Michel David – författare

To honour the remarkable contribution of Michel David in the inception, establishment and development of Geostatistics, and to promote the essence of his work, an international Forum entitled Geostatistics for the Next Century was convened in Montreal in June 1993. In order to enhance communication and stimulate geostatistical innovation, research and development, the Forum brought together world leading researchers and practitioners from five continents, who discussed-debated current problems, new technologies and futuristic ideas. This volume contains selected peer-reviewed papers from the Forum, together with comments by participants and replies by authors. Although difficult to capture the spontaneity and range of a debate, comments and replies should further assist in the promotion of ideas, dialogue and criticism, and are consistent with the spirit of the Forum. The contents of this volume are organized following the Forum's thematic sessions. The role of theme sessions was not only to stress important topics of tOday but in addition, to emphasize common ground held among diverse areas of geostatistical work and the need to strengthen communication between these areas. For this reason, any given section of this book may include papers from theory to applications, in mining, petroleum, environment, geohydrology, image processing.

A HIGH PERFORMANCE STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS FOR MID-TIER COMPANIESLuck is not enough. You can create your future with radical thinking and a high performance process.Good processes will produce predictable results in terms of quality, innovation, performance and strategy. Superior processes will raise the bar even higher. Poor processes will reduce results significantly. The strategic processes currently available to small and medium sized businesses were designed for large corporations. They are driven by intense analytics. Their goal is to protect and optimize what already exists. This does not match the needs or the resources of mid-tier companies. This book proposes a high performance strategic planning process for small and mid-sized firms. It starts from the premise that 60 to 80% of the information required to formulate strategy is already present inside the organizaation. Generally, that is sufficent. The challenge is to design a process and develop specific tools or methodologies that are aligned to this approach for mid-tier comanies. Such tools, validated by solid field experience, are presented in the book as well as the culture and the mindset that are required to apply them successfully.

Quelle est la différence entre un psychiatre, un psychologue, un psychanalyste ? En quoi consiste le travail d''un orthophoniste ? Où consulter ? Combien ça coûte ? Comment se déroule une consultation? Quelles sont les situations qui peuvent conduire à emmener son enfant chez un « psy » ?Ce guide vise à répondre aux nombreuses questions que se posent les parents. Car si la consultation chez un « psy » est en constante augmentation, si elle n''est plus aujourd''hui taboue, le milieu de la santé mentale est encore mal connu. Définir les motifs de consultation - depuis les problèmes du nouveau-né jusqu''aux difficultés de l''adolescent -, faire connaître les structures de soins ainsi que les procédures diagnostiques et thérapeutiques, voilà qui contribuera à lever les zones d''ombre du monde « psy » et à faciliter la demande d''aide psychologique à l''enfant et à l''adolescent. Michel David est médecin pédopsychiatre. Il a été attaché au CHU Robert Debré à Paris dans le service de psychopathologie de l''enfant et de l''adolescent ; il est actuellement praticien hospitalier du secteur infanto-juvénile du Nord Cotentin. Jocelyne Jérémie est psychologue clinicienne.
