As big data becomes more ubiquitous, businesses are wondering how they can best leverage it to gain insight into their most important business questions. Using machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) in big data environments can identify historical patterns and build artificial intelligence (AI) models that can help businesses to improve customer experience, add services and offerings, identify new revenue streams or lines of business (LOBs), and optimize business or manufacturing operations. The power of AI for predictive analytics is being harnessed across all industries, so it is important that businesses familiarize themselves with all of the tools and techniques that are available for integration with their data lake environments. In this IBM® Redbooks® publication, we cover the best practices for deploying and integrating some of the best AI solutions on the market, including: IBM Watson Machine Learning Accelerator (see note for product naming) IBM Watson Studio Local IBM Power SystemsTM IBM SpectrumTM Scale IBM Data Science Experience (IBM DSX) IBM Elastic StorageTM Server Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) Hortonworks DataFlow (HDF) H2O Driverless AI We map out all the integrations that are possible with our different AI solutions and how they can integrate with your existing or new data lake. We also walk you through some of our client use cases and show you how some of the industry leaders are using Hortonworks, IBM PowerAI, and IBM Watson Studio Local to drive decision making. We also advise you on your deployment options, when to use a GPU, and why you should use the IBM Elastic Storage Server (IBM ESS) to improve storage management. Lastly, we describe how to integrate IBM Watson Machine Learning Accelerator and Hortonworks with or without IBM Watson Studio Local, how to access real-time data, and security. Note: IBM Watson Machine Learning Accelerator is the new product name for IBM PowerAI Enterprise. Note: Hortonworks merged with Cloudera in January 2019. The new company is called Cloudera. References to Hortonworks as a business entity in this publication are now referring to the merged company. Product names beginning with Hortonworks continue to be marketed and sold under their original names.

This is an engineering book. However, it is a kind of engineering that is not well known by the general public: namely Applied Petroleum Engineering. It reflects our expertise in offshore well construction and the advanced know-how we achieved in Brazil, a long time before the euphoria caused by the discovery of the famous Pre-Salt reserves in 2005. We talk about the professionals who, for the most part, work on offshore drilling rigs, internationally known as Company Men. The Company Man’s work is unique, exciting and very important, especially when we see Brazilian creativity strongly contributing to the implementation of various achievements. It is not enough to be the “almighty” specialist of multinational companies when on board, the true light, the guiding light of the crew - for having a much more holistic knowledge of the activities in progress - but also to act with the humility of those who know that they will influence and motivate teams and establish with certainty that all their members are of fundamental importance for carrying out operations and achieving the well construction goals safely. The purpose of this book is to introduce to the new generations of engineers a brief idea of the fascinating world of Company Men, covering their daily lives on board and detailing several operations, equipment, and technical terms with which they must be familiar. In addition to many descriptions throughout the text, a Glossary is provided to define some terms in greater detail. We hope to captivate these young people and encourage them to continue a tradition: Brazil today is one of the most important players in the worldwide offshore industry, and holds its place at the knowledge frontline, not only due to its widely diversified operational scenarios but also, in large part, due to the technological and procedural solutions developed by Brazilians. Have a good journey offshore!
This “heartbreaking biography” of the Communist revolutionary “is filled with high drama,” daring escapes, and eventual imprisonment in Nazi Germany (Publishers Weekly). A German-born Jew, Olga Benario was one of the most remarkable Communist activists of the twentieth century. With a genius for organization and an unwavering devotion, she crisscrossed the globe educating and activating legions to combat the worldwide plagues of Nazism and fascism. At the age of nineteen, she masterminded a daring prison raid to free her lover, the Communist intellectual Otto Braun. Together they escaped to Moscow, where they quickly rose in the ranks of the international Communist movement. At twenty-six, Benario was chosen to serve as bodyguard to the legendary Brazilian guerrilla leader Luis Carlos Prestes, who had been brought to Moscow for training and would soon become her new lover. Traveling under assumed names, they crossed Europe and North America to reach Brazil, where Prestes would launch a revolution against the fascist regime. But tragically, within months, they were seized by police. From Brazil, Olga, then seven months pregnant, was deported to Nazi Germany. She was subsequently sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp, and in February 1942 she was sent to her death in the gas chambers at Bernburg.
For more than fifty years, the revolutionary experience in Cuba was the stage for such re markable personalities as Che Guevara and for dramatic events like the missile crisis. All these 20th century historic icons are interwoven with the deep internal restructuring of the Cuban economy and society, and the related challenge to the United States' prior unopposed hegemony over Latin America. The complexities of these elements should not be dismissed, for, in them selves, they are an explanation for the passions and interpretative battles that are evoked still today by this Caribbean revolution.
Some of the most compelling theoretical debates in the humanities today center on representations of sexuality. This volume is the first to focus on the topic -- in particular, the connections between nationhood, sex, and gender -- in the Lusophone, or Portuguese-speaking, world. Written by prominent scholars in Brazilian, Portuguese, and Lusophone African literary and cultural studies, the essays range across multiple discourses and cultural expressions, historical periods and theoretical approaches to offer a uniquely comprehensive perspective on the issues of sex and sexuality in the literature and culture of the Portuguese-speaking world that extends from Portugal to Brazil to Angola, Cape Verde, and Mozambique. Through the critical lenses of gay and lesbian studies, queer theory, postcolonial studies, feminist theory, and postmodern theory, the authors consider the work of such influential literary figures as Clarice Lispector and Silviano Santiago. An important aspect of the volume is the publication of a newly discovered-and explicitly homoerotic -- poem by Fernando Pessoa, published here for the first time in the original Portuguese and in English translation. Chapters take up questions of queer performativity and activism, female subjectivity and erotic desire, the sexual customs of indigenous versus European Brazilians, and the impact of popular music (as represented by Caetano Veloso and others) on interpretations of gender and sexuality. Challenging static notions of sexualities within the Portuguese-speaking world, these essays expand our understanding of the multiplicity of differences and marginalized subjectivities that fall under the intersections of sexuality,gender, and race.
Análise de Dados de uma Avaliação Nacional de Desempenho Educacional é o quarto de cinco volumes da série Avaliações Nacionais de Desempenho Educacional. Os outros volumes descreveram os procedimentos em uma avaliação até ao ponto em que os dados foram preparados para a análise estatística, o tópico deste volume. As análises concretas a ser realizadas dependerão das necessidades de informação dos formuladores de políticas e dos gestores no âmbito do ensino. Na maioria das avaliações nacionais, relacionam-se com a qualidade da aprendizagem dos alunos, fatores relacionados com a aprendizagem, questões de equidade, e, em alguns casos, alterações nos resultados educacionais ao longo do tempo. O Volume 4, que compreende duas partes, fornece instruções pormenorizadas acerca de como analisar dados coligidos em uma avaliação nacional. A Parte I prevê uma introdução geral à s análises estatísticas normalmente realizadas nas avaliações em grande escala, avaliando a tendência central e a dispersão das pontuações dos alunos e as relações entre as variáveis. A Parte II descreve o software IATA (Análise de Item e de Teste), que utiliza a teoria clássica dos testes e a teoria de resposta ao item para estabelecer escalas onde reportar as pontuações dos alunos. Os passos da análise das administrações de testes piloto e finais estão descritos detalhadamente. É acompanhado por um CD que contém exercícios especialmente concebidos e arquivos de dados de suporte para ambas as partes do volume. Este livro será de interesse para os especialistas em avaliação de governos nacionais, regionais e locais; instituições de investigação; e universidades.
O DRAMA ÉPICO DO NASCIMENTO E MORTE DE UM DOS MAIORES PERSONAGENS DA HISTÓRIA DA MÚSICA David Bowie: a construção de Ziggy Stardust desvenda todas as influências que trouxeram Ziggy Stardust à vida. O livro mais importante já escrito sobre a persona que Bowie incorporou por um ano, documentando o drama épico da passagem curta e memorável do Starman por nosso planeta, e explicando por que Bowie teve que o matar. Foi a maior invenção na história da música pop — o deus do rock que veio das estrelas, uma ideia que atingiu o jovem David Bowie como um raio. O brilhante alienígena chamado Ziggy foi uma figura revolucionária, por muitas razões. Como ele mesmo se descreveria: "Parcialmente enigmático. Parcialmente fóssil". Quando o alienígena glam pousou na Terra, Bowie transformou-se na superestrela que mudaria a música para sempre. Ele era o kabukimono. Ele era a "Ode à Alegria" de Beethoven. A invasão marciana de H. G. Wells. A sinfonia cósmica de Gustav Holst. O semblante de Greta Garbo no século 20. O relâmpago num panfleto dos camisas-pretas. O rock de Elvis Presley e o roll de Little Richard. O objeto não identificado piscando no radar da Força Aérea. O buraco escavado pelo Professor Quartermass. Ele era a loucura de Vince Taylor. A superfície de Andy Warhol e a alma do Velvet Underground. O mistério solitário de Moondog. The Legendary Stardust Cowboy. Ele era Iggy Pop. Era tão esquisito quanto uma laranja mecânica. Ele era todas essas coisas, combinadas em uma criatura fabulosa. Esse ser chamado Ziggy Stardust.
Numa simbiose entre leitura, literacia, sociedade de informação, bibliotecas e mediadores assim nasceram os textos reunidos neste volume que, experienciados em realidades geográficas distintas, oferecem uma visão atual, ampla e alargada no espaço e no tempo, testemunhando o crescimento cultural dos contextos onde se inserem. Verdadeiras balizas de desenvolvimento e crescimento dos leitores, os textos apresentados sobre leitura e bibliotecas expressam quer a mensagem do Manifesto IFLA UNESCO sobre bibliotecas públicas, quer o desenvolvimento do projeto das BECRES nas escolas que as acolhem. Da generalidade dos textos emerge a crença na complexidade do mundo da literacia que, por assumir contornos de constante imperfeição, à medida que a sociedade se transforma, exige das bibliotecas e dos mediadores a responsabilidade de, através de parcerias e permanente atualização, ajudarem na formação de cidadãos ativos e interventivos e, em simultâneo, no desenvolvimento cultural do país.
