 Assessing the Implicit Personality Through Conditional Reasoning By Lawrence R. James, James M. LeBreton 2011 | 244 Pages | ISBN: 1433810573 | PDF | 2 MB In this groundbreaking volume, Lawrence R. James and James M. LeBreton introduce a novel conditional reasoning (CR) framework to indirectly assess the implicit personality-the unconscious, inaccessible component of personality that governs much of our behavior but has always been difficult to measure. The authors demonstrate how specific choices on specially constructed inductive reasoning problems positively correlate with the test taker's personality-either prosocial or aggressive-with the latter informed by unconscious negative cognitive biases and salient rationalizations for socially unacceptable aggression, and for achievement motivation and fear of failure. The authors conclude this book by exploring the other inductive reasoning problem content domains of depression, addiction proneness, and "toxic leadership" through CR testing.

In this context, the book focuses on problems in engineering and discusses research using artificial intelligence and applied mathematics.  John A. Lawrence, "Arc of Power: Inside Nancy Pelosi's Speakership, 2005-2010" English | ISBN: 0700633790 | 2022 | 384 pages | EPUB | 1395 KB Drawing from his thousands of pages of notes written while serving as Chief of Staff to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, John Lawrence has written a narrative documenting his insider perspective from 2005 to 2010. These momentous years included furious political and legislative battles over the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the economic recession, the 2008 presidential election, the productive first two years of Barack Obama's presidency, as well as many key legislative products, such as the Troubled Assets Relief Program, the Affordable Care Act, and Wall Street reform.  Applied Evolutionary Algorithms in Java by Robert Ghanea-Hercock English | PDF(True) | 2003 | 232 Pages | ISBN : 1468495267 | 17.83 MB Genetic algorithms provide a powerful range of methods for solving complex engineering search and optimization algorithms. Their power can also lead to difficulty for new researchers and students who wish to apply such evolution-based methods. Applied Evolutionary Algorithms in JAVA offers a practical, hands-on guide to applying such algorithms to engineering and scientific problems.  Antiquities: What Everyone Needs to Know by Maxwell L. Anderson English | December 1, 2016 | ISBN: 0190614935 | 272 pages | EPUB | 0.38 Mb The destruction of ancient monuments and artworks by the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has shocked observers worldwide. Yet iconoclastic erasures of the past date back at least to the mid-1300s BCE, during the Amarna Period of ancient Egypt's 18th dynasty. Far more damage to the past has been inflicted by natural disasters, looters, and public works.  Antarctica: What Everyone Needs to Know® by David Day English | May 30, 2019 | ISBN: 0190641320 | 214 pages | EPUB | 1.62 Mb In this addition to the What Everyone Needs to Know® series, David Day examines the most forbidding and formidably inaccessible continent on Earth. For over a century following its discovery by European explorers in 1820, Antarctica played host to competing claims by rival nations vying for access to the frozen land's vast marine resources - namely the skins and oils of seals and whales. Though the Antarctic Treaty of 1959 was meant to end this contention, countries have found other means of extending control over the land, with scientific bases establishing at least symbolic claims. Exploration and drilling by the United States, Great Britain, Russia, Japan, and others has led to discoveries about the world's climate in centuries past - and in the process intimations of its alarming future.  Anatomy: A commented study guide for beginner artists by Edric Linhares English | November 11, 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BM68GCDX | 63 pages | EPUB | 23 Mb A book for beginner artists that are starting to learn the human figure  An Introduction to Redox Polymers for Energy-Storage Applications English | 2023 | ISBN: 352735090X | 530 Pages | PDF, EPUB (True) | 128 MB An Introduction to Redox Polymers for Energy-Storage Applications discusses fundamental aspects related to polymer-based batteries, such as types of batteries, their historic development, design and synthesis criteria of the active material, and summarizes the various types of redox polymers and their applications. Each chapter contains learning objectives, summary boxes, and questions to allow for efficient exam preparation.  American Locomotives in Historic Photographs: 1858 to 1949 (Dover Transportation) edited by Ron Ziel English | May 14, 1993 | ISBN: 0486136191, 0486273938 | True EPUB | 144 pages | 151 MB This rare collection of 126 "builder portraits" of American locomotives offers an exciting cavalcade of images that chronicle the momentous rise of steam locomotive power in America. Builder portraits are especially prized by railway historians because they are the exacting official photographs of new models taken before repairs, alterations, and weathering altered their original appearance. The builder portraits reprinted here were selected from the William A. Rogers collection, a priceless archive of images documenting the history of American steam locomotion from the pre-Civil War era to the mid-20th century. |
