The Immediate Distance

The Immediate Distance

James N. Quinn

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
What is hiding behind the curtain of the stars? Are we all alone in this universe? How far are we willing to go to find something... more?Tens of Billions are transfixed by the Halifax Zone-an unknown space shrouded by an uncharted nebula. The Sapien Republic, a loose fabric draped over the newly spacefaring human race, has stopped the flow of people and information through the Halifax Nebula; this has only magnified the public's curiosity. Massive silent freighters pass in and out of the HZ under government contract and supervision, but where the money comes from continues to remain a mystery...Brandon Cailan is a man passed over by humankind's march to colonize the galaxy. Robert Thade is the optimist that Brandon used to be, young and excited about everything just out of sight. Both men dream of more meaning beyond the horizon, and with the Republic standing in the way the Halifax Zone seems like the place to find it. Whether the future holds new intelligent life or a pending gold rush, Brandon and Robb might just be the first to make it through to find out...The Immediate Distance is sci-fi tale for those who grew up with space operas and westerns and explores how this canon of stories influences our different visions of what's to come. Full of humanity and familiarity, and as much a reflection on our lives today as it is an exploration of where we may go tomorrow, The Immediate Distance is the summer read for the dreamer in all of us.

Experiments are a central methodology in the social sciences. Scholars from every discipline regularly turn to experiments. Practitioners rely on experimental evidence in evaluating social programs, policies, and institutions. This book is about how to “think” about experiments. It argues that designing a good experiment is a slow moving process (given the host of considerations) which is counter to the current fast moving temptations available in the social sciences. The book includes discussion of the place of experiments in the social science process, the assumptions underlying different types of experiments, the validity of experiments, the application of different designs, how to arrive at experimental questions, the role of replications in experimental research, and the steps involved in designing and conducting “good” experiments. The goal is to ensure social science research remains driven by important substantive questions and fully exploits the potential of experiments in a thoughtful manner.

A Problem-Solving Approach to Aquatic Chemistry Enables civil and environmental engineers to understand the theory and application of aquatic equilibrium chemistry The second edition of A Problem-Solving Approach to Aquatic Chemistry provides a detailed introduction to aquatic equilibrium chemistry, calculation methods for systems at equilibrium, applications of aquatic chemistry, and chemical kinetics. The text directly addresses two required ABET program outcomes in environmental engineering: “… chemistry (including stoichiometry, equilibrium, and kinetics)” and “material and energy balances, fate and transport of substances in and between air, water, and soil phases.” The book is very student-centered, with each chapter beginning with an introduction and ending with a summary that reviews the chapter’s main points. To aid in reader comprehension, important terms are defined in context and key ideas are summarized. Many thought-provoking discussion questions, worked examples, and end of chapter problems are also included. Each part of the text begins with a case study, a portion of which is addressed in each subsequent chapter, illustrating the principles of that chapter. In addition, each chapter has an Historical Note exploring connections with the people and cultures connected to topics in the text. A Problem-Solving Approach to Aquatic Chemistry includes: Fundamental concepts, such as concentration units, thermodynamic basis of equilibrium, and manipulating equilibria Solutions of chemical equilibrium problems, including setting up the problems and algebraic, graphical, and computer solution techniques Acid–base equilibria, including the concepts of acids and bases, titrations, and alkalinity and acidity Complexation, including metals, ligands, equilibrium calculations with complexes, and applications of complexation chemistry Oxidation-reduction equilibria, including equilibrium calculations, graphical approaches, and applications Gas–liquid and solid–liquid equilibrium, with expanded coverage of the effects of global climate change Other topics, including chemical kinetics of aquatic systems, surface chemistry, and integrative case studies For advanced/senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students in environmental engineering courses, A Problem-Solving Approach to Aquatic Chemistry serves as an invaluable learning resource on the topic, with a variety of helpful learning elements included throughout to ensure information retention and the ability to apply covered concepts in practical settings.

Security for Software Engineers

Security for Software Engineers

Security for Software Engineers is designed to introduce security concepts to undergraduate software engineering students. The book is divided into four units, each targeting activities that a software engineer will likely be involved in within industry. The book explores the key areas of attack vectors, code hardening, privacy, and social engineering. Each topic is explored from a theoretical and a practical-application standpoint. Features: Targets software engineering students - one of the only security texts to target this audience. Focuses on the white-hat side of the security equation rather than the black-hat side. Includes many practical and real-world examples that easily translate into the workplace. Covers a one-semester undergraduate course. Describes all aspects of computer security as it pertains to the job of a software engineer and presents problems similar to that which an engineer will encounter in the industry.This text will equip students to make knowledgeable security decisions, be productive members of a security review team, and write code that protects a user’s information assets.

A Beginner's Guide to the MMPI-2

A Beginner's Guide to the MMPI-2

In clear, accessible language, this book introduces readers to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), the most widely researched and broadly used personality assessment instrument. Several updates have been made since the previous edition of this popular book, including new interpretive information, new areas for application, and-most importantly-a new chapter on the MMPI-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF), a separate short instrument that beginners may confuse with the MMPI-2. Case studies are used to illustrate major concepts.
