Nine psychics have come together to form a group of individuals with similar traits. Fleeing China aboard a stolen jet, they have eluded their military pursuers and now search for a home - a secluded place to live out their life away from the rest of humanity. Yet even as they leave China behind, the group cannot decide which direction to fly. "We must establish a base if we are to survive," the group's founder Michael Tyler insists. However, no one can agree on a single vision. Each psychic has his or her own idealistic version of a utopian society they would build. Each psychic is full of unanswered questions. Where should they start this psychic town? Will their special power give them en...
A crime baffles the Australian police a young woman washed ashore with unexplainable injuries as a cause for death. Her birth certificate lists Rollo, Kansas a town that no longer exists as her place of origin. Well? the head of security asks. What do you think we should do? Only one conclusion to draw, Han commented after they reviewed the report. Dont you agree? Master Li feared Hans overwhelming logical conclusion, one that threatens to bring down the newly formed World Psychic Organization a rogue. and not just any rogue, Han continued when Li did not respond, a serial killer with advanced psychic ability. Since he has evaded Master Lis detection, who knows where or when he will strike n...
The Author of the highly acclaimed novel, SECRET VALOR, has struck again with another page turning political thriller that races along like the mighty Yangtze River, which inspired it. THE YANGTZE ILLUSION is a masterpiece of conflict, suspense and drama. Like the great river, this novel carries the reader on a perilous journey from the high mountains of the Tibetan Plateau to the South China Sea, and along the turbulent and violent journey the author hints at some of the world's most guarded secrets.
During the past few years there has been an dramatic upsurge in research and development, implementations of new technologies, and deployments of actual solutions and technologies in the diverse application areas of embedded systems. These areas include automotive electronics, industrial automated systems, and building automation and control. Comprising 48 chapters and the contributions of 74 leading experts from industry and academia, the Embedded Systems Handbook, Second Edition presents a comprehensive view of embedded systems: their design, verification, networking, and applications. The contributors, directly involved in the creation and evolution of the ideas and technologies presented...
Due to numerous biomedical information sensing devices, such as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging, Ultrasound, Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), to Magnetic Particle Imaging, EE/MEG, Optical Microscopy and Tomography, Photoacoustic Tomography, Electron Tomography, and Atomic Force Microscopy, etc. a large amount of biomedical information was gathered these years. However, identifying how to develop new advanced imaging methods and computational models for efficient data processing, analysis and modelling from the collected data is important for clinical applications and to understand the underlying biological processes. Deep learning approaches have been rapidly developed in recent years, both in terms of methodologies and practical applications. Deep learning techniques provide computational models of multiple processing layers to learn and represent data with multiple levels of abstraction. Deep Learning allows to implicitly capture intricate structures of large-scale data and ideally suited to some of the hardware architectures that are currently available.
Computers as Components, Second Edition, updates the first book to bring essential knowledge on embedded systems technology and techniques under a single cover. This edition has been updated to the state-of-the-art by reworking and expanding performance analysis with more examples and exercises, and coverage of electronic systems now focuses on the latest applications. It gives a more comprehensive view of multiprocessors including VLIW and superscalar architectures as well as more detail about power consumption. There is also more advanced treatment of all the components of the system as well as in-depth coverage of networks, reconfigurable systems, hardware-software co-design, security, an...
This title serves as an introduction ans reference for the field, with the papers that have shaped the hardware/software co-design since its inception in the early 90s.
Chemistry plays a key role in conquering diseases, solving energy problems, addressing environmental problems, providing the discoveries that lead to new industries, and developing new materials and technologies for national defense and homeland security. However, the field is currently facing a crucial time of change and is struggling to position itself to meet the needs of the future as it expands beyond its traditional core toward areas related to biology, materials science, and nanotechnology. At the request of the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Research Council conducted an in-depth benchmarking analysis to gauge the current standing of the U.S. chemistry field in the world. The Future of U.S. Chemistry Research: Benchmarks and Challenges highlights the main findings of the benchmarking exercise.
