Fractal Modelling
In this book, methods from fractal geometry are applied to model growth forms, taking as a case study a type of growth process which can be found among various taxonomic classes such as sponges and corals. These models can be used, for example, to understand the amazing variety of forms to be found in a coral reef and to simulate their growth with 2D and 3D geometrical objects. Models which mimic the growth of forms and the environmental influence on the growth process are also useful for ecologists, as a combination of simulation models together with the actual growth forms can be used to detect the effects of slow changes in the environment.

A Brilliant Commodity
The first history of Jews in the nineteenth-century transatlantic diamond industry, A Brilliant Commodity shows how Jews became key players in the trade from its earliest days-from South Africa to Amsterdam and London to New York-to its place as a lucrative commodity in the global economy.
Using R for Data Analysis in Social Sciences
Statistical analysis is common in the social sciences, and among the more popular programs is R. This book provides a foundation for undergraduate and graduate students in the social sciences on how to use R to manage, visualize, and analyze data. The focus is on how to address substantive questions with data analysis and replicate published findings. Using R for Data Analysis in Social Sciences adopts a minimalist approach and covers only the most important functions and skills in R to conduct reproducible research. It emphasizes the practical needs of students using R by showing how to import, inspect, and manage data, understand the logic of statistical inference, visualize data and findi...
R - FOR BASIC AND APPLIED SCIENCES
R is a Statistcal programming language. R is Free and open source. R is an interpreted language not a compiled one. The R programming environment contains the range of tools for parallel computing, machine and deep learning and for working with big Data, including Torch and Tensar flow facilitating construction and implementation of neural networks. The Bioconductor repository contains over a thousand of software packages written in R for analyzing data sets from CDNA microarrays to copy-number variation and epigenomics (Robert Gentleman-Sorin Draghicia). Due to Data Handling and Modeling capabilities and its flexibility, R is becoming the most widely used software in bioinformatics. The R p...
Velodrome Racing and the Rise of the Motorcycle
A hybrid machine--powered at times by steam, electricity or internal combustion--the motorcycle in its infancy was an innovation to help bicycle racers go faster. As motor age technology advanced, the quest for greater speed at the velodrome peaked, with riders reaching speeds up to 100 kph on bikes and trikes without brakes, suspensions or gear boxes. This book chronicles the individuals and events at the turn of the 20th century that led to the development of motor-powered two-wheelers.
Integrated Coastal Zone Management of Coral Reefs
"The applied research indicates that, to improve awareness, park education programs should be targeted specifically to the user groups primarily through outreach programs. Further, the Park's management programs should be highlighted, particularly the beneficial, tangible products and services (benefits) the Park provides to each user group... The closer the tie between reef conditions and business earnings, the greater the users' support for reef conservation." Coral reefs are sometimes referred to as "canaries of the sea" because of their early warning ability to show near-shore oceanic stress. Because of their biological diversity, they are also called "rainforests of the sea." Coral reef...
Functional Data Analysis with R and MATLAB
The book provides an application-oriented overview of functional analysis, with extended and accessible presentations of key concepts such as spline basis functions, data smoothing, curve registration, functional linear models and dynamic systems Functional data analysis is put to work in a wide a range of applications, so that new problems are likely to find close analogues in this book The code in R and Matlab in the book has been designed to permit easy modification to adapt to new data structures and research problems
