Focusing on practical approaches for the experienced investigator, a 27-year veteran of the FBI presents a hands-on volume drawn from years of experience interviewing suspects. The main focus of the book is the targeted subject interviewing process (TSI). This technique combines all known tactics learned from criminal personality profiling and investigative analysis into an effective strategy for interviewing a suspect. The book describes the skill sets and essential elements that directly contribute to a successful interrogation and outlines an interview plan using these analytical and profiling concepts. Employing crime scene scenarios to demonstrate concepts, the book includes a victim questionnaire capturing offender behavior, form templates, and a glossary.

Based on the lecture notes of the renowned Hubert I. Aaronson, this text details the fundamental principles of phase transformations in metals and alloys upon which steel and other metals industries are based. Instead of relying strictly on a pedagogical approach, it documents the evolution of phase transformation concepts. The authors present topics by describing a phenomenon and then following up with a corresponding hypothesis or alternative explanation. In this way, the book also shows how the field continues to evolve and meet new challenges.

Major development efforts in organic materials research has grown for an array of applications. Organic spintronics, in particular, has flourished in the area of organic magneto-transport. Reflecting the main avenues of advancement in this arena, this volume explores spin injection and manipulation in organic spin valves, the magnetic field effect in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and the spin transport effect in relation to spin manipulation. It also examines organic magnets as spin injection electrodes in organic spintronics devices, the coherent control of spins in organic devices using electronically detected magnetic resonance, and the possibility of using organic spin valves as sensors.

Based on the authors 45 years of experience, this book examines the activities that must take place in the development of any system between the completion of the requirements work and the verification of work. The book provides insight into complex problems, focusing on the boundary conditions that exist between the knowledge domains of the specialized engineers populating a program and the product domains related to the product being developed by different teams on a program. It explores the role of the system engineer in design, material procurement, and manufacturing.

When implemented correctly, release management can help to ensure quality is integrated throughout the development, implementation, and delivery of services, applications, and infrastructure. Clearly illustrating the effective implementation of a release process, this hands-on guide examines the similarities and differences of release management and project management to clarify the distinctions between the two complementary processes. Shedding light on the day-to-day challenges that need to be overcome, it details the principles of effective implementation—including what to implement, how to do it, and when to do it.
