 Chandra Shekhar Kumar, "Elements of Competitive Programming : Dynamic Programming: 88 Problems with Solutions (A Functional Approach)" English | ASIN : B0BJ4VM3F5 | 2022 | 232 pages | PDF | 1 MB This book was planned as an aid to students preparing for competitive programming. Written in a problem-solution format, this is exceptionally convenient for analyzing common errors made by the coder in competitive coding sports, for reviewing different methods of solving the same problems and for discussing difficult questions of fundamentals of algorithms with focus on dynamic programming. Attention can be drawn to various aspects of the problem, certain fine points can be made, and a more thorough understanding of the fundamentals can be reached. The art of formulating and solving problems using dynamic programming can be learned only through active participation by the student.  Joseph Dumit, "Drugs for Life: How Pharmaceutical Companies Define Our Health" English | 2012 | ISBN: 0822348713 | PDF | pages: 277 | 1.7 mb Every year the average number of prescriptions purchased by Americans increases, as do healthcare expenditures, which are projected to reach one-fifth of the U.S. gross domestic product by 2020. In Drugs for Life, Joseph Dumit considers how our burgeoning consumption of medicine and cost of healthcare not only came to be, but also came to be taken for granted. For several years, Dumit attended pharmaceutical industry conferences; spoke with marketers, researchers, doctors, and patients; and surveyed the industry's literature regarding strategies to expand markets for prescription drugs. He concluded that underlying the continual growth in medications, disease categories, costs, and insecurity is a relatively new perception of ourselves as inherently ill and in need of chronic treatment. This perception is based on clinical trials that we have largely outsourced to pharmaceutical companies. Those companies in turn see clinical trials as investments and measure the value of those investments by the size of the market and profits that they will create. They only ask questions for which the answer is more medicine. Drugs for Life challenges our understanding of health, risks, facts, and clinical trials, the very concepts used by pharmaceutical companies to grow markets to the point where almost no one can imagine a life without prescription drugs.  Drowsiness Detection Using Image Processing By Hanojhan Rajahrajasingh 2019 | 60 Pages | ISBN: 3346082237 | PDF | 3 MB Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Engineering - Robotics, grade: 78, University of Sunderland, language: English, abstract: This report explains the final project, driver drowsiness detection system. When a driver doesn't get proper rest, they fall asleep while driving and this leads to fatal accidents. This particular issue demands a solution in the form of a system that is capable of detecting drowsiness and to take necessary actions to avoid accidents. The detection is achieved with three main steps, it begins with face detection and facial feature detection using the famous Viola Jones algorithm followed by eye tracking. By the use of correlation coefficient template matching, the eyes are tracked. Whether the driver is awake or asleep is identified by matching the extracted eye image with the externally fed template (open eyes and closed eyes) based on eyes opening and eyes closing, blinking is recognized. If the driver falling asleep state remains above a specific time (the threshold time) the vehicles stops and an alarm is activated by the use of a specific microcontroller, in this prototype an Arduino is used.  Droughts in Asian Monsoon Region By Rajib Shaw, Huy Nguyen 2011 | 206 Pages | ISBN: 0857248634 | PDF | 5 MB Drought is a slow-onset disaster. The impacts are invisible and are often reflected as a complex socio-economic phenomenon. Due to changes in the climatic conditions droughts are increasingly occurring in non-traditional drought prone areas. The Asian monsoon region is one of these areas where consecutive years of droughts are causing severe problems for the lives and livelihoods of the communities. The impacts are becoming increasingly more visible, and drawing the attention of policy makers and professionals from national and international levels. In this context, this book outlines the characteristics and challenges of the Asian monsoon drought and highlights innovative solutions and approaches undertaken in different parts of the region. A ready-reference for field practitioners it combines academic research and field practices, and builds on actual implementation experiences of drought risk reduction. Providing a thorough examination of the subject and region, chapters cover droughts in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka. It concludes with an article on cross-cutting experiences and drought risk reduction in the Asian Monsoon Region.  Tom Doyle, "Dreams and Visions: Is Jesus Awakening the Muslim World?"
