 Grand Recipe Ideas to Try with Greek Yogurt: Looking For What to Do with Greek Yogurt? Find Out in This Cookbook! by Keanu Wood English | 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B09DVZB45L | 74 pages | EPUB | 3.19 Mb Although its existence originates from Greece, as the name implies, the use of the Greek Yogurt has broadened and widened across the different countries of the world from generation to generation.  Damion L. Thomas, "Globetrotting: African American Athletes and Cold War Politics" English | 2017 | ISBN: 025208263X, 0252037170 | PDF | pages: 231 | 4.0 mb Throughout the Cold War, the Soviet Union deplored the treatment of African Americans by the U.S. government as proof of hypocrisy in the American promises of freedom and equality. This probing history examines government attempts to manipulate international perceptions of U.S. race relations during the Cold War by sending African American athletes abroad on goodwill tours and in international competitions as cultural ambassadors and visible symbols of American values. Damion L. Thomas follows the State Department's efforts from 1945 to 1968 to showcase prosperous African American athletes including Jackie Robinson, Jesse Owens, and the Harlem Globetrotters as the preeminent citizens of the African Diaspora rather than as victims of racial oppression. With athletes in baseball, track and field, and basketball, the government relied on figures whose fame carried the desired message to countries where English was little understood. However, eventually African American athletes began to provide counter-narratives to State Department claims of American exceptionalism, most notably with Tommie Smith and John Carlos's famous black power salute at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.  Global Comparability of Financial Reporting Under IFRS: Does Comparability Enhance Value Relevance of Earnings Across Countries? English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031151550 | 200 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 7 MB  Getting Started in Quantum Optics English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031124316 | 220 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 24 MB This book, based on classroom-tested lecture notes, provides a self-contained one semester undergraduate course on quantum optics, accessible to students (and other readers) who have completed an introductory quantum mechanics course and are familiar with Dirac notation and the concept of entanglement. The book covers canonical quantization, the harmonic oscillator, vacuum fluctuations, Fock states, the single photon state, quantum optical treatment of the beam splitter and the interferometer, multimode quantized light, and coherent and incoherent states. Metrology is a particular area of emphasis, with the book culminating in a treatment of squeezed light and its use in the laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory (LIGO). The Heisenberg limit is described, along with NOON states and their application in super-sensitivity, super-resolution and quantum lithography. Applications of entanglement and coincidence measurements are described including ghost imaging, quantum illumination, absolute photodetector calibration, and interaction-free measurement. With quantum optics playing a central role in the so-called "second quantum revolution," this book, equipped with plenty of exercises and worked examples, will leave students well prepared to enter graduate study or industry.  Get Set Procreate 5: A practical guide to illustrating on an iPad filled with tips, tricks, and best practices English | 2022 | ISBN: 1800563000 | 592 Pages | PDF EPUB MOBI (True) | 280 MB Procreate is robust, industry-grade painting software that is extremely versatile yet an affordable alternative to subscription-based applications. If you're new to Procreate, Get Set Procreate 5 will help you get up to speed with creating professional illustrations in no time.  Genetic Algorithms + Data Structures = Evolution Programs, Second, Extended Edition by Zbigniew Michalewicz English | PDF | 1994 | 345 Pages | ISBN : N/a | 28.2 MB Genetic algorithms are founded upon the principle of evolution, i.e., survival of the fittest. Hence evolution programming techniques, based on genetic algorithms, are applicable to many hard optimization problems, such as optimization of functions with linear and nonlinear constraints, the traveling salesman problem, and problems of scheduling, partitioning, and control. The importance of these techniques has been growing in the last decade, since evolution programs are parallel in nature, and parallelism is one of the most promising directions in computer science.  Genes: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) by Jonathan Slack English | December 1, 2014 | ISBN: 019967650X | 119 pages | PDF | 1.14 Mb In this exploration of the concept of the gene, Jonathan Slack looks at the discovery, nature, and role of genes in both evolution and development. Explaining the nature of genetic variation in the human population, how hereditary factors were identified as molecules of DNA, and how certain specific mutations can lead to disease, Slack highlights how DNA variants are used to trace human ancestry and migration, and can also be used by forensic scientists to identify individuals in crime. Slack also explores issues such as the role of genetic heritability and IQ as well as the changes that occur in the genes of populations during evolution.  Generative Deep Learning, 2nd Edition (5th Early Release) English | 2023 | ISBN: 9781098134174 | 286 Pages | EPUB | 43 MB Generative modeling is one of the hottest topics in AI. It is now possible to teach a machine to excel at human endeavors such as painting, writing, and composing music. With this practical book, machine learning engineers and data scientists will discover how to re-create some of the most impressive examples of generative deep learning models such as variational autoencoders, generative adversarial networks (GANs), Transformers, normalizing flows, and diffusion models.  John Wegg - General Dynamics Aircraft and their Predecessors (Putnam Aviation Series) Putnam Aeronautical | 1990 | ISBN: 0870212338 | English | 255 pages | PDF | 118.46 MB  Gendered Geographies in Puerto Rican Culture: Spaces, Sexualities, Solidarities By Radost Rangelova 2016 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 1469626160 | PDF | 1 MB This is a critical study of the construction of gendered spaces through feminine labor and capital in Puerto Rican literature and film (1950-2010). It analyzes gendered geographies and forms of emotional labor, and the possibility that they generate within the material and the symbolic spaces of the family house, the factory, the beauty salon and the brothel. It argues that by challenging traditional images of femininity texts by authors and film directors like Rosario Ferre, Carmen Lugo Filippi, Magali Garcia Ramis, Mayra Santos-Febres, Sonia Fritz and Ana Maria Garcia, among others, contest the official Puerto Rican cultural nationalist discourse on gender and nation, and propose alternatives to its spatial tropes through feminine labor and solidarities.The book's theoretical framework encompasses recent feminist geographers' conceptualizations of the relationship between space and gender, patriarchy, knowledge, labor and the everyday. It engages with the work of Gillian Rose, Rosemary Hennessy, Doreen Massey, Patricia Hill Collins, and Katherine McKittrick, to argue that spaces are instrumental in resisting intersecting oppressions, in subverting traditional national models and in constructing alternative imaginaries. By introducing Caribbean cultural production and Latin American thought to the concerns of feminist and cultural geographers, it recasts their understanding of Puerto Rico as a neo-colonial space that urges a rethinking of gender in relation to the nation. |
