Author: Stuart A. Reid
Narrator: Michael Boatman

A spellbinding work of history that comes across like a Cold War spy thriller-about the U.S.-sanctioned Description to assassinate the democratically elected leader of the newly independent Congo. It was supposed to be a moment of great optimism, a cause for jubilation. The Congo was at last being set free from Belgium-one of seventeen countries to gain independence in 1960 from ruling European powers. At the helm as prime minister was charismatic nationalist Patrice Lumumba. Just days after the handover, however, the Congo’s new army mutinied, Belgian forces intervened, and Lumumba turned to the United Nations for help in saving his newborn nation from what the press was already calling "the Congo crisis." Dag Hammarskjöld, the tidy Swede serving as UN secretary-general, quickly arranged the organization’s biggest peacekeeping mission in history. But chaos was still spreading.

Learning with the Minimum Description Length Principle


Free Download Learning with the Minimum Description Length Principle
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819917891 | 562 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 43 MB
This book introduces readers to the minimum description length (MDL) principle and its applications in learning. The MDL is a fundamental principle for inductive inference, which is used in many applications including statistical modeling, pattern recognition and machine learning. At its core, the MDL is based on the premise that "the shortest code length leads to the best strategy for learning anything from data." The MDL provides a broad and unifying view of statistical inferences such as estimation, prediction and testing and, of course, machine learning.

English | PDF (True) | 2002 | 395 Pages | ISBN : 1402070896 | 7.8 MB
The Verilog language is a hardware description language that provides a means of specifying a digital system at a wide range of levels of abstraction. The language supports the early conceptual stages of design with its behavioral level of abstraction, and the later implementation stages with its structural abstractions. The language includes hierarchical constructs, allowing the designer to control a description’s complexity.

The Optimal Design of Blocked and Split-Description Experiments


Free Download The Optimal Design of Blocked and Split-Description Experiments by Peter Goos
English | PDF (True) | 2002 | 256 Pages | ISBN : 0387955151 | 19.6 MB
Quality has become an important source of competitive advantage for the modern company. Therefore, quality control has become one of its key ac tivities. Since the control of existing products and processes only allows moderate quality improvements, the optimal design of new products and processes has become extremely important. This is because the flexibility, which characterizes the design stage, allows the quality to be built in prod ucts and processes. In this way, substantial quality improvements can be achieved. An indispensable technique in the design stage of a product or a process is the statistically designed experiment for investigating the effect of sev eral factors on a quality characteristic. A number of standard experimental designs like, for instance, the factorial designs and the central compos ite designs have been proposed. Although these designs possess excellent properties, they can seldom be used in practice. One reason is that using standard designs requires a large number of observations and can therefore be expensive or time-consuming. Moreover, standard experimental designs cannot be used when both quantitative and qualitative factors are to be in vestigated or when the factor levels are subject to one or more constraints.
