![]() Anas Iqtait, "Funding and the Quest for Sovereignty in Palestine" English | ISBN: 3031194772 | 2023 | 171 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book explores the political economy of governance in Palestine. It makes a unique contribution to studies of governance and political economy using the Palestinian Authority (PA) as a case study, introducing and developing the concept of 'dual rentierism'. The author uses primary research to chart the evolution of the fiscal sociology of the PA and explore how it has shaped the PA's economic policies and the state-society relationship in the Palestinian Territories. The book adopts a critical political economy approach, making the case that external sources of PA income represent political rents that need to be disaggregated and studied concurrently. It further focuses on the drivers and constraints that have shaped the PA's policy development and state-building associated with its dependence on external revenues. Ultimately, the book elaborates on how the need for fiscal survivability has thwarted the Palestinian quest for statehood. ![]() Fundamentals of Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Medicine English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031195019 | 316 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 30 MB This book provides an accessible introduction to the foundations of machine learning and deep learning in medicine for medical students, researchers, and professionals who are not necessarily initiated in advanced mathematics but yearn for a better understanding of this disruptive technology and its impact on medicine. Once an esoteric subject known to few outside of computer science and engineering departments, today artificial intelligence (AI) is a widely popular technology used by scholars from all across the academic universe. In particular, recent years have seen a great deal of interest in the AI subfields of machine learning and deep learning from researchers in medicine and life sciences, evidenced by the rapid growth in the number of articles published on the topic in peer-reviewed medical journals over the last decade. The demand for high-quality educational resources in this area has never been greater than it is today, and will only continue to grow at a rapid pace. ![]() Fabio Silva Botelho, "Functional Analysis, Calculus of Variations and Numerical Methods for Models in Physics and Engineering" English | ISBN: 0367510030, 0367356740 | 2022 | 588 pages | PDF | 5 MB The book discusses basic concepts of functional analysis, measure and integration theory, calculus of variations and duality and its applications to variational problems of non-convex nature, such as the Ginzburg-Landau system in superconductivity, shape optimization models, dual variational formulations for micro-magnetism and others. Numerical Methods for such and similar problems, such as models in flight mechanics and the Navier-Stokes system in fluid mechanics have been developed through the generalized method of lines, including their matrix finite dimensional approximations. It concludes with a review of recent research on Riemannian geometry applied to Quantum Mechanics and Relativity. ![]() From the Internet of Things to the Internet of Ideas: The Role of Artificial Intelligence English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031177452 | 727 Pages | PDF (True) | 14 MB This book shows latest research on the role Artificial inelegance in enabling IoT to evoke IoI, and how IoI flourish inside technologies like social media platforms, social networks: communities of practice/interest, to assure a globally sustainable unit where humans integrate with machines to collaboratively share ideas and solve complex problems. Such a book holds several benefits. It will reveal theoretical practical, and managerial implications through discussions that will embrace a wide array of technologies focused on the role of AI enabled IoT to evoke IoI. ![]() Koritha Mitchell, "From Slave Cabins to the White House: Homemade Citizenship in African American Culture " English | ISBN: 0252086317 | 2021 | 296 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Koritha Mitchell analyzes canonical texts by and about African American women to lay bare the hostility these women face as they invest in traditional domesticity. Instead of the respectability and safety granted white homemakers, black women endure pejorative labels, racist governmental policies, attacks on their citizenship, and aggression meant to keep them in "their place." ![]() Lynette Sheridan Burns, "Foster Youth in the Mediasphere: Lived Experience and Digital Lives in the Australian Out-Of-Home Care System" English | ISBN: 3031179528 | 2022 | 158 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book considers the impact of digital media and technology on lived experience for young people in foster care. While the extent and intricacies of foster care―known as out-of-home care (OOHC) in Australia, where this study takes place―are not widely understood by the general public, youth in care might struggle to construct a personal identity that goes beyond reflecting the stereotypes and stigma by which they are often recognised. In today's digital environment, media can play a significant role in any individual's developing sense of self, identity, and belonging. Deitz and Sheridan Burns examine OOHC through the lens of networked media environments and investigate the conditions that encourage belonging and resilience in order to establish the role that digital technology can play in supporting those conditions for individuals, family networks, and the care sector. ![]() Matthew Mewhinney, "Form and Feeling in Japanese Literati Culture" English | ISBN: 3031119215 | 2022 | 271 pages | PDF | 7 MB This book explores how two early modern and two modern Japanese writers - Yosa Buson (1716-83), Ema Saikō (1787-1861), Masaoka Shiki (1867-1902), and Natsume Sōseki (1867-1916) - experimented with the poetic artifice afforded by the East Asian literati (bunjin) tradition, a repertoire of Chinese and Japanese poetry and painting. Their experiments generated a poetics of irony that transformed the lineaments of lyric expression in literati culture and advanced the emergence of modern prose poetry in Japanese literature. Through rigorous close readings, this study changes our understanding of the relationship between lyric form and the representation of self, sense, and feeling in Japanese poetic writing from the late eighteenth through the early twentieth century. The book aims to reach a broad audience, including specialists in East Asian Studies, Anglophone literary studies, and Comparative Literature. ![]() Forex Trading Strategies for Beginners: How to Become a Forex Prop Trader Using Fibonacci, Technical Analysis, Risk Management and Trading Psychology by Will Weiser, Khai Lannor English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BGQXXP1S | 93 pages | EPUB | 1.73 Mb If you want to discover how to become a thriving Forex trader, this book is for you! ![]() Finitely Supported Mathematics: An Introduction by Andrei Alexandru, Gabriel Ciobanu English | PDF(True) | 2016 | 188 Pages | ISBN : 3319422812 | 1.69 MB In this book the authors present an alternative set theory dealing with a more relaxed notion of infiniteness, called finitely supported mathematics (FSM). It has strong connections to the Fraenkel-Mostowski (FM) permutative model of Zermelo-Fraenkel (ZF) set theory with atoms and to the theory of (generalized) nominal sets. More exactly, FSM is ZF mathematics rephrased in terms of finitely supported structures, where the set of atoms is infinite (not necessarily countable as for nominal sets). In FSM, 'sets' are replaced either by `invariant sets' (sets endowed with some group actions satisfying a finite support requirement) or by `finitely supported sets' (finitely supported elements in the powerset of an invariant set). It is a theory of `invariant algebraic structures' in which infinite algebraic structures are characterized by using their finite supports. ![]() André Aciman, "Find Me: A Novel" English | 2020 | ISBN: 1250758076, 0374155011 | EPUB | pages: 272 | 0.8 mb A New York Times Bestseller |
