Download or read book Different Strokes written by Cecil Harris and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-02-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The days of tennis as a country club sport for the aristocracy have long passed, as have the pre–Open era days when black players faced long odds just to be invited to the four Grand Slam events. An entire generation of sports fans has grown up seeing Venus and Serena Williams as the gold standard in American professional tennis. Although the Williams sisters have done more than any other players to make tennis accessible to a diverse population, it’s not as if the tennis revolution is over. When you watch tennis next, take a close look at the umpire, the person sitting in the high chair of authority at courtside. Look at the tournament referee and the tournament director, the officials who run the tournament. In those seats of power and influence, blacks are still woefully underrepresented. Different Strokes chronicles the rise of the Williams sisters, as well as other champions of color, closely examining how African Americans are collectively faring in tennis, on the court and off. Despite the success of the Williams sisters and the election of former pro player Katrina Adams as the U.S. Tennis Association’s first black president, top black players still receive racist messages via social media and sometimes in public. The reality is that while significant progress has been made in the sport, much work remains before anything resembling equality is achieved. Watch a book trailer.

Download or read book Landscape Painting written by Mitchell Albala and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because nature is so expansive and complex, so varied in its range of light, landscape painters often have to look further and more deeply to find form and structure, value patterns, and an organized arrangement of shapes. In Landscape Painting, Mitchell Albala shares his concepts and practices for translating nature's grandeur, complexity, and color dynamics into convincing representations of space and light. Concise, practical, and inspirational, Landscape Painting focuses on the greatest challenges for the landscape artist, such as: • Simplification and Massing: Learn to reduce nature's complexity by looking beneath the surface of a subject to discover the form's basic masses and shapes.• Color and Light: Explore color theory as it specifically applies to the landscape, and learn the various strategies painters use to capture the illusion of natural light.• Selection and Composition: Learn to select wisely from nature's vast panorama. Albala shows you the essential cues to look for and how to find the most promising subject from a world of possibilities. The lessons in Landscape Painting—based on observation rather than imitation and applicable to both plein air and studio practice—are accompanied by painting examples, demonstrations, photographs, and diagrams. Illustrations draw from the work of more than 40 contemporary artists and such masters of landscape painting as John Constable, Sanford Gifford, and Claude Monet. Based on Albala's 25 years of experience and the proven methods taught at his successful plein air workshops, this in-depth guide to all aspects of landscape painting is a must-have for anyone getting started in the genre, as well as more experienced practitioners who want to hone their skills or learn new perspectives.
Download or read book STROKE Analysis and Prediction Using Scikit Learn Keras and TensorFlow with Python GUI written by Vivian Siahaan and published by BALIGE PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2023-07-15 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this project, we will perform an analysis and prediction task on stroke data using machine learning and deep learning techniques. The entire process will be implemented with Python GUI for a user-friendly experience. We start by exploring the stroke dataset, which contains information about various factors related to individuals and their likelihood of experiencing a stroke. We load the dataset and examine its structure, features, and statistical summary. Next, we preprocess the data to ensure its suitability for training machine learning models. This involves handling missing values, encoding categorical variables, and scaling numerical features. We utilize techniques such as data imputation and label encoding. To gain insights from the data, we visualize its distribution and relationships between variables. We create plots such as histograms, scatter plots, and correlation matrices to understand the patterns and correlations in the data. To improve model performance and reduce dimensionality, we select the most relevant features for prediction. We employ techniques such as correlation analysis, feature importance ranking, and domain knowledge to identify the key predictors of stroke. Before training our models, we split the dataset into training and testing subsets. The training set will be used to train the models, while the testing set will evaluate their performance on unseen data. We construct several machine learning models to predict stroke. These models include Support Vector, Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Decision Tree, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Light Gradient Boosting, Naive Bayes, Adaboost, and XGBoost. Each model is built and trained using the training dataset. We train each model on the training dataset and evaluate its performance using appropriate metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. This helps us assess how well the models can predict stroke based on the given features. To optimize the models' performance, we perform hyperparameter tuning using techniques like grid search or randomized search. This involves systematically exploring different combinations of hyperparameters to find the best configuration for each model. After training and tuning the models, we save them to disk using joblib. This allows us to reuse the trained models for future predictions without having to train them again. With the models trained and saved, we move on to implementing the Python GUI. We utilize PyQt libraries to create an interactive graphical user interface that provides a seamless user experience. The GUI consists of various components such as buttons, checkboxes, input fields, and plots. These components allow users to interact with the application, select prediction models, and visualize the results. In addition to the machine learning models, we also implement an ANN using TensorFlow. The ANN is trained on the preprocessed dataset, and its architecture consists of a dense layer with a sigmoid activation function. We train the ANN on the training dataset, monitoring its performance using metrics like loss and accuracy. We visualize the training progress by plotting the loss and accuracy curves over epochs. Once the ANN is trained, we save the model to disk using the h5 format. This allows us to load the trained ANN for future predictions. In the GUI, users have the option to choose the ANN as the prediction model. When selected, the ANN model is loaded from disk, and predictions are made on the testing dataset. The predicted labels are compared with the true labels for evaluation. To assess the accuracy of the ANN predictions, we calculate various evaluation metrics such as accuracy score, precision, recall, and classification report. These metrics provide insights into the ANN's performance in predicting stroke. We create plots to visualize the results of the ANN predictions. These plots include a comparison of the true values and predicted values, as well as a confusion matrix to analyze the classification accuracy. The training history of the ANN, including the loss and accuracy curves over epochs, is plotted and displayed in the GUI. This allows users to understand how the model's performance improved during training. In summary, this project covers the analysis and prediction of stroke using machine learning and deep learning models. It encompasses data exploration, preprocessing, model training, hyperparameter tuning, GUI implementation, ANN training, and prediction visualization. The Python GUI enhances the user experience by providing an interactive and intuitive platform for exploring and predicting stroke based on various features.
Download or read book Cerebrovascular Ultrasound in Stroke Prevention and Treatment written by Andrei V. Alexandrov and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultrasound enables us to monitor the cardiovascular system and brain responses to treatment in real time; a genuine blessing on the route to more effective stroke therapies, and an invaluable tool with which to tailor treatment when available evidence is meagre. Ultrasound is a vital observational tool, yet a probe needs a scientist to point it in the right direction and a skilled physician to synthesise scientific data with practical management strategies. This book, intended for clinicians who are eager to learn and prepared to observe, focusses on the examination of stroke patients, the interpretation of ultrasound studies, and the application of cerebrovascular ultrasound to management and treatment strategies. Produced by an international team of contributors and edited at the University of Texas, one of the major world centres in stroke research, it is a practical volume that can be used by beginners to learn the principles of ultrasound testing, by advanced users to learn differential diagnosis, and by clinicians (non-sonographers) who treat stroke patients. The latter will gain knowledge on how to apply ultrasound, and what to expect from it in terms of clinical decision making and treatment selection.

Download or read book Design Patterns for e Science written by Henry Gardner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-03 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about a code and about coding. The code is a case study which has been used to teachcourses in e-Science atthe Australian NationalUniv- sity since 2001. Students learn advanced programming skills and techniques TM in the Java language. Above all, they learn to apply useful object-oriented design patterns as they progressively refactor and enhance the software. We think our case study,EScope, is as close to real life as you can get! It is a smaller version of a networked, graphical, waveform browser which is used in the control rooms of fusion energy experiments around the world. It is quintessential “e-Science” in the sense of e-Science being “computer science and information technology in the service of science”. It is not, speci?cally, “Grid-enabled”, but we develop it in a way that will facilitate its deployment onto the Grid. The standard version ofEScope interfaces with a specialised database for waveforms, and related data, known asMDSplus. On the acc- panying CD, we have provided you with software which will enable you to installMDSplus,EScope and sample data ?les onto Windows or Linux c- puters. There is much additional software including many versions of the case study as it gets built up and progressively refactored using design patterns. There will be a home web-site for this book which will contain up-to-date information about the software and other aspects of the case study.
