Polybenzoxazines (PBz) belong to the family of new generation phenolic resins. They have emerged as addition-curable polymers. This feature obviates many of the shortcomings associated with conventional phenolic resins. They are endowed with excellent thermal, physical, and thermo-physical properties, and surpass the features of many conventional and state-of-the-art polymers. These unique materials offer extraordinary characteristics: near zero shrinkage, no release of volatiles during cure, high Tg, low flammability, and high UV and chemical stabilities. Given the breadth of molecular design flexibility, a wide variety of polybenzoxazines can be developed. PBz equipped with additional curing groups can generally enhance the overall thermal and mechanical properties. Blends with epoxy resins, cyanate esters, and bismaleimides offer other opportunities for fine-tuning properties. This chapter gives an account of the developments of PBz materials from their inception to the current level of application in engineering areas.

The steps in creating computers that are as fluent in human language as people has long been a goal for scientists and the general public. Human language communication both represents and challenges an intelligence, because while languages appear to follow some unseen rules of spelling and grammar. Systems that understand or use language, which we call ?Natural Language Processing? (NLP) systems, have been created by specifying algorithms for computers based on the observable regularities of language noted by experts.Use this book to learn the principles and methods of NLP to understand what it is, where it is useful, how to use it, and how it might be used people. The book includes the core topics of modern NLP, including an overview of the syntax and semantics of English, benchmark tasks for computational language modeling, and higher level tasks and applications that analyze or generate language, using both rule-based search and machine learning approaches. It takes the perspective of a computer scientist. The primary themes are abstraction, data, algorithms, applications and impacts.

A Daily Dose of Divinity: Unraveling the Mystical World of Curses and Boons Welcome to a captivating exploration of the enigmatic realm of curses and boons, where divine intervention intertwines with human destiny. This book delves into the depths of ancient mythologies, religious texts, and historical accounts to uncover the fascinating stories and profound implications of these supernatural forces. From the epic tales of Hindu mythology to the cryptic prophecies of biblical lore, curses and boons have captivated human imagination for centuries. They have been invoked as instruments of retribution, blessings, and cosmic justice, shaping the course of civilizations and individual lives. Within these pages, you will encounter a diverse array of curses and boons, ranging from the wrathful decrees of powerful deities to the subtle whispers of fate. You will witness their power to bring about both joy and sorrow, prosperity and ruin, life and death. We will journey through the intricate tapestry of Hindu mythology, where gods and demons wage eternal battles and mortals bear the brunt of divine wrath. We will delve into the sacred texts of the Vedas, Upanishads, and Puranas, unraveling the hidden meanings behind ancient verses and rituals. We will also explore the intriguing concept of reincarnation, a belief that offers a profound perspective on the cyclical nature of existence and the potential for karmic retribution. We will examine real-life cases of reincarnation, drawing inspiration from the stories of individuals who claim to remember past lives and carry the burdens of past karma. Furthermore, we will delve into the world of chakras, the energy centers within the human body that are believed to be connected to the divine. We will learn how to balance and activate these chakras to unlock our spiritual potential and experience a deeper connection with the universe. Ultimately, this book invites you to embark on a spiritual journey of self-discovery and enlightenment. By understanding the power of curses and boons, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things and the delicate balance between divine will and human choice. In particular, "curse" may refer to such a wish or pronouncement made effective by a supernatural or spiritual power, such as a god or gods, a spirit, or a natural force, or else as a kind of spell by magic (usually black magic) or witchcraft; in the latter sense, a curse can also be called a hex or a jinx. A curse (also called an imprecation, malediction, execration, malison, anathema, or commination) is any expressed wish that some form of adversity or misfortune will befall or attach to one or more persons, a place, or an object. In many belief systems, the curse itself (or accompanying ritual) is considered to have some causative force in the result. To reverse or eliminate a curse is sometimes called "removal" or "breaking", as the spell has to be dispelled, and often requires elaborate rituals or prayers.
