A Machine Learning Based Model of Boko Haram by V. S. Subrahmanian
English | EPUB | 2021 | 145 Pages | ISBN : 3030606139 | 7.2 MB
This is the first study of Boko Haram that brings advanced data-driven, machine learning models to both learn models capable of predicting a wide range of attacks carried out by Boko Haram, as well as develop data-driven policies to shape Boko Haram's behavior and reduce attacks by them. This book also identifies conditions that predict sexual violence, suicide bombings and attempted bombings, abduction, arson, looting, and targeting of government officials and security installations.

A Basic Introduction to Pollutant Fate and Transport : An Integrated Approach with Chemistry, Modeling, Risk Assessment, and Environmental Legislation By Frank M. Dunnivant, Elliot Anders
2006 | 485 Pages | ISBN: 0471651281 | PDF | 21 MB
A uniquely accessible text on environmental modeling designed for both students and industry personnel Pollutant fate and modeling are becoming increasingly important in both regulatory and scientific areas. However,the complexity of the software and models often act as an inhibitor to the advancement of water quality science. A Basic Introduction to Pollutant Fate and Transport fills the need for a basic instructional tool for students and environmental professionals who lack the rigorous mathematical background necessary to derive the governing fate and transport equations. Taking a refreshingly simple approach to the subject that requires only a basic knowledge of algebra and first-year college chemistry, the book presents and integrates all of the aspects of fate and transport, including chemistry, modeling, risk assessment, and relevant environmental legislation; approaching each topic first conceptually before introducing the math necessary to model it. The first half of the book is dedicated to the chemistry and physics behind the fate and transport models, while the second half teaches and reinforces the logical concepts underlying fate and transport modeling. This better prepares students for support jobs in the environmental arena surrounding chemical industry and Superfund sites. Contributing to the book's ease of use are: * An extremely user-friendly software program, Fate(r), which uses basic models to predict the fate and transport of pollutants in lakes, rivers, groundwater, and atmospheric systems * The use of "canned" models to evaluate the importance of model parameters and sensitivity analysis * A wealth of easy-to-understand examples and problems * A chapter on environmental legislation in the United States and Europe * A set of lab exercises, as well as a downloadable set of teaching aids A much-needed basic text for contemporary hydrology or environmental chemistry courses and support courses forthe environmental industry, this is a valuable desk reference for educators and industry professionals.

365 Day Book List: Top Reading Recommendations from among the 10000 biggest bestsellers of all time by Isabel Throcker
English | November 12, 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08NDRCBF8 | 624 pages | Rar (PDF, AZW3) | 0.63 Mb
We look for recommendations for music, restaurants, outfits...the list is endless. However, asking for book recommendations trumps all the others.A good book recommendation takes into account multiple factors: the time period in which a book is set is very important. The average rating of a book with other readers is almost as crucial - because the critics' rating doesn't always reflect entertainment value, which is a key thing that casual readers (most of us) look for.Book genres are, surprisingly, not very crucial to the process of discovering new authors and new pieces of literature.In this volume, you are given fortnightly book recommendations to tide you through an entire year! Every book title comes with three important pieces of dаta: the name of the author, the year of publication, and an average reader rating (out of 100). These three are all you need to discover a potentially new great book; this is all about exploration.I've made sure to give you more book recommendations for a fortnight than you can possibly finish reading; this way, you can use this book reading list year after year, and become a true bibliophile.Happy Reading!

The Power of Daily Practice: How Creative and Performing Artists (and Everyone Else) Can Finally Meet Their Goals (Audiobook) by Eric Maisel PhD
English | September 01, 2020 | ASIN: B08G2125CS | MP3@96 kbps | 7h 33m | 314 MB
Narrator: Daniel Henning
Anyone who has ever picked up a creativity or self-help guide has likely been advised to keep to a daily schedule, daily pages, or other everyday ritual. But "just do it" usually just doesn't work. Longtime creativity coach and therapist Eric Maisel has found an approach that does work: giving clients, and now listeners, a clear understanding of what makes them personally blocked or stuck and unable to start or finish. Not enough time, resources, or talent? Fear of success, guilt about being "selfish", and variations on the theme of "what's the point?"

The Marines of Montford Point: America's First Black Marines (Audiobook) by Melton A. McLaurin
English | April 11, 2013 | ASIN: B00BLR1P4Q | M4B@64 kbps | 7h 53m | 214 MB
Narrators: Adam Lazzare White, JD Jackson, Karole Foreman, William Harper, Daxton Edwards, David Carpenter
With an executive order from President Franklin Roosevelt in 1941, the United States Marine Corps - the last all-white branch of the U.S. military - was forced to begin recruiting and enlisting African Americans. The first black recruits received basic training at the segregated Camp Montford Point, adjacent to Camp Lejeune, near Jacksonville, North Carolina. Between 1942 and 1949 (when the base was closed as a result of President Truman's 1948 order fully desegregating all military forces) more than 20,000 men trained at Montford Point, most of them going on to serve in the Pacific Theatre in World War II as members of support units. This book, in conjunction with the documentary film of the same name, tells the story of these Marines for the first time.

Narrator: Martyn Swain
Summa Theologica consists of three main parts. The second part is divided in two, and this recording presents Prima Secundae - Part I of Part II. Taken in its entirety, Summa Theologica forms an essential contribution to the canon of Catholic doctrine and was written in the last decade of his life by Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), an Italian-born Dominican friar. Although he died before completing it, the body of thought it contains is a continuing influence to the education and guidance of students of theology in the main Christian traditions.

Narrator: Martyn Swain
In 1929, Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) published his remarkable book Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics. The Kantbuch, as Heidegger often called it, is regarded by many as a vital supplement to the unfinished second part of Heidegger's most influential work, Being and Time, which was published two years earlier in 1927.
