Free Download Anorexia and Mimetic Desire By René Girard 2013 | 113 Pages | ISBN: 1609173767 | PDF | 1 MB René Girard shows that all desires are contagious--and the desire to be thin is no exception. In this compelling new book, Girard ties the anorexia epidemic to what he calls mimetic desire: a desire imitated from a model. Girard has long argued that, far from being spontaneous, our most intimate desires are copied from what we see around us. In a culture obsessed with thinness, the rise of eating disorders should be no surprise. When everyone is trying to slim down, Girard asks, how can we convince anorexic patients to have a healthy outlook on eating? Mixing theoretical sophistication with irreverent common sense, Girard denounces a "culture of anorexia" and takes apart the competitive impulse that fuels the game of conspicuous non-consumption. He shows that showing off a slim physique is not enough--the real aim is to be skinnier than one's rivals. In the race to lose the most weight, the winners are bound to be thinner and thinner. Taken to extremes, this tendency to escalation can only lead to tragic results. Featuring a foreword by neuropsychiatrist Jean-Michel Oughourlian and an introductory essay by anthropologist Mark R. Anspach, the volume concludes with an illuminating conversation between René Girard, Mark R. Anspach, and Laurence Tacou.  Free Download Steven Delay, "Anomie: Everything, Volume One" English | ISBN: 1666798843 | 2022 | 136 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Sartre and Camus held that existence is absurd, that consequently meaning is forged through the individual who must create it, a Promethean doctrine of reality which today has come to exercise a grip on us so firmly that we barely notice it, much less ever think to seriously question it. To be sure, the world is absurd. But existence as such? In this debut novel, Christian existentialist Steven DeLay tells the story of a knight of faith's quest for meaning. In his resulting voyage from the suburbs of Texas to the secret societies of Oxford, he encounters the ineluctable claim of eternity on the everyday. Part fairy tale, noir mystery, psychological thriller, and essay in existential philosophy, Everything's first volume, Anomie, explores the condition of nihilism in modern culture.  Free Download Animation Behind the Iron Curtain by Eleanor Cowen English | 2020 | ISBN: 0861967453 | 212 Pages | True ePUB | 52 MB  Free Download Animal Health at the Crossroads : Preventing, Detecting, and Diagnosing Animal Diseases By National Research Council; Division on Earth and Life Studies; Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources; Committee on Assessing the Nation's Framework for Addressing Animal Diseases 2005 | 286 Pages | ISBN: 0309092590 | PDF | 1 MB The confirmed case of "mad cow" disease (BSE) in June 2005 illustrates the economic impact of disease outbreaks, as additional countries closed their markets to U.S. beef and beef products. Emerging diseases also threaten public health-11 out of 12 of the major global disease outbreaks over the last decade were from zoonotic agents (that spread from animals to humans). Animal Health at the Crossroads: Preventing, Detecting, and Diagnosing Animal Diseases finds that, in general, the U.S. animal health framework has been slow to take advantage of state-of-the-art technologies being used now to protect public health; better diagnostic tests for identifying all animal diseases should be made a priority. The report also recommends that the nation establish a high-level, authoritative, and accountable coordinating mechanism to engage and enhance partnerships among local, state, and federal agencies, and the private sector.

Free Download Analyzing Information on Women-Owned Small Businesses in Federal Contracting By National Research Council; Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education; Committee on National Statistics; Steering Committee for the Workshop on Women-Owned Small Businesses in Federal Contracting 2005 | 110 Pages | ISBN: 0309096111 | EPUB | 1 MB It has been clear for at least 50 years the disadvantages that small businesses face in competing for U.S. government contracts. The Small Business Act of 1953 created the Small Business Administration (SBA), an independent agency in the executive branch that counsels and assists specific types of small businesses including firms owned by minorities and other socially and economically disadvantaged individuals and firms owned by women. Women-owned small businesses, however, are underrepresented or substantially underrepresented in some industries. In 2002, the SBA Office of Federal Contract Assistance for Women Business Owners (CAWBO) organized a draft study containing a preliminary set of approximations of the representation of women-owned small businesses in federal prime contracts over $25,000 by industry. Because of the past legal challenges to race- and gender-conscious contracting programs at the federal and local levels, the SBA asked the Committee on National Statistics of the National Academies to conduct an independent review of relevant data and estimation methods prior to finalizing the CAWBO study. The Steering Committee on Women-Owned Small Businesses in Federal Contracting was created and charged with holding a workshop to discuss topics including the accuracy of data and methods to estimate the use of women-owned small businesses in federal contracting and the definition of "underrepresentation" and "substantial underrepresentation" in designating industries for which preferential contracting programs might be warranted. Analyzing Information on Women-Owned Small Businesses in Federal Contracting presents the committee's report as well as the recommendations that committees have made.

The covered learning methods include classical and advanced solutions to problems of regression, minimum classification error, maximum receiver operating characteristics, bridge regression, ensemble learning and network learning. Both the primal and dual solution forms are discussed for over-and under-determined systems. Such coverage provides an important perspective for handling systems with overwhelming samples or systems with overwhelming parameters. For goal driven classification, the solutions to minimum classification-error, maximum receiver operating characteristics, bridge regression, and ensemble learning represent recent advancements in the literature. In this book, the exercises offer instructors and students practical experience with real-world applications. |
