Design And Modeling for Computer Experiments

Historical horror that chills to the bone, The RUSH. is for fans of Dan Simmons', The Terror mined with a Northwestern Yukon gold rush edge. Answer the call of the wild north and stampede to the KlondikeALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD. ALL THAT HUNGERS IS NOT HOLY. ALL THAT LIVE ARE NOT ALIVE. This Hungry Earth Reddens Under Snowclad Hills. 1899, Yukon Territory. A frozen frontier, bloodied and bruised by the last great Gold Rush. But in the lawless wastes to the North, something whispers in the hindbrains of men, drawing them to a blighted valley, where giant spidertracks mark the snow and impossible guns roar in the night. To Brokehoof, where gold and blood are mined alike. Now, stumbling towards its haunted forests comes a woman gripped not by greed -- but the snarling rage of a mother in search of her child... From Si Spurrier (Way of X, Hellblazer) and Nathan C. Gooden (Barbaric, Dark One) comes THE RUSH, a dark, lyrical delve into the horror and madness of the wild Yukon. Collects

An interdisciplinary, cross-cultural collection that decenters familiar narratives to provide a fresh perspective on what artificial intelligence is today, and what it might become.Historians, media theorists, science-fiction writers, philosophers, and artists from China and elsewhere reexamine the nation’s intense engagement with AI, moving beyond the clichés that still dominate contemporary debate.Today, visions of the contested future of AI veer between common planetary goals and a new Cold War, as culturally-specific models of intelligence, speculative traditions, and thought experiments come up against the emergence of novel forms of cognition that cannot be reduced to any historical cultural tradition.This uniquely positioned volume provides expert insight into this tension, using China as a touchstone for rethinking "artificiality" and "intelligence" as sites of difference in a way that is already present in the difficulty of precisely translating the Chinese term 人工智能.

透過在家實驗，破解物理之謎。符合108年課綱科學核心素養！ ★簡單步驟 × 常見物品 × 貼心說明★美國科學教育家執筆，用最簡單的方式讓你瞭解物理。即使是2本筆記本，也可以用來理解物理的原理！ ★立刻來試試看「紙張的力量」實驗★ ‧兩本頁數大約相同的筆記本接下來，把兩本筆記本從封底開始，每一頁都交錯重疊，疊到封面為止。再試著拉看看，發現竟然拉不開！→原來，當兩張紙相疊在一起時，這些凸起互相接觸，形成「微焊」，在這些微焊的地方會產生稱為「摩擦力」的力。當拉力沒有大到可以破壞紙張表面的微焊，筆記本就會緊緊黏在一起而拉不開。當我們聽到力學、電學、磁力，各式各樣的物理學，都覺得離我們很遙遠。但其實物理不僅發生在周遭的環境中，更是每分每秒都對我們產生影響。如果你曾經好奇彩虹的產生、回音的傳遞、推盪著鞦韆、腳踏車飛快地轉動輪子，那這樣其實就是探究物理學。也許你知道原理，但通過實驗，你會恍然大悟，原來這麼簡單！本書用三種研究方法來更認識物理。總共涵蓋了力學、浮力與飛行、固體與液體、電力、磁力、光、熱、聲音，8大物理主題。利用40個好玩的物理小實驗，將曾經的疑惑一一解開！＼透過提出假說、實驗反證、歸納結論，培養理科腦／ ◤假說，試著提出有根據的猜測。◢預測實驗過程會發生什麼事，以及這些現象為何發生，可以使用以下形式：「如果我……（寫下行動），就會……（寫下預測的結果）。 ◤懷抱疑問，進行實驗！◢開始動手做實驗測試，證明你的假說是對的，或者有可能是錯的。 ◤歸納結論，判斷假說是否成立！◢試著從資料歸納出結論，並判斷自己的假說是否正確。有清楚背後的原因了嗎？如果還是不太確定，那也沒關係，可以再試試看！一次掌握物理八大主題，將難以理解的物理拉近了！● 力：「力」是兩個物體互相作用時，其中一個物體對另一個所產生的推或拉。藉由實驗來了解力的原理吧！○ 浮力與飛行：浮力就是流體將在其中的物體往上推的力。還有我們會研究如何運用氣壓讓東西飛起來。● 固體與液體：了介各種固體與液體的特性，還要解開「水」的祕密，你會發現出乎意料的事情喔。○ 電力：我們依賴著電力，那麼電力又是如何轉換成動能的呢？讓我們打開開關，進入電力的世界吧！● 磁力：本章實驗中，將讓你操弄磁鐵來完成各種神奇的特技，包括將普通的日常用品變成磁鐵，或透過電流製造磁場。○ 光：如果沒有任何光線從物體上反射，那我們什麼都看不見

This book focuses on novel stormwater control measures (SCMs) and related technologies for the reductions of detrimental impacts from urban stormwater. Many of these SCMs are nature-based and ar

Embrace your inner alchemist and discover the science behind magical experiments! Kids will be spellbound as they explore the magic of physics, biology, and chemistry with common household itemsHave you ever wished you could cast a real spell with the wave of a magic wand? Have you ever wanted to mix a real color-changing potion? Now kids can perform magical feats with a few simple ingredients and a little help from science.Written by biochemist Cara Florance, The Science Spell Book is the perfect way to engage kids while teaching them about science.

Standing as the first unified textbook on the subject, Liquid Crystals and Their Computer Simulations provides a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of liquid crystals and of their Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics computer simulations. Liquid crystals have a complex physical nature, and, therefore, computer simulations are a key element of research in this field. This modern text develops a uniform formalism for addressing various spectroscopic techniques and other experimental methods for studying phase transitions of liquid crystals, and emphasises the links between their molecular organisation and observable static and dynamic properties. Aided by the inclusion of a set of Appendices containing detailed mathematical background and derivations, this book is accessible to a broad and multidisciplinary audience. Primarily intended for graduate students and academic researchers, it is also an invaluable reference for industrial researchers working on the development of liquid cryst

This is Slappy's world -- You only scream in it!Space-obsessed Murphy Shannon is pumped that his 6th grade class is visiting the Rayburne Observatory. Except, being a know-it-all means he's totally bored with the lectures he has to sit through. So when classmates Orly and Cleo say they should explore on their own, Murphy sneaks out with them. But when they come face-to-face with the strange Dr. Rayburne and his experiments, they realize they may be way in-over-their heads. A grand adventure in space may be in store for them, if they can survive...
