Through research and insight gained from daily living, seemingly disparate topics such as healthcare, the military, prison, education, wellness, and the food industry to name a few are explored and examined. But the common thread running through these topics is that of authority-an authority that does not care about those it influences and serves. An authority, whether government, corporations, or another powerful entity, that is often perceived to be invisible, or even benignly inconsequential because of our country's emphasis on personal freedom and a market-based economy. In a voice that is as penetrating as it is compassionate, as concerned as it is hopeful, Rene shows how this type of authority is incapable of caring about individual lives, and how we knowingly and unknowingly hand ourselves over to it so that life decisions can be made for us, our problems solved. This, in turn, sets the stage for habitual disempowerment and a lifestyle that feels oddly not of our own making.

Zero and Infinity: Make My Day - 37

About the BOOK, ZERO AND INFINITY: Right at the beginning of this book, Henares writes of his religion, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and with amazing clarity and insight, posits why it endured for 2,000 years and is destined to endure till the end of time. First reason is that despite monumental boo-boos like Holy Wars, Inquisition, the fraud that was Constitutum Constantini, and the stand against Galileo -- the Church frequently stood its ground against fanaticism, and provided stability and permanence for civilized man. The Divine Right of Kings, advanced by the Anglicans - the Puritanism of the Calvinists - the Iconoclasts who wanted to smash the statues of Italy - the Jansenists who wanted to destroy the dramas of France - the pessimism and perversions of the Albigensians - "Dominion founded on Grace" of the Lollards, a devout ideal, but impractical when it takes away all political rights and privileges from everybody who was not in a state of grace, thus prevents a policeman from doing his duty unless he gets absolution from his parish priest. The exaggerated errors of a whole generations, like the excesses of Western Imperialism, Socialism, Nazism, Communism, Capitalism, Agnosticism and Scientific Humanism at times kept the Church out of balance - but when the spirit of the age tends to go out of whack, at least Catholic doctrines proved not only right, but almost always right when everything else is wrong. It is a mind surviving a hundred moods. Time has proven the validity of its questioned practices. The validity of the Confessional in the face of the psychiatrist's couch. The validity of sentimental Charity in the face of brutal utilitarianism that dictates true value in terms of usefulness. The validity of true Humility in the face of national and individual pride. The validity of dogmatic harshness in the face of changing values and mores. Devotion to Mary not only in the Church but also in the Moslem and Protestant world, is a throwback to the Mother Principle which brings back unconditional love, mercy, understanding and religious tolerance among all religions, and thousands of gods sharing the same pantheon. Second reason, according to Henares, is the requirement of Celibacy, which assures constant replenishment of new blood from all races and peoples, born of humility not pride, dedicated to serve and not to rule - so different from ruling classes and imperial dynasties, based on blood and heredity, which are weakened eventually by in-breeding among the royalty, and plagued with internecine warfare based on the acquisition of power that decimate the best and the brightest. No one organization with a central authority lasted as long as the Catholic Church did. Original insights such as these make Henares one of the most important writers of our time. In this book Henares gives space to other writers he admires - Conrado de Quiroz, Maria Angela C. Mina, Rina Jimenez David, Teodoro Locsin Jr., Alex Magno, and to an unnamed writer, Danny Mariano of Inquirer Editorials. He pays tribute to World Poetry Day and the Shakespeare of his life, to Women Leaders. specially Gloria Macapagal Arroyo whom he hopes to be the second woman president of the Philippines. And he writes of the Human Condition - Of Sex Orgasm, and the Woman's Dysfunction Traceable to Fear, Shame, Guilt; of Dance, Dance, Dance, "Long before man raised his voice in song, he danced. He danced not to music, but to the rhythm of tom-toms on hollowed logs, and to drums of stretched-out skins. And he danced to attract a mate, to summon his courage in war, to celebrate his victories and to pay homage to his god. In time, he added music to the rhythm of the tom-tom, and the modern dance came into being." Then there is an absolute gem: Why Edsa was called Highway 54, why there is no Highway 53 or 55, why it was also called C-4, Circumferential Road, and eventually EDSA, and why it should be a symbol how the God almighty Americans (MORE INSIDE)
Zero Defects - Dead or Alive?

From the beginning "Zero Defects" has not focused on a clearly defined specific product failure rate, but was more a management tool for defect reduction. Today, in addition, quality sensitive branches predominantly consider a "defects per million" (dpm) quality level as Zero Defects, but already move on towards lower defect rates on the "defects per billion" (dpb) quality level. Based on the evaluation of the companies' supplier quality rating schemes, however, it becomes obvious that failure rates of incoming goods in the percentage range are still accepted in the industry. In addition, a modified cost model is proposed supporting defect levels in the dpm and sub dpm range.

Jain astronomy provides an important link between Vedic astronomy and classical Hindu astronomy. Jain texts such as Jambudvipaprajnapti, Suryaprajnapti, and Chandraprajnapti have detailed information on the apparent motion of sun, moon, planets, and stars. In this book, important features of Jain astronomy have been discussed and compared with Vedic astronomy and classical Hindu astronomy. The principle behind the division of sky in nakshatras has been explained and the span of nakshatras in Jain astronomy has been calculated. Based on the changing position of sun in the background of stars during solstices and equinoxes, the date of the astronomical observations described in Jain texts has been estimated. It is proposed that the zero point of Jain astronomy as well as Malava era coincides with the yogatara of Ashwini, Hamal, being at vernal equinox in 702 BCE.
Indian astronomical texts give the coordinates of the yogataras or junction stars of nakshatras. These coordinates have been interpreted as polar coordinates, which depend on the position of the north celestial pole. Polar coordinates of a star should change with time due to precession. However, different astronomical texts written over many centuries give same coordinates for most yogataras. This has resulted in Indian astronomers being called incompetent, who did not observe the positions of the stars with accuracy. In this book it is proposed that Indian astronomers were using sidereal ecliptic coordinates, which do not change with time to a significant extent. This understanding has led to the discovery of the original boundaries of nakshatras. Based on these boundaries of nakshatras and the changing position of sun in the background of nakshatras during solstices, the dates of astronomical text Vedanga Jyotisha and astronomer Varahamihira have been reexamined. Based on the zero points of Vedic astronomy, the values of ayanamsha have been calculated.
Zero-Sum Discrete-Time Markov Games with Unknown Disturbance Distribution
J. Adolfo Minjárez-Sosa

nidottu
This SpringerBrief deals with a class of discrete-time zero-sum Markov games with Borel state and action spaces, and possibly unbounded payoffs, under discounted and average criteria, whose state process evolves according to a stochastic difference equation. The corresponding disturbance process is an observable sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with unknown distribution for both players. Unlike the standard case, the game is played over an infinite horizon evolving as follows. At each stage, once the players have observed the state of the game, and before choosing the actions, players 1 and 2 implement a statistical estimation process to obtain estimates of the unknown distribution. Then, independently, the players adapt their decisions to such estimators to select their actions and construct their strategies. This book presents a systematic analysis on recent developments in this kind of games. Specifically, the theoretical foundations on the procedures combining statistical estimation and control techniques for the construction of strategies of the players are introduced, with illustrative examples. In this sense, the book is an essential reference for theoretical and applied researchers in the fields of stochastic control and game theory, and their applications.
This book provides a concise survey of the theory of zero product-determined algebras, which has been developed over the last 15 years. It is divided into three parts. The first part presents the purely algebraic branch of the theory, the second part presents the functional analytic branch, and the third part discusses various applications. The book is intended for researchers and graduate students in ring theory, Banach algebra theory, and nonassociative algebra.

Zero – Much to Do About Nothing? is a thought-provoking work that delves into the complexities of defining “zero” in various fields, from mathematics and physics to pharmacology and food safety. Drawing on his extensive experience in teaching, research and managing a USDA-supported chemical food safety program, Jim E. Riviere provides readers with practical examples and case studies that highlight the challenges of defining “zero” in different contexts across a wide range of fields. In his four decades of university teaching, doing research in pharmacology, toxicology, biomathematics and nanoscience, Dr. Riviere has repeatedly encountered the concept of “zero” and the broad parameters utilized to achieve a proper definition. "Zero” enters when discussions concern defining "nothing", "negligible", "very small", "below level of detection", "absence of effect" or "safe". This renders the term “zero” incredibly confusing to scientists, practitioners and regulators. This book explores the origin of the concept of “zero” in mathematics, physics, chemistry and statistics and how these concepts migrated to fields such as pharmacology, toxicology, cancer research and food safety, as well as to the legal profession in the form of regulatory science and policy. Specific chapters deal with the application of “zero” to these distinct fields. The main focus throughout the book is to illustrate how important context is to the definition of “zero”. This has assumed greater relevance today with the advent of nanoscience where “small” implies different physical and chemical behavior and the use of artificial Intelligence to analyze vast troves of data from the web. The goal of the book is to provide much-needed clarity about "zero" and break down the many issues preventing it. Riviere expertly explains how the concept of “zero” is essential to a wide range of issues, from defining negligible amounts of a substance to determining the safety of a product or process. He shows how the term “zero” can have different meanings in different fields and how this can lead to confusion and misunderstandings among scientists, practitioners and regulators. Whether you're working in Food Safety, Chemistry, Pharmacology, Mathematics, Physics or beyond, Zero – Much to Do About Nothing? is a relatable book that will deepen your understanding of the concept of “zero” and its diverse applications.
