Book excerpt: After earning the loyalty of three companions—a forest dwarf named Teddy, a gnome named Kip, and a sea elf named Finn—and the dear friendship of a bearkin named Ashroot, young Mara believed her trials were over. Now with a real dragonwolf in tow, she must sail to the forbidden lands to face the harbingers of chaos and prevent their leader from spreading its poison through all Ambergrove. The forbidden lands were forbidden for a reason, and it will take all their strength to withstand the pull of chaos and the temptations of Earth’s conveniences. Darkness and doom hang over them as they trek through the forbidden lands, facing gunslinger goblins, the perils of doomed cities, and their deepest fears before ultimately confronting an evil that brings Mara to her knees. All too soon, she will have to face the loss of her uncle, a dear friend, or someone who could be more—all while fighting her past and working to save Ambergrove’s future. Within the realm of chaos, darkness has the advantage, and for the Dragonwolf of Aeunna, the losses may be more than she can bear.
Download or read book Qualitative Dynamics and Chaos written by Arnaldo Rodriguez-Gonzalez and published by Arnaldo Rodriguez-Gonzalez. This book was released on 2023-10-27 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This largely self-contained textbook on qualitative dynamics and chaos is intended for a broad audience of readers who are interested in describing systems that change over time using a mathematically simple, but conceptually rigorous, framework centered around descriptive sequences of symbols. This framework also allows readers who may not have a large amount of mathematical training to develop an unambiguous understanding of the notion of chaos and related aspects of dynamical systems theory. Concepts and techniques are introduced in the first parts of the book, which are later expanded to more mathematically abstract ideas in the latter parts of the book. For those who are already have some mathematical training, this text is intended to be an alternative to standard symbolic dynamics textbooks which both mildly generalizes their scope and specifically centers its discussion around dynamical systems theory aspects. It uses the notion of a "falsifiable system"—a type of set of infinite symbol sequences, which is an extension of both formal languages and symbolic dynamical systems—as a central conceptual link between the theory of formal languages and the study of chaos, and allows readers a method to identify chaos within such systems (and systems equivalent to them) by entirely graphical methods. The latter parts of the book then focus on how to apply these methods to understand the dynamics of more traditional, numerically-based systems.
Download or read book Counterfactuals written by Christopher Prendergast and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are counterfactuals and what is their point? In many cases, none at all. It may be true that if kangaroos didn't have tails, they would fall over, but they do have tails and if they didn't they wouldn't be kangaroos (or would they?). This is the sort of thing that can give counterfactuals a bad name, as inhabitants of a La La Land of the mind. On the other hand, counterfactuals do useful service across a broad range of disciplines in both the sciences and the humanities, including philosophy, history, cosmology, biology, cognitive psychology, jurisprudence, economics, art history, literary theory. They are also richly, albeit sometimes treacherously, present in the everyday human realm of how our lives are both imagined and lived: in the 'crossroads' scenario of decision-making, the place of regret in retrospective assessments of paths taken and not taken, and, at the outer limit, as the wish not to have been born. Christopher Prendergast take us on a dizzying exploratory journey through some of these intellectual and human landscapes, mobilizing a wide range of reference from antiquity to the present, and sustained by the belief that, whether as help or hindrance, and with many variations across cultures, counterfactual thinking and imagining are fundamental to what it is to be human.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ancient evil has already killed Scottie once, and is now stalking her along the Appalachian Trail, bent on destroying her soul for good. Scottie Walker’s fingertips burn when she gets upset, and when her stressful job and emotionally abusive boyfriend push her to the brink, her touch almost burns down her townhouse. So she starts over—and the first thing she’s doing is a six month thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail...one that will dredge up a dark past life far worse than the current one she’s running from. Something evil is stalking her...and the only person who can help save her is mysterious man on the trail who claims to know her from ‘before.’ The ‘before’ where they died together on this trail in 1959. And whatever this unknown, compelling force is, it’s not going to stop until it kills them again. If her fire-wielding powers aren’t enough to stop it, the only hope of survival is coming from beyond the grave. So, armed only with her burgeoning magical abilities and the help of a rag-tag group of hikers, Scottie tries to outrun the Vexing. But the closer she gets to the truth of what happened in 1959, the closer she gets to the dead. She knows them. She remembers them. And if she fails, she’ll become one of them. This time, for good.

Download or read book A Route to Chaos Using FPGAs written by Bharathwaj Muthuswamy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this introductory book is to couple the teaching of chaotic circuit and systems theory with the use of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). As such, it differs from other texts on chaos: first, it puts emphasis on combining theoretical methods, simulation tools and physical realization to help the reader gain an intuitive understanding of the properties of chaotic systems. Second, the "medium" used for physical realization is the FPGA. These devices are massively parallel architectures that can be configured to realize a variety of logic functions. Hence, FPGAs can be configured to emulate systems of differential equations. Nevertheless maximizing the capabilities of an FPGA requires the user to understand the underlying hardware and also FPGA design software. This is achieved by the third distinctive feature of this book: a lab component in each chapter. Here, readers are asked to experiment with computer simulations and FPGA designs, to further their understanding of concepts covered in the book. This text is intended for graduate students in science and engineering interested in exploring implementation of nonlinear dynamical (chaotic) systems on FPGAs.
Download or read book Quivering Families written by Emily Hunter McGowin and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American evangelicals are known for focusing on the family, but the Quiverfull movement intensifies that focus in a significant way. Often called "Quiverfull" due to an emphasis on filling their "quivers" with as many children as possible (Psalm 127:5), such families are distinguishable by their practices of male-only leadership, homeschooling, and prolific childbirth. Their primary aim is "multigenerational faithfulness" - ensuring their descendants maintain Christian faith for many generations. Many believe this focus will lead to the Christianization of America in the centuries to come. Quivering Families is a first of its kind project that employs history, ethnography, and theology to explore the Quiverfull movement in America. The book considers a study of the movement's origins, its major leaders and institutions, and the daily lives of its families. Quivering Families argues that despite the apparent strangeness of their practice, Quiverfull is a thoroughly evangelical and American phenomenon. Far from offering a countercultural vision of the family, Quiverfull represents an intensification of longstanding tendencies. The movement reveals the weakness of evangelical theology of the family and underlines the need for more critical and creative approaches.

Download or read book Chaotic Behavior in Quantum Systems written by Giulio Casati and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six years ago, in June 1977, the first international conference on chaos in classical dynamical systems took place here in Como. For the first time, physicists, mathematicians, biologists, chemists, economists, and others got together to discuss the relevance of the recent progress in nonlinear classical dynamics for their own research field. Immediately after, pUblication of "Nonlinear Science Abstracts" started, which, in turn, led to the Physica D Journal and to a rapid increase of the research activity in the whole area with the creation of numerous "Nonlinear Centers" around the world. During these years great progress has been made in understanding the qualitative behavior of classical dynamical systems and now we can appreciate the beautiful complexity and variety of their motion. Meanwhile, an increasing number of scientists began to wonder whether and how such beautiful structures would persist in quantum motion. Indeed, mainly integrable systems have been previously con sidered by Quantum Mechanics and therefore the problem is open how to describe the qualitative behavior of systems whose classical limit is non-integrable. The present meeting was organized in view of the fact that scientists working in different fields - mathematicians, theoretical physicists, solid state physicists, nuclear physicists, chemists and others - had common problems. Moreover, we felt that it was necessary to clarify some fundamental questions concerning the logical basis for the discussion including the very definition of chaos in Quantum Mechanics.
