Cole never thought he'd find himself in those he was running from... Until he met Nexhan, clan leader of a legendary shifter race. After a century of vengeance, Nexhan, clan leader of the Rune Fang, returns home to find his people teetering on the edge of extinction. Still plagued by his past and his sense of failure, he has closed himself off from even his closest friend. He is desperate to return to the shifter way of life, but doesn't know how to cope with the death of his family and his lover. Cole is the typical outcast-clumsy, quiet and angry. After years of disappointing his parents with his inability to master his cougar's predatory skills, he runs from the pressure to mate a female who he's unable to love, but he never expected to end up living among the saber-toothed cats. Heck, he didn't even know they still existed. Embarrassed by his lack of skills, he retreats into himself, quietly nursing his pain. A chance meeting in the forest leads Cole to accept Nexhan's help and companionship, but he never imagined he'd be trusting the male with his deepest secrets. Nexhan vows it's just sex, but the cougar intrigues him like nothing and no one before. Can he move on and finally lay to rest his troubled past?

This work is a follow on effort of two previous Master's theses. The first was Modeling and Simulation of the Military Intelligence Process by Captain Carl Pawling in 2004. The other was A Knowledge Matrix Modeling of the Intelligence Cycle by Captain Kevin Whaley in 2005. Both of these were done to facilitate the study and analysis of the intelligence process for the National Security Space Organization (NSSO). Here, modifications are made the Pawling model to include tasking multiple intelligence sources for data collection to fulfill Requests for Information (RFIs) and fusing the collected data into one new piece of intelligence. One fusion method is the one suggested by Whaley, which simply takes the best intelligence collected, while the other method captures the synergy of intelligence fusion. Both methods are compared to each other and to the baseline model where no fusion takes place.

The studied theme in this monography is part of the geometric function theory domain. An important problem of the geometric theory of analytic functions is to study differential operators and their properties on different classes of analytic functions. A particular chapter in the differential operators study is to study the different geometric properties of some classes of analytic functions defined by these operators. The differential subordinations, superordinations, strong subordinations and strong superordinations have an important place in defining some new classes of holomorphic functions that are obtained using some generalizations of known differential operators. This monography presents the author' research regarding the differential subordinations, superordinations, strong subordinations and strong superordinations using some differential operators, obtaining new subclasses of analytic functions. This monography is addressed to researchers and graduate students for research, seminars and advanced graduate courses in complex analysis.

This book presents the concept of code and data propagation from the perspective of a group of autonomous and active beings such as agents. After the idea of propagation is fully explained it is brought to the world of a multi-agent system. Combining agent features and propagation algorithms results in real system examples, which could handle problems, where efficient communication between parts of a big structure is essential. The second part of this work focuses on an experimental system project. After the three ways of propagation in a multi-agent system are depicted and carefully analyzed, they are put to the test in solving the prime numbers searching problem. The conclusion from this book is that introducing code and data propagation into a multi-agent system in a form of agent migration in a heterogeneous network could considerably decrease the execution time. Moreover this work opens new horizons in investigating code and data propagation in conjunction with agent systems.

An accessible overview of dynamic ways that public libraries are using social networking to reach their teen patrons. More Than MySpace: Teens, Librarians, and Social Networking offers librarians not fully familiar with the broad scope of web-based social networking a way into this thriving, rapidly evolving realm—and to the lives of the teenagers who so enthusiastically inhabit it. In More Than MySpace, seven expert contributors examine the appeal of the social networking phenomena to youth, as well as its growing role in the classroom. The book then puts the spotlight on public libraries that have embraced social networking successfully, describing the approaches and methods that have helped them reach a wider teenage audience. The book concludes with an invitation for readers to continue their exploration of the topic further with a little networking of their own, collaborating with the author on a Wiki.
