Download or read book Renaissance 2 0 written by Dean C. Moore and published by Dean C. Moore. This book was released on 2016-03-12 with total page 1364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of five books, an ordinary detective gets swept up in a new renaissance age originating in Berkeley, Ca, finding himself no less transformed than the colorful characters he was meant to police. The five book series is collected here under one cover for the first time. The story, set in a parallel timeline, is for lovers of genre-busting mysteries and for readers who can embrace a mix of science-based thriller, sci-fi, urban and paranormal fantasy, mixed in with the sleuthing. Robin, the story's hero, undergoes a sex change early in the series, classifying this also as LGBTQ+ fiction. Fans of Richard Bard’s Brainrush series should also enjoy the contest going on between the “naturals” who wish to become meta-human with ancient practices and the ones all too willing to embrace new technologies to the same ends. Because the story arc is continuous from book 1, readers will want to read the books in order. It is only when Robin starts coming into all her powers, in the second half of the series' story arc, that supernatural powers begin to emerge.

Download or read book Aerial Robotics in Agriculture written by K. R. Krishna and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important volume provides a plethora of information on aerial vehicles and their possible roles in revolutionizing agricultural procedures through spectral analysis of terrains, soils, crops, water resources, diseases, floods, drought, and farm activities. There are several semi-autonomous and autonomous (robotic) aerial vehicles that are examined for their efficiency in offering detailed spectral data about agrarian regions and individual farms. Among them, small drone aircrafts such as fixed-winged and copter models have already caught the imagination of farmers. They are spreading fast in every nook and corner of the farm world. However, there are many more aerial robots that are utilized in greater detail during farming. In this volume, the focus is on aerial vehicles such as parafoils, blimps, aerostats, and kites, and how they are being evaluated for use in experimental farms and fields. A few aerial vehicles, such as robotic parafoils, have been adopted to procure aerial spectral data and visual imagery to aid agronomic procedures. These and other aerial robots are expected to change and improve the use of the sky in agricultural endeavors and the way we conduct agronomic procedures in the very near future. This volume is a timely resource for agricultural researchers, professors and students, and the general public who are interested in aerial vehicles.
