small country national systems of innovation (NSIs) in Europe and Asia, namely, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden and Taiwan. These cases have been carefully selected as examples of success within the context of globalization and as new economies where competition is increasingly based on innovation. To facilitate comparative analysis the ten studies follow a common structure, informed by an activities-based approach to describing and analysing NSIs, which addresses the critical issues of globalization and the consequences of innovation for economic performance. The final chapter compares fast growth and slow growth countries, concentrating on issues of innovation policy. The results illustrate the usefulness of an activities-based approach to studying NSIs, point to distinctive national roles within an increasingly differentiated international division of labour and address the key themes of selectivity and coordination in innovation policy. This valuable book presents one of the most significant, comprehensive and comparative country studies of NSIs in the last decade. It will have great import and should be widely read by every serious student and scholar of innovation studies. |

| missouri s&t st pats: Critical Infrastructure Protection XV Jason Staggs, Sujeet Shenoi, 2023-01-06 The information infrastructure – comprising computers, embedded devices, networks and software systems – is vital to operations in every sector: chemicals, commercial facilities, communications, critical manufacturing, dams, defense industrial base, emergency services, energy, financial services, food and agriculture, government facilities, healthcare and public health, information technology, nuclear reactors, materials and waste, transportation systems, and water and wastewater systems. Global business and industry, governments, indeed society itself, cannot function if major components of the critical information infrastructure are degraded, disabled or destroyed. Critical Infrastructure Protection XV describes original research results and innovative applications in the interdisciplinary field of critical infrastructure protection. Also, it highlights the importance of weaving science, technology and policy in crafting sophisticated, yet practical, solutions that will help secure information, computer and network assets in the various critical infrastructure sectors. Areas of coverage include: Industrial Control Systems Security; Telecommunications Systems Security; Infrastructure Security. This book is the fourteenth volume in the annual series produced by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 11.10 on Critical Infrastructure Protection, an international community of scientists, engineers, practitioners and policy makers dedicated to advancing research, development and implementation efforts focused on infrastructure protection. The book contains a selection of 13 edited papers from the Fifteenth Annual IFIP WG 11.10 International Conference on Critical Infrastructure Protection, held as a virtual event during the spring of 2021. Critical Infrastructure Protection XV is an important resource for researchers, faculty members and graduate students, as well as for policy makers, practitioners and other individuals with interests in homeland security. |

| missouri s&t st pats: Language Practice Liam Sharma, AI, 2025-01-27 Language Practice: Building Bridges Through Daily Engagement redefines language learning as a transformative daily habit with benefits stretching far beyond vocabulary. The book’s central thesis reveals how consistent, bite-sized practice—as little as 15 minutes daily—strengthens cognitive resilience, sharpens communication skills, and deepens cultural empathy. Blending neuroscience and practical strategies, it challenges the myth that fluency requires years of study, showcasing instead how neuroplasticity allows even adults to rewire their brains through targeted micro-practices. Intriguing insights include the cognitive “bonus” of bilingualism, like delayed dementia onset, and the efficiency of spaced repetition techniques, which boost retention better than cramming. Structured across 12 chapters, the book merges academic rigor with self-help accessibility. Early sections explain foundational concepts like intercultural pragmatics (how greetings differ globally) and habit formation, while later chapters offer adaptable frameworks for busy learners—think vocabulary drills during commutes or shadowing exercises while cooking. Unlike traditional language guides, it prioritizes how to learn over rigid rules, using interdisciplinary examples: behavioral economics principles to maintain motivation, or anthropological case studies on cultural misunderstandings. What sets this book apart is its evidence-backed yet flexible approach. It acknowledges critiques of short practice sessions but argues convincingly that daily engagement creates a foundation for deeper learning. By framing language practice as mental exercise with career, cognitive, and social rewards, it appeals to professionals, travelers, and lifelong learners alike—proving that small, consistent efforts can build bridges in our multilingual world. |

The author argues that our every-day moral codes are an 'error theory' based on the presumption of moral facts which, he persuasively argues, don't exist. His refutation of such facts is based on their metaphysical 'queerness' and the observation of cultural relativity. |
