longest-running dictatorship? What impact did the football
community have in bringing the atrocities of Latin America's
cruellest dictators to global attention? Football historian and
author Chris Lee shines a spotlight on the roles of players, fans,
coaches and officials in the fight against the dictatorships of
Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, Salazar and authoritarian states in
Latin America, bringing us an intriguing cast of rebels, partisans,
spies and activists. Featuring interviews with leading authors and
academics, fans and progressive football clubs, The Defiant shows

His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Lord High
Admiral of the United Kingdom (his full title is 136 words long) is
the oldest-ever male member of the British Royal Family, as well as
by far the longest-serving and oldest spouse of a reigning British
monarch. After 66 years of marriage to the Queen (who calls him her
'constant strength and guide'), he is so revered around the world
that one community in the South Seas worships him as a god.
Although his direct, no-nonsense approach to life has put many
noses out of joint and frequently made headlines, his witticisms
and occasional gaffes have helped to endear him to the British
people almost as much as the Queen. Learn all about the public and
private Prince Philip in this fascinating book
When H.G Wells published his science-fiction classic The War of the
Worlds, we were seized by a global fascination with
extra-terrestrial life. The age of the alien had begun. In All
About Aliens, the truth about alien life is revealed. From the
origins of the alien concept from ancient myth right up to our
ongoing hunt for cosmic neighbours in the modern day, this book is
full of information that will give alien enthusiasts or sceptics
plenty to think about. Ever wondered what an alien would really
look like? What is the truth behind crop circles and UFO sightings?
Is it scientifically possible for other life to exist? Answering
these questions and many more, this book takes an honest look at
our bug-eyed green friends and distinguishes the sense from the
pseudoscience in this easy-to-read book on aliens. The All About
series tackles those intriguing topics we all love to think about.
All About Aliens takes a close look into that most fascinating of
question: are we really alone in the universe?
Many complex aeronautical design problems can be formulated with
efficient multi-objective evolutionary optimization methods and
game strategies. This book describes the role of advanced
innovative evolution tools in the solution, or the set of solutions
of single or multi disciplinary optimization. These tools use the
concept of multi-population, asynchronous parallelization and
hierarchical topology which allows different models including
precise, intermediate and approximate models with each node
belonging to the different hierarchical layer handled by a
different Evolutionary Algorithm. The efficiency of evolutionary
algorithms for both single and multi-objective optimization
problems are significantly improved by the coupling of EAs with
games and in particular by a new dynamic methodology named
“Hybridized Nash-Pareto gamesâ€. Multi objective Optimization
techniques and robust design problems taking into account
uncertainties are introduced and explained in detail.Â
Several applications dealing with civil aircraft and UAV, UCAV
systems are implemented numerically and discussed.Â
Applications of increasing optimization complexity are presented as
well as two hands-on test cases problems. These examples focus on
aeronautical applications and will be useful to the practitioner in
the laboratory or in industrial design environments. The
evolutionary methods coupled with games presented in this volume
can be applied to other areas including surface and marine
transport, structures, biomedical engineering, renewable energy and
environmental problems. This book will be of interest to students,
young scientists and engineers involved in the field of multi
physics optimization.

Though boasting a smaller student body than most other Southeastern
Conference schools, Vanderbilt University's spirit and passion is
without bounds and with good reason. This book highlights several
Vandy sports programs whose teams have shined over the course of
the school's athletic history and the players and coaches who have
been a part of them. Most recently, the baseball team accomplished
what no other VU men's team had done before in capturing the
school's first-ever national championship. Author Chris Lee details
the 2014 College World Series run as well as the years leading up
to the feat, with stars like 2012 American League Cy Young Award
winner David Price and Pedro Alvarez, also an alumnus and a member
of the 2013 National League All-Star team. Vandy has had recent
success on the football field as well. Under coach James Franklin,
the Commodores had their first sold-out season opener since 1999.
In 2012, the squad tied the school record for most wins and
finished in the top 25 poll, en route to a bowl game for the second
straight year, and followed that with another bowl victory and a
Top-25 finish in 2013. The men's basketball team has also offered a
lot of excitement of late. In 2011 2012, the squad boasted the top
two scorers in the conference in John Jenkins and Jeffrey Taylor,
both of whom were drafted to the NBA. The team won the SEC
Tournament title that season, beating conference rival Kentucky. On
the women's side, the team made it to the second round of the NCAA
Tournament in 2013, marking the 11th time in as many seasons that
coach Melanie Balcomb has led the team to at least 20 wins and an
NCAA berth. In this latest addition to the Tales From series, Chris
Lee highlights these athletes and coaches and so many others who
have become part of Commodore lore. It's perfect for the fan of the
black and gold! Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports

This book highlights the genomic findings, observations, and
analysis of DNA/RNA sequences and protein structure of the dreadful
virus of this decade- COVID-19. The Corona group of viruses though
known species, the strain that caused the Pandemic of 2019 is a
completely new strain, belonging to the same corona family with a
novel genetic make-up. This makes it a new pathogen which is
causing the current outbreak leaving the global scientific
community clueless of any therapeutic breakthrough. NCOV enjoys
life threatening pathogenicity with mysterious genetic annotations.
This book details and offers insights into its viral genetic
arrangement, Virulence factors, probable mutations leading to the
evolution of this new strain and more. It contains chapters on
Virus evolutionary status and Genetic makeup leading to its
pathogenicity which can be a new insight in understanding the
nature of this clever microorganism and can pave way to the
development of new drugs and Vaccines or a novel diagnostic
approach for the early prognosis of the disease. A dedicated
chapter on annotation of NCOV-19 virulence genes, translation of
the genes to protein product, annotation of the antigenic sites on
these proteins is also included. In all, this brief is a complete
genomic annotation insight of NCOV-19 using AI, Data analytics and
Bioinformatics analysis. In the current situation, this book is an
extensive preliminary resource for Medical practitioners,
Researchers, Academicians, Scientists, Biochemists,
Bioinformaticians and other professionals interested in
understanding the genetics of Novel Coronavirus 19, the best
possible drug targets, ideal vaccine candidates and novel
prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers.
