TRADE PAPERBACK ORIGINAL. Out of sight, out of mind. In the near future, a fluke of quantum mechanics renders Nat Morgan utterly forgettable. No one can remember he exists for more than a minute after he's gone. It's a useful ability for his career as a CIA agent, even if he has to keep reminding his boss that he exists. Nat's attempt to steal a quantum chip prototype is thwarted when a former FSB agent, Yelena Semyonova, attempts to steal the same technology for the Russion mob. Along with a brilliant Iranian physicist who wants to defect, Nat and Yelena must work together to stop a ruthless billionaire from finishing a quantum supercomputer that will literally control the fate of the world...
A fast paced science fiction novel from author James Stone that blends elements of detective noir, futuristic techno-thrills, and classic police state dystopia.Enter a world where efficiency is king and those who can't keep up disappear.A futuristic landscape where a once heralded AI has enslaved and pacified the citizens of its city while underground a group of refugees work together to free their brethren from the surveillance state. Meanwhile the world outside has moved on, with groups of bandits and travellers trying to make their own way in the wastes left behind by the AI's war.Follow along with citizens, police, and the outsiders as they all try to make a living in the city that is always watching.

A tutorial-style introduction to a class of methods for extracting independent signals from a mixture of signals originating from different physical sources; includes MatLab computer code examples. Independent component analysis (ICA) is becoming an increasingly important tool for analyzing large data sets. In essence, ICA separates an observed set of signal mixtures into a set of statistically independent component signals, or source signals. In so doing, this powerful method can extract the relatively small amount of useful information typically found in large data sets. The applications for ICA range from speech processing, brain imaging, and electrical brain signals to telecommunications...
An accessible yet rigorous and generously illustrated exploration of the computational approach to the study of biological vision. Seeing has puzzled scientists and philosophers for centuries and it continues to do so. This new edition of a classic text offers an accessible but rigorous introduction to the computational approach to understanding biological visual systems. The authors of Seeing, taking as their premise David Marr's statement that “to understand vision by studying only neurons is like trying to understand bird flight by studying only feathers,” make use of Marr's three different levels of analysis in the study of vision: the computational level, the algorithmic level, and ...
AN ANCIENT CODE A clay tablet covered in ancient writing is found by an English couple in Morocco. A day later they are dead, killed in a car crash. But where is the relic they died to protect? A SINISTER SECRET Determined to uncover a secret that's endured for two millennia, Chris Bronson follows a trail of clues that lead him from the hustle of a Moroccan souk to the deserted caves of Qumran; from the sinister echoes of a water-filled tunnel under the city of Jerusalem to a windswept fortress whose name spells death. A DEADLY CHASE FOR THE TRUTH ... Threatened on every side by violent extremists, Bronson is plunged into a mystery rooted in biblical times. For the stone he must find is older and far more dangerous than he could ever have imagined ...
What if you had a friend that was always with you? A friend that listens quietly, without judging or criticizing. A friend who is solid, lasting, and shares its deep and ancient wisdom freely. You can have such a friend Little Stone. In this seemingly simple book about a seemingly simple object, James Wanless shows us how we can learn from the most primal and ancient of matter stone. Working with this often under-appreciated element, we learn to be grounded, to be powerful, and how to heal ourselves in order to be whole. Tapping into the qualities of stone integrity, simplicity, and solidity we realize these qualities within ourselves, so that we, like the stones, may sustain ourselves in a natural and creative way of life. These precious gifts from the earth teach us to live wholly, fully, and naturally.
