Быть девятой женой всесильного Императора очень скучно. Как можно стать идеальной правительницей, когда цвет твоего флага розовый, а сама ты должна следовать образу наивной феи в пышном платье? Меня тошнит от этих цветов и рюшек, тошнит от заговоров против моей персоны, тошнит от навязчивых фаворитов (мне и своих хватает). Этим глупым, жадным, лесным созданиям невдомек, что в прошлой жизни в моём сердце были лишь тяжелый рок, черепа и песни о кладбищах. Слышишь меня, судьба? Я узнаю причину смерти предыдущего обладателя тела и сделаю все по-своему.

Dimensions of Uncertainty in Communication Engineering is a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to the problems of nonaleatory uncertainty and the mathematical tools needed to solve them. The book gathers together tools derived from statistics, information theory, moment theory, interval analysis and probability boxes, dependence bounds, nonadditive measures, and Dempster–Shafer theory. While the book is mainly devoted to communication engineering, the techniques described are also of interest to other application areas, and commonalities to these are often alluded to through a number of references to books and research papers. This is an ideal supplementary book for courses in wireless communications, providing techniques for addressing epistemic uncertainty, as well as an important resource for researchers and industry engineers. Students and researchers in other fields such as statistics, financial mathematics, and transport theory will gain an overview and understanding on these methods relevant to their field.

This text will be useful for the four different audiences listed below. It is expected that all readers will have knowledge of basic calculus, linear algebra, and ordinary differential equations, and that the successful student will either already know elementary partial differential equations, or be concurrently learning that subject. The material is intended to be accessible to those without expertise in MATLAB, although a little prior experience with programming is probably required. Even without much prior knowledge of programming or MATLAB, by working through a selection of exercises in this text, the reader will be able to create working programs that simulate many of the classic problems from PDE, while gaining an understanding of the underlying fundamental mathematical principles.

This book on pricing decisions gives practical guidance on how to identify customer value, estimating customers’ willingness to pay for these benefits, and on how psychology affects customers’ perception of prices in a market. This strategic view on pricing gives the reader a competitive advantage. It empowers them with means to plan and perform a pricing strategy based on their value propositions. The target group for this book is managers, entrepreneurs, and business students. The book guides students in understanding how economics, strategy, marketing, and psychology are combined when it comes to pricing decisions. Further, the chapters contain step-by-step procedures that help managers and entrepreneurs to succeed with complex pricing decisions in busy workdays. The analysis is based on the basic edition of Microsoft Excel software. One of the most difficult decisions a business manager must make is in pricing their products. If they price too low, they risk not covering the costs or generating profit. If they price too high, they can risk potential customers never becoming paying customers.

Disruptions in supply chains and consumption patterns triggered by the pandemic together with stimulus packages and the energy crisis have catapulted inflation rates to levels last seen in the 1970s. For inflation markets, it’s hard to understate this sudden and enormous change in fortunes. Understanding the future evolution of consumer prices has become crucial for investors across all asset classes as central banks tailor their policy responses with a view to anchoring inflation expectations. Inflation-Linked Bonds and Derivatives condenses more than 15 years of dedicated coverage of inflation markets. It provides investors, issuers and policy makers with all the relevant tools to navigate inflation markets, starting with the nuts and bolts of consumer price indices, forwards, carry and trading strategies, to advanced topics like seasonality adjustments and the use of inflation options. With its many illustrative graphs and tabulated data, this exceptional book will benefit traders, corporate treasury departments, fixed income investors, insurance companies and pension funds executives.

How hacking cultures drive contemporary capitalism and the future of innovation. In Resistance to the Current, Johan Söderberg and Maxigas examine four historical case studies of hacker movements and their roles in shaping the twenty-first-century’s network society. Based on decades of field work and analysis, this intervention into current debates situates an exploding variety of hacking practices within the contradictions of capitalism. Depoliticized accounts of computing cultures and collaborative production miss their core driver, write Söderberg and Maxigas: the articulation of critique and its recuperation into innovations. Drawing on accounts of building, developing, and running community wireless networks, 3D printers, hackerspaces, and chat protocols, the authors develop a theoretical framework of critique and recuperation to examine how hackers—who have long held a reputation for being underground rebels—transform their outputs from communal, underground experiments to commercial products that benefit the state and capital.

This book provides a concise but comprehensive guide to representation, which forms the core of Machine Learning (ML). State-of-the-art practical applications involve a number of challenges for the analysis of high-dimensional data. Unfortunately, many popular ML algorithms fail to perform, in both theory and practice, when they are confronted with the huge size of the underlying data. Solutions to this problem are aptly covered in the book. In addition, the book covers a wide range of representation techniques that are important for academics and ML practitioners alike, such as Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH), Distance Metrics and Fractional Norms, Principal Components (PCs), Random Projections and Autoencoders. Several experimental results are provided in the book to demonstrate the discussed techniques’ effectiveness. The coverage is meant for both students and teachers and helps practitioners in implementing ML algorithms. It is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students and researchers working in Machine Learning, data mining, and pattern recognition.

Docker and Linux containers have fundamentally changed the way that organizations develop, deliver, and run software at scale. But understanding why these tools are important and how they can be successfully integrated into your organization's ecosystem can be challenging. This fully updated guide provides developers, operators, architects, and technical managers with a thorough understanding of the Docker tool set and how containers can improve almost every aspect of modern software delivery and management. Docker is a tool that promises to easily encapsulate the process of creating a distributable artifact for any application, deploying it at scale into any environment, and streamlining the workflow and responsiveness of agile software organizations. Initially, many people who were unfamiliar with Docker viewed it as some sort of virtualization platform, but in reality, it was the first widely accessible tool to build on top of a much newer technology called containerization. Docker and Linux containers have had a significant impact on a wide range of industry segments that include tools and technologies like Vagrant, KVM, OpenStack, Mesos, Capistrano, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, and so on.
