Forecasting: Extrapolation and Projection by D. James Benton (3 Reviews)    Price verified 22 minutes ago

Forecasting has many applications besides tomorrow's weather, from business to medicine to economics. There are many diverse methods and approaches taken to accomplish this task and achieve the desired end: reliable expectation. Predicting the future behavior of some processes can be much more difficult than others. In this text we will consider only those expectations that can be expressed quantitatively and for which there are existing observations. We will not consider "events" per se, especially singular ones, such as the next stock market crash or nuclear war. We will also not consider computational models which are simply run out into the future, such as is done with the weather, as these approaches are not transferable. All of the data, spreadsheets, and software are available free online.

EINSTEIN - ROSEN BRIDGE NOW PROVEN: WORMHOLE ALLOWS ENTIRE PERSON TO TRAVEL by Johnny Vincento (6 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

For Students and Peer Review. OR THE GREATEST GIFT A SCIENCE PERSON COULD EVER RECEIVE. Greetings Fellow and Future Scientists. GREETINGS TOP SCIENTISTS OF THE WORLD... A project 20 years in the making brings humanity a new understanding of what reality is. Science fiction writers have brainwashed the public to think that a machine can Teleport a person from point A to point B. Once science understands the real quantum physics of Teleportation, then science can pursue many goals. The STEERING of the Wormhole was not understood for practically the entire 20 years. The "Quantum Entanglement Silver Cord Wormhole" now has very precise STEERING. FOR THIS REASON A TEST CAN BE PERFORMED TO VISIT OTHER PLANETS WITH INTELLIGENT LIFE For this reason also, "ACTUAL TIME TRAVEL" can be attempted.. It is not the physical body that goes through the Wormhole, but one's Life Force. Once through, the person Teleporting is DUPLICATED, thus making two of the person. There is no distance to travel when crossing dimensions. Space is folded as in the Einstein - Rosen Bridge. However, that model is replaced with this working two way Bridge. It has been debated that the Duplicate person or duplicated Particles as in Quantum Entanglement are either an opposite or a mirror duplication or an exact duplication but not both. To add what connects the two physical bodies through "Spooky Action from a distance?" To satisfy this question, the duplicated person is both exact and opposite at the same time. Connected by the Silver Cord. For the original person on Earth is Mortal and the duplicated person is exact and immortal. A secondary project would actually have to be a machine. This would be something that was never attempted by man: A "Dimension Separation Viewer.". This will be a window between overlapping worlds, occupying the same space, unseen due to Dimensions and accessed through Teleportation or a D.S.V. machine... NOT FICTION..

Cow Dung - A Down-To-Earth Solution To Global Warming And Climate Change by Dr. Sahadeva dasa (Soul Science University Press) (42 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Environmental crisis is for real and it's coming around faster than you think. It's not a brainchild of some conspiracy theorist but a tangible, perceivable fact, proven by the catastrophic events all over the world. But for most of us, caught up in the daily grind, it's hardly a subject worth pondering over. Common man in the streets of London, New York or Delhi has very little time to worry about some ozone layer up there or some damn iceberg in the North Pole. At best, it is a snow bear's problem. But the scientific fraternity and many political leaders don't think so. They are waking up to the horrors of global warming and climatic change. Hectic efforts are on to contain the damage but with very little success. This book provides a simple solution to this grave crisis which has the potential to wipe out life altogether. This is a calamity of unprecedented proportions coming our way and a point of no return for the industrial civilization. One of the arguments sceptics throw back at you is that the climate has always changed, and that is absolutely right. It's the rate of change that is the problem right now. It's changing so quickly that it exceeds our adaptive capacity. We are in a hole and it's time to stop digging.

Roundup (Glyphosate) is Making You Sicker than You Think:: Overcome Cancer, Allergies, Autism, Liver Damage and more! by George McClelland (8 Reviews)    Price verified 53 minutes ago

This book is short, but perhaps the most important book you will read in order to improve your health. We were assured that Roundup was safe and did not damage our environment. History and research has proven it is not safe and is damaging our environment. It is behind most of the explosion of illnesses. It is used in such large quantities that it is in our air, rain and water supply. Even those of us who are careful of what we eat and drink are still exposed to it and even small exposure causes major health problems. Research has found a way to repair the damage in your body caused by Roundup (glyphosate). You will find a link enclosed which will educate you on this breakthrough. I did not attempt to give you all the details because you will learn enough in this book to make an educated decision. If you want the background scientific research, you can click on the proper link below. The explosion in all forms of sicknesses have many causes, most of which lie in what industry is doing to us and our environment. Most of the big corporations are owned or controlled by the same cartel of people. They have the money to buy our politicians or to force the politicians to do their bidding. Laws are being written to allow them to destroy our health and environment and not be held accountable. Unless we, the public, educate ourselves about what is really going on in our world, we are doomed to die painful and early deaths. We cannot count on our government to protect us because it is too busy protecting the people who are destroying our world and our health. We have been brainwashed to believe everything they say is good and we must wake ourselves up from our slumber. If not, the future of humans on this earth is going to be a lot shorter than any of us expect. We must begin holding our government - representatives and congressmen/women alike - accountable.

Mathematical Solution Unifying the Four Fundamental Forces in Nature by Richard Lighthouse (62 Reviews)    Price verified 33 minutes ago

This technical note describes a simple mathematical-geometrical solution for unifying the four fundamental forces in nature. The fundamental forces of gravitation, electromagnetism, strong force, and the weak force are actually different aspects of the same force. In general, the relationship between the four forces can be described using a form of the equation for Analog Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (Analog-QAM). This equation form is developed utilizing the concept of a "blinking" or discrete physical universe. The approach to develop the solution is described by minimizing the number of available dimensions (zero), which is in contrast to numerous efforts (String theory, Mtheory, Quantum gravity) that attempt to maximize the number of dimensions under consideration. An Electrical Universe (EU) model is presented that provides sufficient conditions for a solution. This mathematical solution should be tested against experimental data to confirm its validity, however it is noted that, "discrete-time" forces will be measured differently than "time-averaged" forces in a laboratory environment. Confirmation of the theory is suggested through small, discrete-time interval measurements of the gravitational acceleration force and the electromagnetic force, where they will be seen to vary continuously, and yet also retain a "time-averaged" value. Each reader must comprehend that our universe literally blinks off and on, more than 1 trillion times every second. For those unconvinced that our universe is blinking, please read "1024 Elementary Particles," which provides compelling mathematical evidence. -

Time Matters: 1st edition by Alexandre Kassiantchouk (1 Review)    Price verified one hour ago

7th edition available: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQR92W6D , and it is free! Misinterpretation of Hubble's observation (of distant stars looking red) led to Universe expansion and Bing Bang speculations. Actual reason for his observation is time in the past was slower: • Let's say, 10 billion years ago you started sending letters to yourself, one letter a day. • 10 billion years have passed, and now, for some reason, our day is twice shorter/faster than it used to be, and letters start coming. • How many letters you'll be receiving a day? Answer: 1 letter every OTHER day. • Frequency of getting letters a day as-if dropped twice. And if 14B years ago time was twice slower than today, then of 100 light-waves sent a second, you'll be receiving 50 waves a second now. Frequency drop = wavelength increase = redshift. Cosmology collapsed on twice slower time 14B years ago (wavelength change was incorrectly explained as space/wave expansion - Doppler effect). Second chapter solves Vera Rubin's puzzle about Milky Way and spiral galaxies - something extra speeds them up, but holds together. Solution is in time dilation - time in spiral arms runs faster and holds galaxy together. Fifth chapter is about time dilation spawning matter: "Vacuum" is "unstable" - "virtual" particle-antiparticle pairs appear, but next moment they disappear - annihilate. But uneven flow of time in an area throws this balance off - some pairs miss rendezvous - miss coming back together into "vacuum". And this chapter points at antimatter asylum.

Introduction to Biological Aging Theory by Theodore Goldsmith (Azinet Press) (52 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Why do we age? The answer to this question is critical to our ability to prevent and treat highly age-related diseases such as cancer and heart disease that now cause the majority of deaths in the developed world. For centuries aging has been considered an unalterable and therefore untreatable condition. We can find treatments for individual diseases but not for aging. Consequently, the effectiveness of medical treatment declines with age. New thinking backed by recent discoveries increasingly suggests that aging is itself a treatable condition and that treatments that delay aging can be found to treat or delay occurrence of age-related diseases. Anti-aging medicine is therefore possible. In addition, in order to understand (and find treatments for) age-related diseases we need to understand the biological mechanisms that cause the drastic increase in incidence with age. Different theories suggest very different disease mechanisms. This book provides an overview of biological aging theories including history, current status, major scientific controversies, current medical research, and implications for the future of medicine. Major topics include: human mortality as a function of age, aging mechanisms and processes, the programmed vs. non-programmed aging controversy, empirical evidence on aging, and the feasibility of anti-aging and regenerative medicine. Research and practice of anti-aging medicine is also discussed, Evolution theory is essential to aging theories. Theorists have been struggling for 160 years to explain how observed aging, deterioration, and consequent death fit with Darwin's survival-of-the-fittest concept. This book explains how continuing genetics discoveries have produced changes in the way we think about evolution that in turn lead to new thinking about the evolutionary nature of aging. Education Level: This book uses terminology like phenotype, diploid, introns, genome, and prokaryote, and is suitable for those having an ...

Control: A History of Behavioral Psychology (Qualitative Studies in Psychology Book 14) by John A. Mills (NYU Press) (4 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Behaviorism has been the dominant force in the creation of modern American psychology. However, the unquestioned and unquestioning nature of this dominance has obfuscated the complexity of behaviorism. Control serves as an antidote to this historical myopia, providing the most comprehensive history of behaviorism yet written. Mills successfully balances the investigation of individual theorists and their contributions with analysis of the structures of assumption which underlie all behaviorist psychology, and with behaviorism's role as both creator and creature of larger American intellectual patterns, practices, and values. Furthermore, Mills provides a cogent critique of behaviorists' narrow attitudes toward human motivation, exploring how their positivism cripples their ability to account for the unobservable, inner factors that control behavior. Control's blend of history and criticism advances our understanding not only of behaviorism, but also the development of social science and positivism in twentieth-century America.

Clarity, Cut, and Culture: The Many Meanings of Diamonds by Susan Falls (NYU Press) (2 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

What our obsession with diamonds reveals about our material culture Images of diamonds appear everywhere in American culture. And everyone who has a diamond has a story to tell about it. Our stories about diamonds not only reveal what we do with these tiny stones, but also suggest how we create value, meaning, and identity through our interactions with material culture in general. Things become meaningful through our interactions with them, but how do people go about making meaning? What can we learn from an ethnography about the production of identity, creation of kinship, and use of diamonds in understanding selves and social relationships? By what means do people positioned within a globalized political-economy and a compelling universe of advertising interact locally with these tiny polished rocks? This book draws on 12 months of fieldwork with diamond consumers in New York City as well as an analysis of the iconic De Beers campaign that promised romance, status, and glamour to anyone who bought a diamond to show that this thematic pool is just one resource among many that diamond owners draw upon to engage with their own stones. The volume highlights the important roles that memory, context, and circumstance also play in shaping how people interpret and then use objects in making personal worlds. It shows that besides operating as subjects in an ad-burdened universe, consumers are highly creative, idiosyncratic, and theatrical agents.

Distracted Driving: The Multi-Tasking Myth (You Be the Judge Book 1) by Steven Gacovino (57 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

We all want to believe we can drive responsibly and monitor distractions. But our attention is limited by nature, and we are often very subtly distracted from noticing things right in front of us. Depending on what you're doing while you're driving, you could literally miss seeing a giraffe grazing on the roadside. Because of distractions, many people have failed to see a gorilla beating its chest right in front of them, and this is no joke. We really are not good multi-taskers when our attention is spread over tasks that require dedicated attention. That's why conversations on cellphones turn out to be a serious distraction to drivers. Read this book and see what you think. And then see what you think about whether it's fair to the rest of the people in your car or on the road when you allow yourself to be distracted in the special way that cellphones can distract.

Handbook of Computational Social Science for Policy by Eleonora Bertoni (Springer) (2 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

This open access handbook describes foundational issues, methodological approaches and examples on how to analyse and model data using Computational Social Science (CSS) for policy support. Up to now, CSS studies have mostly developed on a small, proof-of concept, scale that prevented from unleashing its potential to provide systematic impact to the policy cycle, as well as from improving the understanding of societal problems to the definition, assessment, evaluation, and monitoring of policies. The aim of this handbook is to fill this gap by exploring ways to analyse and model data for policy support, and to advocate the adoption of CSS solutions for policy by raising awareness of existing implementations of CSS in policy-relevant fields. To this end, the book explores applications of computational methods and approaches like big data, machine learning, statistical learning, sentiment analysis, text mining, systems modelling, and network analysis to different problems in the social sciences. The book is structured into three Parts: the first chapters on foundational issues open with an exposition and description of key policymaking areas where CSS can provide insights and information. In detail, the chapters cover public policy, governance, data justice and other ethical issues. Part two consists of chapters on methodological aspects dealing with issues such as the modelling of complexity, natural language processing, validity and lack of data, and innovation in official statistics. Finally, Part three describes the application of computational methods, challenges and opportunities in various social science areas, including economics, sociology, demography, migration, climate change, epidemiology, geography, and disaster management. The target audience of the book spans from the scientific community engaged in CSS research to policymakers interested in evidence-informed policy interventions, but also includes private companies holdingdata that can be used to ...

This is an open access book. Each country in Southeast Asia has experienced numerous adversities, from pandemic and disasters, to inequalities and threats to democracy. Adding to these challenges, are our common experience of colonialism where its legacies still resonate in the present. Despite these challenges, Southeast Asia continue to participate in global commitments geared towards realizing sustainable development, democracy, and countervailing the imbalance global power relation. Furthermore, Southeast Asia has been the center of studies that critically examined the global power of knowledge production. Categories of 'developing, undeveloped, or third world' have been largely questioned, as these categories created more segregation and reflected Orientalist notion rather than acknowledging countries of Southeast Asia and others as a distinct entity. Under this backdrop, the conference will explore these important questions: what makes Southeast Asia resilient? Why? What brought Southeast Asia together as 'Southeast Asia'? What are the challenges for Southeast Asia today? How do we overcome them? How does Southeast Asia contest and cooperate with global powers within the international network? This conference will bring together academics, educators, activists, or even policy makers who work on Southeast Asia to discuss those questions. Experts within and outside the countries of Southeast Asia are welcome to share their research and knowledge on various issues about the region.

Creating Resilient Futures: Integrating Disaster Risk Reduction, Sustainable Development Goals and Climate Change Adaptation Agendas by Stephen Flood (Palgrave Macmillan) Price verified 22 minutes ago

This open access edited volume critically examines a coherence building opportunity between Climate Change Adaptation, the Sustainable Development Goals and Disaster Risk Reduction agendas through presenting best practice approaches, and supporting Irish and international case studies. The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted existing global inequalities and demonstrated the scope and scale of cascading socio-ecological impacts. The impacts of climate change on our global communities will likely dwarf the disruption brought on by the pandemic, and moreover, these impacts will be more diffuse and pervasive over a longer timeframe. This edited volume considers opportunities to address global challenges in the context of developing resilience as an integrated development continuum instead of through independent and siloed agendas.

The precise value for the blinking frequency of our universe, the Lighthouse Frequency, is estimated at 1.1 THz. Each reader must comprehend that our universe is literally blinking off and on, more than 1 trillion times every second. For those unconvinced that our universe is blinking, please read "1024 Elementary Particles," which provides compelling mathematical evidence.

Breaking into the Lab: Engineering Progress for Women in Science by Sue V. Rosser (NYU Press) (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Why are there so few women in science? In Breaking into the Lab, Sue Rosser uses the experiences of successful women scientists and engineers to answer the question of why elite institutions have so few women scientists and engineers tenured on their faculties. Women are highly qualified, motivated students, and yet they have drastically higher rates of attrition, and they are shying away from the fields with the greatest demand for workers and the biggest economic payoffs, such as engineering, computer sciences, and the physical sciences. Rosser shows that these continuing trends are not only disappointing, they are urgent: the U.S. can no longer afford to lose the talents of the women scientists and engineers, because it is quickly losing its lead in science and technology. Ultimately, these biases and barriers may lock women out of the new scientific frontiers of innovation and technology transfer, resulting in loss of useful inventions and products to society.

Feeling Mediated: A History of Media Technology and Emotion in America (Critical Cultural Communication Book 31) by Brenton J. Malin (NYU Press) (1 Review)    Price verified 22 minutes ago

New technologies, whether text message or telegraph, inevitably raise questions about emotion. New forms of communication bring with them both fear and hope, on one hand allowing us deeper emotional connections and the ability to forge global communities, while on the other prompting anxieties about isolation and over-stimulation. Feeling Mediated investigates the larger context of such concerns, considering both how media technologies intersect with our emotional lives and how our ideas about these intersections influence how we think about and experience emotion and technology themselves. Drawing on extensive archival research, Brenton J. Malin explores the historical roots of much of our recent understanding of mediated feelings, showing how earlier ideas about the telegraph, phonograph, radio, motion pictures, and other once-new technologies continue to inform our contemporary thinking. With insightful analysis, Feeling Mediated explores a series of fascinating arguments about technology and emotion that became especially heated during the early 20th century. These debates, which carried forward and transformed earlier discussions of technology and emotion, culminated in a set of ideas that became institutionalized in the structures of American media production, advertising, social research, and policy, leaving a lasting impact on our everyday lives.

Oxygen-Carrier-Aided Combustion Technology for Solid-Fuel Conversion in Fluidized Bed by Lunbo Duan (1 Review)    Price verified 4 hours ago

This open access book surveys the development of OCAC technology in the last decade for solid fuel conversion in fluidized beds. The scientific concerns, including combustion and emission characteristics, ash-related problems, OC aging, and so on, are summarized and analyzed. Beyond this, new concepts like OCAC with Oxy-PFBC, OCAC coupled with staged fuel conversion, OCAC in rotatory kilns and multi-functional OCAC are proposed, so as to promote the applications of OCAC to various fields in the future. Moreover, this book also outlines the perspectives for future research and development of OCAC. As an emerging technology, extensive studies and investigations are still necessary to fill in the gap from the fundamental understanding of the technology to its industrial demonstrations. Nevertheless, we believe that this book provides novel insights for the readership of energy and combustion and stimulate meaningful follow-on research on OCAC technology.

Why "Happy Meat" Is Always Wrong by Magnus Vinding (7 Reviews)    Price verified 58 minutes ago

The "happy meat" position does not challenge our large-scale mistreatment of non-human beings, but rather serves to support it. That is among the core claims of this essay, which argues that the rejection of the "happy meat" position is critical if we are to end the extreme horrors that humanity inflicts upon other animals. "Magnus Vinding argues powerfully against eating 'happy meat'." -- Peter Singer, Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University, author of The Life You Can Save and Animal Liberation "Like child abuse, animal abuse can be practised with more or less cruelty. Magnus Vinding argues persuasively that we shouldn't be doing it at all. In his latest work, Vinding explores the insidious concept of 'happy meat' - a tribute to the human capacity for self-deception. Harming other sentient beings should not be a lifestyle choice in any civilised society." -- David Pearce, author of The Hedonistic Imperative

Green Voices: Defending Nature and the Environment in American Civic Discourse (SUNY Press Open Access) by Richard D. Besel (SUNY Press) Price verified 33 minutes ago

The written works of nature's leading advocates -- from Charles Sumner and John Muir to Rachel Carson and President Jimmy Carter, to name a few -- have been the subject of many texts, but their speeches remain relatively unknown or unexamined. Green Voices aims to redress this situation. After all, when it comes to the leaders, heroes, and activists of the environmental movement, their speeches formed part of the fertile earth from which uniquely American environmental expectations, assumptions, and norms germinated and grew. Despite having in common a definitively rhetorical focus, the contributions in this book reflect a variety of methods and approaches. Some concentrate on a single speaker and a single speech. Others look at several speeches. Some are historical in orientation, while others are more theoretical. In other words, this collection examines the broad sweep of US environmental history from the perspective of our most famous and influential environmental figures. This book is freely available in an open access edition thanks to Knowledge Unlatched -- an initiative that provides libraries and institutions with a centralized platform to support OA collections and from leading publishing houses and OA initiatives.
