 Andrews Samraj, "Skin-Close Computing and Wearable Technology" English | ISBN: 0367512165 | 2021 | 190 pages | MOBI | 9 MB This book explains the concept of wearable computing, need for wearable technology, its advantages, application areas, state of art developments in this area, required material and technology, possible future applications including cyborg developments and the need for this sphere of influence in the future. The scope encompasses three major components, wearable computing (next generation of conventional computing, ergonomics), wearable technology (medical support, rehabilitation engineering, assistive technology support devices, army/combat usage) and allied technologies (miniature components, reliability, high performance integration, cyber physical systems, robotics).  Skateboard Culture: Skateboarding from the 1970s to Today by Morgan Bouvant, Sébastien Carayol English | November 11, 2025 | ISBN: 0593839498, 9780593839607 | True EPUB | 512 pages | 390 MB A celebration of skateboard culture from the 1970s to today, featuring interviews with legendary skaters including Tony Hawk and Mark Gonzales, a foreword by director Spike Jonze, and over 400 rare photographs and images  Sizzling Summer Reading Programs for Young Adults By Katharine L. Kan 2006 | 112 Pages | ISBN: 083893563X | PDF | 4 MB Summer reading programs are a staple in libraries nationwide and provide a valuable service: keeping teens productive and occupied when they are no longer busy in school. Producing creative programs at the library can be challenging when faced with this easily distracted teen demographic; that s where Sizzling Summer Reading Programs steps in.Katharine Kan, editor of the celebrated first edition of Sizzling Summer Programs, provides the creative spark for libraries committed to working with teens and preteens through summer programs. Enthusiastic colleagues nationwide share more than 50 successful programs, including nitty gritty details like handling registration, getting donations, creating partnerships, tracking reading, and promoting programs. Reading incentives, community service and volunteering, as well as programs for special teen populations (the homeless, incarcerated, or parents) make this a comprehensive and inspiring reference.Attract local teens by re-energizing summer reading with creative program ideas like: * Basic CSI Crime Scene Investigation class with the local police department * Henna tattooing and cultural education * Cinema Summer reading programs, including character make-up workshops, stop-motion animation workshops, and video production workshop * Art and poetry workshops * Reading incentives and reading logsDrawing on the many proven options, youth librarians in any size or type of library can select appropriate programs and policies that meet the needs of their local young adult populations. This time-saving hands-on guide, brimming with winning programs, is a must-have for every library that serves young people.  2008 | 259 Pages | ISBN: 1934110396 | PDF | 4 MB  Site Reliability Engineering: The Generative AI Era English | 26 Dec. 2025 | ASIN: B0GCV33LKB | 284 pages | Epub | 2.77 MB This book provides a comprehensive, practical, and principles-driven guide to implementing Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) for applications powered by Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). It is designed to serve as a core textbook for university courses and a vital handbook for industry professionals. Philosophy: The core philosophy of this book is "Reliability by Design for the AI Era." We posit that the non-deterministic, complex, and often opaque nature of GenAI systems demands a new, integrated approach to reliability. It is not enough to simply "bolt on" monitoring to a prototype. Instead, reliability must be a foundational concern woven into every stage of the lifecycle, from architectural design and data ingestion to model evaluation, deployment, and ongoing operations. We treat emergent challenges like hallucinations, prompt injection, and unpredictable costs as first-class reliability problems that require systematic, engineering-driven solutions. Key Features: 1. Comprehensive Coverage: This book offers a single, coherent resource covering the entire lifecycle of a production-grade GenAI application, from architecture to security. 2. Production-Ready Architectures: A deep dive into the practical trade-offs between patterns like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), fine-tuning, and hybrid models. 3. Focus on LLM Observability (LLM-O11y): Dedicated coverage of the new art of monitoring, including tracking token cost, latency, hallucination rates, and user feedback loops. 4. Evaluation-Driven Development: Practical guidance on building robust evaluation suites and integrating them into a CI/CD pipeline to ensure quality and prevent regressions. 5. Actionable Optimization Techniques: Concrete strategies for caching, batching, and model selection to reduce costs and improve performance. 6. Full Capstone Project: A complete, step-by-step guide to building and deploying an observable, secure, and reliable GenAI application from scratch, including all working code. To Whom This Book Is For: 1. B.Tech/M.Tech Computer Science Students: Serves as a primary textbook for courses on Cloud Computing, DevOps, MLOps, or specialized AI Engineering electives. It provides the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed for a career in modern software and AI. 2. Software Engineers & Developers: A practical guide for those tasked with integrating LLM features into new or existing applications and ensuring they are production-ready. 3. DevOps, SRE, and MLOps Engineers: A crucial resource for adapting existing reliability practices to the unique challenges of the GenAI stack, from vector databases to inference endpoints. 4. Technical Leads and Architects: Provides the strategic framework and architectural patterns needed to make informed decisions about building, deploying, and operating reliable and cost-effective GenAI services.
