A must-read book on the quantitative value investment strategy Warren Buffett and Ed Thorp represent two spectrums of investing: one value driven, one quantitative. Where they align is in their belief that the market is beatable. This book seeks to take the best aspects of value investing and quantitative investing as disciplines and apply them to a completely unique approach to stock selection. Such an approach has several advantages over pure value or pure quantitative investing. This new investing strategy framed by the book is known as quantitative value, a superior, market-beating method to investing in stocks. Quantitative Value provides practical insights into an investment strategy that links the fundamental value investing philosophy of Warren Buffett with the quantitative value approach of Ed Thorp. It skillfully combines the best of Buffett and Ed Thorp—weaving their investment philosophies into a winning, market-beating investment strategy. First book to outline quantitative value strategies as they are practiced by actual market practitioners of the discipline Melds the probabilities and statistics used by quants such as Ed Thorp with the fundamental approaches to value investing as practiced by Warren Buffett and other leading value investors A companion Website contains supplementary material that allows you to learn in a hands-on fashion long after closing the book If you're looking to make the most of your time in today's markets, look no further than Quantitative Value.

Totally Integrated Automation is the concept by means of which SIMATIC controls machines, manufacturing systems and technical processes. Taking the example of the SIMATIC S7 programmable controller, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the architecture and operation of a state-of-the-art automation system. It also gives an insight into configuration and parameter setting for the controller and the distributed I/O. Communication via network connections is explained, along with a description of the available scope for operator control and monitoring of a plant. The new engineering framework TIA Portal combines all the automation software tools in a single development environment. Inside the TIA Portal, SIMATIC STEP 7 Professional V11 is the comprehensive engineering package for SIMATIC controllers. As the central engineering tool, STEP 7 manages all the necessary tasks, supports programming in the IEC languages LAD, FBD, STL, S7-SCL and S7-GRAPH, and also contains S7-PLCSIM for offline tests. As well as updating the previously-depicted components, this edition also presents new SIMATIC S7-1200 hardware components for PROFIBUS and PROFINET. In addition to the STEP 7 V5.5 engineering software, now STEP 7 Professional V11 is also described, complete with its applications inside TIA Portal. The book is ideally suited to all those, who, despite little previous knowledge, wish to familiarize themselves with the topic of programmable logic controllers and the architecture and operation of automation systems.

Clearing houses, or CCPs, were among the very few organisations to emerge from the global financial crisis with their standing enhanced. In the chaotic aftermath of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, they successfully completed trades worth trillions of dollars in a multitude of financial instruments across listed and over-the-counter markets, and so helped avert financial Armageddon. That success transformed the business of clearing. Governments and regulators around the world gave CCPs and the clearing services they provide a front-line role in protecting the global economy from future excesses of finance. CCPs, which mitigate risk in financial markets, responded by greatly expanding their activities, notably in markets for over-the-counter derivatives, and often in fierce competition with one another. In The Risk Controllers, journalist and author Peter Norman describes how CCPs operate, how they handled the Lehman default, and the challenges they now face. Because central counterparty clearing is a complex business with a long history that continues to influence decisions and structures even in today’s fast changing world, The Risk Controllers explores the development of CCPs and clearing from the earliest times to the present. It draws on the experiences of the people who helped to shape the business of clearing today. It sets the development of CCPs and clearing in the broader context of changes in society, politics and regulation. The book examines turning points, such as the 1987 stock market crash, that set clearing on a new path and the impact of long running trends, including the exponential growth of computer power and the ebb and flow of globalisation. Written in non-technical language, The Risk Controllers provides a unique and accessible guide to CCPs and clearing. It is essential reading for clearing professionals, legislators and regulators whose job it is to take this vitally important business into the future. “The recent crisis has, thankfully, renewed interest in the importance of central counterparties: how they can help preserve stability or, as Hong Kong showed in 1987, undermine stability if they are not super sound. Peter Norman’s book places the role of clearing houses in a historical context, and explains why the financial system’s plumbing matters so much. It should be read by anyone interested in building safer capital markets.” Paul Tucker, Deputy Governor Financial Stability, Bank of England

Totally Integrated Automation ist das Konzept, nach dem SIMATIC Maschinen, fertigungstechnische Anlagen und verfahrenstechnische Prozesse steuert. Am Beispiel der speicherprogrammierbaren Steuerungen SIMATIC S7 bietet dieses Buch einen umfassenden und aktuellen Einstieg in die Arbeitsweise und den Aufbau eines modernen Automatisierungssystems. Daruber hinaus bekommen die Leser einen Einblick in Projektierung und Parametrierung der Controller und der dezentralen Peripherie. Au?erdem werden die Kommunikation uber Netzverbindungen erlautert und die Moglichkeiten fur das Bedienen und Beobachten einer Anlage beschrieben. Das neue Engineering-Framework TIA Portal vereint alle Automation-Software-Tools in einer einzigen Entwicklungsumgebung. SIMATIC STEP 7 Professional V11 im TIA Portal ist das umfassende Engineeringpaket fur die SIMATIC-Controller. Als zentrales Engineeringwerkzeug verwaltet es alle anfallenden Aufga-ben, gestattet die Programmierung in den IEC-Sprachen KOP, FUP, AWL, S7-SCL und S7-Graph sowie den Offline-Test mit S7-PLCSIM. In dieser Auflage werden alle aktuellen Gerate und neue Hardwarekomponenten von SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400 und die von S7-1200 fur Profibus und Profinet vorgestellt. Zusatzlich zur Engineeringsoftware STEP 7 V5.5 werden nun auch STEP 7 Professional V11 und deren Anwendungen im TIA Portal beschrieben. Das Buch ist hervorragend geeignet fur alle, die sich ohne gro?e Vorkenntnisse schnell in das Gebiet der speicherprogrammierbaren Steuerungen einarbeiten mochten.
