In the second book of the series, Boxer is pitted against unspeakable evils...his own and the world's.

He's hired by a rich client in LaJolla to track down his runaway daughter. At the same time, Southern California is being terrorized by an elusive serial killer, who remains one step (and one victim) ahead of the police--and the FBI--who never know where he will strike, or when. His crime spree begins in the desert, outside Victorville, and ends...in L.A.

Like two trains running, the inevitable occurs, in a thrilling climax...one filled with insight, action and mayhem.

Until recently, all of the interactions between objects in virtual 3D worlds have been based on calculations performed using linear algebra. Linear algebra relies heavily on coordinates, however, which can make many geometric programming tasks very specific and complex-often a lot of effort is required to bring about even modest performance enhancements. Although linear algebra is an efficient way to specify low-level computations, it is not a suitable high-level language for geometric programming. "Geometric Algebra for Computer Science" presents a compelling alternative to the limitations of linear algebra. Geometric algebra, or GA, is a compact, time-effective, and performance-enhancing way to represent the geometry of 3D objects in computer programs. In this book you will find an introduction to GA that will give you a strong grasp of its relationship to linear algebra and its significance for your work. You will learn how to use GA to represent objects and perform geometric operations on them. And you will begin mastering proven techniques for making GA an integral part of your applications in a way that simplifies your code without slowing it down.
Explains GA as a natural extension of linear algebra and conveys its significance for 3D programming of geometry in graphics, vision, and robotics. Systematically explores the concepts and techniques that are key to representing elementary objects and geometric operators using GA. Covers in detail the conformal model, a convenient way to implement 3D geometry using a 5D representation space. Presents effective approaches to making GA an integral part of your programming. Includes numerous drills and programming exercises helpful for both students and practitioners. Companion web site includes links to GAViewer, a program that will allow you to interact with many of the 3D figures in the book, and Gaigen 2, the platform for the instructive programming exercises that conclude each chapter.

From the nano-world of rusty proteins and magnetic compasses in bacteria to the macroscopic structures of oyster shells, corals, ivory, bone and enamel, biology has evolved a new type of chemistry that brings together the synthesis and construction of hard and soft matter for the design of functionalized inorganic-organic materials. The process that gives rise to these small and large inorganic-based structures of life is called biomineralization. This book looks at the chemical principles and concepts of biomineralization and their application in the new field of biomimetic materials chemistry.

Where in the world could a fourteen year old child apply for a job which they start at the age of fifteen with no way of leaving until they are twenty seven years old? Where in the world? Great Britain. Stephen Mann writes of his experience as a boy entrant to the British Royal Navy, his despair then anger at finding that he could not escape from a world of arbitrary rules and personal violence. His humour and North London independent spirit however shines through and despite his frustrations, the cracking momentum of the book is maintained as we enjoy adventures with Stephen and his shipmates on the High Seas. This book describes Stephen's growing political awareness and his opposition to the war in Vietnam and also charts the battle to make a barbaric system of virtually press ganging children for 12 years, become a thing of the past. Stephen explains: "I was in the Royal Navy for five years and ninety three days, which is five years and ninety two days longer than I had wanted to be. "This was the 1960s. The music was fantastic, the fashion fabulous and revolution, freedom and equality were at the top of the political agenda. However, it was also a time when working class boys were encouraged to join the armed forces at the age of fifteen - and what many of these boys didn't fully realise was that once they'd signed on the dotted line there was no way out. For them the 1960s were not so great and a brutal and sadistic regime awaited them in their first year of training. "Whilst some boys accepted their fate, others tried to escape. The people I served with did so in a variety of ways - by pretending to be daft, punching Officers, deliberately disabling themselves or they just deserted. "As the political and anti-war movements of the 1960s began to influence me, my way out of the Royal Navy would take a different and surprising course." Sadism, Songs and Stolen Liberty is the story of these 'reluctant servicemen', their hardships and escapades - evocatively set against the unforgettable musical soundtrack of an era. Stephen concludes: "It was these wonderful songs of the 1960s that lifted my spirits, kept me sane and allowed me to mentally escape the worse times. I will be indebted to them forever."

SharePoint 2013 is very robust and powerful. All of this robustness and power comes with a price: resources. If you have twenty available servers and can scale-out like crazy, you shouldn't have any problems.

Therefore, it is important to tweak and configure SharePoint 2013 such that you get the performance and functionality without utilizing too many resources. This book explores various areas and options within SharePoint that may be modified, throttled, and/or disabled such that minimal resource usage is achieved in both Development/QA environments as well as Production.
