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 games". Multi objective Optimization
techniques and robust design problems taking into account
uncertainties are introduced and explained in detail. Several
applications dealing with civil aircraft and UAV, UCAV systems are
implemented numerically and discussed. 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.
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?

Origin Stories: The Pioneers Who Took Football to the World charts
the growth of the game in each major footballing country, from the
very first kick to the first World Cup in 1930. Football's global
spread from muddy playing fields to colossal, purpose-built
stadiums is a story of class, race, gender and politics. Along the
way, you'll meet the people who established football around the
world and discover the challenges they faced. Featuring interviews
with leading historians, journalists, club chairmen and descendants
of club founders and players, Origin Stories tells the fascinating
country-by-country tale of how football put down its roots around
the world. The sport's early growth includes a cast of English
aristocrats and 'Scotch professors', French tournament pioneers,
international merchants, keen students, raucous rebels and more.
Origin Stories shows that football's early development was a truly
global team effort.
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.

When something magical happens and there's no one there to see it,
how do you get people to believe? That's the spot Cee Cee finds
herself in after she has an unexpected encounter with some flying,

Fantasy football has become one of my favorite pastimes of tens of
millions of American males, and there are literally hundreds of
websites, books, magazines, and television shows designed to tell
you everything you need to know about the subject. Almost
everything, that is. Anyone who has ever tried to find a definitive
way to rank players for their fantasy draft-- or worse, find dollar
values for auction-style leagues - knows the difficulty of finding
a system that works for their leagues. Because leagues vary
according to size, rules, and scoring systems, a player who may be
a valuable commodity in one league may be below average in another.
Therefore, the "one size fits all" rankings or valuations that you
see most places can be useless. And even if those rankings were
designed specifically for leagues like yours, values and rankings
are normally assigned in a subjective manner, without any
mathematical evidence to support the author's case. The Winner's
Guide to Drafting a Fantasy Football Team has a timeless solution
to the problem of finding customized and accurate rankings and
dollar values that work for any fantasy league. Author Chris Lee
explains what constitutes value, and how that value can be
translated to rankings and dollar values for any league, in a
common-sense way that removes the guesswork that's at the
foundation of most ranking and dollar valuation systems. Simply
put, if you know what kind of statistics a player is going to
produce in the coming year, you'll know where to draft him or how
much to pay for him at your draft. This proven system has helped
Chris win many leagues. By following the steps in this book, you
can build a spreadsheet that will help you win yours as well..
The Winner's Guide in Fantasy Baseball is the most comprehensive
guide on the market to one of America's favorite hobbies. Where are
the best websites to find fantasy baseball information? Which
pre-season publications are worth your dollar? What should you look
for in evaluating major and minor-league players? How do you value
players for your league and adjust for draft inflation? How should
you react when your league's draft isn't going your way? The
Winner's Guide to Fantasy Baseball not only tackles these issues,
but walks you through the "how's" and "why's" of each so that
owners learn to think for themselves. If winning a league title is
your ultimate goal, this book will help get you there.
