R is the amazing, free, open-access software package for scientific graphs and calculations used by scientists worldwide. The R Student Companion is a student-oriented manual describing how to use R in high school and college science and mathematics courses. Written for beginners in scientific computation, the book assumes the reader has just some high school algebra and has no computer programming background. The author presents applications drawn from all sciences and social sciences and includes the most often used features of R in an appendix. In addition, each chapter provides a set of computational challenges: exercises in R calculations that are designed to be performed alone or in groups. Several of the chapters explore algebra concepts that are highly useful in scientific applications, such as quadratic equations, systems of linear equations, trigonometric functions, and exponential functions. Each chapter provides an instructional review of the algebra concept, followed by a hands-on guide to performing calculations and graphing in R. R is intuitive, even fun. Fantastic, publication-quality graphs of data, equations, or both can be produced with little effort. By integrating mathematical computation and scientific illustration early in a student’s development, R use can enhance one''s understanding of even the most difficult scientific concepts. While R has gained a strong reputation as a package for statistical analysis, The R Student Companion approaches R more completely as a comprehensive tool for scientific computing and graphing.

Nubs, an Iraqi dog of war, never had a home or a person of his own. He was the leader of a pack of wild dogs living off the land and barely surviving. But Nubs''s life changed when he met Marine Major Brian Dennis. The two formed a fast friendship, made stronger by Dennis''s willingness to share his meals, offer a warm place to sleep, and give Nubs the kind of care and attention he had never received before. Nubs became part of Dennis''s human "pack" until duty required the Marines to relocate a full 70 miles away--without him. Nubs had no way of knowing that Marines were not allowed to have pets. So began an incredible journey that would take Nubs through a freezing desert, filled with danger tofind his friend and would lead Dennis on a mission that would touch the hearts of people all over the world. Nubs and Dennis will remind readers that friendship has the power to cross deserts, continents, and even species.

The fact that surprisingly few Christians actually know and experience the mighty God we preach about, teach about, and sing about is evidenced by the abundance of doubt, worry, and fear that permeate our lives. It is evidenced by the lack of faith and power exemplified in our Churches. It is evidenced by the ordinary lives we live while claiming to be children of the most high God. The resulting inconsistencies between the things we boldly profess and the things we commonly practice have unfortunately become accepted as normal Christian behavior. We no longer expect anything more--not from our own lives, not from the Church, not even from God Himself. This lack of expectancy, this lack of faith in the faithfulness of God clearly indicates a distinct difference between the God we preach and the God we have personally come to know. It reveals that we do not know the very God we proclaim. We do not know the God of the Bible; for if we knew Him, the Church would indeed be an eminent light shining in the darkness, a city set on a hill, an indelible force against which the powers of this present evil world could not prevail. The God we do know, however, the God with whom so many Christians have become familiar, unfortunately, allows us to live comfortably in the weakness of our complacency and blatant disbelief. We live far below the high calling that Christ has placed upon His Church. We walk in ways that deny the very power and authority that belong to the children of God. We do not live by faith. Sadly, we have learned to live in such a way as to where there is no distinguishable difference between the lives of those who claim to know Christ and the lives of those who do not--no distinguishable difference between the Church and the world. The good news is that the truth remains. The God of the Bible is still there. He can do no other than prove Himself faithful to those who hunger and thirst after righteousness--to those who hear His voice and obey. Yes, to those who would yet have a heart to know Him, He is there to be known. We must first, however, lay aside all notions of the small God we have come to know and we must dare to see Him as He is if we are to rise above the routine of cultural Christianity and walk in the truth of knowing Christ.

It is impossible to predict the exact behavior of all biological systems and how these same systems are exemplified by patterns of complexity and regularity. Decades of research in ecology have documented how these sorts of patterns are the consequences of deceptively simple rules that determine the nature of the patterns created. Chaos in Ecology will explain how simple beginnings result in complicated results. Chaos in Ecology is the inaugural volume of Theoretical Ecology Series. The authors of this volume have employed data from a proven model system in population dynamics. As a result, this book will be of interest to anyone interested in the ecology of populations. - It is impossible to predict the exact behavior of almost all biological systems and yet these same systems are exemplified by patterns of complexity and regularity. Decades of research in ecology have documented that these sorts of patterns are the consequence of deceptively simple rules that determine the nature of the patterns created. In essence, simple beginnings result in complicated results - This realization is captured in the mathematical notion of "chaos" and is rendered intuitive by the oft-repeated metaphor: "A butterfly beats its wings in China and causing a thunderstorm in the Midwest." Thus, seemingly trivial initial conditions (e.g. a butterfly in China) cascade through a series of intermediate events to create a significant large-scale event (e.g. a thunderstorm) - Chaos in Ecology is the inaugural volume of Theoretical Ecology Series.

Proyectos sonoros de Brian Dennis es una guía innovadora destinada a maestros de escuelas primarias y secundarias, independientemente de su experiencia musical. Este libro ofrece un enfoque creativo que permite a educadores y alumnos explorar el sonido a través de proyectos interactivos. Con notaciones pictóricas y símbolos únicos, las propuestas son accesibles para todos, desde principiantes hasta músicos experimentados. Cada proyecto, desde "Lluvia" hasta "Maquinas", estimula la imaginación y fomenta la participación activa. Descubre una forma divertida de integrar la música en el aula y permite que tus alumnos se conviertan en creadores sonoros. Dado que este libro se dirige tanto a las escuelas primarias como a los alumnos adolescentes de las escuelas secundarias, se supone que no todos los maestros que lo utilicen sean especialistas en música. La propuesta es en realidad suficientemente radical como para que hasta el músico más competente, al igual que el docente lego, puedan comenzar desde el principio. A pesar de que unas pocas piezas de proyecto requieren un conocimiento elemental de la notación convencional, la mayoría de ellas recurre a imágenes pictóricas y símbolos especialmente diseñados. A simple vista, hasta podrán parecer particularmente insólitas para un musico, mientras que un examen más detenido revelara una deliberada simplicidad. incluso los más complicados (hay una leve graduación desde el principio al fin del libro) son fáciles de ejecutar, siempre que se sigan cuidadosamente las instrucciones para cada uno. Esperamos en realidad que la variedad de los recursos de notación refleje el carácter inventivo del acceso al proyecto, el cual los niños se verán alentados a emular. Contenido: Proyecto 1: Lluvia, Proyecto 2: Planos. Proyecto 3: Grutas. Proyecto 4: Esquemas. Proyecto 5: Viento. Proyecto 6: Viajes. Proyecto 7: Encantamientos. Proyecto 8: Móviles. Proyecto 9: Mar. Proyecto 10: Relojes. Proyecto 11: Reflejos. Proyecto 12: Maquinas.

Set in the near future, "2198 A Memoir from the Second Revolution, is an uncompromising, often gritty and explosive look into the lives of Benjamin and Lena Bradford as they join and fight as shadow warriors in the world''s newest and most powerful Private Military Security Corporation, Paradigm, in a race to defeat both foreign and domestic threats as America, and the world, falls into economic and political chaos. Driven by the desire to hold onto the life they are slowly losing and patriotism for a country they love, they take up arms to fight for an ideal that may no longer exist.

A Vampire Novel that Changes EverythingWhat is forever anyways? To anyone? Ianthe Gold is a Vampire who will do anything to save her one true love, Charlotte Bell Aberdeen. To finally be united with a love that she has been chasing over the millennia, through time and space. Now, she has found the chance to reunite with Charlotte and keep her promise of forever that she had made to her, the soul within, so long ago. But God, as always, has other plans. WITHOUT, is an epic journey set in the modern day. It eloquently and boldly captures both the beauty and the horror of life, this cosmic journey of the flesh, and the soul within God¿s grand design. Gritty, ugly, and languishing are just a few emotions evoked as we witness the rise and fall of life and love.

What is a poem? A memory of the flesh that portrays deceits of love and lust? Or flashes of memories of the soul that no one can see except through words that dance across the page? A poem is different for everyone. Means something different to each who recites the passion of the Poet. We read poetry to escape the mundane. We write it to provide an avenue of sharing tears and triumphs. Nothing expresses heart and soul more than poetry. Enjoy!

What are poems, if not memories of the soul ? A voice, speaking to a life once lived, or yet to be lived. Of love and lust. Of broken relationships long lost to the winds of time, forever haunting. Brian Dennis Hartford''s Collection of Poems does just this, as he takes the reader on a journey into the far past and sometimes the future, of which are unforgiving in the whispers of lost promises. Where souls are crushed upon battle fields in epic feats of daring or in the mourning of life''s inevitable passing''s left to languish, ever waiting for a time when two souls might be whole again.
