 English | 2022 | ISBN: 1640093303 | 352 pages | True EPUB | 2.75 MB An exploration of American ideas of utopia through the lens of one millennial's quest to live a more communal life under late-stage capitalism Told in a series of essays that balance memoir with fieldwork,Heaven Is a Place on Earthis an idiosyncratic study of American utopian experiments-from the Shakers to the radical faerie communes of Short Mountain to the Bronx rebuilding movement-through the lens of one woman's quest to create a more communal life in a time of unending economic and social precarity.
 English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032231254 | 449 pages | True PDF | 272.27 MB Exploring the interrelations between generalized metric spaces, lattice-ordered groups, and order statistics, the book contains a new algebraic approach to Signal Processing Theory. It describes mathematical concepts and results important in the development, analysis, and optimization of signal processing algorithms intended for various applications. The book offers a solution of large-scale Signal Processing Theory problems of increasing both signal processing efficiency under prior uncertainty conditions and signal processing rate that is provided by multiplication-free signal processing algorithms based on lattice-ordered group operations. From simple basic relationships to computer simulation, the text covers a wide range of new mathematical techniques essential for understanding the proposed signal processing algorithms developed for solving the following problems: signal parameter and spectral estimation, signal filtering, detection, classification, and resolution; array signal processing; demultiplexing and demodulation in multi-channel communication systems and multi-station networks; wavelet analysis of 1D/ 2D signals. Along with discussing mathematical aspects, each chapter presents examples illustrating operation of signal processing algorithms developed for various applications.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032226544 | 227 pages | True PDF | 13.18 MB Flexible Batterieshighlights the key advances in flexible batteries, a booming new direction in the energy storage field. The authors first introduce lithium-ion batteries, which are currently the most widely used batteries. Flexible aqueous batteries such as aqueous lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and zinc-ion batteries are discussed subsequently due to the safety concerns in organic electrolytes. Since flexible metal-air batteries are recognized as primary choices for the next generation, the authors take lithium-air and aluminum-air batteries as examples to explore their applications in flexible battery construction. They further summarize flexible batteries under the most challenging working conditions such as stretching and integrating flexible batteries with flexible energy harvesting devices, sensors, and supercapacitors.

I am an actor, a theatre director, a father, and a husband. I am also a man with autism. You think those things don't go together? Let me show you that they do.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032288426 | 487 pages | True PDF | 41.11 MB The newer research areas in pharmaceutical sciences, particularly molecular modeling and simulations, prompted a more efficient drug discovery process. Informatics integrated with pharmaceutical sciences (cheminformatics and bioinformatics) became an essential component of drug research. Drug informatics such as genomics and proteomics assists in the Rational Drug Design (RDD). This emerging discipline is known as "Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD)", which has profound application in rational drug design (RDD). The advanced and adequate practice in drug design informatics is essential for pharmacy graduates. Hence, a companion for acquiring knowledge on these concepts is vital. The students of B. Pharmacy, M. Pharmacy (Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmacology, and Pharmaceutics), biotechnology, biomedical engineering and other interdisciplinary fields may find this book as a reference guide. The salient features of this book are:  English | 2022 | ISBN: 0063050838 | 283 pages | True EPUB | 1.14 MB In the spirit of works by Jia Tolentino and Anne Helen Peterson, a smart and incisive essay collection centered on the fashion industry-its history, its importance, why we wear what we wear, and why it matters-from Elle Magazine's fashion features director. Why does fashion hold so much power over us? Most of us care about how we dress and how we present ourselves. Style offers clues about everything from class to which in-group we belong to. Bad Feminist for fashion, Dress Code takes aim at the institutions within the fashion industry while reminding us of the importance of dress and what it means for self-presentation. Everything-from societal changes to the progress (or lack thereof) of women's rights to the hidden motivations behind what we choose to wear to align ourselves with a particular social group-can be tracked through clothing.

And if you ask Ali Drucker, young women also deserve more-like time to explore what turns them on, space to voice their needs, self-compassion after a hookup goes sideways, and yes (obviously): pleasure! It's hard to overstate how much we put pressure on early sexual encounters- and how little real advice is out there.How do I deal when I keep running into my one-night stand? How can I tell if I'm too drunk to have sex? How do I say stop when I'm not really into it? Why do I keep getting all these UTIs?
 English | 2022 | ISBN: 0323857833 | 200 pages | True pdf, epub | 29.61 MB Deep Learning on Edge Computing Devices: Design Challenges of Algorithm and Architecturefocuses on hardware architecture and embedded deep learning, including neural networks. The title helps researchers maximize the performance of Edge-deep learning models for mobile computing and other applications by presenting neural network algorithms and hardware design optimization approaches for Edge-deep learning. Applications are introduced in each section, and a comprehensive example, smart surveillance cameras, is presented at the end of the book, integrating innovation in both algorithm and hardware architecture. Structured into three parts, the book covers core concepts, theories and algorithms and architecture optimization. This book provides a solution for researchers looking to maximize the performance of deep learning models on Edge-computing devices through algorithm-hardware co-design.
