 Thinking About Statistics; The Philosophical Foundations by Jun Otsuka English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032326107 | 204 pages | True PDF | 17.14 MB Simply stated, this book bridges the gap between statistics and philosophy. It does this by delineating the conceptual cores of various statistical methodologies (Bayesian/frequentist statistics, model selection, machine learning, causal inference, etc.) and drawing out their philosophical implications. Portraying statistical inference as an epistemic endeavor to justify hypotheses about a probabilistic model of a given empirical problem, the book explains the role of ontological, semantic, and epistemological assumptions that make such inductive inference possible. From this perspective, various statistical methodologies are characterized by their epistemological nature: Bayesian statistics by internalist epistemology, classical statistics by externalist epistemology, model selection by pragmatist epistemology, and deep learning by virtue epistemology.  The Univac Corporation: In from the Beginning by Stephen H. Kaisler, Author; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1527576345 | 469 pages | True PDF | 6.86 MB Univac Corporation (now Unisys) has been an innovator in computer systems since the early 1960s. Univac (then Remington Rand), built the first commercial computer, the Univac I. This volume continues the story of Univac (later Unisys) computer systems from the Univac 1105. Its successors―the early Univac 1100 machines―helped to establish the concept of a family of computer systems. It was one of the first to develop and deploy a multidimensional operating system that supported interactive, real-time, and batch processing. Ease of access and operation in all modes was especially attractive to scientific and academic communities. It was instrumental in developing COBOL and DMS-1100 for business data processing. The upward compatibility of the Univac 1100 series machines from the Univac 1107 to the Sperry 2200 series demonstrated how evolutionary development could protect its customer's investment while continually enhancing performance. As one of the founders of the computing industry, Univac has survived over 60 years of expansion and consolidation to survive as part of Unisys as one of the two remaining mainframe manufacturers.  The Story of Gaia by Currivan, Jude; English | 2022 | ISBN: 164411531X | 326 pages | True EPUB | 6.14 MB * Examines our emergence as self-aware members of a Universe that is itself a unified and innately sentient entity that exists TO evolve  The Silence of the Stands by Gray, Daniel; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1399404067 | 177 pages | True PDF EPUB | 9.61 MB 'Powerful and poignant' Henry Winter  The Search for Meaning at Work: Unleashing the Hidden Power of Purpose to Engage and Fulfill Your Workforce by STEPHEN VAN VALIN English | 2022 | ISBN: 1538152118 | 305 pages | True PDF EPUB | 8.73 MB Offers a path to purpose and meaning at work to engage and support employees at every level.  The Science of Alpine Ski Racing by James Pritchard English | 2022 | ISBN: 1032193492 | 250 pages | True PDF | 6.16 MB Alpine skiing or downhill skiing is defined by six disciplines: Downhill, Super G, Giant Slalom, Slalom, Parallel, and Combined that test the athletes' technical abilities and speed. It has long been a popular sport with many national and international championships and is a mainstay of the Winter Olympic Games.  The Saffron Genome by Jyoti Vakhlu, Sheetal Ambardar, Seyed Alireza Salami, Chittaranjan Kole English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031099990 | 302 pages | True PDF EPUB | 57.38 MB This book is about Saffron ( Crocus sativus L.) that is the most expensive spice in the world. Though there are other books on saffron but none of them has comprehensive information on saffron genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome and microbiome. The book has been divided into five sections and 17 chapters that cover all the areas related to its cultivation, market & economy, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, tissue culture, microbiomics, metagenomics etc. In addition a chapter on molecular markers and their use in molecular genetic mapping in saffron that lacks genetic diversity as a sterile plant paves a way for selection of elite varieties based on the epigenetic variability. A section on in-vitro propagation elaborates on the corm production under controlled conditions. In summary this book encompasses most of the information available on this golden spice  The Routledge Handbook of Autonomy by Ben Colburn English | 2022 | ISBN: 036725820X | 489 pages | True PDF | 6.58 MB The question of autonomy is fundamental to understanding some of the most important questions and debates in contemporary political and moral life, from freedom of the individual, free will and decision-making to controversies surrounding medical ethics, human rights and the justifications for state intervention. It is also a crucial concept for understanding the development of liberalism.  The Reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius, AD 138161 by John S McHugh; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1526773988 | 274 pages | True PDF EPUB | 42.04 MB The reign of Antoninus Pius is widely seen as the apogee of the Roman Empire yet, due to gaps in the historical sources, his reign has been overlooked by modern historians. He is considered one of the five good emperors of the Antonine dynasty under whom the pax Romana enabled the empire to prosper, trade to flourish and culture to thrive. His reign is considered a Golden Age but this was partly an image created by imperial propaganda. There were serious conflicts in North Africa and Dacia, as well as a major revolt in Britain. On his death the empire stood on the cusp of the catastrophic invasions and rebellions that marked the reign of his successor Marcus Aurelius.  The Postwar Economic Order: National Reconstruction and International Cooperation by Albert O. Hirschman English | 2023 | ISBN: 0231200587 | 366 pages | True EPUB | 6.38 MB Years before he became renowned as one of the most original social scientists of the twentieth century, Albert O. Hirschman played an active role in the rebuilding of postwar Europe. Between 1946 and 1952, he worked as an economic analyst in the Research Division of the Federal Reserve Board of the United States, focusing on the reconstruction of Europe and the Marshall Plan. In that capacity, Hirschman wrote a number of reports about European economic policies, the first efforts at intra-European cooperation, and the uncertainties that surrounded the shaping of a new international economic order with the United States at its core. |
