Book excerpt: Welcome to the Azur Regent February brings calm and quiet to the Azur Regent. But for a sleep deprived Percy James, she could do with a little more excitement. Or a night’s sleep. A full night’s sleep would really help. With her baby niece sick and her sister losing her mind over the baby’s first cold, Percy starts to feel like a walking zombie. She even starts imagining things with one of the few guests staying at the hotel. Percy prides herself on her cheerful work ethic. Seeing suspicious things where none exist proves she needs more than makeup to cover the circles under her eyes. Fortunately, working at a hotel comes with perks. A night of uninterrupted, undisturbed sleep will put Percy back to rights. Except nothing at the Azur Regent is ever that simple. Even a night’s sleep. keywords: Amateur Sleuths, Mystery, Contemporary Mystery, Cozy Mystery, Soft-Boiled Mystery, Crime Fiction, Amateur Sleuths Mysteries, New York Hotel Mystery, Mystery Thriller and Suspense, female protagonist, Urban Mystery, mystery and suspense, crime and embezzlement fiction

Book excerpt: What does a wizard want from the dragon king… And what do they both want from Myra? Questions she asks herself, repeatedly, while trapped in a vault. A circumstance that leaves her questioning all her life choices. Unfortunately, curiosity bit her again. Because both the dragon king and the wizard lied to her about this job. A job to steal a relic with nefarious powers. A job that Christopher doesn’t know about. Myra trusts the wizard and the king about as far as she can throw them, but she also desperately wants to know what they’re up to. And why Christopher’s father cut him out of this scheme. She also needs to know what the dragon king really wants from her, once and for all. Because her feelings for Christopher grow with every passing moment. Only one thing keeps getting in the way of exploring those feelings. The king. But before she can get her answers, she has to survive her current job. And she has to escape the impenetrable vault before time, and her air, runs out. keywords: Romantasy, Paranormal Romance, Shapeshifter Romance, Shifter Romance, Dragon Shifter Romance, Urban fantasy, urban fantasy romance, heist fantasy, paranormal urban fantasy, contemporary fantasy, paranormal fantasy, dark fantasy, horror fantasy, mystery fantasy, paranormal mystery, crime fiction, magic fantasy, witches and wizards, urban fantasy magic, dragons and myths, alternate history romance

Book excerpt: No one saw her coming… After the last job for the dragon king, Myra vows never again. No more. But for Christopher, and for whatever these feelings developing between them might be… She can’t say no. Especially if the job involves a damsel in distress. Myra’s dragon shifter prince just can’t resist rescuing people in trouble. And when he needs a thief to do that, Myra happily jumps in. The job might be skirting the line between working for the dragon king and not working for the dragon king, but Myra willingly walks that line for Christopher. What starts out as a simple case of helping one woman rescue her career, though, quickly turns into something Myra never expected, something no one expected. A foe so deadly, so terrifying, that if they get this wrong, the entire island of Manhattan could burn.

Download or read book Introduction to Stochastic Level Crossing Techniques written by Percy H. Brill and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Stochastic Level Crossing Techniques describes stochastic models and their analysis using the System Point Level Crossing method (abbreviated SPLC or LC). This involves deriving probability density functions (pdfs) or cumulative probability distribution functions (cdfs) of key random variables, applying simple level-crossing limit theorems developed by the author. The pdfs and/or cdfs are used to specify operational characteristics about the stochastic model of interest. The chapters describe distinct stochastic models and associated key random variables in the models. For each model, a figure of a typical sample path (realization, i.e., tracing over time) of the key random variable is displayed. For each model, an analytic (Volterra) integral equation for the stationary pdf of the key random variable is created−by inspection of the sample path, using the simple LC limit theorems. This LC method bypasses a great deal of algebra, usually required by other methods of analysis. The integral equations will be solved directly, or computationally. This book is meant for students of mathematics, management science, engineering, natural sciences, and researchers who use applied probability. It will also be useful to technical workers in a range of professions. Key Features: A description of one representative stochastic model (e.g., a single-server M/G/1 queue; a multiple server M/M/c queue; an inventory system; etc.) Construction of a typical sample path of the key random variable of interest (e.g., the virtual waiting time or workload in queues; the net on-hand inventory in inventory systems; etc.) Statements of the simple LC theorems, which connect the sample-path upcrossing and downcrossing rates across state-space levels, to simple mathematical functions of the stationary pdf of the key random variable, at those state-space levels Creation of (usually Volterra) integral equations for the stationary pdf of the key random variable, by inspection of the sample path Direct analytic solution of the integral equations, where feasible; or, computational solutions of the integral equations Use of the derived stationary pdfs for obtaining operational characteristics of the model

Download or read book A Rhetoric of Ruins written by Andrew F. Wood and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Rhetoric of Ruins contributes to an interdisciplinary conversation about the role of wrecked and abandoned places in modern life. Topics in this book stretch from retro- and post-human futures to a Jeremiadic analysis of the role of ruins in American presidential discourse. From that foundation, A Rhetoric of Ruins employs hauntology to visit a California ghost-town, psychogeography to confront Detroit ruins, heterochrony to survey Pennsylvania’s once (and future) Graffiti Highway, an expanded articulation of heterotopia to explore the pleasurable contamination of Chernobyl, and an evening in Turkmenistan’s Doorway to Hell that stretches across time from Homer’s Iliad to Little Richard’s “Long Tall Sally.” Written to engage scholars and students of communication studies, cultural geography, anthropology, landscape studies, performance studies, public memory, urban studies, and tourism studies, A Rhetoric of Ruins is a conceptually rich and vividly written account of how broken and derelict places help us manage our fears in the modern era.

Choosing the path of art instead of settling down into the heteronormative life society, and their mother, bullied her siblings into pursuing, she became the black sheep of her family. And when they deny any value to the accomplishments and accolades she acquires through her successful career, she makes the choice to leave them for good. Running away from their clutches, she purchases her dream home in a small town far enough away from Portland that they can’t find her. In this town she figures out how to have the life she always wanted. One without the judgement from her family. One where she doesn’t have to run every decision by them to make sure it fits the standards of a Carmichael. She is her own person. She is capable. She can be happy. And she’ll do it all with her own eclectic flock.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition - completely up to date with new exercises - provides a comprehensive and self-contained treatment of the probabilistic theory behind the risk-neutral valuation principle and its application to the pricing and hedging of financial derivatives. On the probabilistic side, both discrete- and continuous-time stochastic processes are treated, with special emphasis on martingale theory, stochastic integration and change-of-measure techniques. Based on firm probabilistic foundations, general properties of discrete- and continuous-time financial market models are discussed.
