![]() Non-Homogeneous Markov Chains and Systems: Theory and Applications by P.-C.G. Vassiliou English | 2022 | ISBN: 978-1138034525 | 473 pages | True PDF | 6.56 MB Non-Homogeneous Markov Chains and Systems: Theory and Applications fulfills two principal goals. It is devoted to the study of non-homogeneous Markov chains in the first part, and to the evolution of the theory and applications of non-homogeneous Markov systems (populations) in the second. The book is self-contained, requiring a moderate background in basic probability theory and linear algebra, common to most undergraduate programs in mathematics, statistics, and applied probability. There are some advanced parts, which need measure theory and other advanced mathematics, but the readers are alerted to these so they may focus on the basic results. ![]() New Perspectives on Academic Writing by Herzogenrath, Bernd; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1350231533 | 217 pages | True PDF | 22.38 MB Particularly for the disciplines of the humanities and social sciences, for which writing is their lifeblood, the crisis in academic writing has become existential. It is not hard to diagnose the disease, and its causes. This book showcases what we desperately need: radical alternatives, experiments we can try out, ways of writing that don't just tweak the system but Description a different course altogether. This isn't just about finding new genres, for these only change the surface appearance without altering the underlying dynamic. Rather, the editor and contributors focus on finding new ways to join thinking both with writing and the things of which, and with which, we write. Each chapter brims with the kind of liveliness, outspokenness and urgency that their theme demands. Far from tiptoeing around the edifice of academia they are intent on stirring things up, reigniting their scholarship with a fuse of activism, in the hope of setting off an explosion that could send ripples throughout the academy. ![]() Networked Control Systems for Connected and Automated Vehicles by Alexander Guda English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031110579 | 1646 pages | True PDF EPUB | 275.9 MB This book is a collection of the latest research findings in such areas as networked multi-agent systems, co-design of communication and control, distributed control strategies that can cope with asynchrony between local loops, event-triggered control, modelling of network infrastructure, novel concepts of distributed control for networked and cyber-physical systems. The book contains the result of the latest research in the field of communication and control system design to support networked control systems with stringent real-time requirements. It introduces readers to research in the field of joint design of the control and communication protocol and presents the latest developments in the area of novel optimal control and scheduling designs under resource constraints. ![]() Money, Finance, Reality, Morality: A New Way to Address Old Problems by Edward Hadas; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1804410268 | 460 pages | True PDF | 8.46 MB Conventional explanations of the nature of money are weighed down by bad ideas and irrelevant historical evidence. The standard theory of finance is hampered by the lack of both sociological and ethical contextualization, and by sloppy thinking about numbers and time. Money, Finance, Reality, Morality addresses those weaknesses with truly novel models of how the economy, money, and finance actually work. ![]() Modern Signal Processing by Xian-Da Zhang, Tsinghua University Press, Xiyuan Wang, Dongxia Chang, Ling Zhang, Daoming Zhang English | 2023 | ISBN: 3110475553 | 602 pages | True PDF EPUB | 33.85 MB The book systematically introduces theories of frequently-used modern signal processing methods and technologies, and focuses discussions on stochastic signal, parameter estimation, modern spectral estimation, adaptive filter, high-order signal analysis and non-linear transformation in time-domain signal analysis. With abundant exercises, the book is an essential reference for graduate students in electrical engineering and information science. ![]() Modern Construction Handbook by Andrew Watts English | 2022 | ISBN: 3035624941 | 504 pages | PDF | 211.55 MB New edition of the popular handbook ![]() Modeling And Advanced Techniques In Modern Economics by Cagdas Hakan Aladag;Nihan Potas; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1800611749 | 328 pages | True PDF EPUB | 55.49 MB In the modern world, data is a vital asset for any organization, regardless of industry or size. The world is built upon data. However, data without knowledge is useless. The aim of this book, briefly, is to introduce new approaches that can be used to shape and forecast the future by combining the two disciplines of Statistics and Economics. ![]() Mindfulness in a Digital World by Dave Harley English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031194063 | 112 pages | True PDF EPUB | 6.75 MB Using a lens of mindfulness, this book explores how digital dependencies can displace attention and undermine attentional control, leading to experiences of stress and mindless involvement with digital technology. Using qualitative interviews with teachers and students of mindfulness programmes, the book explores the challenges and opportunities for reconciling digital interactions with mindful practice. A phenomenological analysis of participants' digital experiences shows three different imperatives (relating to digital capabilities, hyper-reality and algorithms), that can drive unconscious forms of interaction and encourage a delegation of attentional control that draws users away from the present moment. The book concludes by exploring the implications of these (extra-conscious) imperatives for understanding digital addiction. It also provides a set of guidelines for a digital approach to mindfulness practice that can encourage beneficial relationships with digital technology into the future. ![]() Microbial Nanotechnology by Vikas Kumar, Manoj Singh English | 2022 | ISBN: 3110754398 | 252 pages | True PDF EPUB | 75.06 MB Applications of microbial nanotechnology are currently emerging with new areas being explored. Biosynthesis of nanomaterials by microorganisms is a recently attracting interest as a new, exciting approach towards the development of 'greener' nano-manufacturing compared to traditional chemical and physical approaches. This book will cover recent advances of microbial nanotechnology in agriculture, industry, and health sectors. ![]() Mathematics: Its Historical Aspects, Wonders And Beyond by Arthur D Kramer;Alfred S Posamentier; English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811248575 | 403 pages | True PDF EPUB | 106.19 MB Whenever the topic of mathematics is mentioned, people tend to indicate their weakness in the subject as a result of not having enjoyed its instruction during their school experience. Many students unfortunately do not have very positive experiences when learning mathematics, which can result from teachers who have a tendency 'to teach to the test'. This is truly unfortunate for several reasons. First, basic algebra and geometry, which are taken by almost all students, are not difficult subjects, and all students should be able to master them with the proper motivational instruction. Second, we live in a technical age, and being comfortable with basic mathematics can certainly help you deal with life's daily challenges. Other, less tangible reasons, are the pleasure one can experience from understanding the many intricacies of mathematics and its relation to the real world, experiencing the satisfaction of solving a mathematical problem, and discovering the intrinsic beauty and historical development of many mathematical expressions and relationships. These are some of the experiences that this book is designed to deliver to the reader. |
