Attractors of Hamiltonian Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations by Alexander Komech, ISBN-13: 978-1316516911 [PDF eBook eTextbook] Publisher: ‎ Cambridge University Press; 1st edition (September 30, 2021) Language: ‎ English 212 pages ISBN-10: ‎ 1316516911 ISBN-13: ‎ 978-1316516911 The first monograph on the theory of global attractors of Hamiltonian partial differential equations. This monograph is the first to present the theory of global attractors of Hamiltonian partial differential equations. A particular focus is placed on the results obtained in the last three decades, with chapters on the global attraction to stationary states, to solitons, and to stationary orbits. The text includes many physically relevant examples and will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in both mathematics and physics. The proofs involve novel applications of methods of harmonic analysis, including Tauberian theorems, Titchmarsh’s convolution theorem, and the theory of quasimeasures. As well as the underlying theory, the authors discuss the results of numerical simulations and formulate open problems to prompt further research.

It teaches readers the methods, principles, and techniques for conducting predictive analytics projects, from start to finish. Internationally recognized data mining and predictive analytics expert Dean Abbott provides a practical and authoritative guide to best practices for successful predictive modeling, including expert tips and tricks to avoid common pitfalls. This book explains the theory behind the principles of predictive analytics in plain English; readers don’t need an extensive background in math and statistics, which makes it ideal for most tech-savvy business and data analysts. Each of the chapters describes one or more specific techniques and how they relate to the overall process model for predictive analytics. The depth of the description of a technique will match the complexity of the approach, with the intent to describe the techniques in enough depth for a practitioner to understand the effect of the major parameters needed to effectively use the technique and interpret the results. Each of the techniques is illustrated by examples, either unique to the task or as part of predictive modeling competitions. The companion website will provide all of the data sets used to generate these examples, along with links to open source and commercial software, so that readers can recreate and explore the examples. With detailed descriptions of techniques that get results, Applied Predictive Analytics shows you how to: – Choose the proper analytics technique for various scenarios – Avoid common mistakes and identify the weaknesses of various techniques – Mitigate outliers and fill in missing data when necessary – Interpret predictive models often considered “black boxes,” including model ensembles – Learn how to assess model performance so the best model is selected – Apply the appropriate sampling techniques for building and updating models About the Author Dean Abbott is the President of Abbott Analytics, Inc. (San Diego). He is an internationally recognized data mining and predictive analytics expert with over two decades experience in fraud detection, risk modeling, text mining, personality assessment, planned giving, toxicology, and other applications.

You’re Wrong, I’m Right: Dueling Authors Reexamine Classic Teachings in Anesthesia, ISBN-13: 978-3319431673 [PDF eBook eTextbook] Publisher: ‎ Springer; 1st ed. 2017 edition (November 21, 2016) Language: ‎ English 483 pages ISBN-10: ‎ 3319431676 ISBN-13: ‎ 978-3319431673 This text covers the major controversies and “myths” in each of the major anesthesia subspecialties. You’re Wrong, I’m Rightis designed to be an easy and engaging evidence based read that offers the fast-paced give-and-take of a debate between two experts at the top of their game–capturing their full argument, including expressions of humor and displays of temper. Each point of contention begins with a real case, carefully selected to encapsulate the argument. One author then argues the “pro” side and another the “con.” Sometimes a single author may argue both sides. In doing so, the authors highlight the newest evidence and remind us of classic principles that have stood the test of time. At the end of the debate, readers can determine which argument they will use in their clinical practice, and may also consult a final “Consensus” section that identifies the editors’ and contributors’ “picks” of the one best practice in a range of different situations.

Following a general introduction to the tools and concepts in structural chemistry,  the following topics are covered in detail: • computational chemistry • nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy • electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy • Mössbauer spectroscopy • rotational spectra and rotational structure • vibrational spectroscopy • electronic  characterization techniques • diffraction methods • mass spectrometry The final chapter presents a series of case histories, illustrating how chemists have applied a broad range of structural techniques to interpret and understand chemical systems. Throughout the textbook a strong connection is made between theoretical topics and the real world of practicing chemists. Each chapter concludes with problems and discussion questions, and a supporting website contains additional advanced material. Structural Methods in Molecular Inorganic Chemistry is an extensive update and sequel to the successful textbook Structural Methods in Inorganic Chemistry by Ebsworth, Rankin and Cradock. It is essential reading for all advanced students of chemistry, and a handy reference source for the professional chemist.

The 48 Laws of Power PDF EPUB EBOOK In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
