Listen up, people, because we've got a problem here. It's time to get really worried, and by that I mean majorly concerned, about Kyle Parker. He used to be a cool guy. Okay, not the smartest kid at school or the best-looking, but he could always hold his own. Until recently. Until he failed to notice that Lucinda (who, btw, is really hot) has been following him around for weeks. Or that a volleyball was coming straight for his face during gym. But can you blame him at a time like this?In case you haven't heard (and if you haven't, you must be living in a cave), Kyle's mom kicked his dad out of the house. Why? Because of a book. Kyle's dad's book. The one he's been writing and can't get published. Which means he can't make any money. Which means he can't support his family. So it's the big D. Divorce. Unless Kyle can pull a fast one and fake out the most famous editor in New York City.How?By going undercover. Secret. Top secret. As in no one else can know! That's right. Kyle Parker is about to become his dad's secret agent. So pay attention, guys, because he's going to need all the help he can get.
This book describes the fundamental concepts underlying radiation-induced failure mechanisms in electronic components operating in harsh environments, such as in space missions or in particle accelerators. In addition to providing an extensive overview of the dynamics and composition of different radiation environments, the authors discuss the failure mechanisms, known as single-event effects (SEEs), and dedicated failure modeling and prediction methodologies. Additionally, novel radiation-hardening-by-design (RHBD) techniques at physical layout and circuit levels are described. Readers who are newcomers to this field will learn the fundamental concepts of particle interaction physics and el...
Another in Hauser's annual collections of articles on boxing, bringing readers into the dressing room with elite champions in the moments before some of 2012's biggest fights, exploring the use of performance-enhancing drugs, and looking back in time at the incomparable Archie Moore.
An illustrated history of Loredo, Texas, paired with histories of the local companies.
The postrevolutionary reconstruction of the Mexican government did not easily or immediately reach all corners of the country. At every level, political intermediaries negotiated, resisted, appropriated, or ignored the dictates of the central government. National policy reverberated through Mexico s local and political networks in countless different ways and resulted in a myriad of regional arrangements. It is this process of diffusion, politicking, and conflict that Benjamin T. Smith examines in Pistoleros and Popular Movements. Oaxaca s urban social movements and the tension between federal, state, and local governments illuminate the multivalent contradictions, fragmentations, and crises...
The Dinner at Gonfarone’s covers five years in the life of the Nicaraguan poet, Salomón de la Selva, but it also offers a picture of Hispanic New York in the years around the First World War. De la Selva is the forerunner of Latino writers like Junot Díaz and Julia Álvarez.
Although many books have been written about Mathematica, very few of them cover the new functionality added to the most recent versions of the program. This thoroughly revised second edition of Mathematica Beyond Mathematics: The Wolfram Language in the Real World introduces the new features using real-world examples based on the experience of the author as a consultant and Wolfram certified instructor. The examples strike a balance between relevance and difficulty in terms of Mathematica syntax, allowing readers to incrementally build up their Mathematica skills as they go through the chapters While reading this book, you will also learn more about the Wolfram Language and how to use it to ...
