 Constructed Truths: Truth and Knowledge in a Post-truth World English | 2023 | ISBN: 3658399414 | 323 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 1.2 MB In a world in which more and more fake news is being spread, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish truth from lies, knowledge from opinion. Disinformation campaigns are not only perceived as a political problem, but the fake news debate is also about fundamental philosophical questions: What is truth? How can we recognize it? Is there such a thing as objective facts or  Connections by Beth Urich Kate Starling Mysteries, Book 2 2021 | English | EPUB | ISBN: 9781643902142 | 404 pages | 533 KB | Retail  Computer Vision and Graphics English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031220242 | 422 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 93 MB This book contains 17 papers presented at the conference devoted to cutting-edge technologies and concepts related to image processing. A broad collection of problems including man-machine interfaces, comparison of quantum and conventional computing in deep learning, medical image processing, image segmentation, face recognition, outdoor scene analysis, image rendering and colorization, map generation, traffic analysis, hardware acceleration, data association, and visual cryptography is investigated.  Computer Methods in Chemical Engineering By Nayef Ghasem 2021 | 494 Pages | ISBN: 036776525X | PDF | 116 MB While various software packages have become essential for performing unit operations and other kinds of processes in chemical engineering, the fundamental theory and methods of calculation must also be understood to effectively test the validity of these packages and verify the results. Computer Methods in Chemical Engineering, Second Edition presents the most used simulation software along with the theory involved. It covers chemical engineering thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, material and energy balances, mass transfer operations, reactor design, and computer applications in chemical engineering. The highly anticipated Second Edition is thoroughly updated to reflect the latest updates in the featured software and has added a focus on real reactors, introduces AVEVA Process Simulation software, and includes new and updated appendixes. Through this book, students will learn the following: What chemical engineers do The functions and theoretical background of basic chemical engineering unit operations How to simulate chemical processes using software packages How to size chemical process units manually and with software How to fit experimental data How to solve linear and nonlinear algebraic equations as well as ordinary differential equations Along with exercises and references, each chapter contains a theoretical description of process units followed by numerous examples that are solved step by step via hand calculation and computer simulation using Hysys/UniSim, PRO/II, Aspen Plus, and SuperPro Designer. Adhering to the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria, the book gives chemical engineering students and professionals the tools to solve real problems involving thermodynamics and fluid-phase equilibria, fluid flow, material and energy balances, heat exchangers, reactor design, distillation, absorption, and liquid extraction. This new edition includes many examples simulated by recent software packages. In addition, fluid package information is introduced in correlation to the numerical problems in book. An updated solutions manual and PowerPoint slides are also provided in addition to new video guides and UniSim program files.  Computational Statics and Dynamics: An Introduction Based on the Finite Element Method English | 2023 | ISBN: 303109672X | 723 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 87 MB This book is the 3rd edition of an introduction to modern computational mechanics based on the finite element method. This third edition is largely extended, adding many new examples to let the reader understand the principles better by performing calculations by hand, as well as numerical example to practice the finite element approach to engineering problems. The new edition comes together with a set of digital flash cards with questions and answers that improve learning success. Featuring over 100 more pages, the new edition will help students succeed in mechanics courses by showing them how to apply the fundamental knowledge they gained in the first years of their engineering education to more advanced topics.  Alan Ellman, "Complete Encyclopedia for Covered Call Writing" English | 2011 | ISBN: 1937183068 | EPUB | pages: 522 | 5.3 mb Alan Ellman's Encyclopedia for Covered Call Writing* covers option trading basics, stock fundamental and technical analysis, exit strategies, investment basics, option calculations and much more. It took me four years to complete but here is the book you've been asking for. My goal was to create the most comprehensive book ever written on the topic of covered call writing geared to the average retail investor, The Blue Collar Investor. This book completely updates the information in my previous two books, adds a wide range of new data that better fits today's investing environment. In addition to what we believe to be the most complete coverage of covered call investing available anywhere. This new edition provides coverage of a wide range of related subjects that have been taken from my popular Journal Articles that I have published over the last few years and will give you the background that will make you a better investor. It includes the "how to" of stock and option selection, calculating option returns and management of positions via exit strategies. We are particularly proud of the fact we have provided full color graphics - something not available in other investing books - which will dramatically improve your understanding of the material. In order to realize my objectives stated above my third book contains: - Over 500 pages packed with solid information, no useless filler material - 151 charts and graphs most of which are in color for better visualization - Chapter outlines to summarize the material located in each chapter - Questions and answers at the conclusion of each chapter to highlight the key points - 14 appendixes to supplement the information found in the 20 chapters - 4 flow charts that summarizes the stock selection and exit strategy processes My aspiration is that this book assists you in our mission statement of becoming CEO of your own money and ultimately financially independent. (*2nd edition | pub 2019)  Pepita Hesselberth, "Compact Cinematics: The Moving Image in the Age of Bit-Sized Media" English | ISBN: 1501343939 | 2018 | 256 pages | PDF | 2 MB Compact Cinematics challenges the dominant understanding of cinema to focus on the various compact, short, miniature, pocket-sized forms of cinematics that have existed from even before its standardization in theatrical form, and in recent years have multiplied and proliferated, taking up an increasingly important part of our everyday multimedia environment.
 Commercialization of Hinterland and Dynamics of Class, Caste and Gender in Rural India By Supriya Singh 2017 | 165 Pages | ISBN: 1443886475 | PDF | 2 MB There is a great deal of controversy and debate on land acquisition and transactions concerning the economic development of India, particularly the rural parts of the country. This book explicates, from a sociological perspective, the effect of increasing land transactions on social mobility, based on a detailed study of selected villages in Lucknow, India. It argues that villages in modern India, particularly those close to cities, are no longer simple and integrated communities, but are, rather, more heterogeneous, complex and mobile, as a result of urban expansion and globalization. It contextualises land transactions in a political economic model, describing in detail the differential relationship between land and the state from ancient times to the present day, noting the different laws relating to land and their implications for rural life.
