Feedbacks: Manage dynamical systems in business, econony, biology and social sciences, using balancing and reinforcing loops. by Juan Martin Garcia (2 Reviews)    Price verified 38 minutes ago

Naturally, socio-economic and ecological systems are made up of hundreds of interconnected positive and negative loops and its ultimate behaviour isn't obvious. The concept of the loop is very useful because it enables us to start from the structure of the system that we are analysing and work towards its dynamic behaviour. If a system fluctuates persistently, remains in equilibrium or drops off rapidly, we can identify the structural reasons and decide how to go about modifying the causal loops that are going to influence it. This procedure can be applied to anything from the control of an industrial process to the monitoring of diabetes or cancer, fluctuations in the price of raw materials, or economic growth. Yet the most important use of this concept is in understanding how the structure of systems affects their behaviour. In the same market and in the same year, various firms that offer the same product present very different economic results. The less competent managers put this down to causes beyond their control - the cost of labour, competitors, customers' habits, and so on - when in fact they should study why the systems they control (their businesses) have a less competitive structure than those that show better results.

QUANTUM THEORY OF SURFACES by AGUSTIN CONCA GIL (1 Review)    Price verified 2 hours ago

This unique work is a speculative theory that aims to complete and unify all physical phenomena. By completing the reading of this book and after constructive reflection, the reader will have the opportunity to understand all quantum phenomena in a complete way, and with it, understand gravity, time and their relationships and interactions with matter, obtaining in this way , the unprecedented ability to manipulate time and space in a tangible and truly possible way. Currently and as I write these lines, there is no contained hypothesis that makes it possible to travel great astronomical distances immediately, and there is no theory that really explains what time is and how it works, and none that can support a technology with which we will achieve build medical machines that in a local and controlled way, are capable of reversing the arrow of time, allowing us to carry out preconceived reconstructive transformations, unthinkable until now. This work, contained in a few pages, is undoubtedly the most important universal field of reference for the human species, as it provides the power for man to be the master of his own destiny and and be your own author.

Do you want the tips on how to tackle the obstacles that is faced by an engineer and engineering student in their life? If you answered yes to any of these questions then this book is for you... 50 Things To Know About Becoming An Engineer by author Arvindhra Rao Krishnamurthy offers an approach to how to deal with engineering life as an engineering student as well as the working world of an engineer. Most books on things to know about becoming an engineer tell you on the personality traits that should be possessed by an engineer and perhaps a little bit of insight into the world of engineering. Although there's nothing wrong with that, they only mention things to know and tips from a general point of view and not the first-hand experience from the eyes of an engineering student or engineer which makes it not so relatable. This book will provide you tips added with the first-hand experience from an engineering student who lived that life to make it relatable to the person reading it. Based on knowledge from the world's leading experts, the books full of tips are more interesting and exciting to be read when the personal adventures and experiences of the author are added in together in the book. In these pages, you'll discover the things to look out for throughout the engineering life as an engineering student as well as a working engineer. This book will help you get through engineering life in a much easier way since a lot of tips have been added on how to handle the obstacles and hurdles that are thrown continuously in the life of an engineer. By the time you finish this book, you will know how to tackle the engineering life like a legend. So grab YOUR copy today. You'll be glad you did.

The Four Powers: Assessments of Democracy, Abuses of Centralized Power, and Blockchain-Based National Security (Technodemocracy) by Jason M. Hanania (4powers.com) (27 Reviews)    Price verified 56 minutes ago

What is power? How does it become centralized or decentralized? These questions are at the heart of understanding how governments work. Humankind has barely scratched the surface of what it takes to provide for democracy, equality, and reduced social risk. History has taught us that centralizing power in one group member creates maximum power inequality and typically results in abuse of power. Whether done consciously or unconsciously, that group member will inevitably make decisions that serve personal rather than public interests. It's human nature. In The Four Powers, Hanania provides a fast-paced historical assessment of centralized power. From World War I to crypto, Hanania explains the emerging trend toward technodemocracy: a decentralized system of governance whereby power-centralized institutions (such as churches, banks, political parties, campaign donors, Amazon, and the CIA) become obsolete. ABOUT THE AUTHOR From the author of Architecture of a Technodemocracy (2018), an Amazon bestseller for both U.S. politics and sociology, comes this eye-opening analysis of the human power structure. Jason M. Hanania is an attorney, an engineer, and a former U.S. government employee. INTRODUCTION An Equation for Power In 2016 I set out to write the book Architecture of a Technodemocracy. It documents a system for ending political party systems using technology and democracy. Before authoring that book, I searched far and wide for an institutional definition of democracy but found none. If you asked ten social scientists for a simple definition of democracy, you would get ten different responses. As an engineer, I found this frustrating. I wanted a more technical understanding of democracy, a mathematical framework to build on. The same way physical science provides equations for motion (such as force equals mass times acceleration, or F = ma), I wanted a social science equation for democracy. After struggling with this problem for months, I ...
