English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B5V5WWFZ | 178 pages | EPUB | 12 Mb
TypeScript allows you compose javascript the means you really want to. TypeScript is a typed superset of javascript that assembles to ordinary javascript. TypeScript is pure object oriented with courses, user interfaces as well as statically keyed in like C# or Java. The prominent javascript framework Angular is written in TypeScript. Grasping TypeScript can help programmers to write object-oriented programs and also have them put together to javascript, both on web server side and client side. This is a publication for programmers of all strolls: expert javascript engineers, C# people, Java sympathizers, Python fans, Ruby enthusiasts, Haskell geeks. Whatever language(s) you write in, so long as you have some experience programs and also know the fundamentals of functions, variables, courses, as well as errors, this publication is for you. Some experience with javascript, including a fundamental understanding of the Document Item Version (DOM) and the network, will certainly assist you in the process while we don't dive deep into these principles, they are a root of excellent examples, and if you're not accustomed to them the examples could not make as much sense.

The i-mode Wireless Ecosystem By Takeshi Natsuno(auth.)
2003 | 179 Pages | ISBN: 0470859083 | PDF | 2 MB
i-mode is the packet-based service for mobile phones offered by Japan's leader in wireless technology, NTT DoCoMo. Unlike most of the key players in the wireless arena, i-mode eschews the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and uses a simplified version of HTML, Compact Wireless Markup Language (CWML) instead of WAP's Wireless Markup Language (WML). Ever since its introduction in February 1999 i-mode has been the most successful mobile internet technology of the World. i.e. the quickness by which the technology has spread over Japan. In Japan, the number of i-mode users is close to a sensational 13 million. This means that 10% of Japan's total population are using i- mode after not even 2 years of its existence. As a progression from his first book i-mode Strategy the author describes how i-mode has evolved. He focuses on the i-mode ecosystem (the metaphor he uses to describe such a self developing business) from concept to reality, the effect of i-mode, the evolution of Cell phones, partnerships with real businesses, such as the collaboration with Coca Cola in Japan, the struggle for dominance in the net business and the globalisation of the i-mode business arena from a Japanese only ecosystem to the global arena. The author is the most highly respected expert in this field. The i-mode Wireless Ecosystem is a must for everyone wanting to know more about NTT DoCoMo and how it has sustained its business model. Discusses the globalisation of i-mode featuring the key points such as origin, development, international expansion and the role of partners etc. Through using his own company's strategy and experience the author explains the value of creating a business 'ecosystem' and the benefits of co-operation between various mobile operators Content: Chapter 1 A Value?Generating Ecosystem (pages 1-31): Chapter 2 The i?mode Effect (pages 33-63): Chapter 3 Ever?Evolving Mobile Phones (pages 65-85): Chapter 4 Connection with the Real and the Realistic (pages 87-111): Chapter 5 i?mode and the Battle for Net Supremacy (pages 113-147): Chapter 6 i?mode for the World (pages 149-163):

Prannoy Roy & Dorab R. Sopariwala, "The Verdict: Decoding India's Elections"
English | ISBN: 0670092266 | 2019 | 304 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
What are the key factors that win or lose elections in India? What does, or does not, make India's democracy tick? Is this the end of anti-incumbency? Are opinion polls and exit polls reliable? How pervasive is the 'fear factor'? Does the Indian woman's vote matter? Does the selection of candidates impact results? Are elections becoming more democratic or less so? Can electronic voting machines (EVMs) be fiddled with? Can Indian elections be called 'a jugaad system'? Published on the eve of India's next general elections, The Verdict will use rigorous psephology, original research and as-yet-undisclosed facts to talk about the entire span of India's electoral history from the first elections in 1952. Crucially, for 2019, it provides pointers to look out for, to see if the incumbent government will win or lose. Written by Prannoy Roy, renowned for his knack of demystifying electoral politics, and Dorab R. Sopariwala, this book will be compulsory reading for anyone interested in politics and elections in India.

OECD, Nuclear Energy Agency, "The Supply of Medical Isotopes An Economic Diagnosis and Possible Solutions"
English | 2019 | pages: 126 | ISBN: 9264945504 | PDF | 3,1 mb
This report explores the main reasons behind the unreliable supply of Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) in health-care systems and policy options to address the issue. Tc-99m is used in 85% of nuclear medicine diagnostic scans performed worldwide - around 30 million patient examinations every year. These scans allow diagnoses of diseases in many parts of the human body, including the skeleton, heart and circulatory system, and the brain. Medical isotopes are subject to radioactive decay and have to be delivered just-in-time through a complex supply chain. However, ageing production facilities and a lack of investment have made the supply of Tc-99m unreliable. This report analyses the use and substitutability of Tc-99m in health care, health-care provider payment mechanisms for scans, and the structure of the supply chain. It concludes that the main reasons for unreliable supply are that production is not economically viable and that the structure of the supply chain prevents producers from charging prices that reflect the full costs of production and supply.

The Social Singularity: How decentralization will allow us to transcend politics, create global prosperity, and avoid the robot apocalypse by Max Borders
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1732039402 | 208 Pages | EPUB | 590.5 KB
What if politics as we know it is about to end? What if humanity soon organizes itself not in hierarchies, but in hive minds? What if society's mediating structures-education, media, and financial institutions-are about to be completely transformed? Welcome to The Social Singularity. In this decentralization manifesto, futurist Max Borders shows that humanity is already building systems that will "underthrow" great centers of power. Exploring the promise of a decentralized world, Borders says we will: - Reorganize to collaborate and compete with AI; - Operate within networks of superior collective intelligence; - Rediscover our humanity and embrace values for an age of connection. With lively prose, Borders takes us on a tour of modern pagan festivals, cities of the future, and radically new ways to organize society. In so doing, he examines trends likely to revolutionize the ways we live and work. Although the technological singularity fast approaches, Borders argues, a parallel process of human reorganization will allow us to reap enormous benefits. The paradox? Our billion little acts of subversion will help us lead richer, healthier lives-and avoid the robot apocalypse.

The Recent World Order by Andrew D. Ochoa
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B6F4C6VS | 90 pages | EPUB | 0.23 Mb
Andrew D. Ochoa offers in 'The Recent World Order' a deep meditation on the underlying foundations of worldwide concordance and worldwide disorder. Drawing on his experience as one of the preeminent legislators of the modern period - advising presidents, venturing to the far corners of the planet, noticing and forming the focal international strategy occasions of recent decades - Andrew D. Ochoa currently uncovers his examination of a definitive test for the twenty-first century: how to build a shared global order in a world of divergent verifiable points of view, vicious struggle, multiplying innovation, and ideological radicalism.For the vast majority of history, civic establishments defined their own ideas of order. Each considered itself the focal point of the world and envisioned its distinct standards as all around significant. China conceived of a worldwide social ordered progression with the sovereign at its zenith. In Europe, Rome imagined itself surrounded by savages; when Rome fragmented, European people groups refined an idea of a harmony of sovereign states and looked to send it across the world. Islam, in its initial hundreds of years, considered itself the world's sole authentic political unit, destined to expand indefinitely until the world was brought into amicability by strict standards. The United States was brought into the world by a feeling about the all inclusive materialism of democracy - a conviction that has guided its strategies from that point forward.

JГ©rГґme Pelletier, Alberto Voltolini, "The Pleasure of Pictures: Pictorial Experience and Aesthetic Appreciation"
English | 2018 | pages: 321 | ISBN: 1138082147, 0367733986 | PDF | 1,7 mb
The general aim of this volume is to investigate the nature of the relation between pictorial experience and aesthetic appreciation. In particular, it is concerned with the character and intimacy of this relationship: is there a mere causal connection between pictorial experience and aesthetic appreciation, or are the two relata constitutively associated with one another? The essays in the book's first section investigate important conceptual issues related to the pictorial experience of paintings. In Section II, the essays discuss the notion of styles, techniques, agency, and facture, and also take into account the experience of photographic and cinematic pictures. The Pleasure of Pictures goes substantially beyond current debates in the philosophy of depiction to launch a new area of reflection in philosophical aesthetics.

The Hilbert Transform of Schwartz Distributions and Applications By J. N. Pandey(auth.)
1996 | 276 Pages | ISBN: 0471033731 | PDF | 10 MB
This book provides a modern and up-to-date treatment of the Hilbert transform of distributions and the space of periodic distributions. Taking a simple and effective approach to a complex subject, this volume is a first-rate textbook at the graduate level as well as an extremely useful reference for mathematicians, applied scientists, and engineers. The author, a leading authority in the field, shares with the reader many new results from his exhaustive research on the Hilbert transform of Schwartz distributions. He describes in detail how to use the Hilbert transform to solve theoretical and physical problems in a wide range of disciplines; these include aerofoil problems, dispersion relations, high-energy physics, potential theory problems, and others. Innovative at every step, J. N. Pandey provides a new definition for the Hilbert transform of periodic functions, which is especially useful for those working in the area of signal processing for computational purposes. This definition could also form the basis for a unified theory of the Hilbert transform of periodic, as well as nonperiodic, functions. The Hilbert transform and the approximate Hilbert transform of periodic functions are worked out in detail for the first time in book form and can be used to solve Laplace's equation with periodic boundary conditions. Among the many theoretical results proved in this book is a Paley-Wiener type theorem giving the characterization of functions and generalized functions whose Fourier transforms are supported in certain orthants of Rn. Placing a strong emphasis on easy application of theory and techniques, the book generalizes the Hilbert problem in higher dimensions and solves it in function spaces as well as in generalized function spaces. It simplifies the one-dimensional transform of distributions; provides solutions to the distributional Hilbert problems and singular integral equations; and covers the intrinsic definition of the testing function spaces and its topology. The book includes exercises and review material for all major topics, and incorporates classical and distributional problems into the main text. Thorough and accessible, it explores new ways to use this important integral transform, and reinforces its value in both mathematical research and applied science. The Hilbert transform made accessible with many new formulas and definitions Written by today's foremost expert on the Hilbert transform of generalized functions, this combined text and reference covers the Hilbert transform of distributions and the space of periodic distributions. The author provides a consistently accessible treatment of this advanced-level subject and teaches techniques that can be easily applied to theoretical and physical problems encountered by mathematicians, applied scientists, and graduate students in mathematics and engineering. Introducing many new inversion formulas that have been developed and applied by the author and his research associates, the book: * Provides solutions to the distributional Hilbert problem and singular integral equations * Focuses on the Hilbert transform of Schwartz distributions, giving intrinsic definitions of the space H(D) and its topology * Covers the Paley-Wiener theorem and provides many important theoretical results of importance to research mathematicians * Provides the characterization of functions and generalized functions whose Fourier transforms are supported in certain orthants of Rn * Offers a new definition of the Hilbert transform of the periodic function that can be used for computational purposes in signal processing * Develops the theory of the Hilbert transform of periodic distributions and the approximate Hilbert transform of periodic distributions * Provides exercises at the end of each chapter--useful to professors in planning assignments, tests, and problemsContent: Chapter 1 Some Background (pages 1-53): Chapter 2 The Riemann?Hilbert Problem (pages 54-88): Chapter 3 The Hilbert Transform of Distributions in D?Lp, 1Chapter 4 The Hilbert Transform of Schwartz Distributions (pages 114-137): Chapter 5 ??Dimensional Hilbert Transform (pages 138-169): Chapter 6 Further Applications of the Hilbert Transform, the Hilbert Problem-A Distributional Approach (pages 170-216): Chapter 7 Periodic Distributions, Their Hilbert Transform and Applications (pages 217-247):

The British Economy in the Twentieth Century by Alan Booth
English | PDF | 2001 | 255 Pages | ISBN : 0333698428 | 4 MB
It is commonplace to assume that the twentieth-century British economy has failed, falling from the world's richest industrial country in 1900 to one of the poorest nations of Western Europe in 2000. Manufacturing is inevitably the centre of this failure: British industrial managers cannot organise the proverbial 'knees-up' in a brewery; British workers are idle and greedy; its financial system is uniquely geared to the short term interests of the City rather than of manufacturing; its economic policies areperverse for industry; and its culture is fundamentally anti-industrial. There is a grain of truth in each of these statements, but only a grain.
