To be creative is part of the human psyche. It is one of those traits that set us apart from other animal species, and we have practised it for millennia. Even when our prime need was to fi nd food and shelter, we felt a desire to leave our mark on the environments that we inhabited. Whether this was to satisfy some deep spiritual calling or a method of passing on vital knowledge to fellow group members, or whether it was simply a way for an individual to satisfy an urge to leave his mark for future generations, we will never know. For just as long, people have turned inquisitive minds to ways of solving problems and dealing with the issues that have faced them in the struggle to survive: problems such as how to work more effi ciently, how to live more comfortably and how to be safe from danger.

As we have become more affl uent and blessed with more leisure time, style has become more important to us and is something with which we want to imbue our homes. But ‘style’ is a very personal notion, so why should anyone look to employ someone else, an interior designer, to tell them what is right? Why, for that matt er, should you as a designer presume to impose your ideas upon a space that isn ’t your own? Th e answer is this; interior design is about so much more than ‘what looks right’. It is about taking a holistic view of the way that individuals use and enjoy the spaces that they inhabit. It is about fi nding and creating a cohesive answer to a set of problems and dressing the solution so as to unify and strengthen our experience of the space. Many people understand this and that they do not have the necessary skills to tackle the job themselves. And so there is the need for professional interior designers.

Ketogenic Diet - 365 Days of Keto

Ketogenic Diet - 365 Days of Keto, Low-Carb Recipes for Rapid Weight Loss

File Type : EPUB

Language : English

Description

Despite the many different kinds of diets that you have no doubt heard about in your life, there is bound to be a few that are new to you. One of these in particular might be the Ketogenic Diet, also known as the Keto Diet, which is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate regimen. The theory behind the high-fat, low-carbohydrate ratio is that the body will rely on fat for energy instead of on carbohydrates, and therefore the body will become more lean as a result of having less fat stored in the body. Ideally, the Keto Diet will allow the body to go into ketosis, or a metabolic state where ketones - which are fats - are burned for energy instead of glucose - the carbohydrates. Those that follow the Keto Diet also consume just the right amount of protein that the body needs on a daily basis. Contrary to some of the other diets that are in existence, the Keto Diet does not focus on counting calories. The focus is instead centered on the fat, carbohydrate, and protein make-up of the food as well as on the weight of the portions.

But what led to the creation of the Keto Diet? Back in 1924, a Mayo Clinic doctor by the name of Russell Wilder developed the Ketogenic Diet in hopes of finding a treatment for epilepsy. Many people who suffer from epilepsy and other illnesses have reported a noticeable decrease in their symptoms after going on this diet. This practice dates back to Ancient Greece when doctors would change their patients' diets and even have them fast to force their body into starvation mode. The Ketogenic Diet is a much easier means of getting the body to go into the fasting mode without actually depriving the body of food. To this day, however, no one knows exactly why the Ketogenic Diet is so effective in helping those that suffer from epilepsy, autism, and other known illnesses. A typical meal for someone on the Ketogenic Diet would feature the high-fat, low-carbohydrate ratio, and might include a healthy serving of a protein such as chicken, some fruit or a protein-rich vegetable, and a high-fat component, which might be butter. The high-fat component on this diet usually comes from the ingredients which go into making the food; this could include heavy cream, butter, or buttermilk, and also might feature creamy dressings such as Ranch.

Description

It’s never easy to whittle down a year’s worth of Harvard Business Review ’s research, ideas, and advice to the few articles gathered in this volume, but this past year was particularly tough. In addition to staple HBR topics such as leadership and strategy, the complex and difficult issues we were turning over in our minds and discussing in boardrooms and on social media also filled the pages of HBR. Recurring themes included machine learning, the place of business in society, and the implications of intersectionality - where harassment and discrimination can aff ect any one of the multiple layers of our identity. The standout articles of the year covered an array of topics, from integrating cognitive technology with human work to speaking up - whether as a CEO activist or as a manager amid the #MeToo movement. Our authors gave you new lenses through which to view the evolving context in which we work. This collection of articles showcases these and other critical themes from the past year of Harvard Business Review .

It’s hard to imagine a world without flowers.Plants that have flowers grow almost everywhere, from gardens to high mountains. Every flower has a particular shape and color, so that it can perform a special job. By the time you've finished reading this book, you’ll know what this job is, and how the flower does it. Always ask permission before picking a flower.

A good way to find out about flowers is to take one apart. The petals are often big and bright. If you take the petals off, however, you will be left with the important parts of a flower—the ones that make the seeds. If you look at flowers in a garden or in the countryside, you will see that they come in many shapes. Some flowers are flat and round. Others are shaped like funnels, beaks, or even umbrellas. These types of flowers are called complicated flowers.

In nature, things are not always what they seem. Some plants have small, drab flowers, but they still manage to put on a brilliant show of color. Instead of petals, they use brightly colored leaves, or sepals, to attract insects.A houseplant that has not been watered is a sad sight.Its leaves wilt, and eventually it will dry out and die. But some plants can survive for months without a drink. These plants come from deserts—the world’s driest places. Many of them have amazing flowers, and they all have special ways of coping with drought.

Description

Big data is defined as collections of datasets whose volume, velocity or variety is so large that it is difficult to store, manage, process and analyze the data using traditional databases and data processing tools. In the recent years, there has been an exponential growth in the both structured and unstructured data generated by information technology, industrial, health care, retail, web, and other systems. Big data science and analytics deals with collection, storage, processing and analysis of massive-scale data on cloud-based computing systems. Industry surveys, by Gartner and e-Skills, for instance, predict that there will be over 2 million job openings for engineers and scientists trained in the area of data science and analytics alone, and that the job market is in this area is growing at a 150 percent year-over-year growth rate. 

There are very few books that can serve as a foundational textbook for colleges looking to create new educational programs in these areas of big data science and analytics. Existing books are primarily focused on the business side of analytics, or describing vendor-specific offerings for certain types of analytics applications, or implementation of certain analytics algorithms in specialized languages, such as R.

Description

The gripping fifth installment in the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling Shatter Me series. Will Juliette’s broken heart make her vulnerable to the strengthening darkness within her?

Juliette’s short tenure as the supreme commander of North America has been an utter disaster. When the children of the other world leaders show up on her doorstep, she wants nothing more than to turn to Warner for support and guidance. But he shatters her heart when he reveals that he’s been keeping secrets about her family and her identity from her—secrets that change everything.

She’s screaming.

She’s just screaming words, I think. They’re just words. But she’s screaming, screaming at the top of her lungs, with an agony that seems almost an exaggeration, and it’s causing devastation I never knew possible. It’s like she just—imploded.

It doesn’t seem real.

I mean, I knew Juliette was strong—and I knew we hadn’t discovered the depth of her powers—but I never imagined she’d be capable of this.

 A First Course In Finite Element Analysis By Jacob Fish and Ted Belytschko

File Type : PDF

Language : English

Description

This book is written to be an undergraduate and introductory graduate level textbook, depending on whether the more advanced topics appearing at the end of each chapter are covered.Without the advanced topics, the book is of a level readily comprehensible by junior and senior undergraduate students in science and engineering.With theadvanced topics included, thebookcan serve as the textbook for the first course in finite elements at the graduate level. The text material evolved from over 50 years of combined teaching experience by the authors of graduate and undergraduate finite element courses. The material in the book can be covered in a single semester and a meaningful course can be constructed from a subset of the chapters in this book for a one-quarter course. The course material is organized in three chronological units of about one month each: (1) finite elements for one-dimensional problems; (2) finite elements for scalar field problems in two dimensions and (3)finite elements for vectorfield problems in two dimensions and beams. In each case, the weak form is developed, shape functions are described and these ingredients are synthesized to obtain the finite element equations. Moreover, in a web-base chapter, the application of general purpose finite element software using ABAQUS is given for linear heat conduction and elasticity.

Description

BIOENERGETICS, an amalgamation of the term biological energetics, is the branch of biology and biochemistry that is concerned with how organisms extract energy from their environment and with how energy is used to fuel the myriad of life’s endergonic processes. Organisms may be usefully divided into two broad groups with respect to how they satisfy their need for energy. Autotrophic organisms convert energy from nonorganic sources such as light or from the oxidation of inorganic molecules to chemical energy. As heterotrophic organisms, animals must ingest and break down complex organic molecules to provide the energy for life. Interconversions of forms of energy are commonplace in the biological world. In photosynthesis, the electromagnetic energy of light is converted to chemical energy, largely in the form of carbohydrates, with high overall efficiency. The energy of light is used to drive oxidation-reduction reactions that could not take place in the dark. Light energy also powers the generation of a proton electrochemical potential across the green photosynthetic membrane.

A PARTICLE BEAM is an ensemble of particles that move together in close proximity. A beam is characterized by a few basic parameters such as the particle species and the average energy of the particles. The beam of particles must be well collimated so that all particles stay in close proximity throughout its motion. Deviation of the motion of individual particles from the average motion of the beam must be kept sufficiently small. The species of particles in the beam is most commonly electrically charged. Most common examples of particle species are electrons and protons. Less common particles include charged particles such as muons, pions, or neutral particles such as some specific atoms or molecules. The physics of accelerators also significantly overlaps with the physics of light optics and lasers, as light can be treated as a beam of photon particles.
