 Aditya Sharma, Vishwesh Ravi Shrimali, Michael Beyeler, "Machine Learning for OpenCV 4: Intelligent algorithms for building image processing apps using OpenCV 4, Python, and scikit-learn, 2nd Edition" English | 2019 | pages: 405 | ISBN: 1789536308 | PDF | 20,9 mb A practical guide to understanding the core machine learning and deep learning algorithms, and implementing them to create intelligent image processing systems using OpenCV 4  Jonathan Levin, "MacOS and iOS Internals, Volume III: Security & Insecurity" English | 2016 | ISBN: 0991055535 | 540 pages | PDF (scan) | 21.4 MB In this third and final volume of the "Mac OS and *OS Internals" trilogy, Jonathan Levin takes on the security of Apple's OSes. Part I of this volume explores the mechanisms and techniques employed - Including Auditing, Authentication, the MAC Framework, Code Signing, Sandboxing, SIP, AMFI and more - most of which are documented for the first time. Part II then discusses historical vulnerabilities in MacOS 10.10 and 10.11, as well as all modern exploits - from Evasi0n (iOS6) through Yalu for iOS 10.2 (including KPP bypass) and the latest async_wake (for 11.1.2) in unprecedented detail - showing both the vulnerabilities and their exploitation methods, step by step. With no source code for most of Apple's components or jailbreaks, the approach taken is that of deep reverse engineering, with plenty of hands-on examples, illustrations and decompilation of code. The book has also been updated with an appendix detailing the changes in iOS 12 and MacOS 10.14. The book's companion website (NewOSXBook.com) is full of tools, a fully searchable online index, samples, other bonus material for this book, and also offers a direct buying option.  Jonathan Levin, "MacOS and iOS Internals, Volume II: Kernel Mode" English | 2019 | ISBN: 0991055578 | 500 pages | PDF (scan) | 23.6 MB In this second volume of the "Mac OS and *OS Internals" trilogy, Jonathan Levin takes on the kernel and hardware aspects of Macs and i-Devices. Starting with an examination of the kernel sources, then going off the beaten path to undocumented portions, especially in the *OS variants. This book explains in detail the various components of XNU - BSD, Mach, platform expert, Kernel Extensions and the IOKit environment. It goes further into memory management (vm_map , pmap and the kernel zone allocator), processes, threads, Mach IPC internals, the Virtual Filesystem Switch, and more. Never before published details about the Apple File System (APFS), Secure Enclave Processor OS (SEPOS), iBoot, Mac EFI and more are explained in meticulous detail and fine illustrations. Numerous experiments allow a hands-on approach, making this invaluable to anyone who wishes to learn more about how the XNU kernel operates - and how to interface with its darkest and most powerful mechanisms. This book is only offered for direct purchase via newosxbook.com, where it also has a fully searchable online index.  Jonathan Levin, "MacOS and iOS Internals, Volume I: User Mode (v1.3)" English | 2017 | ISBN: 099105556X | 540 pages | PDF (scan) | 23.1 MB In this first volume of the "Mac OS and *OS Internals" trilogy, Jonathan Levin takes on the user mode components of Apple's operating systems. Starting with an introduction as to their layered architecture, touring private frameworks and libraries, and then delving into the internals of applications, process, thread and memory management, Mach messaging, launchd and XPC internals, and wrapping up with advanced debugging and tracing techniques using the most powerful APIs that were hitherto unknown and unused outside Apple's own applications. As with the other books in this series, the approach taken is that of deep reverse engineering, with plenty of hands-on examples, illustrations, pointers to Apple's open sources (when available) and decompilation of code (when not). This volume (v1.3) has been expanded with over 15 more pages for Darwin 19 (MacOS 15/iOS13) , with brand new content of MacOS and iOS installation images and procedures. The book's companion website (NewOSXBook.com) is full of tools, samples and other bonus material for this book, and also offers a direct buying option.

 Janine A. Clark, "Local Politics in Jordan and Morocco: Strategies of Centralization and Decentralization " English | ISBN: 0231183585 | 2018 | 416 pages | EPUB | 510 KB In recent years, authoritarian states in the Middle East and North Africa have faced increasing international pressure to decentralize political power. Decentralization is presented as a panacea that will foster good governance and civil society, helping citizens procure basic services and fight corruption. Two of these states, Jordan and Morocco, are monarchies with elected parliaments and recent experiences of liberalization. Morocco began devolving certain responsibilities to municipal councils decades ago, while Jordan has consistently followed a path of greater centralization. Their experiences test such assumptions about the benefits of localism.  Thomas G. Johnson, "Local Infrastructure Investment in Rural America" English | ISBN: 0367013975 | 2021 | 314 pages | EPUB | 1080 KB Originally published in 1988, this is a collection of symposium papers examining the link between public infrastructure and economic growth. Subjects covered include Economic theories of infrastructure Decision-making, Issues in the supply of Public infrastructure, Life cycle behaviour and the demand for infrastructure, limitations, financial sources and budgeting, the role of the local and federal government, different models and case studies in South Carolina, North Dakota, and the Pennsylvania Agricultural Access Program  Natasha Fijn, "Living with Herds: Human-Animal Coexistence in Mongolia" English | ISBN: 1107000904 | 2011 | 302 pages | PDF | 3 MB Domestic animals have lived with humans for thousands of years and remain essential to the everyday lives of people throughout the world. In this book, Natasha Fijn examines the process of animal domestication in a study that blends biological and social anthropology, ethology, and ethnography. She examines the social behavior of humans and animals in a contemporary Mongolian herding society. After living with Mongolian herding families, Dr. Fijn has observed through firsthand experience both sides of the human-animal relationship. Examining their reciprocal social behavior and communication with one another, she demonstrates how herd animals influence Mongolian herders' lives and how the animals themselves are active partners in the domestication process. |
