Description:

Examines the realities of unexplained natural phenomenon and provides explanations that push the boundaries of science.
• Looks at animal telepathy and the ability of pigeons to home.
• Proves the point that "big questions don’t need big science".
• Noted scientist Rupert Sheldrake is a former research fellow of the Royal Society.
• New Edition with an Update on Results.
How does your pet "know" when you are coming home? How do pigeons "home"? Can people really feel a "phantom" amputated arm? These questions and more form the basis of Sheldrake’s look at the world of contemporary science as he puts some of the most cherished assumptions of established science to the test. What Sheldrake discovers is that certain scientific beliefs are so widely taken for granted that they are no longer regarded as theories but are seen as scientific common sense. In the true spirit of science, Sheldrake examines seven of these beliefs. Refusing to let intellectual dogmatism influence his search for the truth, Sheldrake presents simple experiments that allow the curious and the skeptical to join in his journey of discovery. His experiments look at how scientific research is often biased against unexpected patterns that emerge and how a researcher’s expectations can influence the results. He also examines the taboo of taking pets seriously and explores the question of human extrasensory perception. Perhaps most important, he questions the notion that science must be expensive in order to achieve important results, showing that inexpensive methods can indeed shake the very foundations of science as we know it.
In this compelling and intelligent book, Sheldrake offers no preconceived wisdom or easy answers-just an open invitation to explore the unknown, create new science, and perhaps, even change the world.

Description:

This textbook introduces the theoretical foundations of technologies essential for knowledge graphs. It also covers practical examples, applications and tools. Knowledge graphs are the most recent answer to the challenge of providing explicit knowledge about entities and their relationships by potentially integrating billions of facts from heterogeneous sources. The book is structured in four parts. For a start, Part I lays down the overall context of knowledge graph technology. Part II “Knowledge Representation” then provides a deep understanding of semantics as the technical core of knowledge graph technology. Semantics is covered from different perspectives, such as conceptual, epistemological and logical. Next, Part III “Knowledge Modelling” focuses on the building process of knowledge graphs. The book focuses on the phases of knowledge generation, knowledge hosting, knowledge assessment, knowledge cleaning, knowledge enrichment, and knowledge deployment to cover a complete life cycle for this process. Finally, Part IV (simply called “Applications”) presents various application areas in detail with concrete application examples as well as an outlook on additional trends that will emphasize the need for knowledge graphs even stronger.
This textbook is intended for graduate courses covering knowledge graphs. Besides students in knowledge graph, Semantic Web, database, or information retrieval classes, also advanced software developers for Web applications or tools for Web data management will learn about the foundations and appropriate methods.

Description:

Welcome to React Essentials, a comprehensive guide designed to navigate you through the dynamic and robust landscape of React development. This book is crafted with the ambition to serve both budding enthusiasts eager to step into the world of modern web development and seasoned professionals looking to refine their mastery of React.

React, developed by Facebook and maintained by a community of individual developers and companies, has revolutionized the way we think about building web applications. Its declarative, component-based architecture has not only simplified the development process but also opened new horizons in building interactive and scalable user interfaces. The essence of React lies in its simplicity and flexibility, allowing developers to create complex applications with more manageable and reusable code , React Essentials begins with an exploration into the core principles and advantages of React, offering a deep dive into what sets it apart in the crowded space of JavaScript frameworks and libraries. We trace the evolution of React, from its inception as React.js to its current form that embraces hooks, a feature that has fundamentally altered how we write React code today. This journey is not just about understanding the technical aspects but also appreciating the philosophy behind React’s design , As we progress, the book meticulously guides you through setting up your React development environment, introducing essential tools and libraries such as Node.js, Webpack, and Babel. We understand that a comfortable and efficient development setup is key to a productive coding experience. Therefore, we also cover essential IDEs and extensions, illustrated with practical examples, to kickstart your React journey.

Diving deeper, React Essentials unfolds the intricacies of JSX, the syntax at the heart of React. We aim to transform your understanding of JSX from merely a syntactic extension to a powerful tool for declaring UI components. Our exploration of components, the fundamental building blocks of any React application, is comprehensive. From functional and class components to state and props management, each concept is broken down and elucidated with real-world examples , One of the most significant additions to React in recent years has been hooks, and we dedicate an entire section to unraveling their power. Through practical examples like building a counter with useState or creating a custom useFetch hook, we showcase how hooks simplify state management and side-effects in your applications.
State management is a critical aspect of any sizable application, and React Essentials delves into strategies and tools to handle state elegantly in React. We cover the Context API for simple state needs and graduate to Redux for more complex scenarios, ensuring you have a solid grasp of when and how to use each.

Routing, forms, styling, API communication, and performance optimization – each of these pivotal areas of React development is covered in detail. We provide insights into best practices, common design patterns, and advanced topics like server-side rendering and integration with TypeScript. Security, a paramount concern in web development, is also addressed, equipping you with knowledge to prevent common vulnerabilities.
Testing is an aspect no developer can afford to overlook, and this book covers various testing strategies and tools, ensuring your React applications are robust and error-free. We also look at the practical side of things, with chapters dedicated to building and deploying React applications, and real-world project examples to consolidate your learning.

Description:

Singularities are ubiquitous in nature and generate high levels of interest and activity among scientists. At a singularity, a parameter of interest becomes indeterminate, a single point at which a mathematical quantity is not defined or not ‘well behaved’. In optics, a singularity refers to a point at which some parameter describing the electromagnetic field becomes indeterminate. Even though at the singular point, things are not well defined, the neighbourhood points of a singularity are characterized by very large gradients and hence there is significant scope for new discoveries. Recent advances have gathered pace, and interest continues to grow in this field, and with its applications.
Key Features:

• Simple presentation suitable for beginners.
• Extensive coverage of the field suitable for experts.
• Comprehensive literature survey.
• A key reference book for academics and industry experts working within the field.
