Pseudoscience and Deception The Smoke and Mirrors of Paranormal Claims

Pseudoscience and Deception The Smoke and Mirrors of Paranormal Claims
Bryan Farha, Michael Shermer, "Pseudoscience and Deception: The Smoke and Mirrors of Paranormal Claims"
English | 2013 | pages: 194 | ISBN: 0761862927 | EPUB | 0,8 mb
Pseudoscience and Deception is a compilation of some of the most eye-opening skeptical articles pertaining to extraordinary claims and pseudoscience. The articles explore paranormal, extraordinary, or fringe-science claims and reveal logical explanations or outline the deceptive tactics involved in convincing the vulnerable. Topics include claims of astrology, psychic ability, alternative medicine, after-death communication, psychotherapy, and pseudoscience. The contributors to this book are among the most accomplished critical thinkers, scientists, and educators in the world and tackle their respective topics from a rational, logical, and skeptical perspective. Most students are seldom excited to study "critical thinking"-with the exception of allegedly paranormal phenomena as the subject matter. Educators must seize this golden opportunity to witness and experience students' genuine engagement in studying critical thinking.

Pro Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2.0 (2nd Edition)

Pro Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2.0 (2nd Edition)
Pro Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2.0: A Mathematical Approach to Advanced Artificial Intelligence in Python
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1484289307 | 652 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 32 MB
Pro Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2.0 begins with the mathematical and core technical foundations of deep learning. Next, you will learn about convolutional neural networks, including new convolutional methods such as dilated convolution, depth-wise separable convolution, and their implementation. You'll then gain an understanding of natural language processing in advanced network architectures such as transformers and various attention mechanisms relevant to natural language processing and neural networks in general. As you progress through the book, you'll explore unsupervised learning frameworks that reflect the current state of deep learning methods, such as autoencoders and variational autoencoders. The final chapter covers the advanced topic of generative adversarial networks and their variants, such as cycle consistency GANs and graph neural network techniques such as graph attention networks and GraphSAGE.

Privacy in the Modern Age The Search for Solutions

Privacy in the Modern Age The Search for Solutions
Marc Rotenberg, Jeramie Scott, Julia Horwitz, "Privacy in the Modern Age: The Search for Solutions"
English | 2015 | pages: 240 | ISBN: 1620971070 | EPUB | 1,8 mb
The threats to privacy are well known: the National Security Agency tracks our phone calls; Google records where we go online and how we set our thermostats; Facebook changes our privacy settings when it wishes; Target gets hacked and loses control of our credit card information; our medical records are available for sale to strangers; our children are fingerprinted and their every test score saved for posterity; and small robots patrol our schoolyards and drones may soon fill our skies.

Prions and Diseases

Prions and Diseases
Prions and Diseases by Wen-Quan Zou, Pierluigi Gambetti
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 773 Pages | ISBN : 3031205642 | 70.4 MB
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE), known as prion diseases, have been recognized for nearly 300 years in animals and almost 100 years in humans. Modern studies, including the protein-misfolding cyclic amplification (PMCA), have greatly advanced our understanding of the pathogenesis of prion diseases and facilitated the identification of new prion diseases in animals and humans.

Primates in Anthropogenic Landscapes Exploring Primate Behavioural Flexibility Across Human Contexts

Primates in Anthropogenic Landscapes Exploring Primate Behavioural Flexibility Across Human Contexts
Primates in Anthropogenic Landscapes: Exploring Primate Behavioural Flexibility Across Human Contexts by Tracie McKinney, Siân Waters, Michelle A. Rodrigues
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 350 Pages | ISBN : 3031117352 | 21.7 MB
The field of primatology has expanded substantially in the last twenty years, particularly with regard to studies of primates in human-altered landscapes. This text aims to review the recent literature on anthropogenic (of human origin) influences on non-human primates, bringing an overview of this important area of primatology together for students. Chapters are grouped into three sections, representing the many ways anthropogenic activities affect primate populations. The first section, 'Human Influences on Primate Habitat', covers ways in which wild primates are affected by human actions, including forest fragmentation, climate change, and the presence of dogs.

Cybercrime is one of the greatest threats to humanity to emerge since the cold war. No individual or organization is immune to malicious threats, and the risk increases every day. In the blink of an eye, cybercrime can ruin the prosperity of an individual or an entire organization. There currently is no way to guarantee safety with 100% certainty, because the risks are constantly evolving. However, with the right practices, policies, and products in place you can reduce the likelihood of being compromised down to a statistical anomaly.
