Data mining of massive data sets is transforming the way we think about crisis response, marketing, entertainment, cybersecurity and national intelligence. Collections of documents, images, videos, and networks are being thought of not merely as bit strings to be stored, indexed, and retrieved, but as potential sources of discovery and knowledge, requiring sophisticated analysis techniques that go far beyond classical indexing and keyword counting, aiming to find relational and semantic interpretations of the phenomena underlying the data. Frontiers in Massive Data Analysis examines the frontier of analyzing massive amounts of data, whether in a static database or streaming through a system. Data at that scale-terabytes and petabytes-is increasingly common in science (e.g., particle physics, remote sensing, genomics), Internet commerce, business analytics, national security, communications, and elsewhere. The tools that work to infer knowledge from data at smaller scales do not necessarily work, or work well, at such massive scale. New tools, skills, and approaches are necessary, and this report identifies many of them, plus promising research directions to explore. Frontiers in Massive Data Analysis discusses pitfalls in trying to infer knowledge from massive data, and it characterizes seven major classes of computation that are common in the analysis of massive data. Overall, this report illustrates the cross-disciplinary knowledge-from computer science, statistics, machine learning, and application disciplines-that must be brought to bear to make useful inferences from massive data.
As part of the Physics 2010 decadal survey project, the National Research Council was asked by the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation to recommend priorities for the U.S. particle physics program for the next 15 years. The challenge faced in this study was to identify a compelling leadership role for the United States in elementary particle physics given the global nature of the field and the current lack of a long-term and distinguishing strategic focus. Revealing the Hidden Nature of Space and Time provides an assessment of the scientific challenges in particle physics, including the key questions and experimental opportunities, the current status of the U.S. program and the strategic framework in which it sits and a set of strategic principles and recommendations to sustain a competitive and globally relevant U.S. particle physics program.
How can each of us live Cooler Smarter? While the routine decisions that shape our days—what to have for dinner, where to shop, how to get to work—may seem small, collectively they have a big effect on global warming. But which changes in our lifestyles might make the biggest difference to the climate? This science-based guide shows you the most effective ways to cut your own global warming emissions by twenty percent or more, and explains why your individual contribution is so vital to addressing this global problem. Cooler Smarter is based on an in-depth, two-year study by the experts at The Union of Concerned Scientists. While other green guides suggest an array of tips, Cooler Smarter offers proven strategies to cut carbon, with chapters on transportation, home energy use, diet, personal consumption, as well as how best to influence your workplace, your community, and elected officials. The book explains how to make the biggest impact and when not to sweat the small stuff. It also turns many eco-myths on their head, like the importance of locally produced food or the superiority of all hybrid cars. The advice in Cooler Smarter can help save you money and live healthier. But its central purpose is to empower you, through low carbon-living, to confront one of society’s greatest threats.
In the global War on Terror, among the greatest threats to the United States military are insurgent uprisings. Enter the U.S. Army Counterinsurgency Warrior Handbook, the counterinsurgency playbook used by the greatest army in the world. This manual establishes fundamental principles for tactical counterinsurgency operations at the company, battalion, and brigade level. It is based on lessons learned from historic counterinsurgencies and current operations. The realities of today’s operational environment—an environment modified by a population explosion, urbanization, globalization, technology, the spread of religious fundamentalism, resource demand, climate change and natural disasters, and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Both a boots-on-the-ground field guide to defeating an insurgency in a nation where the U.S. military has oversight and a high-level leadership guide for commanders organizing counterinsurgency efforts, this book—which includes battle diagrams and illustrations—is not only a must-read for military buffs, but also a valuable resource for business and gaming strategists.
What Happens When the People of God (the Church) Pray draws on the author’s fty-eight years of experience praying to the Lord individually, in groups, and as a pastor, preacher, and evangelist. e Rev. Dr. Gary W. Exman highlights the numerous prayer victories he’s led, participated in, or seen, smashing the myth that fervent prayer is ine ective. He also reveals how he’s transformed his personal, professional, and pastoral ministry through prayer. As you read, you’ll consider questions such as: • How is prayer connected to salvation? • How should we pray to the Lord? • How can praying help us forgive those who have wronged us? e author also considers how the COVID-19 pandemic a ected worship, how prayer can transform families and governments, and how to share the spirit of prayer. He urges readers to never forget what the church is. It does not consist of buildings but rather the people of God building relationships with people who do not know God, to help them know and love God in Jesus.
Providing an adequate, sustainable, and nutritious supply of protein remains an increasing challenge in the light of changing food systems and raised levels of food insecurity and malnutrition. A joint FAO and IAEA technical meeting was held in Vienna, in 2022, to discuss the development of a protein quality database and the revision of protein requirements across population groups. Participants updated evidence and related methods on protein requirements and protein quality assessment and designed a framework for the development of a protein digestibility database to aid dialogue on the evaluation of protein quality and protein sufficiency in different populations. The report of this meeting offers a global presentation of the concept of protein quality and requirements throughout the life course. It presents the important elements needed to set protein requirements, such as indispensable amino acid scores and indispensable amino acid reference patterns and the associated methods. The report then narrows down on assessment of protein digestion and metabolic utilization and related assessment methods, including stable isotope tracer techniques. Finally, the report summarizes the framework for a new protein quality database jointly managed by FAO and IAEA, which was agreed on by experts at the technical meeting. The report also recognizes the dearth of data on protein quality from low- and middle-income countries and recommends that resources be mobilized to set up a protein quality database, inclusive of data on climate-smart foods.
