The Infinite Evolution - Conversion

By: Erik C. Johnson

A father, raising his thirteen-year-old daughter named Jade, embarks on an unexpected galactic journey in the year 2039. Spencer's day begins like any other, filled with his usual morning routines. However, his life takes a drastic turn when he realizes that all Earthlings are but a tiny part of a much grander existence. Jade seeks solace in the company of an android named Adam, and soon, she encounters an alien race that inadvertently discovers the truth about their own ancestral heritage. Meanwhile, Spencer finds himself captivated by a woman who is quite literally from another world. Overwhelmed by this newfound love, Spencer faces a dilemma: should he pursue these feelings or bury them deep within? As both Spencer and Jade embark on their respective journeys, seeking to understand their roles in the grand tapestry of life, they find themselves in a world no longer their own. Soon, a chain of epic events is set in motion, altering the fate of everything and everyone within the Milky Way.

Stempel and Knutsen on Insurance Coverage

By: Jeffrey W. Stempel,Erik S. Knutsen

Unlike most other books in the field, which slant toward either policyholder or insurer counsel, Stempel and Knutsen on Insurance Coverage takes an even-handed nonexcess and umbrella aking it useful to attorneys from all sides. Moreover, it's designed for practitioners from all professional backgrounds and insurance experience. Written in clear, jargon-free language, it covers everything from the basic insurance concepts, principles, and structure of insurance policies to today's most complex issues and disputes. The authors, Jeffrey W. Stempel and Erik S. Knutsen, are well-known authorities on the law of insurance coverage, and this new Fourth Edition of Stempel and Knutsen on Insurance Coverage is completely up-to-date on every aspect of its subject. This one-stop resource provides both a sound historical, theoretical and doctrinal grounding in insurance, as well being practice-oriented and packed with practical guidance. After providing information about insurance policies and issues in general, it focuses on specific types of policies and coverage such as property coverage, liability coverage, automobile coverage, excess and umbrella coverage, and reinsurance, plus such vital areas as employment, defective construction, and terrorism claims...Dandamp;O liability...ERISA...bad faith litigation...and much more. Plus, you'll find extensive examination of the commercial general liability (CGL) policy, the type of insurance involved in most major coverage cases. Among the most important CGL issues covered in Stempel and Knutsen on Insurance Coverage are: Pollution-related coverage Trigger of coverage Apportionment of insurer and policyholder responsibility Business risk exclusions Coverage under the andquot;personal injuryandquot; section of the CGL Coverage under andquot;advertising injuryandquot; Nowhere else will you find so much valuable current information, in-depth analysis, sharp insight, authoritative commentary, significant case law, and practical guidance on this critically important area. With its clear explanations and thorough, even-handed coverage, Stempel and Knutsen on Insurance Coverage is unlike any other resource in its field.

The Second Battle for Africa

Garveyism, the US Heartland, and Global Black Freedom

By: Erik S. McDuffie

In The Second Battle for Africa, Erik S. McDuffie establishes the importance of the US Midwest to twentieth-century global Black history, internationalism, and radicalism. McDuffie shows how cities like Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland, as well as rural areas in the heartland, became central and enduring incubators of Marcus Garvey’s Black nationalist Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and its offshoots. Throughout the region, Black thinkers, activists, and cultural workers, like the Grenada-born activist Louise Little, championed Black freedom. McDuffie explores Garveyism and its changing facets from the 1920s onward, including the role of Black midwesterners during the emergence of fascism in the 1930s, the postwar US Black Freedom Movement and African decolonization, the rise of the Nation of Islam and Malcolm X in the 1950s and 1960s, and the continuing legacy of Garvey in today’s Black Midwest. Throughout, McDuffie evaluates the possibilities, limitations, and gendered contours of Black nationalism, radicalism, and internationalism in the UNIA and Garvey-inspired movements. In so doing, he unveils new histories of Black liberation and Global Africa.

Strategies and Tactics in Organic Synthesis

Chapter 9. Taking Risks in Complex Synthesis Design

By: Erik J. Sorensen,David A. Siler,Jeffrey D. Mighion

This chapter defines risk-taking in organic synthesis as the deliberate pursuit of strategies that do not have near neighbors in the chemical literature. In these ventures into the unknown, chemical behavior can be difficult to predict. The literature of organic chemistry is replete with examples of powerful, bond-forming strategies that had little or no precedent when they were developed. This essay addresses some of those examples in an effort to demonstrate the merits of creative risk-taking in the planning and execution of organic syntheses.

Translating the Counterculture

Translating the Counterculture

The Reception of the Beats in Turkey

By: Erik Mortenson

In Turkey the Beat message of dissent is being given renewed life as publishers, editors, critics, readers, and others dissatisfied with the conservative social and political trends in the country have turned to the Beats and other countercultural forebears for alternatives. Through an examination of a broad range of literary translations, media portrayals, interviews, and other related materials, this book seeks to uncover how the Beats and their texts are being circulated, discussed, and used in Turkey to rethink the possibilities they might hold for social critique today. Mortenson examines how in Turkey the Beats have been framed by the label “underground literature”; explores the ways they are repurposed in the counterculture-inspired journal Underground Poetix; looks at the reception of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road and how that reaction provides a better understanding of the construction of “American-ness”; delves into the recent obscenity trial of William S. Burroughs’s novel The Soft Machine and the attention the book’s supporters brought to government repression and Turkish homophobia; and analyzes the various translations of Allen Ginsberg’s Howl to demonstrate the relevance Ginsberg still holds for social rebellion today. Translating the Counterculture takes a revolutionary look at how contemporary readers in other parts of the world respond to the Beats. Challenging and unsettling an American-centric understanding of the Beats, Mortenson pushes the discipline toward a fuller consideration of their cultural legacy in a globalized twenty-first century.

TIM PEAKE and BRITAIN'S ROAD TO SPACE

TIM PEAKE and BRITAIN'S ROAD TO SPACE

By: Erik Seedhouse

For centuries the British developed a reputation as a nation of explorers. From Francis Drake’s circumnavigation of the globe to the ascent of Everest, British explorers crossed oceans and continents and ventured where few, if any, had gone before. Until very recently, that legacy of exploration had not extended to space. For decades, successive governments chose to stay out of the human spaceflight programme, but in 2008 there were signs of optimism when ESA selected a new class of six astronauts, including, for the first time, a British representative: Timothy Peake. This book puts the reader in the flight suit of Britain’s first male astronaut. In addition to delving into the life of Tim Peake, this book discusses the learning curves required in astronaut and mission training and the complexity of the technologies required to launch an astronaut and keep them alive for months on end. This book underscores the fact that technology and training, unlike space, do not exist in a vacuum; complex technical systems, like the ISS, interact with the variables of human personality, and the cultural background of the astronauts. But ultimately, this is the story of Tim Peake and the Principia mission and the down-to-the-last-bolt descriptions of life aboard the ISS, by way of the hurdles placed by the British government and the rigors of training at Russia’s Star City military base.

Applications of Linear and Nonlinear Models

Fixed Effects, Random Effects, and Total Least Squares

By: Erik Grafarend,Joseph L. Awange

Here we present a nearly complete treatment of the Grand Universe of linear and weakly nonlinear regression models within the first 8 chapters. Our point of view is both an algebraic view as well as a stochastic one. For example, there is an equivalent lemma between a best, linear uniformly unbiased estimation (BLUUE) in a Gauss-Markov model and a least squares solution (LESS) in a system of linear equations. While BLUUE is a stochastic regression model, LESS is an algebraic solution. In the first six chapters we concentrate on underdetermined and overdeterimined linear systems as well as systems with a datum defect. We review estimators/algebraic solutions of type MINOLESS, BLIMBE, BLUMBE, BLUUE, BIQUE, BLE, BIQUE and Total Least Squares. The highlight is the simultaneous determination of the first moment and the second central moment of a probability distribution in an inhomogeneous multilinear estimation by the so called E-D correspondence as well as its Bayes design. In addition, we discuss continuous networks versus discrete networks, use of Grassmann-Pluecker coordinates, criterion matrices of type Taylor-Karman as well as FUZZY sets. Chapter seven is a speciality in the treatment of an overdetermined system of nonlinear equations on curved manifolds. The von Mises-Fisher distribution is characteristic for circular or (hyper) spherical data. Our last chapter eight is devoted to probabilistic regression, the special Gauss-Markov model with random effects leading to estimators of type BLIP and VIP including Bayesian estimation. A great part of the work is presented in four Appendices. Appendix A is a treatment, of tensor algebra, namely linear algebra, matrix algebra and multilinear algebra. Appendix B is devoted to sampling distributions and their use in terms of confidence intervals and confidence regions. Appendix C reviews the elementary notions of statistics, namely random events and stochastic processes. Appendix D introduces the basics of Groebner basis algebra, its careful definition, the Buchberger Algorithm, especially the C. F. Gauss combinatorial algorithm.

Programming with VisiBroker

By: Doug Pedrick,Jonathan Weedon,Jon Goldberg,Erik Bleifield

The authoritative Java developer's guide to designing better distributed object systems and implementing them faster-using VisiBroker Coauthored by the lead architect for the VisiBroker Java ORB, this is the authoritative guide to programming with VisiBroker for Java. Designed to help Java developers quickly master the skills they need to develop more powerful and sophisticated distributed, object-oriented, client/server systems from scratch or by combining existing components, it covers all the crucial bases in the life cycle of a VisiBroker implementation, including: * Analysis and design of distributed object systems * Basic and advanced VisiBroker for Java implementations * Performance considerations and fine-tuning * The approved OMG IDL to Java mapping * VisiBroker interfaces to legacy relational databases using JDBC. The dream of distributed, object-oriented, client/server systems that are both location- and language-transparent is at last a reality. In great part, this is due to the growing worldwide acceptance of CORBA as the architectural standard of choice. This book brings together the most popular implementation of the CORBA standard, VisiBroker, and Java, the most popular language for Internet programming. The CD-ROM contains: * VisiBroker for Java 3.1 * VisiBroker Naming and Event Services * Complete code for all the examples from the book.
