Dinosaurs ruled the earth for about 165 million years. They have
fascinated people for hundreds of years, which is why there are so
many myths and legends surrounding these fantastic creatures. Let's
find out what the dinosaurs were really like. This book explains
about dinosaurs in a way that is clear and easy to understand,
separating fact from fiction. At the same time you will enjoy the
fun games, colouring in and activities.
The challenge of dividing an asset fairly, from cakes to more
important properties, is of great practical importance in many
situations. Since the famous Polish school of mathematicians
(Steinhaus, Banach, and Knaster) introduced and described
algorithms for the fair division problem in the 1940s, the concept
has been widely popularized.
This book gathers into one readable and inclusive source a
comprehensive discussion of the state of the art in cake-cutting
problems for both the novice and the professional. It offers a
complete treatment of all cake-cutting algorithms under all the
considered definitions of "fair" and presents them in a coherent,
reader-friendly manner. Robertson and Webb have brought this
elegant problem to life for both the bright high school student and
the professional researcher.
The 5G Myth explains why the vision of 5G, the next generation in
mobile telephony, heralded as a huge advance in global
connectivity, is flawed and sets out a better vision for a
connected future. It explains why insufficient technological
advances and inadequate profitability will be problems in the
widespread implementation of 5G. The book advocates a focus on
consistent connectivity everywhere rather than fast speeds in city
centers. William Webb looks back at the transitions through
previous generations of mobile telephony and shows what simple
extrapolations of trends would predict for 5G. He discusses whether
the increases in speed and capacity promised by 5G are needed; if
the required technology is available; whether a sound business case
can be made for the deployment; and asks why, given this, the
industry appears so supportive of 5G. He then puts forth the
argument in favor of consistent connectivity of around 10Mbits/s
everywhere as a more compelling vision and shows how it can be
delivered via a mix of 4G and Wi-Fi. Subscribers to The Economist
