Katherine Seligman, "At the Edge of the Haight"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1643750232, 1643752081 | 304 pages | EPUB | 1.8 MB
Maddy Donaldo, homeless at twenty, has made a family of sorts in the dangerous spaces of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. She knows whom to trust, where to eat, when to move locations, and how to take care of her dog. It's the only home she has. When she unwittingly witnesses the murder of a young homeless boy and is seen by the perpetrator, her relatively stable life is upended. Suddenly, everyone from the police to the dead boys' parents want to talk to Maddy about what she saw. As adults pressure her to give up her secrets and reunite with her own family before she meets a similar fate, Maddy must decide whether she wants to stay lost or be found. Against the backdrop of a radically changing San Francisco, a city which embraces a booming tech economy while struggling to maintain its culture of tolerance, At the Edge of the Haight follows the lives of those who depend on makeshift homes and communities.

Artificial Intelligence Methods And Tools For Systems Biology By Eva Armengol, Enric Plaza (auth.), Werner Dubitzky, Francisco Azuaje (eds.)
2004 | 221 Pages | ISBN: 1402029594 | PDF | 14 MB
This book provides simultaneously a design blueprint, user guide, research agenda, and communication platform for current and future developments in artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to systems biology. It places an emphasis on the molecular dimension of life phenomena and in one chapter on anatomical and functional modeling of the brain.As design blueprint, the book is intended for scientists and other professionals tasked with developing and using AI technologies in the context of life sciences research. As a user guide, this volume addresses the requirements of researchers to gain a basic understanding of key AI methodologies for life sciences research. Its emphasis is not on an intricate mathematical treatment of the presented AI methodologies. Instead, it aims at providing the users with a clear understanding and practical know-how of the methods. As a research agenda, the book is intended for computer and life science students, teachers, researchers, and managers who want to understand the state of the art of the presented methodologies and the areas in which gaps in our knowledge demand further research and development. Our aim was to maintain the readability and accessibility of a textbook throughout the chapters, rather than compiling a mere reference manual. The book is also intended as a communication platform seeking to bride the cultural and technological gap among key systems biology disciplines. To support this function, contributors have adopted a terminology and approach that appeal to audiences from different backgrounds.

Area Geometry Exercises: 2442 Worksheet Problems on the areas of squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, and quadrilaterals by Norman Sanko
English | December 15, 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08QS226H5 | 736 pages | Rar (PDF, AZW3) | 0.70 Mb
Closed shapes like triangles, circles, squares, rectangles, and other four sided polygons (quadrilaterals) fill the pages of elementary geometry and mensuration books, but we don't really encounter them too often after our primary and middle school days.Except when it comes to their areas.Real life is full of situations where knowing the areas of these geometric shapes comes in handy, and this is the case even if your day job has nothing at all to do with mathematics.This book is a primer - an introductory textbook that has all that you need about the area formulae and applications of these formulae for 8 basic closed shapes. Each section starts with the formula for one of these shapes, and goes through the application of these formulae for a sample test case - for some figures, circumference and perimeter formula applications are also given. After that, I have presented you with detailed worksheets with hundreds and thousands of practice problems that help you drill these area formulae again and again, till you're perfect. Remember, this will work best if you take it up as a time trial; measure the amount of time you take per problem, and keep challenging yourself to shave two seconds off that time with every subsequent problem. Using a calculator is definitely allowed; the aim is that you learn how to apply the formula to calculate the area of that tricky trapezium, or that rambunctious rhombus, every single time.After you're done with this book, Geometry will indeed be your Area of Expertise.

All Math leads to Rome: 3001 Simple Steps to Becoming an Expert on Roman Numerals by Norman Sanko
English | November 25, 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08P3PC5Y4 | 702 pages | Rar (PDF, AZW3) | 0.62 Mb
Roman Numerals were the standard way of writing numbers in much of the world for thousands of years! Even after the medieval period, when they fell out of common usage, they still retained their importance in many ways. Just look at a clock face today, or at a numbered event, or at people trying to recapture the vintage feel in whatever they're doing, and you will see Roman Numerals alive and well.The simplicity of the number system is staggering: 7 symbols are all you need to learn, and a few rules on how you can build large numbers from those 7 base ones. However, you need a lot of practice before you can master and recall the rules at will, which is exactly what this book is all about. I start by stating all the rules you will need, with exercises accompanying each major set of rules. The book ends with a mega-series of multiple choice problems that you can complete to become as good at Roman Numerals as Julius Caesar was, two millennia ago.Read on for lessons from the classic era from Mathematics. When in Rome, do as the Romans do!
