British Aircraft Carriers 1939-45
English | 49 Pages | PDF | 5,2 MB
In August 1917, at the height of the First World War, a small biplane landed on the makeshift flight deck of HMS Furious - the first ever carrier landing in aviation history. This small act ushered in a new era. Two decades later, when Britain stood on the brink of another World War, the Royal Navy had a small fleet of aircraft carriers, with several more nearing completion. When war came the newly-formed Fleet Air Arm would demonstrate that what it lacked in modern equipment, it made up for in skill and daring.

Coronel and Falklands 1914 - Duel in the South Atlantic
English | 98 Pages | PDF | 5,3 MB
Upon the outbreak of war, the British Royal Navy was deployed globally, whilst the Imperial German Navy was concentrated in two areas - Home Waters and Tsingtao, the home port of the crack East Asia Cruiser Squadron which, under the command of Admiral von Spee contained some of Germany's most modern cruisers. As Spee made his way to the Chilean port of Valparaiso, he met the British 4th Cruiser Squadron which had been ordered to engage and defeat the German force. This resulted in the battle of Coronel where the antiquated British warships proved no match for Spee's modern cruisers. It was the first naval defeat suffered by the Royal Navy in over 100 years. When news reached London, panic reigned and two ships HMS Inflexible and Invincible were sent to lead the force against Spee. When bad weather delayed the German arrival, Spee knew that he had to stand and fight, unaware that amongst the ships opposing him were two modern battlecruisers which outclassed any of his own squadron's ships. Given the presence of Inflexible and Invincible, the result of the battle had an inevitable outcome and after several hours hard combat, Spee's ships were defeated.

Jonathan Quong, "Liberalism without Perfection"
2011 | ISBN: 0199594872 | 352 pages | PDF | 12,9 MB
A growing number of political philosophers favor a view called liberal perfectionism. According to this view, liberal political morality is characterized by a commitment to helping individuals lead autonomous lives and making other valuable choices. In this book Jonathan Quong rejects this widely held view and offers an alternative account of liberal political morality. Quong argues that the liberal state should not be engaged in determining what constitutes a valuable or worthwhile life nor trying to make sure that individuals live up to this ideal.

Andrew Blake, "Markov Random Fields for Vision and Image Processing"
2011 | ISBN-10: 0262015773 | PDF | 472 pages | 5 MB
This volume demonstrates the power of the Markov random field (MRF) in vision, treating the MRF both as a tool for modeling image data and, utilizing recently developed algorithms, as a means of making inferences about images. These inferences concern underlying image and scene structure as well as solutions to such problems as image reconstruction, image segmentation, 3D vision, and object labeling. It offers key findings and state-of-the-art research on both algorithms and applications. After an introduction to the fundamental concepts used in MRFs, the book reviews some of the main algorithms for performing inference with MRFs; presents successful applications of MRFs, including segmentation, super-resolution, and image restoration, along with a comparison of various optimization methods; discusses advanced algorithmic topics; addresses limitations of the strong locality assumptions in the MRFs discussed in earlier chapters; and showcases applications that use MRFs in more complex ways, as components in bigger systems or with multiterm energy functions. The book will be an essential guide to current research on these powerful mathematical tools.
Jordi Gali, Unemployment Fluctuations and Stabilization Policies: A New Keynesian Perspective
English | 2011 | ISBN 10: 0262015978 | PDF | 120 pages | 3 MB
The past fifteen years have witnessed the rise of the New Keynesian model as a framework of reference for the analysis of fluctuations and stabilization policies. That framework, which combines the rigor and internal consistency of dynamic general equilibrium models with such typically Keynesian assumptions as monopolistic competition and nominal rigidities, makes possible a meaningful, welfare based analysis of the effects of monetary policy rules.
Robin Clark, "Meaningful Games: Exploring Language with Game Theory"
2011 | ISBN: 0262016176 | 376 pages | PDF | 4 MB
In Meaningful Games, Robin Clark explains in an accessible manner the usefulness of game theory in thinking about a wide range of issues in linguistics. Clark argues that we use grammar strategically to signal our intended meanings: our choices as speaker are conditioned by what choices the hearer will make interpreting what we say. Game theory--according to which the outcome of a decision depends on the choices of others--provides a formal system that allows us to develop theories about the kind of decision making that is crucial to understanding linguistic behavior.
Suvrit Sra, Sebastian Nowozin, "Optimization for Machine Learning"
2011 | ISBN: 026201646X | PDF | 512 pages | 3 MB
The interplay between optimization and machine learning is one of the most important developments in modern computational science. Optimization formulations and methods are proving to be vital in designing algorithms to extract essential knowledge from huge volumes of data. Machine learning, however, is not simply a consumer of optimization technology but a rapidly evolving field that is itself generating new optimization ideas. This book captures the state of the art of the interaction between optimization and machine learning in a way that is accessible to researchers in both fields.Optimization approaches have enjoyed prominence in machine learning because of their wide applicability and attractive theoretical properties. The increasing complexity, size, and variety of today's machine learning models call for the reassessment of existing assumptions.

Adding Ajax
by Shelley Powers
English | 1st Ed. edition (June 27, 2007) | ISBN: 0596529368 | 400 pages | PDF | 4.3 MB
Ajax can bring many advantages to an existing web application without forcing you to redo the whole thing. This book explains how you can add Ajax to enhance, rather than replace, the way your application works. For instance, if you have a traditional web application based on submitting a form to update a table, you can enhance it by adding the capability to update the table with changes to the form fields, without actually having to submit the form. That's just one example.

The treatment of the subject is systematic and the exposition easily understandable. All standard examples have been included and their model solutions have also been given. This book falls into five units: In first and second unit we have discussed the Numerical Analysis. The unit I deals with Finite Difference—Forward, Backward and Central difference, Newton’s formula for Forward and Backward differences, Interpolation, Stirling’s formula and Lagrange’s interpolation formula. Solution of nonlinear equations in one variable by Newton-Raphson method, Simultaneous algebraic equation by Gauss and Regula-Falsi method, Solution of simultaneous equations by Gauss elimination and Gauss Seidel methods, Fitting of curves (straight line and parabola of second degree) by method of least squares are also discussed. In unit II, we have discussed Numerical differentiation, Numerical Integration, Trapezoidal rule, Simpson’s one-third and three-eighth rules. Numerical solution of ordinary differential equations of first order, Picard’s method, Euler’s and modified Euler’s methods. Miline’s method and Runga-Kutta fourth order method, Simple linear difference equations with constant coefficients are also discussed in the unit. Unit III deals with the special functions, Bessel’s functions of first and second kind, Simple recurrence relations, Orthogonal property of Bessel’s transformation and generating functions. Legendre’s function of first kind, Simple recurrence relations, Orthogonal property and generating function are also discussed. In unit IV, the basic principles of probability theory is given in order to prepare the background for its application to various fields. Baye’s theorem with simple applications, Expected value, Theoretical probability distributions—Binomial, Poisson and Normal distributions are discussed. Unit V deals with Lines of regression, concept of simple Co-relation and Rank correlation. Ztransforms, its inverse, simple properties and application to difference equations are also discussed.

The Paradox of Photography
English | 2009-07-24 | ISBN: 9042026669 | 206 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The Paradox of Photography analyzes the discourse on photography by four of the most important modern French poets and theorists (Baudelaire, Breton, Barthes and Valery). It stresses in particular the importance of this visual language for the development of both new forms of narrative and original critical studies on issues of representation in art. It also reflects upon the integration of photography within the domain of technical modernity while emphasizing its aesthetic identity stemming from the Western tradition of figurative painting.
George Tan, "Success Secrets: Real-Life Stories to Inspire and Motivate"
2008 | ISBN: 9812790047 | 151 pages | PDF | 7 MB
This unique book fills a vital gap present in most study and examination guides - it offers inspiration and motivation to make the student want to excel. As such, it is a valuable complement to the author's other book, "Scholars' Secrets". The author shares his personal story about how he overcame poverty and parental abuse, and progressed from doing badly in primary school to topping his class in postgraduate studies. He also features stories about "famous failures" - people who succeeded in life despite having little or no formal education, such as Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and multi-millionaire Li Ka Shing.Thus, academic qualifications are by no means the "be all and end all". Ultimately, the difference lies in Praise, a life skills model developed by the author for excellence and success. Through the six key concepts of Prizedream, Rules, Analysis, Invincibility, Strategy and Excellence, this model will help you overcome whatever obstacles you face, as it leads you out of mediocrity and conformity towards your unique vision. The related titles include: "Scholars' Secrets"; "Scholars' Secrets and Success Secrets" (Bundle).
