Book excerpt: The greater challenge of this book has been sorting through a conspiracy of biased data interpretation more than verification of the actual data. It is as though the institutional foundation of academia has rigidly defined parameters of historically acceptable facts, ignoring any evidence that does not fit within the target of measured agreement. Not only are these several conclusions contrary to my personal experience, but they border on absurdity in the open arena of logical discourse. Therefore, at the risk of sounding foolish to the world of secular thinking and sounding on the fringe to the minds of those most religious, I have endeavored to remain true to my conscience through this intricate process of human analysis. Even though I have explored the reasonable expectations constrained through many subjects of intellectual controversy, I am kept in remembrance there is no greater meaning than love. For by love the worlds are framed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Best Book of 2021 by Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Time, and The Washington Post The bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs returns with a “compelling” (The Washington Post) account of how Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues launched a revolution that will allow us to cure diseases, fend off viruses, and have healthier babies. When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had left a paperback titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved. When she read it on a rainy Saturday, she discovered she was right, in a way. As she sped through the pages, she became enthralled by the intense drama behind the competition to discover the code of life. Even though her high school counselor told her girls didn’t become scientists, she decided she would. Driven by a passion to understand how nature works and to turn discoveries into inventions, she would help to make what the book’s author, James Watson, told her was the most important biological advance since his codiscovery of the structure of DNA. She and her collaborators turned a curiosity of nature into an invention that will transform the human race: an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as CRISPR, it opened a brave new world of medical miracles and moral questions. The development of CRISPR and the race to create vaccines for coronavirus will hasten our transition to the next great innovation revolution. The past half-century has been a digital age, based on the microchip, computer, and internet. Now we are entering a life-science revolution. Children who study digital coding will be joined by those who study genetic code. Should we use our new evolution-hacking powers to make us less susceptible to viruses? What a wonderful boon that would be! And what about preventing depression? Hmmm…Should we allow parents, if they can afford it, to enhance the height or muscles or IQ of their kids? After helping to discover CRISPR, Doudna became a leader in wrestling with these moral issues and, with her collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier, won the Nobel Prize in 2020. Her story is an “enthralling detective story” (Oprah Daily) that involves the most profound wonders of nature, from the origins of life to the future of our species.

Book excerpt: “One of our great visionaries.” —Dr. Wayne W. Dyer “A rare blend of scientist, visionary, and scholar.” —Deepak Chopra A scholar and New York Times–bestselling author shares his shocking theory of an ancient language—found in the decoded elements of our DNA—that shines new light on the mysteries of existence. What would it mean to discover an ancient language—a literal message—hidden within the DNA of life itself? What we once believed of our past is about to change. A coded message has been found within the molecules of life, deep within the DNA in each cell of our bodies. Through a remarkable discovery linking Biblical alphabets to our genetic code, the “language of life” may now be read as the ancient letters of a timeless message. Regardless of race, religion, heritage, or lifestyle, the message is the same in each cell of every woman, child, and man, past and present. Sharing all-new, fascinating research, Gregg Braden discusses the life-changing discovery that led him from a successful career in the aerospace and defense industries to an extensive 12-year study of the most sacred and honored traditions of humankind.

Download or read book Discovering Computer Science written by Jessen Havill and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-07-06 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discovering Computer Science: Interdisciplinary Problems, Principles, and Python Programming introduces computational problem solving as a vehicle of discovery in a wide variety of disciplines. With a principles-oriented introduction to computational thinking, the text provides a broader and deeper introduction to computer science than typical introductory programming books. Organized around interdisciplinary problem domains, rather than programming language features, each chapter guides students through increasingly sophisticated algorithmic and programming techniques. The author uses a spiral approach to introduce Python language features in increasingly complex contexts as the book progresses. The text places programming in the context of fundamental computer science principles, such as abstraction, efficiency, and algorithmic techniques, and offers overviews of fundamental topics that are traditionally put off until later courses. The book includes thirty well-developed independent projects that encourage students to explore questions across disciplinary boundaries. Each is motivated by a problem that students can investigate by developing algorithms and implementing them as Python programs. The book's accompanying website — http://discoverCS.denison.edu — includes sample code and data files, pointers for further exploration, errata, and links to Python language references. Containing over 600 homework exercises and over 300 integrated reflection questions, this textbook is appropriate for a first computer science course for computer science majors, an introductory scientific computing course or, at a slower pace, any introductory computer science course.

Download or read book Code written by Charles Petzold and published by Microsoft Press. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic guide to how computers work, updated with new chapters and interactive graphics "For me, Code was a revelation. It was the first book about programming that spoke to me. It started with a story, and it built up, layer by layer, analogy by analogy, until I understood not just the Code, but the System. Code is a book that is as much about Systems Thinking and abstractions as it is about code and programming. Code teaches us how many unseen layers there are between the computer systems that we as users look at every day and the magical silicon rocks that we infused with lightning and taught to think." - Scott Hanselman, Partner Program Director, Microsoft, and host of Hanselminutes Computers are everywhere, most obviously in our laptops and smartphones, but also our cars, televisions, microwave ovens, alarm clocks, robot vacuum cleaners, and other smart appliances. Have you ever wondered what goes on inside these devices to make our lives easier but occasionally more infuriating? For more than 20 years, readers have delighted in Charles Petzold's illuminating story of the secret inner life of computers, and now he has revised it for this new age of computing. Cleverly illustrated and easy to understand, this is the book that cracks the mystery. You'll discover what flashlights, black cats, seesaws, and the ride of Paul Revere can teach you about computing, and how human ingenuity and our compulsion to communicate have shaped every electronic device we use. This new expanded edition explores more deeply the bit-by-bit and gate-by-gate construction of the heart of every smart device, the central processing unit that combines the simplest of basic operations to perform the most complex of feats. Petzold's companion website, CodeHiddenLanguage.com, uses animated graphics of key circuits in the book to make computers even easier to comprehend. In addition to substantially revised and updated content, new chapters include: Chapter 18: Let's Build a Clock! Chapter 21: The Arithmetic Logic Unit Chapter 22: Registers and Busses Chapter 23: CPU Control Signals Chapter 24: Jumps, Loops, and Calls Chapter 28: The World Brain From the simple ticking of clocks to the worldwide hum of the internet, Code reveals the essence of the digital revolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most astronomers agree that the observable universe began with a Big Bang singularity, initiating the mechanical process described as entropy. Entropy is defined by the three laws of thermodynamic reaction: Loss of energy through consumption, Loss of energy through transference, and Loss of energy through depletion. In other words, the eventuality of the physical universe is absolute zero. Or, put another way, it is the death of everything. Of course, this will take somewhere between 20 to 30 billion years, relative to time constants. Which also raises another questionable dilemma: What is Time? Elaborate mathematical models designed to ascribe functional meaning to this grand engine of design. Theories of acceptance are laboriously tested and constantly revised, yet the more layers peeled away, the more profound the mystery of origin and meaning. Many corrective values are invented along the way to fill in the voids and to make the ledgers add up. Sometimes this is achieved through practical formulation, by model manipulation to make the theory fit the observation; sometimes by revising the theory, with the application of another set of theories, to make the conclusions fit the model. Through many lenses of molecular structural observation, matter and energy take on a different meaning thought not possible through traditional concepts of organization. As the science of humankind peers ever deeper into the fabric of perceived reality with the aid of improved optics, astounding possibilities emerge that defy logical understanding. Instead of a static cosmos of predictability, a digital micro-universe emerges with Quarks and Flavors emanating from another space through tentacles of string association that defy even modern conclusions of quantum mechanics. Always the elephant in the room remains; what is the source and nature of the First Cause? This book carefully references the existential components described through secular hypothesis, daring to make an intellectual argument of evaluation between these and the true spiritual meaning of a transcendent text known as the Holy Bible. It further examines the dimensional layers of a condition described as subspace, comparing it to non-quantum positions of angelic principalities. It intelligently demands answers to basic contradictions ignored through collective absurdity and sequestered by institutional acceptance. This book also attempts to analyze the foundation principles of every discipline by challenging the myopia of base assumptions. In light of infinite velocity, what is the true age of the universe, and why does it appear the same in every direction? Is old-world history, as explained by jigsaw pieces laid out on The Periodic Table, the only narrative possible? What does the term Trans-humanism mean? Is it a cure to mortality or a future taskmaster in the image of artificial intelligence? And are flying saucers real, and if so, from where do they originate? These interrogations are not meant to challenge intellectual positions but to challenge the deterministic conclusions of consensus. It is an open discussion to the open-minded: it is Search of the Perfect Code Discovered. Please visit the author's page at www.espriux.com.

Download or read book DATA SCIENCE WORKSHOP Chronic Kidney Disease Classification and Prediction Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning with Python GUI written by Vivian Siahaan and published by BALIGE PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the captivating journey of our data science workshop, we embarked on the exploration of Chronic Kidney Disease classification and prediction. Our quest began with a thorough dive into data exploration, where we meticulously delved into the dataset's intricacies to unearth hidden patterns and insights. We analyzed the distribution of categorized features, unraveling the nuances that underlie chronic kidney disease. Guided by the principles of machine learning, we embarked on the quest to build predictive models. With the aid of grid search, we fine-tuned our machine learning algorithms, optimizing their hyperparameters for peak performance. Each model, whether K-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Gradient Boosting, Naive Bayes, Extreme Gradient Boosting, Light Gradient Boosting, or Multi-Layer Perceptron, was meticulously trained and tested, paving the way for robust predictions. The voyage into the realm of deep learning took us further, as we harnessed the power of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). By constructing intricate architectures, we designed ANNs to discern intricate patterns from the data. Leveraging the prowess of TensorFlow, we artfully crafted layers, each contributing to the ANN's comprehension of the underlying dynamics. This marked our initial foray into the world of deep learning. Our expedition, however, did not conclude with ANNs. We ventured deeper into the abyss of deep learning, uncovering the potential of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. These networks, attuned to sequential data, unraveled temporal dependencies within the dataset, fortifying our predictive capabilities. Diving even further, we encountered Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) and Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs). These innovative models, rooted in unsupervised learning, unmasked underlying structures in the dataset. As our understanding of the data deepened, so did our repertoire of tools for prediction. Autoencoders, our final frontier in deep learning, emerged as our champions in dimensionality reduction and feature learning. These unsupervised neural networks transformed complex data into compact, meaningful representations, guiding our predictive models with newfound efficiency. To furnish a granular understanding of model behavior, we employed the classification report, which delineated precision, recall, and F1-Score for each class, providing a comprehensive snapshot of the model's predictive capacity across diverse categories. The confusion matrix emerged as a tangible visualization, detailing the interplay between true positives, true negatives, false positives, and false negatives. We also harnessed ROC and precision-recall curves to illuminate the dynamic interplay between true positive rate and false positive rate, vital when tackling imbalanced datasets. For regression tasks, MSE and its counterpart RMSE quantified the average squared differences between predictions and actual values, facilitating an insightful assessment of model fit. Further enhancing our toolkit, the R-squared (R2) score unveiled the extent to which the model explained variance in the dependent variable, offering a valuable gauge of overall performance. Collectively, this ensemble of metrics enabled us to make astute model decisions, optimize hyperparameters, and gauge the models' fitness for accurate disease prognosis in a clinical context. Amidst this whirlwind of data exploration and model construction, our GUI using PyQt emerged as a beacon of user-friendly interaction. Through its intuitive interface, users navigated seamlessly between model selection, training, and prediction. Our GUI encapsulated the intricacies of our journey, bridging the gap between data science and user experience. In the end, our odyssey illuminated the intricate landscape of Chronic Kidney Disease classification and prediction. We harnessed the power of both machine learning and deep learning, uncovering hidden insights and propelling our predictive capabilities to new heights. Our journey transcended the realms of data, algorithms, and interfaces, leaving an indelible mark on the crossroads of science and innovation.

Download or read book The Knowledge Machine How Irrationality Created Modern Science written by Michael Strevens and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Knowledge Machine is the most stunningly illuminating book of the last several decades regarding the all-important scientific enterprise.” —Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of Plato at the Googleplex A paradigm-shifting work, The Knowledge Machine revolutionizes our understanding of the origins and structure of science. • Why is science so powerful? • Why did it take so long—two thousand years after the invention of philosophy and mathematics—for the human race to start using science to learn the secrets of the universe? In a groundbreaking work that blends science, philosophy, and history, leading philosopher of science Michael Strevens answers these challenging questions, showing how science came about only once thinkers stumbled upon the astonishing idea that scientific breakthroughs could be accomplished by breaking the rules of logical argument. Like such classic works as Karl Popper’s The Logic of Scientific Discovery and Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, The Knowledge Machine grapples with the meaning and origins of science, using a plethora of vivid historical examples to demonstrate that scientists willfully ignore religion, theoretical beauty, and even philosophy to embrace a constricted code of argument whose very narrowness channels unprecedented energy into empirical observation and experimentation. Strevens calls this scientific code the iron rule of explanation, and reveals the way in which the rule, precisely because it is unreasonably close-minded, overcomes individual prejudices to lead humanity inexorably toward the secrets of nature. “With a mixture of philosophical and historical argument, and written in an engrossing style” (Alan Ryan), The Knowledge Machine provides captivating portraits of some of the greatest luminaries in science’s history, including Isaac Newton, the chief architect of modern science and its foundational theories of motion and gravitation; William Whewell, perhaps the greatest philosopher-scientist of the early nineteenth century; and Murray Gell-Mann, discoverer of the quark. Today, Strevens argues, in the face of threats from a changing climate and global pandemics, the idiosyncratic but highly effective scientific knowledge machine must be protected from politicians, commercial interests, and even scientists themselves who seek to open it up, to make it less narrow and more rational—and thus to undermine its devotedly empirical search for truth. Rich with illuminating and often delightfully quirky illustrations, The Knowledge Machine, written in a winningly accessible style that belies the import of its revisionist and groundbreaking concepts, radically reframes much of what we thought we knew about the origins of the modern world.
