Procedural Content Generation in Games

By: Noor Shaker,Julian Togelius,Mark J. Nelson

This book presents the most up-to-date coverage of procedural content generation (PCG) for games, specifically the procedural generation of levels, landscapes, items, rules, quests, or other types of content. Each chapter explains an algorithm type or domain, including fractal methods, grammar-based methods, search-based and evolutionary methods, constraint-based methods, and narrative, terrain, and dungeon generation. The authors are active academic researchers and game developers, and the book is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students of courses on games and creativity; game developers who want to learn new methods for content generation; and researchers in related areas of artificial intelligence and computational intelligence.

Alpha-1-antitrypsin Deficiency

Biology, Diagnosis, Clinical Significance, and Emerging Therapies

By: Noor Kalsheker,Robert Andrew Stockley

Alpha-1-antitrypsin Deficiency: Biology, Diagnosis, Clinical Significance, and Emerging Therapies is the authoritative reference on AATD, providing standards for diagnosis, monitoring, treatment and appropriate avenues of research. The book covers the disease from basic biology and epidemiology, to clinical impact, and includes the understanding of the natural history of the disease and the significant advances that have been made in the last 20 years, including the three-dimensional structure of the molecule, its broad biological activity and improved therapeutic options, including replacement therapy and gene therapy. The editors have recruited international experts in the field to contribute evidence-based chapters and insights on future developments in the understanding of this disease. - Provides documentation of the variations in clinical presentation and pathology in a single reference - Presents new insights by pulling together the advances in the understanding of the structure and function of alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency with the genetic variants that cause the disease - Allows for easy reference for the diagnosis of AATD to lead to better therapeutics

THE GODs

By: Rozlan Mohd Noor

In the run-up to the Malaysian General Elections, the Board felt that the country was under threat. The Board blamed human rights activists and other liberal movements for sowing discord. As a Malaysia Day gift to the nation, the Prime Minister abolished some draconian laws — but the Board had other plans. The Board engaged a shadowy trio called MAC (Maestro, Architect, Choreographer) to bring back the GODs. In executing their plans, an Ex-Special Force personnel named Reyza was brought in to introduce panic among the public through acts of violence. In the face of this terror, the public openly welcomed back the GODs. But what are the GODs, and why isn't everyone happy to see them return? (Buku Fixi) (Fixi Novo)

Immobilized β-Galactosidase-Mediated Conversion of Lactose: Process, Kinetics and Modeling Studies

By: Fadzil Noor Gonawan

This book describes the reaction rate profiles of the β-galactosidase-catalyzed conversion of lactose on the inner surface of a hollow fiber membrane, which is employed as an enzymatic reactor system. The reaction rate profiles were obtained by solving the mass transfer and kinetics of reaction in a 2-dimensional model of the system. The primary challenge of this research was to develop the kinetic model of the reaction to describe the kinetic behavior as the reaction occurred on the membrane surface. Despite the difficulties, the proposed model can reliably replicate the actual process, as validation procedures have confirmed. The reaction rates obtained analyze the performance of the immobilized enzyme on the membrane surface. Previously, an increase in performance of 'β-galactosidase-catalyzed conversion of lactose assisted by ultrafiltration was suggested due to inhibitor removal. However, as the analysis presented here shows, the concentration profile of the substrate on the membrane surface also affects the reaction performance.

Leap of Faith

Memoir of an Unexpected Life

By: Queen Noor

Born into a distinguished Arab-American family and raised amid privilege, Lisa Halaby was in the first co-educational freshman class at Princeton, graduating in 1974 with a degree in architecture and urban planning. Then, in 1976, she was introduced, on an airport runway, to King Hussein of Jordan, a direct descendent of the prophet Muhammed. In less than two years, she was his wife, Noor al-Hussein, Queen of Jordan.With eloquence and candour, Noor talks frankly of the many challenges of her life as wife and partner to the monarch, providing both an intimate portrait of the late King Hussein and his quest for peace in the Middle East, and a moving account of the demands his public role as a world statesman placed on the royal couple's private life.Sharing a personal perspective on the past three decades of world history, Leap of Faith highlights Queen Noor's views on Islam and the West; the challenges of rearing her family; her work as Queen and humanitarian activist; and her struggles to protect her husband as he slipped into the illness that would kill him in 1999. Her story is filled with recollections of the world's most powerful and interesting people: Queen Elisabeth, Jimmy Carter, Pierre Trudeau, Yassar Arafat and Anwar Sadat.In the wake of September 11, Noor reflects on the true message of Islam and the ongoing violence in the Middle East from her unique perspective with a deep and abiding understanding of Arab aspirations and history.Leap of Faith is refreshingly candid and clear-eyed, a true love story set against the turbulent politics of the last thirty years.
