Book excerpt: Roger Keough is a retired engineer suffering from a deadly aortic aneurism and caring for his wheelchair-bound best friend, Lionel Perkins, who is dying of multiple sclerosis. Roger's lifetime hobby has been to discover anti-gravity, hoping to explain how the ancients moved large blocks of stone. He inadvertently finds a substance capable of lifting any weight, and in so doing, is amazed to discover that it has unlimited healing properties which he applies to himself, his friend and his doctor's family. Realizing the utter impossibility of revealing their find, they team together to prevent the world from finding out what they call Panacea and at the same time, help those in dire need. But to preserve themselves and their incredible device, they must fight a never-ending battle against American interests and foreign spy networks. "You'll be compelled to keep reading… a riveting page turner. This would make an excellent movie."—Carol Kluz, Author

Book excerpt: The Find is the first novel in The Chronicles of Zusalem. Harry Klein is hired by an eccentric millionaire to investigate a mysterious chamber recently located under the ancient palace ruins at Tiahuanaco, Bolivia. Standing above the site is the elaborate Gate of the Sun, where Viracocha rides above a secreted sanctuary. Nearby, in the Cradle of the Jaguar, an evil force takes an interest in the affair, opposing a matching force inside the chamber. Klein and his crew are swept into a powerful drama as beings, previously thought mythological, vie for supremacy and possession of the chamber's vast secrets. With the timely assistance of a mild, innocuous looking Hindu mystic, the explorers are forced to fight an impossible enemy that plays by esoteric rules. The mayhem is non-stop and carries them into a stunning, vivid reality where they are transformed by the chamber into becoming its protectors.

Book excerpt: Furnace is a fantasy/horror adventure in which a wealthy man tries to find out the truth about his daughter's death, an investigation considered hopeless by the authorities who consider it a case of human spontaneous combustion or HSC. When a real psychic is included in the Probe team, they uncover an insidious plot by a group of malicious adversaries, people who have been perpetrating the fraud in a never-ending, deadly war against mankind for thousands of years. The horrors uncovered and the lengths to which these fiends will go to preserve themselves and their murderous mission carry those who would end the travesty into realms of pure terror. When the truth is finally revealed, Probe is compelled to face an erroneously documented myth, a powerful demon who will stop at nothing to get revenge for a trauma inflicted against him in ages past.

Download or read book Reasoning about Rational Agents written by Michael Wooldridge and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the belief-desire-intention (BDI) model of rational agents, which recognizes the primacy of beliefs, desires, and intentions in rational action. One goal of modern computer science is to engineer computer programs that can act as autonomous, rational agents; software that can independently make good decisions about what actions to perform on our behalf and execute those actions. Applications range from small programs that intelligently search the Web buying and selling goods via electronic commerce, to autonomous space probes. This book focuses on the belief-desire-intention (BDI) model of rational agents, which recognizes the primacy of beliefs, desires, and intentions in rational action. The BDI model has three distinct strengths: an underlying philosophy based on practical reasoning in humans, a software architecture that is implementable in real systems, and a family of logics that support a formal theory of rational agency.The book introduces a BDI logic called LORA (Logic of Rational Agents). In addition to the BDI component, LORA contains a temporal component, which allows one to represent the dynamics of how agents and their environments change over time, and an action component, which allows one to represent the actions that agents perform and the effects of the actions. The book shows how LORA can be used to capture many components of a theory of rational agency, including such notions as communication and cooperation.

Download or read book Planning Algorithms written by Steven M. LaValle and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-29 with total page 1029 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning algorithms are impacting technical disciplines and industries around the world, including robotics, computer-aided design, manufacturing, computer graphics, aerospace applications, drug design, and protein folding. This coherent and comprehensive book unifies material from several sources, including robotics, control theory, artificial intelligence, and algorithms. The treatment is centered on robot motion planning, but integrates material on planning in discrete spaces. A major part of the book is devoted to planning under uncertainty, including decision theory, Markov decision processes, and information spaces, which are the 'configuration spaces' of all sensor-based planning problems. The last part of the book delves into planning under differential constraints that arise when automating the motions of virtually any mechanical system. This text and reference is intended for students, engineers, and researchers in robotics, artificial intelligence, and control theory as well as computer graphics, algorithms, and computational biology.
