As new discoveries transform our view of the universe, this book focuses on the core questions: Is any living organism only the result of programming? What of the human being? Are we a robot participating in the living world or a consciousness in a biological habitat?
At last, a clear path through quantum mechanics. This book intuitively unravels entanglement and wave-particle duality, revealing a profound truth: the objectivity of reality is not a simple yes-or-no question.
Analysis and Forecasting of Financial Time Series
This book uses real-world cases to show how to analyse volatile financial time series with statistical analysis, machine learning, and deep learning. Learn to build predictive models to forecast stock prices and construct profitable portfolios using Python and R.
In multiplicative calculus, division and multiplication replace the roles of subtraction and addition. This book is devoted to multiplicative Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, summarizing the most recent contributions for mathematicians, physicists, engineers and biologists.
This book presents 10 actions for practical results in seismology. Through statistical analysis, we can estimate the probability of the next earthquake and identify foreshocks. From seismic waves, we can deduce an earthquake’s energy, magnitude, and the fault’s orientation.
This book examines why modern architecture lacks humanity and creates environmental errors. It studies historical styles to show how the evolution of design was broken in the 20th century by aggressive, reductionist ideologies that attack our inherited communities.
Turbulent fluid flows appear random, but averages like pressure and flow rate are predictable. Past mathematical models have been either too simple or too complex for practical use. This book explores a middle ground: computationally tractable yet realistic models.
On the Geology of Syria
Explore the geology of Syria, a highly diverse field for geologists. Located at the meeting point of the Eurasian, African, and Arabic plates, Syria is underlain by the active Dead Sea Fault Zone, making this area of unique interest.
A guide for business students, investors, and professionals to learn R and Python. This book uses a unique R-assisted learning environment and provides 15 weeks’ worth of teaching material.
A refresher for health professionals, this book reinforces the statistical principles required for certification and board exams. Its concise presentation, with many examples and exercises, helps solidify your learning and retention of key topics.
The Optimization of Parameters for Ships Navigating in Ice
An essential analysis of global icebreaker construction and the North Sea Route, presenting feasibility studies on the design, performance, and safe navigation of new arctic vessels.
Urban Histories in Practice
What is the relationship between history, memory, and the contemporary city? This volume explores this question in contexts of rapid urbanization and urban decline. Using critical and creative methods, the authors frame urban history not as theory, but as a call for action.
Modern Educational Methods and Strategies in Teaching Mathematics
Uncover the building blocks of primary math success and the motivational factors that drive students. This guide connects the development of student identity in secondary school to the critical role mathematical aptitude plays in a society’s economic prosperity.
Water and Ions as the Conditions Necessary for the Presence of Life
This book explores the intricate interdependence between water and ions. Water is essential for life, but not always sufficient. It pursues an answer to this mystery, showing how metal ions like iron, calcium, and carbon complement water for sustaining life.
This book examines the influence of solar activity on the light trapping of insects. Using data from a huge amount of moths from multiple continents, it demonstrates that the Sun has a multifaceted effect on their flight activity—an unprecedented finding.
Intelligent Transportation Systems
With demand for mobility growing and infrastructure limited, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are essential. This book presents the ingredients of good ITS not from a technology perspective, but from a business, management, and policy view, with real-life case studies.
Housing the Poor on the African Continent
This book uses Ubuntu philosophy to address low-cost housing in Africa. It argues that reciprocity and collective solidarity are key to housing rights, informing policy and practice while raising red flags about the challenges of implementing these ideals.
This historical account traces the discovery of a singular wave in 1834 to the development of modern soliton theory. It describes deep connections between soliton theory and nonlinear continuum mechanics, with wide applications for research scientists and advanced students.
Despite a demand for public spaces in Nairobi’s Central Business District, existing ones are under-utilized. This book analyzes their spatial evolution and sustainability, establishing factors for creating better-utilized spaces suitable for commerce, transit, and recreation.
Design Concepts for Seismic-Resistant Buildings
This book proposes a quantitative shaking evaluation for seismic-resistant buildings, with guidance to calculate the shaking quantity scale. It also demonstrates using Artificial Intelligence to predict this scale, which is highly important for earthquake early warning systems.
