 Shakespeare's Storms by Gwilym Jones English | December 31, 2014 | ISBN: 0719089387, 1526116820 | True EPUB | 216 pages | 0.5 MB Whether the apocalyptic storm of King Lear or the fleeting thunder imagery of Hamlet, the shipwrecks of the comedies or the thunderbolt of Pericles, there is an instance of storm in every one of Shakespeare's plays. This is the first comprehensive study of Shakespeare's storms.  Server Disk Management in a Windows Environment By Drew Robb 2003 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 0849324327 | PDF | 4 MB Hard drives and disk management receive scant attention from the industry press, yet recent surveys have identified disk failure as the #1 source of server downtime. Combine this fact with the skyrocketing TCO of data storage management, and it is apparent that server disk management is a subject deserving of much more scrutiny.Server Disk Management in a Windows Environment explains the basic elements of disks and disk architectures, and explores how to successfully manage and maintain functionality within a Windows environment. The author focuses on critical issues that are often ignored by other books on this subject, issues including disk quotas, fragmentation, optimization, hard drive reliability, asset management, software deployment, and system forensics.This book is a valuable resource for IT veterans and those who are less tech-savvy. Students and IT newcomers can access multiple definitions and examples of fundamentals such as disk organization, file systems, and basic maintenance actions. Chapters examining hardware and software management and industry trends provide further insight into how you can maintain and monitor disks, and have them perform at maximum efficiency.
 Serendipity: From Truffles and Champagne to Corn Flakes and Coffee: Stories of Accidental Success by Oscar Farinetti English | July 5th, 2022 | ISBN: 9781743822463 | 298 pages | True EPUB | 1.97 MB Oscar Farinetti, founder of high-end global food chain Eataly, presents this collection of insightful and entertaining interviews with leading artisan food producers, chefs, inventors and CEOs around the world. Reflecting on the accidental discoveries that gave birth to some of the world's most well-known gastronomic delights - including Nutella, the humble sandwich, french fries, the ice-cream cone, rum and balsamic vinegar - these serendipitous tales ponder humankind's never-ending quest to discover something new, and remind us that our mistakes, our flaws, our failures, can often be the most necessary ingredient in finding success.

Johnson, "Sencha Touch Mobile jаvascript Framework" English | ISBN: 1849515107 | 2012 | 316 pages | PDF | 8 MB Sencha Touch Mobile jаvascript Framework  Self-Portrait with Ghost: Short Stories by Meng Jin English | July 5, 2022 | ISBN: 0063160714 | True EPUB | 224 pages | 0.9 MB "A knockout short story collection...Each one of these 10 dizzyingly immersive stories offers up a heady and visceral portrait of what ails us, from isolation and self-doubt, to unrequited love and regret over what might have been, to what it means to be (and to be considered) an American." - San Francisco Chronicle
 Self-Organization as a New Paradigm in Evolutionary Biology: From Theory to Applied Cases in the Tree of Life by Anne Dambricourt Malassé English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 393 Pages | ISBN : 3031047826 | 58.5 MB The epistemological synthesis of the various theories of evolution, since the first formulation in 1802 with the transmission of the inherited characters by J.B. Lamarck, shows the need for an alternative synthesis to that of Princeton (1947). This new synthesis integrates the scientific models of self-organization developed during the second half of the 20th century based on the laws of physics, thermodynamics, and mathematics with the emergent evolutionary problematics such as self-organized memory.  Marieke de Goede, "Secrecy and Methods in Security Research" English | ISBN: 0367027232 | 2019 | 330 pages | EPUB | 2 MB This book analyses the challenges of secrecy in security research, and develops a set of methods to navigate, encircle and work with secrecy.  Taufik Abrão, "Search Algorithms for Engineering Optimization" English | 2013 | pages: 292 | ISBN: 9535109839 | PDF | 14,7 mb Heuristic Search is an important sub-discipline of optimization theory and finds applications in a vast variety of fields, including life science and engineering. Search methods have been useful in solving tough engineering-oriented problems that either could not be solved any other way or solutions take a very long time to be computed. This book explores a variety of applications for search methods and techniques in different fields of electrical engineering. By organizing relevant results and applications, this book will serve as a useful resource for students, researchers and practitioners to further exploit the potential of search methods in solving hard optimization problems that arise in advanced engineering technologies, such as image and video processing issues, detection and resource allocation in telecommunication systems, security and harmonic reduction in power generation systems, as well as redundancy optimization problem and search-fuzzy learning mechanisms in industrial applications.

 Andrew S. Townsend, "Safety Can't Be Measured: An Evidence-based Approach to Improving Risk Reduction" English | ISBN: 1409453111 | 2013 | 200 pages | EPUB | 2 MB The British Prime Minister has avowed to 'kill off the health and safety culture' which he described as 'a monster'. Nonetheless, industries face ever increasing public expectation and legislative pressure to improve safety when, actually, rates of safety improvement have slowed to a standstill. In Safety Can't Be Measured, Andrew Townsend suggests the main reason for the stagnation of safety improvement is the failure to recognise the evolution in accident causation and to evolve with it. He severely criticises some aspects of current day management of occupational safety and contends that everyone is trying to continuously improve something in which improvement cannot be measured, so the received wisdom underpinning safety management and regulation is not evidence-based and much of it is misguided. What is measured is the absence of safety - through incidents, injuries and the occurrence of ill health. We cannot continue to justify these ways of doing things, and claiming success by association, without admitting there might be other explanations. In this series of short chapters, occupational health and safety is put in context by demystifying the research, regulation and management of health and safety. Using evidence, Townsend challenges orthodox dogma by demonstrating that currently unused data could help deduce how safety really works, and thus support alternative thought processes from which new approaches to risk reduction and safety management could emerge. |
