Book excerpt: The war against terror is raging on in the United States of America. An incredibly massive Russian terrorist organization named the Jervius has infiltrated the country, spreading horror and violence throughout the nation. The United States have been overpowered by the Jervius, and hopes are low for the American citizens and government. The US Military Engineering Department of the Pentagon is working hard to develop an efficient weapon that could overthrow the Jervius' colossal military arsenal and the masses of terrorists linked to this organization. After much desperation, a plan finally hits the director of the department, Will Mason. But can his idea of the supreme weapon be transferred from a sheer theory to the real world? And most importantly, could his theory actually be properly executed in the prolonging battle against the Jervius?

Download or read book Operation XX And Me written by Glyndwr Phillips and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approached by the Intelligence Force to help in the release of VIPs held by the Germans in is last year at school and the last year of World War II, Glyndwr afterwards returns to real life, looking for a job he likes and can do. Years later he is drawn back to help the Force and they offer an expected incentive. This becomes a pattern for his life. This story, written in the late 1970s, remained undiscovered until three years after the authors death in 2014. Much of it was familiar but the sections involving Operation XX were completely unknown. At first it was thought the title referred to the group of boys trained for the first operation but internet searches brought to light the double meaning of XX: 20 (in Roman numerals) and double-cross. Operation XX was set up in 1941 to use captured German spies to feed back misinformation to Germany. It eventually came under MI5. Glyndwr always questioned what choice, if any, he had in the events and the way life took him. For his family the discovery of the story raised many questions that may never be answered.

Download or read book Scripting with Objects written by Avinash C. Kak and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 1320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Object-Oriented scripting with Perl and Python Scripting languages are becoming increasingly important for software development. These higher-level languages, with their built-in easy-to-use data structures are convenient for programmers to use as "glue" languages for assembling multi-language applications and for quick prototyping of software architectures. Scripting languages are also used extensively in Web-based applications. Based on the same overall philosophy that made Programming with Objects such a wide success, Scripting with Objects takes a novel dual-language approach to learning advanced scripting with Perl and Python, the dominant languages of the genre. This method of comparing basic syntax and writing application-level scripts is designed to give readers a more comprehensive and expansive perspective on the subject. Beginning with an overview of the importance of scripting languages—and how they differ from mainstream systems programming languages—the book explores: Regular expressions for string processing The notion of a class in Perl and Python Inheritance and polymorphism in Perl and Python Handling exceptions Abstract classes and methods in Perl and Python Weak references for memory management Scripting for graphical user interfaces Multithreaded scripting Scripting for network programming Interacting with databases Processing XML with Perl and Python This book serves as an excellent textbook for a one-semester undergraduate course on advanced scripting in which the students have some prior experience using Perl and Python, or for a two-semester course for students who will be experiencing scripting for the first time. Scripting with Objects is also an ideal resource for industry professionals who are making the transition from Perl to Python, or vice versa.

Download or read book Algebra written by Saunders Mac Lane and published by American Mathematical Society. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents modern algebra from first principles and is accessible to undergraduates or graduates. It combines standard materials and necessary algebraic manipulations with general concepts that clarify meaning and importance. This conceptual approach to algebra starts with a description of algebraic structures by means of axioms chosen to suit the examples, for instance, axioms for groups, rings, fields, lattices, and vector spaces. This axiomatic approach—emphasized by Hilbert and developed in Germany by Noether, Artin, Van der Waerden, et al., in the 1920s—was popularized for the graduate level in the 1940s and 1950s to some degree by the authors' publication of A Survey of Modern Algebra. The present book presents the developments from that time to the first printing of this book. This third edition includes corrections made by the authors.

Download or read book NMR Basic Principles and Progress Grundlagen und Fortschritte written by P. Diehl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which has evolved only within the last 20 years, has become one of the very important tools in chemistry and physics. The literature on its theory and application has grown immensely and a comprehensive and adequate treatment of all branches by one author, or even by several, becomes increasingly difficult. This series is planned to present articles written by experts working in various fields of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and will contain review articles as well as progress reports and original work, its main aim, however, is to fill a gap, existing in literature, by publishing articles written by specialists, which take the reader from the introductory stage to the latest development in the field. The editors are grateful to the authors for the time and effort spent in writing the articles, and for their invaluable cooperation. The Editors Contents P. Diehl and C. L.

Download or read book Abstract Algebra written by Dan Saracino and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Edition of this classic text maintains the clear exposition, logical organization, and accessible breadth of coverage that have been its hallmarks. It plunges directly into algebraic structures and incorporates an unusually large number of examples to clarify abstract concepts as they arise. Proofs of theorems do more than just prove the stated results; Saracino examines them so readers gain a better impression of where the proofs come from and why they proceed as they do. Most of the exercises range from easy to moderately difficult and ask for understanding of ideas rather than flashes of insight. The new edition introduces five new sections on field extensions and Galois theory, increasing its versatility by making it appropriate for a two-semester as well as a one-semester course.

Download or read book An Introduction to Many Valued and Fuzzy Logic written by Merrie Bergmann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-14 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Merrie Bergmann presents an accessible introduction to the subject of many-valued and fuzzy logic designed for use on undergraduate and graduate courses in non-classical logic. Bergmann discusses the philosophical issues that give rise to fuzzy logic - problems arising from vague language - and returns to those issues as logical systems are presented. For historical and pedagogical reasons, three-valued logical systems are presented as useful intermediate systems for studying the principles and theory behind fuzzy logic. The major fuzzy logical systems - Lukasiewicz, Gödel, and product logics - are then presented as generalisations of three-valued systems that successfully address the problems of vagueness. A clear presentation of technical concepts, this book includes exercises throughout the text that pose straightforward problems, that ask students to continue proofs begun in the text, and that engage students in the comparison of logical systems.

Download or read book Continuity Theory written by Louis Nel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a detailed, self-contained theory of continuous mappings. It is mainly addressed to students who have already studied these mappings in the setting of metric spaces, as well as multidimensional differential calculus. The needed background facts about sets, metric spaces and linear algebra are developed in detail, so as to provide a seamless transition between students' previous studies and new material. In view of its many novel features, this book will be of interest also to mature readers who have studied continuous mappings from the subject's classical texts and wish to become acquainted with a new approach. The theory of continuous mappings serves as infrastructure for more specialized mathematical theories like differential equations, integral equations, operator theory, dynamical systems, global analysis, topological groups, topological rings and many more. In light of the centrality of the topic, a book of this kind fits a variety of applications, especially those that contribute to a better understanding of functional analysis, towards establishing an efficient setting for its pursuit.

Download or read book Handbook of Construction Management and Organization written by Joseph Frein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this handbook is to make available to general contractors, consulting engineers, construction managers, specialty contractors, and subcontractors, as well as to professors and students in Universities and technical institutes which offer courses on the subject, the fundamentals of construction management together with the most workable types of organization, and the necessary capabilities they must include to reasonably ensure success and minimize the possibility of failure in this most hazardous profession. The second and equally important purpose is to furnish equipment manufacturers, dealers, material suppliers, bankers, surety bondsmen, and others, who traditionally rely on financial statements and general reputation, something more concrete to look for-the type of management and organization, and its scope and capability-in deciding how far to go along with contractors with whom they deal or wish to deal. This, the second edition of the Handbook, is an updated version of the work published in 1973. The book covers very many subjects which are part of construction. The greatest care was exercised in consideration of their practical aspects based on the theory and practice of construction management and its structure, and the functions of the various departments, both in the field and central offices, that make up construction organization. Leading specialists in their particular fields were selected to write chapters on the vital segments making up the structure of construction management and organization. These fields include construction contracts and conditions, job organization by general types of projects, equipment maintenance and preventive maintenance and overhaul, engineering and estimating, scheduling and controls, data processing and the use of computer equipment in engineering and accounting techniques, office administration, corporate and cost accounting, payroll, employment and labor relations, safety, public relations, legal and contractural problems, banking and finance, taxes, surety bonding, insurance, pension and retirement problems and others.
