Alpha Beta By:"John Man" Published on 2010-10-31 by Random House The idea behind the alphabet - that language with all its wealth of meaning can be recorded with a few meaningless signs - is an extraordinary one. So extraordinary, in fact, that it has occurred only once in human history: in Egypt about 4000 years ago. Alpha Beta follows the emergence of the western alphabet as it evolved into its present form, contributing vital elements to our sense of identity along the way. The Israelites used it to define their God, the Greeks to capture their myths, the Romans to display their power. And today, it seems on the verge of yet another expansion through the internet. Tracking the alphabet as it leaps from culture to culture, John Man weaves discoveries, mysteries and controversies into a story of fundamental historical significance.

The Influence of Sample Size on the Dynamics of Beta Factors By:"Kevin Rink" Published on 2010-04-14 by GRIN Verlag Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,2, European Business School - International University Schloß Reichartshausen Oestrich-Winkel, language: English, abstract: The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) was introduced by William Sharpe, John Lintner, and Jan Mossin in the 1960s on the basis of Harry Markowitz’s achievements in the field of portfolio theory. Since then, the CAPM has been one of the most widely used models for evaluating the price of portfolio assets. A major element of the CAPM is the beta factor. The beta factor measures how the expected return of a stock or a portfolio correlates with the return of the whole market. (...) Obviously, the fluctuation of a stock does affect beta factors. As the value of beta is decisive for the portfolio selection process, it is neces...

Fatigue of Beta Processed and Beta Heat-treated Titanium Alloys By:"Russell Wanhill","Simon Barter" Published on 2011-10-28 by Springer Science & Business Media This publication reviews most of the available literature on the fatigue properties of β annealed Ti-6Al-4V and titanium alloys with similar microstructures. The focus is on β processed and β heat-treated alloys because β annealed Ti-6Al-4V has been selected for highly loaded and fatigue-critical structures, including the main wing-carry-through bulkheads and vertical tail stubs, of advanced high-performance military aircraft. An important aspect of the review is a concise survey of fatigue life assessment methods and the required types of fatigue data. This survey provides the background to recommendations for further research, especially on the fatigue behaviour of β annealed Ti-6Al-4V under realistic fatigue load histories, including the essential topic of short/small fatigue crack growth. Such resear...

Pulsed High Beta Plasmas By:"D.E. Evans" Published on 2013-10-22 by Elsevier Pulsed High Beta Plasmas contains the proceedings of the Third Topical Conference on High Beta Plasmas held in Oxfordshire, UK, on September 9-12, 1975. The papers explore various aspects of pulsed high beta plasmas and cover topics such as reversed field pinches; mass flow stabilization of plasma confined by helical magnetic fields; cross-field instabilities in theta-pinch plasmas; and soft X-ray emitting plasma structures during the main neutron emission of plasma foci. Experimental observations of the self-reversal of a toroidal magnetic field in pinches are also presented. This book is comprised of 98 chapters and begins with a discussion on experimental results concerning a high beta stellarator, followed by a review of toroidal theta-pinch theory. The reader is then introduced to relaxation of toroidal discharges; equilibrium and stability of a diffuse high-beta Tokamak; spectroscopic studies o...

Beyond Beta By:"Samuel Kotz","Johan Ren\u0082 Van Dorp" Published on 2004 by World Scientific Statistical distributions are fundamental to Statistical Science and are a prime indispensable tool for its applications. This monograph is the first to examine an important but somewhat neglected field OCo univariate continuous distribution on a bounded domain, excluding the beta distribution. It provides an elementary but thorough discussion of ''''novel'''' contributions developed in recent years, such as the two-sided power, generalized trapezoidal and generalized Topp and Leone distributions, among others. It discusses a general framework for constructing two-sided distributions and some of its properties. It contains a comprehensive chapter on the triangular distribution as well as a chapter on earlier extensions not emphasized in existing literature. Special attention is given to estimation, in particular, non-standard maximum likeliho...

Beta Male By:"Iain Hollingshead" Published on 2010 by Bloomsbury Academic Sam Hunt is a confused modern male in his very late twenties. A work-shy, commitment-phobic, marriage-berating would-be actor, he has just been invited to his ex-girlfriend's nuptials, and begins to feel that the big three-o might just be the beginning of the end. Beta males one and all, Sam and his friends may treasure their bachelor freedoms, but secretly they are terrified of ending up alone. Flatmate Alan, the sensible one, has just been proposed to by his girlfriend Jess in the most emasculating moment of his bloody life, with his femme fatale boss looking on with a saucy gleam in her eye. Newly-dumped Ed spends his time ranting online and tearfully watching repeats of Sex and the City in a pile of his girlfriend's pyjamas, while handsome Matt, a not-very-good doctor who has just lost his job, begins to hatch a dubious plan to ensnare a rich wife.
