This work represents the latest in mathematical and computational techniques to assist in combating terrorist cells. Achieved by quantifying threats and the effectiveness of counterterrorism operations and strategies, contributors share theories and methodologies to generate and analyze terrorist networks and provide mathematical methods and practical algorithms for destabilizing adversaries. New developments include: A new centrality-like measure to screen networks for potential actors of interest; Detection of topological characteristics of these networks to understand structure; Measures based on efficiency of networks to identify key players; Theories to detect command structures of networks by detecting hidden hierarchies; A knowledge base of the terrorist attacks in / planned in the past, by spidering data. Results of command structure via new algorithms with SNA literature (N-Clique, K-Core, etc.) are compared. The best techniques are combined to assist intelligence agencies / law enforcement.
This book has hardback covers. Ex-library, With usual stamps and markings, In good all round condition. No dust jacket.
In 1984, the first edition of Qualitative Data Analysis addressed a critical need faced by researchers in all fields of the human sciences - how to draw valid meaning from qualitative data. It provided methods of analysis that were practical, credible and reliable. This groundbreaking book has now been revised to take up where the first edition left off and account for the phenomenal expansion of qualitative inquiry since then.
In this second edition, Miles and Huberman bring the art of qualitative data analysis up to date, adding hundreds of new techniques, ideas and references that draw on the experience of the authors and many colleagues in the design, testing and use of qualitative data analysis methods. Each method of data display and analysis is described and illustrated in detail, with practical suggestions for adaptation and use. The growth of computer use in qualitative analysis is reflected throughout this volume, which also includes an extensive appendix on criteria useful for choosing among the currently available analysis packages.Using examples from a host of social science and professional disciplines and stressing a hands-on, practical approach, Qualitative Data Analysis, Second Edition, remains the most complete treatment of this topic available to scholars and applied researchers.
