 Self-Fulfilling Science English | 2021 | ISBN: 3110746336 | 202 Pages | PDF | 1 MB Claims that science may becoming 'self-fulfilling' through its impact on objects of study have recently risen to prominence. Despite radical statements about the supposed consequences of such accounts, however, the central notion of scientific self-fulfillment has remained obscure, leading to skewed views of its actual prevalence and significance. Self-Fulfilling Science illuminates this underexplored phenomenon, drawing on insights from philosophy of science to address questions of its conceptualization, prevalence, and significance. The book critically engages with the popular notion that economic theories of homo economicus exhibit self-fulfillment, and explores its relevance to various metaphysical, ethical, and epistemic issues. Extreme claims of fundamental incompatibility with our usual notions of scientific success are ill-founded. Instead, self-fulfillment's true epistemic significance lies in more local, nuanced philosophical issues such as theory evaluation and the thesis of underdetermination. In presenting a novel framework, this book facilitates deeper engagement with the developing field of self-fulfilling science, and is of interest to philosophers of science, social scientists, and social constructionists.  Security and Microservice Architecture on AWS English | 2022 | ISBN: 9781098101466 | 510 Pages | EPUB | 19 MB Security is usually an afterthought when organizations design microservices for cloud systems. Most companies today are exposed to potential security threats, but their responses are often more reactive than proactive. This leads to unnecessarily complicated systems that are hard to implement and even harder to manage and scale. Author Gaurav Raje shows you how to build highly secure systems on AWS without increasing overhead.  Science with the VLT in the ELT Era by Alan F.M. Moorwood English | PDF | 2009 | 474 Pages | ISBN : 1402091893 | 21.8 MB The Workshop "Science with the VLT in the ELT Era" held in Garching from 8th to 12th October 2007 was organised by ESO, with support from its Scienti c and Technical Committee, to provide a forum for the astronomical community to debate the long term future of ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) and its interferometric mode (VLTI). In particular it was considered useful for future planning to evaluate how its science use may evolve over the next decade due to competition and/or synergy with new facilities such as ALMA, JWST and, hopefully, at least one next generation 30-40 m extremely large telescope whose acronym appears in the title to symbolise this wider context.  Rotating Machinery, Optical Methods & Scanning LDV Methods, Volume 6 English | 2022 | ISBN: 303076334X | 192 Pages | PDF | 13 MB Rotating Machinery, Optical Methods & Scanning LDV Methods, Volume 6: Proceedings of the 39th IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics, 2021, the sixth volume of nine from the Conference brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Structural Health Monitoring, including papers on:  Rhythms of Broken Hearts: History, Manifestations, and Treatment of Heart Rhythm Disorders and Heart Disease English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030773817 | 325 Pages | PDF EPUB | 23 MB
 Resuscitation: Translational Research, Clinical Evidence, Education, Guidelines by Antonino Gullo English | EPUB | 2014 | 243 Pages | ISBN : 8847055067 | 1.7 MB Resuscitation is a two-stage process comprising the achievement/maintenance of spontaneous circulation and post-resuscitation management. The approach is complex and multifaceted and entails the integration of new physiological insights, pharmacological options, and technological advances. The purpose of this volume, written by top experts in the field, is to promote, share, and disseminate new advances in resuscitation and post-resuscitation care.
 Regional Fisheries Oceanography of the California Current System: The CalCOFI program by Sam McClatchie English | PDF | 2014 | 253 Pages | ISBN : 940077222X | 20.9 MB The California Current System is one of the best studied ocean regions of the world, and the level of oceanographic information available is perhaps only surpassed by the northeast and northwest Atlantic. The current literature (later than 1993) offers no comprehensive, integrated review of the regional fisheries oceanography of the California Current System.  Regenerative Biology of the Eye by Alice Pébay English | PDF | 2014 | 310 Pages | ISBN : 1493907867 | 7.2 MB This text is a comprehensive look at the current knowledge on stem cell application for vision loss, showcasing different types of stem cells (adult, embryonic, iPSCs) for diseases of the front and the back of the eye. It also highlights data obtained in various models from fish to human, as well as from the bionic eye project for vision regeneration. This volume in the Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine series is essential reading for stem cell biologists, ophthalmologists, advanced and graduate students, in addition to academics and medical staff who work in these disciplines.  Reading Bohr: Physics and Philosophy by Arkady Descriptionnitsky English | PDF | 2006 | 238 Pages | ISBN : 1402052537 | 4.2 MB This book offers a new perspective on Niels Bohr`s interpretation of quantum mechanics as complementarity, and on the relationships between physics and philosophy in Bohr`s work. The importance of quantum field theory for Bohr`s thinking has not been adequately addressed in the literature on Bohr. This book provides clarification of Bohr`s writings (which usually pose problems of reading), and an analysis of the role of quantum field theory in Bohr`s thinking.  Randomised Clinical Trials: Design, Practice and Reporting English | 2021 | ISBN: 1119524644 | 534 Pages | PDF | 12 MB Randomised Clinical Trials: Design, Practice and Reporting provides a detailed overview of the methodology for conducting clinical trials, including developing protocols, data capture, randomisation, analysis and reporting. Assuming no prior background, this user-friendly resource describes the statistical, regulatory, and practical components required for conducting randomised clinical trials. Numerous examples and case studies from industry, academia, and the research literature help readers understand each stage of the clinical trial process. |
