After all, a book about love can endure for centuries.Well, whatever your reasons, you should know ahead of time that writing a terrific romance novel is difficult.There are so many components involved in crafting a successful story....

This textbook provides an exciting new addition to the area of network science featuring a stronger and more methodical link of models to their mathematical origin and explains how these relate to each other with special focus on epidemic spread on networks. The content of the book is at the interface of graph theory, stochastic processes and dynamical systems. The authors set out to make a significant contribution to closing the gap between model development and the supporting mathematics...

This textbook provides an exciting new addition to the area of network science featuring a stronger and more methodical link of models to their mathematical origin and explains how these relate to each other with special focus on epidemic spread on networks. The book’s content lies at the interface of epidemiology, graph theory, stochastic processes and dynamical systems. This second edition has been substantially expanded from 11 to 15 chapters, adding comprehensive coverage of stochastic...

Tillage agriculture has led to widespread soil and ecosystem degradation. This book reviews research and development initiatives in Africa aimed at building resilient farming systems. It summarises the status of conservation agriculture today, discusses prospects for future development and provides case studies showing its performance in Africa.

Letter's of Peter are two ancient letters written by Jesus right-hand man Peter Simon.In Peter's first letter he tell his followers to live good lives and follow the law. He admits that it's a shame that their good deeds are not rewarded by God, but that the reward will come eventually, perhaps in the next life.In Peter's second letter he suspects that he won't live much longer and he warn people against switching from Christianity to another religion as that's a one way ti...

Born half a century ago, predating the internet and named WAVE in its infantry, the Spatial Grasp Model has been tested on numerous applications: graph and network theory, collective robotics, crisis management, security and defense, social systems, and space-based systems. The Spatial Grasp Model confirms the potential applicability of the developed paradigm, language, and technology for solving much broader classes of problems, especially those related to large and unknown world...

The book describes a novel ideology and supporting information technology for integral management of both civil and defence-orientated large, distributed dynamic systems. The approach is based on a high-level Spatial Grasp Language, SGL, expressing solutions in physical, virtual, executive and combined environments in the form of active self-evolving and self-propagating patterns spatially matching the systems to be created, modified and controlled. The communicating interpreters of SGL ca...

In September 2018, the 73rd General Assembly of the United Nations acknowledged that international instability is increasing and that improving global security is among the most important tasks facing the world today. The Assembly concluded that it is extremely important to develop new, effective frameworks and technologies to understand and confront increasingly complex networks of actors, interests, and contexts.Leading international security expert Peter Sapaty meets this challe...

This book investigates new important applications of the Spatial Grasp Technology (SGT) allowing us to effectively simulate and manage large distributed dynamic systems on semantic and holistic levels. This patented technology, developed for decades and in different countries, is based on a completely different philosophy and model allowing us to directly operate in united distributed physical and virtual spaces and provide system solutions much simpler and more compact than under other ap...

Microcirculation of blood is the circulation of blood in the smallest of blood vessels, those embedded in the organ tissues. While these are not the first avenues of thought when we consider circulation, they are vital to human health and to the function of the body. Without Microcirculation, our organs would fail, carbon dioxide removal would be reduced and the body would cease to function as it is meant to. This type of blood movement also directly impacts blood pressure and has become a...

Sulfur is a mineral that is vital to human growth and health, yet it is all too often overshadowed by other, more marketable vitamins and minerals. Found readily in nature and in every part of the human body, this non-metallic compound can help us achieve optimal health - IF we know about it, and if we understand the how's, why's and when's of this important mineral. This guide is your answer to everything regarding sulfur. If you suffer from brittle nails, fatigue, slow healing wounds, ar...

Despite modern advances people still get older. The years pass and time takes its toll and it seems that aging is all but inevitable... But what if it doesn't have to be? We may not be able to stop the passage of time, but what if we could slow, or even reverse, the effects of aging? Long ago wise men and women had secrets that are just be rediscovered now, plants and methods to increase longevity and vitality. Science has shown us these methods and secrets are still just as valid and help...
