This book illustrates and explains the key concepts of business data analytics from scratch, tackling the day-to-day challenges of a business data analyst. It provides you with all the professional tools you need to predict online shop sales, to conduct A/B tests on marketing campaigns, to generate automated reports with PowerPoint, to extract datasets from Wikipedia, and to create interactive analytics Web apps. Alongside these practical projects, this book provides hands-on coding exercises, case studies, the essential programming tools and the CRISP-DM framework which you'll need to kickstart your career in business data analytics.The different chapters prioritize practical understanding over mathematical theory, using realistic business data and challenges of the Junglivet Whisky Company to intuitively grasp key concepts and ideas. Designed for beginners and intermediates, this book guides you from business data analytics fundamentals to advanced techniques, covering a large number

Determining the earliest point in time at which international law authorises a state to exercise its inherent right of self-defence is an issue which has been debated, but unsatisfactorily reasoned, b

The domain of inverse problems has experienced a rapid expansion, driven by the increase in computing power and the progress in numerical modeling. When I started working on this domain years ago, I b

Enrich your next sea vacation with this fun how-to guide to observing and doing astrophotography on water. Collecting together the author’s five decades of astrophotography and teaching experience, th

This book introduces readers to techniques of geometric optimal control as well as the exposure and applicability of adapted numerical schemes. It is based on two real-world applications, which have b

Structural concrete designers nowadays distinguish between B-regions (named after Bernoulli beam theory) and D-regions (D standing for ‘disturbed’). They are all familiar with B-regions, but less acqu

This book is a practical resource designed to help developers master the art of building sophisticated AI agents. As artificial intelligence evolves from simple reactive programs to autonomous entities capable of understanding context and making complex decisions, this book provides the essential Design Patterns and proven techniques needed to construct intelligent systems effectively. Each of the 21 Design Patterns represents a fundamental building block for creating agents that can perceive their environment, make informed decisions, and execute actions autonomously.Agentic Design Patterns: A Hands-On Guide to Building Intelligent Systems is structured as a comprehensive hands-on guide, with each chapter dedicated to a single agentic pattern. Within each chapter, you will find a detailed pattern overview, practical applications and use cases, one or more hands-on code example, and key takeaways for quick review. From foundational concepts such as Prompt Chaining and Tool Use to advan

This book presents possible solutions for a circuler economy (CE) in the water and wastewater sector through an inventory of multidisciplinary knowledge with high scientific and practical importance which can contribute to support the transition to the CE model in water and wastewater sector. Water in modern studies exceeds being an important source for irrigation and drinking. It is now a significant source of renewable energy and a catalyst in most industrial and manufacturing products. The protection and sustainable management of water resources and water-based waste (as wastewater, sewage sludge, or sewage sludge ash) are important aspects of the CE, which is defined as a regenerative growth model that gives back to the planet more than it takes. Our book, entitled "Water in Circular Economy", delivers a comprehensive overview of the latest research covering the following aspects of water management from the perspective of the CE implementation: - Water as a key resource in the c

This book provides an in-depth roadmap for qualitative research methods and data analysis across disciplines using ATLAS.ti. It encompasses and rationalizes key qualitative research concepts and methods with innovative frameworks to enrich the reader’s understanding of qualitative research methods and data analysis.
