 Megan Harlan, "Mobile Home: A Memoir in Essays " English | ISBN: 0820357928 | 2020 | 184 pages | EPUB | 2 MB "Fascinating and lyrical memoir."-Booklist  Mixed-Effects Models and Small Area Estimation English | 2023 | ISBN: 9811994854 | 129 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 14 MB This book provides a self-contained introduction of mixed-effects models and small area estimation techniques. In particular, it focuses on both introducing classical theory and reviewing the latest methods. First, basic issues of mixed-effects models, such as parameter estimation, random effects prediction, variable selection, and asymptotic theory, are introduced. Standard mixed-effects models used in small area estimation, known as the Fay-Herriot model and the nested error regression model, are then introduced. Both frequentist and Bayesian approaches are given to compute predictors of small area parameters of interest. For measuring uncertainty of the predictors, several methods to calculate mean squared errors and confidence intervals are discussed. Various advanced approaches using mixed-effects models are introduced, from frequentist to Bayesian approaches. This book is helpful for researchers and graduate students in fields requiring data analysis skills as well as in mathematical statistics.  Mikulčice and Its Hinterland: An Archaeological Model for Medieval Settlement Patterns on the Middle Course of the Morava River (7th to Mid-13th Centuries) By Marek Hladík 2020 | 386 Pages | ISBN: 9004314334 | PDF | 18 MB Translated by Zuzana Heiden and Matúš Benkovič.In 'Mikulčice and Its Hinterland', Marek Hladík presents an archaeological model of social and economic relations in Great Moravia, which is built on an analysis of the settlement structure near one of the most significant centres of Great Moravia, the Mikulčice-Valy agglomeration. The book offers the first systematic and conceptual view of Mikulčice's relations with its economic hinterland. The author uses multidisciplinary research to interpret and understand the importance of the natural environment for the landscape settlement strategy, and to understand the relations between the fortified centre and its rural surroundings. Important methodological tools used by the author to answer the examined questions include non-destructive archaeological research, statistical modelling, and spatial analyses in the GIS environment  Corinne Hoisington, "Microsoft Visual Basic 2017 for Windows, Web, and Database Applications: Comprehensive" English | 2017 | ISBN: 1337102113 | PDF | pages: 771 | 213.0 mb Prepare for the number one job in todays tech sector - app development - as you learn the essentials of Microsoft Visual Basic.

Microeconomics 5th Edition by Paul Krugman English | 2018 | ISBN: 1319098789 | 1519 Pages | True EPUB 63 MB  Microcontroller Based GSM/GPRS Projects: Advanced Microcontroller Projects by Dogan Ibrahim, Ahmet Ibrahim English | 2010 | ISBN: 3639249100 | 204 Pages | PDF | 55.3 MB A microcontroller is a single-chip computer. Before the invention of the microcontrollers most intelligent systems were designed using microprocessors. A microprocessor is the processing element of a computer, consisting of an Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) and the Control Unit (CU). A microprocessor on its own is useless and it has to be supported by a large number of peripheral chips, such as memory, input-output, timer, interrupt logic and so on. Currently there are many microcontroller chips manufactured by various companies. This book is based on using the highly popular PIC16F887 type microcontroller. GSM/GPRS modems are used in all mobile phones. This book teaches the basic principles of microcontrollers and shows how they can be used in GSM/GPRS based communications projects. All of the examples and the projects in the book are based on the highly popular mikroC language, developed by mikroElektronika.  Michael Jackson and the Quandary of a Black Identity By Sherrow O Pinder 2021 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 1438484798 | PDF | 3 MB In Michael Jackson and the Quandary of a Black Identity, Sherrow O. Pinder explores the ways in which the late singer's racial identification process problematizes conceptualizations of race and the presentation of blackness that reduces blacks to a bodily mark. Pinder is particularly interested in how Michael Jackson simultaneously performs his racial identity and posits it against strict binary racial definitions, neither black nor white. While Jackson's self-fashioning deconstructs and challenges the corporeal notions of natural bodies and fixed identities, negative readings of the King of Pop fuel epithets such as weird or freak, subjecting him to a form of antagonism that denies the black body its self-determination. Thus, for Jackson, racial identification becomes a deeply ambivalent process, which leads to the fragmentation of his identity into plural identities. Pinder shows how Jackson as a racialized subject is discursively confined to a third space, a liminal space of ambivalence.  Billy F. Gibbons, "Michael Bloomfield: The Rise and Fall of an American Guitar Hero" English | 2018 | ISBN: 0912777788, 1613733283 | EPUB | pages: 296 | 5.9 mb This is the definitive biography of the legendary guitarist whom Muddy Waters and B. B. King held in high esteem and who created the prototype for Clapton, Hendrix, Page, and those who followed. Bloomfield was a member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, which inspired a generation of white blues players; he played with Bob Dylan in the mid-1960s, when his guitar was a central component of Dylan's new rock sound on "Like a Rolling Stone." He then founded the Electric Flag, recorded Super Session with Al Kooper, backed Janis Joplin, and released at least twenty other albums despite debilitating substance abuse. This book, based on extensive interviews with Bloomfield himself and with those who knew him best, and including an extensive discography and Bloomfield's memorable 1968 Rolling Stone interview, is an intimate portrait of one of the pioneers of rock guitar. |
