Stress FreeTM Supply Chain Solutions
Stress Free Supply Chain Solutions provides guidance to a flowing, optimum inventory, customer facing supply chain. Output tracking clearly documents issues at each flow boundary. The issues are prioritized, and supply chain participants apply resources to eliminate them. Issues at supply chain boundaries are easier to address given the clarity given by the use of output tracking. The stability created by reducing flow barriers increases throughput and reduces the level of required inventory. The discussion by the boundary owners becomes focused on mutually identified problems. The close association of the boundary owners leads to mutually agreed to priority improvements This close association supports the development of the personnel on both sides of the supply chain boundary.The resolution of problems at the supply chain boundaries creates a flowing, low inventory, high margin business. The flowing supply chain, the skill developing personnel and the superior business results will not go unnoticed. Imagine being the top performers in Safety, Quality, Throughput, Response Flexibility and First in Profit Margin. Apply Stress FreeTM Supply Chain Solutions and achieve it.
In-Situ Structure Characterization of Elastomers During Deformation and Fracture
This thesis offers novel insights into the time-dependent structural evolution of polymers under deformation. In-situ tensile experiments at high-brilliance synchrotron sources allowed to characterize the material with unrivaled resolution in time and space. The strain-induced crystallization in natural rubber was studied by wide-angle X-ray diffraction. Special emphasis was put on the establishment of new structure-property relationships to give a more in-depth understanding of the mechanical performance of rubber parts, e.g. in tear fatigue loading. To this end, the kinetics of strain-induced crystallization were investigated, subjecting the material to high strain rates. The local structure around a crack tip was observed by scanning wide-angle X-ray diffraction. Ultra-small angle X-ray scattering served to study filled elastomers under deformation, from specially prepared model filler systems to industrially relevant carbon black filled rubbers. Other methods include electron microscopy coupled with in-situ tensile testing and optical dilatometry to examine cavitation in rubbers.The underlying theory as well as a literature review are covered by an extensive introductory chapter, followed by a description of the experimental techniques. The results are presented in more detail than in the original journal publications.

Defense and Deception
The hit cybersecurity book featured on Business Insider! https: //markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/defense-and-deception-a-book-by-cybersecurity-architect-kevin-cardwell-puts-forth-new-paradigm-on-protecting-networks-1032914234?op=1The reason I decided to write this book is to show that we have to rethink how we look at security. We continue to use the same methods and the threat continues to evolve and bypass it, so we need to understand we need a paradigm shift and this book is to help you with this shift. The book takes you from the essential and fundamentals of defense required to protect our modern networks to the advanced concepts of segmentation and isolation to mitigate the risk, then we introduce you to the methods of deploying deception decoys on the network. With this book, you will learn how to flip the model. For years, we have listened to the statement "the attackers are at the advantage, because they only have to find one way in and we cannot secure every way in." This is true, but with the concepts covered in this book you can flip the model and turn the advantage to the defender, and as a result, you take control of your network! One packet is all we need to identify when they are within our network! We can control the path and route that the attackers pursue and simulate and present a replication of the required data within the segment while moving the real data to a safe location.
