 English | 2021 | ISBN: 1454939966 | 288 pages | True PDF | 82.51 MB How might the world as we know it end? In this illustrated guide,How Stuff Worksauthor Marshall Brain explores myriad doomsday scenarios and the science behind them. What if the unimaginable happens? A nuclear bomb detonates over a major city, for example, or a deadly virus infects millions around the world. There are other disasters we don't even have to imagine because they've already occurred, like violent hurricanes or cataclysmic tsunamis that have caused horrific loss of life and damage. InThe Doomsday Book,Marshall Brain explains how everything finally ends-the decimation of nations and cities, of civilization, of humanity, of all life on Earth. Brain takes a deep dive into a wide range of doomsday narratives, including manmade events such as an electromagnetic pulse attack, a deadly pandemic, and nuclear warfare; devastating natural phenomena, such as an eruption from a super-volcano, the collapse of the Gulf Stream, or lethal solar flares; and science-fiction scenarios where robots take over or aliens invade. Each compelling chapter provides a detailed description of the situation, the science behind it, and ways to prevent or prepare for its occurrence. With fun graphics and eye-catching photographs at every turn,The Doomsday Bookwill be the last book you'll ever have to read about the last days on Earth.

With the current rate of development and adoption of blockchain, it is unwise for governments, individuals, corporations, and regulatory authorities to dismiss the hype surrounding distributed ledger technology. What if we are a few steps away from a drastic shift from the centralized, inflexible, and old systems to a new decentralized model that is fully collaborative?  English | 2021 | ASIN : B09BRB4WK7 | 224 pages | PDF, AZW3, EPUB, MOBI | 18.99 MB The book is originally intended for postgraduate students of applied linguistics and foreign language teachers who may have some unresolved dilemmas about foreign language education for adults. It opens with a chapter about seven dominant perspectives on the learning process. The book moves across the notions of adulthood, adult learner, adult education, and principles of foreign (the prefix second is interchangeably used) language teaching methodology. The final chapter is designed to help you reflect on your own inclinations towards embracing or rejecting novelties in teaching design. Overall, the first four chapters may appeal to a broad audience, but the final three chapters may require a level of relevant experience and supplementary reading about issues in education and foreign language methodology. This book can be read from cover to cover, but it is not necessary to do so. I encourage you to skip to chapters that you find relevant. Every chapter has a few sections which I labeled Personal Notes where I tried to spare you the academic style and provide some opportunities for reflections by means of my personal experiences, dilemmas, observations, and anecdotes. The chapters also have Highlights which tend to sum up or emphasize key elements in the textbook's segments for which I assumed it would be necessary. Every chapter ends with a few Questions for Reflections and Discussions which are meant to motivate you to reexamine your understanding of the reviewed and proposed ideas.  English | 2021 | ASIN : B09BRHBHR1 | 409 pages | PDF, AZW3, EPUB, MOBI | 37.8 MB Why Study System Design? Being good at system design helps you continue to climb the ladder, as you're making a more significant impact on the overall business. Being more senior in an organization has a considerable bump in compensation as well. There can be a significant difference in annual total compensation between a senior engineer and a staff engineer. That requires you to do well in a system design interview.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 9811578761 | 260 pages | pdf, epub | 35.5 MB The most crucial ability for machine learning and data science is mathematical logic for grasping their essence rather than knowledge and experience. This textbook approaches the essence of machine learning and data science by considering math problems and building Python programs. As the preliminary part, Chapter 1 provides a concise introduction to linear algebra, which will help novices read further to the following main chapters. Those succeeding chapters present essential topics in statistical learning: linear regression, classification, resampling, information criteria, regularization, nonlinear regression, decision trees, support vector machines, and unsupervised learning.

This language is one of the most popular in the current world, which is why this book is likely to be of great interest to you. There are three elements to mastering a language: having an extensive vocabulary that is useful in daily discourse, having the comfort of being able to speak to a stranger without worrying about making errors, and being able to understand 90% of a news broadcast in that language. This book will help with the first and third of these.

 English | 2021 | ISBN: 036769834X | 531 pages | True PDF | 14.85 MB Writing and running software is now as much a part of science as telescopes and test tubes, but most researchers are never taught how to do either well. As a result, it takes them longer to accomplish simple tasks than it should, and it is harder for them to share their work with others than it needs to be. This book introduces the concepts, tools, and skills that researchers need to get more done in less time and with less pain. Based on the practical experiences of its authors, who collectively have spent several decades teaching software skills to scientists, it covers everything graduate-level researchers need to automate their workflows, collaborate with colleagues, ensure that their results are trustworthy, and publish what they have built so that others can build on it. The book assumes only a basic knowledge of Python as a starting point, and shows readers how it, the Unix shell, Git, Make, and related tools can give them more time to focus on the research they actually want to do.
