 Model Plants and Crop Improvement By Rajeev K. Varshney and Robert M.D. Koebner 2006 | 313 Pages | ISBN: 0849330637 | PDF | 4 MB Within the past decade, there has been an explosion of research in both the public and private sectors regarding the use of plant genetic models to improve crop yield. Bringing together experts from across the globe, Model Plants and Crop Improvement provides a critical assessment of the potential of model plant species for crop improvement. The first comprehensive summary of the use of model plant systems, the book delineates the model species' contribution to understanding the genomes of crop species. The book provides an in-depth examination of the achievements and limitations of the model paradigm. It explores how continued research in models can contribute to the goal of delivering the outputs of molecular biology to crops. Covering the major genetic models such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Lotus japonicus, and Medigago, the book goes on to discuss applications to food plants of global importance including rice, canola, and legumes. The book introduces the evolutionary, genetic, genomic, and morphological attributes of B. distachyon that make it such an attractive new model plant system.As the post-genomic era dawns, a key question to address is how this growing body of genetic and biological information can be extended beyond the model to the modeled species. This book takes you one step closer to applying modeling results to crops in the field.  Model Context Protocol by Ajit Singh English | August 24, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0FNNGDN8W | 230 pages | EPUB | 0.63 Mb "Model Context Protocol" is a definitive, hands-on guide for students, developers, and researchers looking to master the next evolution of Artificial Intelligence. In an era dominated by Large Language Models (LLMs), the true differentiator for creating powerful, reliable, and valuable AI applications lies in the ability to provide them with accurate, relevant, and timely context. This book systematically demystifies this process, introducing the "Model Context Protocol" (MCP)-a comprehensive framework for building context-aware AI systems.  Model Cards & Factsheets Handbook: AI Data, Privacy & Transparency Series, #4 English | Jan 8, 2026 | ISBN: 9798233039133 | 220 pages | EPUB (True) | 146.99 KB As artificial intelligence systems move into regulated, high-impact environments, documentation is no longer optional. Model Cards & Factsheets Handbook provides a practical, production-ready guide to documenting AI models in a way that supports governance, compliance, and operational transparency.  Mobilizing Communities: Asset Building as a Community Development Strategy By Gary Paul Green, Ann Goetting 2010 | 204 Pages | ISBN: 1439900868 | PDF | 1 MB As communities face new social and economic challenges as well as political changes, the responsibilities for social services, housing needs, and welfare programs are being placed at the local government level. But can community-based organizations address these concerns effectively? The editors and contributors to "Mobilizing Communities" explore how these organizations are responding to these challenges, and how asset-based development efforts can be successful. Asset-based development, rather than needs assessment, has become a new paradigm in the community development field over the last fifteen years. Although the approach is widely used by practitioners and promoted by foundations, asset-based development has not been examined critically by researchers until now. "Mobilizing Communities" provides a conceptual framework and practical guidance to community development practitioners. The editors solicited case studies from a variety of geographic settings, regions and racial/ethnic groups. The communities in the case studies mobilize residents around different forms of community capital (e.g., financial, cultural, and environmental capital). The contributors examine the role of public participation, the organizational and institutional structure, relationships with governmental officials, and the outcomes and impacts of the asset-based development projects. Contributors include: Lionel J. 'Bo' Beaulieu, Emily Blejwas, Sarah Dewees, Michael L. Dougherty, Mark H. Harvey, John (Jody) Kretzmann, Rocio Peralta, Rhonda Phillips, Deborah Puntenney, Stewart Sarkozy-Banoczy, Gordon E. Shockley, and the editors.  Mobile User Research: A Practical Guide (Synthesis Lectures on Mobile & Pervasive Computing) by Sunny Consolvo, Frank R. Bentley, Eric B. Hekler English | May 5, 2017 | ISBN: 3031013573 | 216 pages | PDF | 4.89 Mb This book will give you a practical overview of several methods and approaches for designing mobile technologies and conducting mobile user research, including how to understand behavior and evaluate how such technologies are being (or may be) used out in the world. Each chapter includes case studies from our own work and highlights advantages, limitations, and very practical steps that should be taken to increase the validity of the studies you conduct and the data you collect.  Mobile Technologies of the City By Mimi Sheller (ed.), John Urry (ed.) 2006 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 0415374340 | PDF | 2 MB Mobile communications technologies are taking off across the world, while urban transportation and surveillance systems are also being rebuilt and updated. Emergent practices of physical, informational and communicational mobility are reconfiguring patterns of movement, co-presence, social exclusion and security across many urban contexts. This book brings together a carefully selected group of innovative case studies of these mobile technologies of the city, tracing the emergence of both new socio-technical practices of the city and of a new theoretical paradigm for mobilities research.  Can Bilgin, "Mobile Development with .NET: Build cross-platform mobile applications with Xamarin.Forms 5 and ASP.NET Core 5, 2nd Edition" English | ISBN: 1800204698 | 2021 | 572 pages | AZW3 | 14 MB A .NET developer's guide to leveraging .NET and C# skills for mobile development using Xamarin, Visual Studio 2019, and Azure  Mixing It Up: Multiracial Subjects (Louann Atkins Temple Women & Culture Series) By SanSan Kwan, Kenneth Speirs, Naomi Zack 2004 | 225 Pages | ISBN: 0292705859 | PDF | 2 MB The United States Census 2000 presents a twenty-first century America in which mixed-race marriages, cross-race adoption, and multiracial families in general are challenging the ethnic definitions by which the nation has historically categorized its population. Addressing a wide spectrum of questions raised by this rich new cultural landscape, "Mixing It Up" brings together the observations of ten noted voices who have experienced multiracialism first-hand.From Naomi Zack's "American Mixed Race: The United States 2000 Census and Related Issues" to Cathy Irwin and Sean Metzger's "Keeping Up Appearances: Ethnic Alien-Nation in Female Solo Performance," this diverse collection spans the realities of multiculturalism in compelling new analysis. Arguing that society's discomfort with multiracialism has been institutionalized throughout history, whether through the 'one drop' rule or media depictions, SanSan Kwan and Kenneth Speirs reflect on the means by which the monoracial lens is slowly being replaced. Itself a hybrid of memoir, history, and sociological theory, "Mixing It Up" makes it clear why the identity politics of previous decades have little relevance to the fluid new face of contemporary humanity.  Mixed Blessing: The Impact of the American Colonial Experience on Politics and Society in the Philippines (Contributions in Comparative Colonial Studies) By Hazel M. McFerson 2001 | 312 Pages | ISBN: 0313307911 | PDF | 2 MB Invidious distinctions on the basis of race and overt racism were central features in American colonial policy in the Philippines from 1898 to 1947, as America transported its domestic racial policy to the island colony. This collection by young Filipino scholars analyzes American colonialism and its impact on administration and attitudes in the Philippines through the prism of American racial tradition, a structural concept which refers to beliefs, attitudes, images, classifications, laws, and social customs that shape race relations and racial formation in multiracial and colonial societies. The dominance of this tradition was manifested in the wanton prerogatives of the U.S. Congress and others who helped to carry out colonial policy in the region.The Spanish flexible racial tradition had resulted in a system based on ethnicity and class as determinants of social and economic structure, while the rigid U.S. racial tradition assigned race the more dominant role. The cultural affinity between the early individual American administrators and the Filipino elite, however, meant that class-based distinctions in the islands were not broken up. Thus, the extreme elitist character of the Philippines' economy and society persisted and became impervious to the influences which in other Asian countries led to a progressive weakening of elite structures as the 20th century advanced.
