Sex Offending: Causal Theories to Inform Research, Prevention, and Treatment (Law and Public Policy)
Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) | ISBN: 0979212529 | edition 2008 | PDF | 278 pages | 15,7 mb

Why do some men commit sex offenses? While the question might seem straightforward, the answer is anything but. In this book, the authors review and critique existing theories and the supporting literature on why adolescent and adult males commit such acts as child molestation, voyeurism, indecent exposure, rape, and other violent offenses against adults and children. Chapters explore a range of theories of etiology, including biological, cognitive, behavioral, social learning, personality/psychodynamic, and evolutionary theories, as well as theories that incorporate two or more of these viewpoints.

The authors then present their original integrative theory of sex offending, and the ways it could influence prevention and treatment.

This book acknowledges that women can and do perpetrate sex offenses but focuses exclusively on developing a theory for male sex offenders. Scientists across psychology sub-disciplines and mental health professionals treating sex offenders will benefit from this book, as will law professionals working with this population. Public health officials and other policymakers charged with prevention and community awareness about sex offending will also find much food for thought in this book.

A Promise Given
Publisher: Avon | ISBN: 0380786087 | edition 1998 | PDF | 384 pages | 1 mb
A PROMISE GIVEN
The proud head of his Highland clan, Ian MacGregor has returned, cloaked in secrets, to the place where he spent many carefree years, in order to marry Margaret Kincaid–the lowlands lass to whom he has been betrothed since his youth. But it is the wild spirited and hauntingly beautiful Sabrina Kincaid who catches Ian’s eye. And when Margaret mysteriously vanishes, he willingly accepts Sabrina as his bride in her sister’s stead.

A PROMISE KEPT
Dutybound to honor her father’s wish, Sabrina reluctantly agrees to wed the rugged chieftain–though she fears the rumors of Ian’s dark past. . .and the whispers that now blame him for Margaret’s disappearance. But her sensuous soul bids her to pay no heed to her doubts and mistrust, and to submit instead to the searing passions that burn within her. For Ian’s stirring yet tender caress speaks of a noble, gentle heart. And if peril is Sabrina’s fate, so be it–for she is determined to learn the truths that will set them both free and carry them aloft together on the wings of incomparable love.

The End of Software: Transforming Your Business for the On Demand Future
Publisher: Sams | ISBN: 0672326981 | edition 2004 | PDF | 192 pages | 1 mb
Do you know what is the real cost of your software? Before you reach for a calculator, be forewarned that it’s a trick question. Even technology industry analysts and seasoned IT executives have difficulty putting a hard figure on the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of today’s enterprise application solutions. What makes the equation so tricky is the sheer number of variables that must be factored in, many of which cannot be lined up in a neat column and reconciled, such as issues of security, availability, performance, problem resolution and change management.

The End of Software: Transforming Your Business for the On Demand Future, by Dr. Timothy Chou, is a groundbreaking book for business managers and executives that challenges conventional approaches to business software and proposes new alternatives to managing and maintaining the systems that companies depend on.

Nonstandard Queries and Nonstandard Answers (Studies in Logic and Computation, Vol 3)
Publisher: Oxford University Press | ISBN: 0198538529 | edition 1994 | PDF | 296 pages | 11,8 mb

Future data and knowledge base systems will require new and improved functions such as richer data modeling capabilities, more powerful query languages, and new conceptions of query answers. Future query languages will need to include hypothetical, abductive, meta-, and modal reasoning, involving both knowledge and belief. And intentional answers will ultimately lead to cooperative query answering which takes into consideration a user’s expectations. This book explores the formalization of new queries and answers, and emphasizes the important role of non-classical logic.

It shows how logic permits precise definitions for concepts like cooperative answers, subjective queries, and reliable sources of information. The work also gives a precise framework for reasoning about such complex concepts. Topics include cooperative query answering, metareasoning and abductive reasoning, and hypothetical and subjunctive reasoning. Students and researchers in database computing and artificial intelligence will want to read this book.

The Dream of Spaceflight: Essays on the Near Edge of Infinity
Publisher: Da Capo Press | ISBN: 0306810484 | edition 2001 | PDF | 176 pages | 12,8 mb

First time in paperback: In the tradition of Loren Eisley-”[A] beautifully written book” (Sir Arthur C. Clarke) on the human drive to explore space.
One of few truly gifted essayists who have turned their talents to science, Wyn Wachhorst here fashions a luminous meditation on the meaning of space exploration from a montage of images and reflections on humanity’s dream of spaceflight.

In a survey of major figures from Johannes Kepler to Wernher von Braun, he sees in the rise of spaceflight a metaphor of modern history as a recurrent story of transformation and rebirth. Other essays offer new perspectives on the nature of wonder, recall the romantic vision of the decades prior to Sputnik (”nostalgia for a bygone future”), and look at the larger meaning of the moon landing, seeing in spaceflight not only a spiritual quest in the broadest sense of the word, but a cure for the withered capacity for wonder that afflicts the postmodern mind.

Kyriacos Athanasiou, Johanna Sanchez-adams, “Engineering the Knee Meniscus (Synthesis Lectures on Tissue Engineering)”
Morgan & Claypool Publishers | 2009 | ISBN: 1598298720 | 120 pages | PDF | 5,8 MB

ABSTRACT
The knee meniscus was once thought to be a vestigial tissue, but is now known to be instrumental
in imparting stability, shock absorption, load transmission, and stress distribution within the knee
joint. Unfortunately,most damage to the meniscus cannot be effectively healed by the body. Meniscus
tissue engineering offers a possible solution to this problem by striving to create replacement tissue
that may be implanted into a defect site.With a strong focus on structure-function relationships,
this book details the essential anatomical, biochemical, and mechanical aspects of this versatile tissue
and reviews current meniscus tissue engineering strategies and repair techniques.

We have written
this text such that undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers will find it useful as
a first foray into tissue engineering, a cohesive study of the meniscus, or a reference for meniscus
engineering specifications.

PREFACE:
The inspiration for writing this monograph came from our desire to highlight important
aspects of the knee meniscus as they relate to tissue engineering and outline historical and current
advances in the field. Our goal was to create a cohesive, logical, and graphic work that guides
the reader through a study of the meniscus through the eyes of a tissue engineer. We hope that
undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers alike will find this information useful as
an introductory guide to engineering the meniscus or a reference for future engineering attempts.
The first half of the monograph focuses on native characteristics of the knee meniscus including
its biochemical makeup, mechanical properties, and the limited ability of the tissue to self-repair.
The second half reviews tissue engineering attempts aimed at recreating meniscus biochemistry and
mechanics to repair damaged tissue, and highlights important considerations for meniscus tissue
engineers. Throughout the chapters particular emphasis is placed on the functional aspect of the
meniscus and its importance in a tissue engineered construct. We hope that the overall outline
of this book allows the reader to understand the complexity of the knee meniscus and the need
for engineered meniscus tissue, while providing enough background to evaluate recent engineering
attempts. By documenting the field of meniscus engineering in this way, we aim to educate and
inspire innovation from current and future researchers.
