Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of We Are the Ants comes “another winner” (Booklist, starred review) about a boy who believes the universe is slowly shrinking as the things he remembers are being erased from others’ memories. Tommy and Ozzie have been best friends since the second grade, and boyfriends since eighth. They spent countless days dreaming of escaping their small town—and then Tommy vanished. More accurately, he ceased to exist, erased from the minds and memories of everyone who knew him. Everyone except Ozzie. Ozzie doesn’t know how to navigate life without Tommy, and soon he suspects that something else is going on: that the universe is shrinking. When Ozzie is paired up with the reclusive and secretive Calvin for a physics project, it’s hard for him to deny the feelings developing between them, even if he still loves Tommy. But Ozzie knows there isn’t much time left to find Tommy—that once the door closes, it can’t be opened again. And he’s determined to keep it open as long as possible.

Download or read book The Universe in the Rearview Mirror written by Dave Goldberg and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A great read… Goldberg is an excellent guide.”—Mario Livio, bestselling author of The Golden Ratio Physicist Dave Goldberg speeds across space, time and everything in between showing that our elegant universe—from the Higgs boson to antimatter to the most massive group of galaxies—is shaped by hidden symmetries that have driven all our recent discoveries about the universe and all the ones to come. Why is the sky dark at night? If there is anti-matter, can there be anti-people? Why are past, present, and future our only options? Saluting the brilliant but unsung female mathematician Emmy Noether as well as other giants of physics, Goldberg answers these questions and more, exuberantly demonstrating that symmetry is the big idea—and the key to what lies ahead.

Download or read book Architecture Theory written by Andrew Ballantyne and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2005-03-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture Theory is a comprehensive and groundbreaking one volume overview of, and introduction to, contemporary critical discourse in architecture. In bringing critical theory and Continental philosophy to bear upon architecture, it provides a solid framework for a fully up-to-date theory of architecture, one that reflects the latest developments and concerns. The book is divided into four sections—groundwork; constructing the "individual"; pluralities; instrumentality—each covering a core theme in contemporary architecture theory. In each section an introductory essay by Andrew Ballantyne provides valuable context, exposition, and analysis. This is followed by a selection of writings on architecture and other related cultural concerns from major contemporary thinkers, including Zvizvek, Irigaray, Lefebvre, Lyotard, Kristeva, Nancy, Virilio, Deleuze, and Negri.

Download or read book Mock Trials written by Steven Lubet and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-26 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mock trial may officially begin with opening statements, but experienced competitors know that the dialogue between counsel and the court beforehand can make or break their chances of prevailing. In this new edition of Mock Trials the authors have added an entire new chapter (Pretrial Matters) to explain the questions students should ask before a mock trial begins and why the answers to those questions are important. Just as in an actual trial, pre-trial matters do matter in mock trials because they can affect nearly every aspect of case preparation and presentation. First published in 2000, Mock Trials has become the leading textbook used by students and coaches to prepare for mock trial competitions. The Second Edition improves upon the first by providing students and coaches at every level with a complete step-by-step guide to preparing, presenting, and winning a mock trial. Diagrams, charts and summaries, as well as sample fact scenarios, colloquies, and arguments, are used to explain complicated concepts simply in an easy-to-follow and interesting manner. This textbook is specifically designed for use by pre-law and law students, but the legal and stylistic techniques it teaches remain applicable throughout lawyers’ careers. For high school and undergraduate students competing in mock trials or considering a career in law, Mock Trials gives a solid overview of the conduct of a trial from start to finish. It’s also perfect for mock trial coaches to use as a how-to guide.

Book excerpt: Efficient generation of accurate mock observations of the sky, tailored specifically to near-future large-scale structure and cosmic microwave background surveys, is a key technical challenge in cosmology. The increasing sensitivity and sky coverage of modern surveys probe unprecedentedly-large cosmological volumes, and when coupled with increases to angular resolution, demand simulations that are accurate to smaller scales, yet cover larger volumes, than ever before. The applications of such simulations are numerous, from performing cosmological parameter analysis, to optimizing survey designs and testing analysis pipelines, to making theoretical predictions, but to adequately perform these tasks requires state-of-the-art accuracy and computational efficiency. In this thesis we develop numerical simulations of cosmological structure formation to create synthetic observations, or mocks, of current and near-future cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure surveys. We first present our development and rigorous validation of the mass-Peak Patch method, a simulation technique to rapidly generate the large-scale structure of cosmological volumes for a fraction of the computational cost of alternative methods. Mass-Peak Patch is then used in union with a number of astrophysical sky models to produce the Websky extragalactic CMB simulations, a publicly released set of synthetic mocks of the extragalactic microwave to infrared sky. Next, we focus on the up-and-coming field of intensity mapping. We construct a suite of carbon monoxide line intensity maps, and use these to forecast the constraints on the CO luminosity function with near-future observations. Both the large data volumes and complicated statistical evaluations involved in standard cosmological analyses of survey data has recently led to the adoption of many machine learning methods throughout the field, and we finish this thesis with an investigation of machine learning methods in cosmology. We first overview machine learning in cosmology and discuss the viability and attractiveness of recently-popularized deep learning techniques, and then construct, train, and validate a convolutional neural network for the purpose of aiding cosmological simulations. Efficient simulation tools such as mass-Peak Patch, accurate mocks such as the Websky extragalactic maps, and machine learning techniques (when applied correctly), will enable precision analysis of the next generation of cosmological data sets.
