Triple bill of zombie films. 'Zombie Apocalypse' (2011) is a made-for-TV horror starring Ving Rhames in which a group of human survivors of a zombie outbreak set out to make it to an uninfected island. Ramona (Taryn Manning), Billy (Eddie Steeples) and Kevin (Gerald Webb) are almost killed when they head out to search for food. Fortunately for them, they meet a tough group that includes Henry (Rhames) and Cassie (Lesley-Ann Brandt), who take on the zombies with weapons as diverse as a sledgehammer and a samurai sword. 'Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies' (2012) is a tongue-in-cheek zombie horror in which Abraham Lincoln is distracted from his composition of the Gettysburg Address by a more pressing concern - an outbreak of the undead. Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) leads a team of Secret Service agents to the area to try and contain the disaster. There is a suggestion that Lincoln may have some experience of dealing with zombies from his past and he takes under his wing a youngster by the name of Teddy Roosevelt (Canon Kuipers), who may have a role of his own to play in the American story. 'The Dead' (2010) is a zombie horror set in West Africa. Robert Freeman stars as Lieutenant Brian Murphy, a military engineer who finds himself stranded in the wilderness of Burkina Faso after a zombie outbreak lays waste to civilisation. Eventually he teams up with Sergeant Daniel Dembele (Prince David Oseia), a local soldier who has gone AWOL from the army to search for his missing son.

Learn algorithms for solving classic computer science problems with this concise guide covering everything from fundamental algorithms, such as sorting and searching, to modern algorithms used in machine learning and cryptography Key Features Learn the techniques you need to know to design algorithms for solving complex problems Become familiar with neural networks and deep learning techniques Explore different types of algorithms and choose the right data structures for their optimal implementation Book DescriptionAlgorithms have always played an important role in both the science and practice of computing. Beyond traditional computing, the ability to use algorithms to solve real-world problems is an important skill that any developer or programmer must have. This book will help you not only to develop the skills to select and use an algorithm to solve real-world problems but also to understand how it works. You'll start with an introduction to algorithms and discover various algorithm design techniques, before exploring how to implement different types of algorithms, such as searching and sorting, with the help of practical examples. As you advance to a more complex set of algorithms, you'll learn about linear programming, page ranking, and graphs, and even work with machine learning algorithms, understanding the math and logic behind them. Further on, case studies such as weather prediction, tweet clustering, and movie recommendation engines will show you how to apply these algorithms optimally. Finally, you'll become well versed in techniques that enable parallel processing, giving you the ability to use these algorithms for compute-intensive tasks. By the end of this book, you'll have become adept at solving real-world computational problems by using a wide range of algorithms. What you will learn Explore existing data structures and algorithms found in Python libraries Implement graph algorithms for fraud detection using network analysis Work with machine learning algorithms to cluster similar tweets and process Twitter data in real time Predict the weather using supervised learning algorithms Use neural networks for object detection Create a recommendation engine that suggests relevant movies to subscribers Implement foolproof security using symmetric and asymmetric encryption on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Who this book is forThis book is for programmers or developers who want to understand the use of algorithms for problem-solving and writing efficient code. Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the most commonly used algorithms in a clear and concise way or an experienced programmer looking to explore cutting-edge algorithms in data science, machine learning, and cryptography, you'll find this book useful. Although Python programming experience is a must, knowledge of data science will be helpful but not necessary.

The main objective of this study is to highlight the dilemmas posed by the malevolent policy of apartheid. The study aims to highlight the broad-term effects of the policy of apartheid not only on the socio-political and historical arenas of South Africa but also on the literature produced during the era of apartheid. The study aims to give a comprehensive expose of the authoritative regime of apartheid and its evil manifestations. Above all, the study aims to show how Coetzee highlights, interrogates and castigates the colonial practices and constructed power structures and how far Coetzee succeeds in fulfilling the intellectual commitment of highlighting the socio-political dilemmas engendered by the malevolent beast of apartheid. Moreover, the study aims to analyze the various postcolonial and postmodern strategies that the writer takes recourse to in order to dismantle and deconstruct."

This book outlines the production and quality evaluation of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (ACPY), a major component of aromatic rice flavors by microbial cultures. Various effects of chemical and physical parameters on ACPY production and microencapsulation of ACPY by various techniques are discussed. Improvement of rice flavor with natural pandan and its applications, and the supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of ACPY and volatile components from pandan leaves are also included. Finally, control and measurement using electronic nose for Thai rice and its other applications are reviewed.

Simple and inexpensive techniques based on the monitoring of change in color of milk in methylene blue dye reduction test due to metabolic activity of the viable bacterial cells and routine analysis such as travel time, temperature of milk, solid-not-fat, %fat, acidity and specific gravity are presented in this book. The change in dye color was recorded as voltage signal of a specially designed light sensing probe (LSP) for about 40 min. Subsequently, the output voltage of LSP was interfaced with a PC to predict and display the SPC (cfu/ml) and MBRT (h) of raw milk along with its quality grade in real time. The predictions of raw milk quality grades based on the calibration of LSP output voltage with SPC and MBRT were in good agreement with actual grades showing considerable promise for this novel assessment technique. Also, data mining techniques can be applied to predict raw milk quality in terms of MBRT from the independent parameters of raw milk quality. Various data mining techniques used to predict microbial quality against the actual observed quality to classify milk into 4 quality grades.

Depression among elderly primary care patients is a serious problem with significant morbidity and mortality, yet it is underdiagnosed and undertreated. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of major depression and its associated risk factors among the elderly patients, age 60 and above attending outpatient clinic, Klinik Rawatan Keluarga at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. This study utilized M-GDS-14, the translated and validated version of GDS-15, to screen for elderly depression among Malaysian population. Out of 244 subjects, 34 or 13.9% were found to have depression. Elderly patient with any illness that limits the patient's activity or mobility has more risk of developing depression (OR 2.68 CI 1.15 - 6.24). Elderly patients who were satisfied with their personal incomes (OR 0.29 CI 0.10 - 0.85), and who had children or son/daughter-in-law to take care of them when they are sick (OR 0.10 CI 0.01 - 0.83) have a lower chance of having depression. Screening the elderly for depression, would help in diagnosing the elderly depression better and offer them the treatment needed.
