Drowning in the Dark

My Descent Into Hell and the Long Road Back

By: Daniel C. Friend

As terrifying as any suspense thriller, Drowning in the Dark is the true story of one man who awoke in a mental hospital to discover that his worst nightmare had become his waking reality and that he had lost his career, his family and his friends. Just when it seemed that his life couldn't possibly get any worse, it did, continuing its downward spiral and raising the odds against his survival. Clinging to his deep seated spiritual values, he never gave up hope, and ultimately survived a fourteen year battle with suicidal depression that had nearly caused him to take his own life. This book recounts the truly inspiring story of one man's survival against overwhelming odds and the triumph of the human spirit.

Culture and Customs of Iran

By: Elton L. Daniel,Ali Akbar Mahdi

Iran is often a hotspot in the news, and the Muslim state is usually negatively portrayed in the West. Culture and Customs of Iran rejects facile stereotyping and presents the rich, age-old Persian culture that struggles with pressures of the modern world. This is the first volume in English to reveal the important sociocultural facets of Iran today for a general audience in an objective fashion. Authoritative, substantive narrative chapters cover the gamut of topics, from religion and religious thought to Iranian cuisine and festivals.

Translating Diverse Environmental Data into Reliable Information

How to Coordinate Evidence from Different Sources

By: Daniel A. Vallero

Translating Diverse Environmental Data into Reliable Information: How to Coordinate Evidence from Different Sources is a resource for building environmental knowledge, particularly in the era of Big Data. Environmental scientists, engineers, educators and students will find it essential to determine data needs, assess their quality, and efficiently manage their findings. Decision makers can explore new open access databases and tools, especially portals and dashboards. The book demonstrates how environmental knowledgebases are and can be built to meet the needs of modern students and professionals. Topics covered include concepts and principles that underpin air, water, and other public health and ecological topics. Integrated and systems perspectives are woven throughout, with clues on how to build and apply interdisciplinary data, which can increasingly be obtained from sources ranging from peer-reviewed research appearing in scientific journals to information gathered by citizen scientists. This opens the door to using vast amounts of open data and the necessary quality assurance and metadata considerations for their countless applications. - Provides tools to manage data of varying sizes and quality - Identifies both opportunities and cautions in using "other people's data - Updates physical, chemical and biological factors that must be considered in risk evaluations and life cycle assessments - Applies to data collected by academic, governmental, businesses, and citizen scientists across environmental systems - Improves readers' ability to organize and visualize their work in the age of Big Data

Financial Instrument Pricing Using C++

By: Daniel J. Duffy

An integrated guide to C++ and computational finance This complete guide to C++ and computational finance is a follow-up and major extension to Daniel J. Duffy's 2004 edition of Financial Instrument Pricing Using C++. Both C++ and computational finance have evolved and changed dramatically in the last ten years and this book documents these improvements. Duffy focuses on these developments and the advantages for the quant developer by: Delving into a detailed account of the new C++11 standard and its applicability to computational finance. Using de-facto standard libraries, such as Boost and Eigen to improve developer productivity. Developing multiparadigm software using the object-oriented, generic, and functional programming styles. Designing flexible numerical algorithms: modern numerical methods and multiparadigm design patterns. Providing a detailed explanation of the Finite Difference Methods through six chapters, including new developments such as ADE, Method of Lines (MOL), and Uncertain Volatility Models. Developing applications, from financial model to algorithmic design and code, through a coherent approach. Generating interoperability with Excel add-ins, C#, and C++/CLI. Using random number generation in C++11 and Monte Carlo simulation. Duffy adopted a spiral model approach while writing each chapter of Financial Instrument Pricing Using C++ 2e: analyse a little, design a little, and code a little. Each cycle ends with a working prototype in C++ and shows how a given algorithm or numerical method works. Additionally, each chapter contains non-trivial exercises and projects that discuss improvements and extensions to the material. This book is for designers and application developers in computational finance, and assumes the reader has some fundamental experience of C++ and derivatives pricing. HOW TO RECEIVE THE SOURCE CODE Once you have purchased a copy of the book please send an email to the author dduffyATdatasim.nl requesting your personal and non-transferable copy of the source code.
