New Releases by Jose Dominguez

Look, as a 43-year-old guy, I gotta be honest with you, focusing on my mental well-being wasn't exactly something drilled into my head growing up. But hey, life throws a bunch of curveballs, and I found myself needing to get my act together, find some balance, and tackle my stress, depression, and anxiety. It was about reclaiming control over my mental health, you know what I'm saying?So, here's the thing, I'm putting this project out there, hoping it can give some understanding to all you people who might be going through similar stuff. Life ain't always sunshine and unicorns, but maybe we can figure this stuff out together.

This thesis and wargame addresses the question, "Can a game be developed to enhance company level Unit Training Management within the National Guard?" By using a qualitative discussion format that showcases the need and relevance of such a training model, company level leaders in the National Guard can be better trained and developed to adapt to the possibility of competing federal training and state's no notice mission requirements. This research is augmented by the United States Army's implemented annual training requirements and recently published Sustained Readiness Model that is required to be achieved by the components of the Active, Reserve, and National Guard respectively. Furthermore, conducting research by playing a variety of classic and modern wargames, simulations, and board games, appropriate elements and mechanics were adapted to create a relevant game using the Time, Space, Assets, and Resolution or TSAR Model. Thus, through game development and testing of "Next Year is Now," a game that can improve company level Unit Training Management in the National Guard has been produced.This compilation also includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.The purpose of "Next Year is Now" is to expedite and enhance the leader development of newly assigned and current National Guard company commanders on how to develop a sound and achievable Unit Training Management program. Due to an inherent Title 32 training framework, National Guard officers must be deliberately developed in order to gain situational understanding of the many facets involved in developing, implementing, executing, and accessing their Unit Training Management program that is nested within their respective brigade's training goals and the Army's readiness guidance. Additionally, the intent of "Next Year is Now" is to enable National Guard officers to become adaptable and flexible towards emerging or changing requirements, while following the newly implemented Sustained Readiness Model as well as complying with the Congressional established 39 training day constraint.1 Moreover, "Next Year is Now" can also serve as a running estimate or briefing development tool to illustrate to battalion and higher commands when a unit's training day allocation will culminate or why specific training goals were not accomplished within a specified timeline.

ISO 9001:2015 is here. A lot has changed. There's an entirely new structure. New requirements have been added. Old requirements have been updated and moved. Some requirements have been removed. To remain compliant, you've got to transition to the new standard.Fortunately, you've got access to inside information in this new handbook from Lorri Hunt, José Dominguez, and Craig Williams. All three have spent years in leadership positions on the ISO committee that helped to write the new standard. No one is more qualified to write on ISO 9001:2015 than these three technical experts.At the heart of this in-depth handbook is a comprehensive clause-by-clause analysis that gives you a deep understanding of ISO 9001:2015's requirements and how to practically apply them in your organization.

The Memory Jogger ISO 9001:2015 is the best source for everyone in your organization to learn how to comply with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 and maximize the value the framework of the standard can provide for your company. Complete with practical guidance on the standard, this book also covers fundamentals of the process approach to auditing as well as an overview of the registration process to ISO 9001:2015. The Memory Jogger ISO 9001:2015 is a convenient and quick reference guide to use on the job written in the renowned GOAL/QPC format; What is it? How do I do it? Tools and Techniques to Achieve it. The book breaks down the essentials to assist in quick recall and implementation, including pitfalls and best practices gained over many years of effective industry based experience. Whether you are an executive, department head, implementer or auditor, new to the ISO world or an experienced quality professional, this is an indispensable pocket guide on the new standard.

En una de las decadas mas sangrientas del pais, un humilde pueblo extremano se ve convulsionado por la guerra civil y la posguerra.

This book is the revised version of the well known boundary element text book by Brebbia and Dominguez. This book has been written to provide a simple and up-to-date introduction to the Boundary Element Method. It is based on the authors long experience teaching boundary elements and is designed to convey in the most effective manner the fundamentals of the method. The book has been written in a form enabling it to be used as a text book at undergraduate or graduate level as well as by the engineer in practice who wants to learn the fundamentals of the technique. Of particular interest is the way in which boundary element concepts are introduced and immediately applied in simple - but useful - computer codes. These codes (4 for potential and 2 for elasticity) facilitate the comprehension of boundary elements. The book starts with an introductory chapter explaining why boundary elements are needed and their advantages compared with finite elements in the solution of many engineering problems. Other chapters deal with basic concepts, potential problems, elastostatics, combination with finite elements and other topics of interest to engineers.
