Описание: On February 11, 1907, the steamship Larchmont collided with the schooner Harry Knowlton. Thrown from their bunks, passengers of the Larchmont panicked and ran onto the ship's deck. Haphazardly loaded lifeboats set out only partially full, and shrieks from

Описание:
It is widely assumed that admission to elite U.S. universities is based solely on academic merit—the best and brightest are admitted to Harvard, Yale, and their peer institutions as determined by test scores and GPA, and not by lineage or family income. But does reality support those expectations? Or are admissions governed by a logic that rewards socioeconomic status while disguising it as personal merit?
The Power of Privilege examines the nexus between social class and admissions at America's top colleges from the vantage point of Yale University, a key actor in the history of higher education. It is a documented history of the institutional gatekeepers, confident of the validity of socially biased measures of merit, seeking to select tomorrow's leadership class from among their economically privileged clientele. Acceptance in prestigious colleges still remains beyond the reach of most students except those from high-income professional families. Ultimately, the author suggests reforms that would move America's top schools toward becoming genuine academic meritocracies.

Описание: Cognitive radio, the technology of transmitting radio communications by having a receiver that can detect used, versus unused, signal channels, is increasingly important with the ever expanding use of wireless communications. The central principle for this enabling technology is spectrum sensing, the ability for a receiver to recognize how channels it identifies are being used at any given point in time and space, and then adjust the communications of a device accordingly to make the most efficient use of available channels. This new book will cover the latest developments in spectrum sensing, as well as the underlying technical principles involved including statistical formulation and the fundamental concepts of signal detection. It will go on to show how spectrum sensing is used in cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access. This book will fill in the gaps from current books, and offer the reader an interesting, robust and illustrative treatment, with recent practical applications of cognitive radio and spectrum sensing.

Описание: I didn't care anymore, not after what happened at The Oasis... and afterward.I just walked, not concerned if I'd live or die. Strange how things change. How a little house, a dog, and a total stranger worked their way into my heart and soul when I didn't think I had either of those things left anymore. I thought I was too old for all of it, certainly too old to care much for my own wellbeing. But the others? Having them around changed my outlook, made me protective.When new dangers appeared, having friends made me truly understand one thing: fear.-----A best seller in Post Apocalyptic fiction SPR review: 5 stars "While a book about outcasts banding together may seem as overdone a trope as zombie fiction itself, once again I have to assure anyone reading this that the author, Keith Soares, is in all ways a step above those expectations in his ideas and his execution... I don't recommend reading this book; I recommend reading every book this author publishes, as I have no doubt he will continue raising the bar."IndieReader review: 4.5 stars "Soares paints a frightening, realistic picture of life in a post-apocalyptic world... It's refreshing to read a book in this vein that allows the reader to explore a protagonist's anguish without relying on a flat, twenty-something hero.""This book should come with a warning: You will not be going anywhere for a while once you read the first chapter.""'The Hopeless Pastures' is a worthy sequel to 'The Oasis of Filth' - a story that stands on its own, but also expertly sets up the final chapter to this compelling series.""Boy does the author deliver. The dramatic arcs of the story are like riding a great rollercoaster.""Soares does a masterful job of making the situations and outcomes seem eerily plausible, which heightens the creepiness factor and suspense immensely for me."

Описание: Embankment construction projects on very soft soil often give rise to serious problems. This volume on geotechnics and soft soil engineering therefore treats all phases of the design and construction process exhaustively, from the first investigation step to the monitoring of constructed work. The book presents the development concepts necessary for the project stages and discusses in great detail construction methods, displacement estimations, stability analyses, monitoring, and various other aspects involved. Extensive attention is furthermore paid to the application of geosynthetics as a tool to improve the stability of soft soils and embankments. Including various tables and practical data for many geographical areas in the world, this reference volume is essential reading for engineers and researchers in geotechnical engineering, construction, and related disciplines.
