The Recall's Broken Promise
Fed up with business as usual, Californians recalled Governor Gray Davis in 2003 and replaced him with a celebrity who pledged to clean up government. The Recall's Broken Promise details how Arnold Schwarzenegger then shattered political fundraising records, attacked campaign finance laws, crossed ethical boundaries, and how politicians of both parties have killed needed reforms.

Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing
This four volume set LNCS 9528, 9529, 9530 and 9531 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing, ICA3PP 2015, held in Zhangjiajie, China, in November 2015. The 219 revised full papers presented together with 77 workshop papers in these four volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from 807 submissions (602 full papers and 205 workshop papers). The first volume comprises the following topics: parallel and distributed architectures; distributed and network-based computing and internet of things and cyber-physical-social computing. The second volume comprises topics such as big data and its applications and parallel and distributed algorithms. The topics of the third volume are: applications of parallel and distributed computing and service dependability and security in distributed and parallel systems. The covered topics of the fourth volume are: software systems and programming models and performance modeling and evaluation.
Data Science for Public Policy
This textbook presents the essential tools and core concepts of data science to public officials, policy analysts, and economists among others in order to further their application in the public sector. An expansion of the quantitative economics frameworks presented in policy and business schools, this book emphasizes the process of asking relevant questions to inform public policy. Its techniques and approaches emphasize data-driven practices, beginning with the basic programming paradigms that occupy the majority of an analyst’s time and advancing to the practical applications of statistical learning and machine learning. The text considers two divergent, competing perspectives to support its applications, incorporating techniques from both causal inference and prediction. Additionally, the book includes open-sourced data as well as live code, written in R and presented in notebook form, which readers can use and modify to practice working with data.
Polyploid and Hybrid Genomics
Polyploidy plays an important role in biological diversity, trait improvement, and plant species survival. Understanding the evolutionary phenomenon of polyploidy is a key challenge for plant and crop scientists. This book is made up of contributions from leading researchers in the field from around the world, providing a truly global review of the subject. Providing broad-ranging coverage, and up-to-date information from some of the world’s leading researchers, this book is an invaluable resource for geneticists, plant and crop scientists, and evolutionary biologists.
Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing
This two volume set LNCS 8285 and 8286 constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for Parallel Processing , ICA3PP 2013, held in Vietri sul Mare, Italy in December 2013. The first volume contains 10 distinguished and 31 regular papers selected from 90 submissions and covering topics such as big data, multi-core programming and software tools, distributed scheduling and load balancing, high-performance scientific computing, parallel algorithms, parallel architectures, scalable and distributed databases, dependability in distributed and parallel systems, wireless and mobile computing. The second volume consists of four sections including 35 papers from one symposium and three workshops held in conjunction with ICA3PP 2013 main conference. These are 13 papers from the 2013 International Symposium on Advances of Distributed and Parallel Computing (ADPC 2013), 5 papers of the International Workshop on Big Data Computing (BDC 2013), 10 papers of the International Workshop on Trusted Information in Big Data (TIBiDa 2013) as well as 7 papers belonging to Workshop on Cloud-assisted Smart Cyber-Physical Systems (C-Smart CPS 2013).
Plant Physiology
The field of plant physiology includes the study of all chemical and physical processes of plants, from the molecular-level interactions of photosynthesis and the diffusion of water, minerals, and nutrients within the plant, to the larger-scale processes of plant growth, dormancy and reproduction. This new book covers a broad array of topics within the field. Plant Physiology focuses on the study of the internal activities of plants, including research into the molecular interactions of photosynthesis and the internal diffusion of water, minerals, and nutrients. Also included are investigations into the processes of plant development, seasonality, dormancy, and reproductive control. The chap...
Embedded Computer Systems: Architectures, Modeling, and Simulation
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 22st International Conference on Embedded Computer Systems: Architectures, Modeling, and Simulation, SAMOS 2021, which took place in July 2022 in Samos, Greece. The 11 full papers and 7 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The conference covers a wide range of embedded systems design aspects, including machine learning accelerators, and power management and programmable dataflow systems.
Speak Without Words
How can you stand up for yourself if you can’t say your own name? New high school, same old taunts. Once again branded “C-c-claire,” volleyball-obsessed Claire vows to skip the small talk and prove herself on the court, but when she and her teammates-turned-friends each face their own trials, silence is not an option. Beth Jones’s hot new boyfriend adds much-needed spice to her life as a sibling chauffeur, but becoming “Jeff’s girl” might mean renouncing her friends. At six-foot-six, Maite Restrepo can punch out whatever she can’t laugh off, but her fists can’t heal her abuela’s mystery illness. Everyone says Saafi Khalif will be America’s first Muslim president, but does she have the courage to confront the guys who threatened her student group? Claire and her friends define team with the word family, but at home, Claire’s family is falling apart. When her bitter aunt threatens eviction and tragedy sparks another family feud, can Claire speak up for herself? Told in four parts, Speak Without Words may be read by itself or as Book 1 in the Healing Bonds series.
