Sinopse

What Is Self Replicating Machine

A self-replicating machine is a sort of autonomous robot that is capable of reproducing itself autonomously utilizing raw materials available in the environment. As a result, a self-replicating machine demonstrates self-replication in a manner that is akin to that which may be found in nature. The idea of self-replicating machines has been developed and investigated by Homer Jacobson, Edward F. Moore, Freeman Dyson, John von Neumann, and Konrad Zuse, as well as more recently by K. Eric Drexler in his book on nanotechnology titled Engines of Creation, as well as by Robert Freitas and Ralph Merkle in their review Kinematic Self-Replicating Machines, which provided the first comprehensive analysis of the entire replicator design space. The future development of such technology is an essential component of a number of schemes involving the extraction of ore and other resources from moons and asteroid belts, the establishment of manufacturing facilities on the moon, and even the building of solar power satellites in space. These plans are all reliant on the future progress of this technology. The von Neumann probe is a conceptual illustration of one hypothetical example of such a machine. In addition to this, Von Neumann worked on a project that he referred to as the universal constructor. This was a self-replicating machine that would be capable of evolving, and it was an environment that was codified using cellular automata. Notably, Von Neumann's Self-Reproducing Automata scheme proposed that in order for open-ended evolution to occur, inherited information must be copied and passed on to offspring in a manner that is distinct from the self-replicating machine. This realization came before Watson and Crick's discovery of the structure of the DNA molecule and how it is independently translated and replicated in the cell.

Estimating Construction...

Michaela Stone

Estimating the cost of a project is critical to your business success. Done correctly, your company is profitable. Done wrong, you lose money. Michael Stone, a successful construction business consultant and trainer, shares his years of experience estimating residential projects in this manual.
If you're estimating remodeling, renovation, new homes, specialty work, or light commercial projects, this book is for you. The book is divided into multiple short chapters for easy reference, discussing:methods of estimatingdetails to tie downestimating laborlabor rates, how to calculate and which to useworking with other contractorsaccounting for errorsadjusting for difficultymaterial and installed allowancesmuch more
Estimating isn't difficult when you have a system. The purpose of this book is to help you create that system. It's an approach that helps you estimate without having to think about the process. An orderly approach makes estimating easier and more accurate.
Estimating is work, requiring dedication, focus, and practice to get right. It isn't as difficult when you have a system in place. The size of the project might vary but the process doesn't change. This book is about learning the process.
This book doesn't guarantee perfect estimates or a profit on your jobs. It's up to you to do the work. By following the principles, the system you develop will improve the ease and accuracy of your estimates, and that will make your company more profitable.
Written and narrated by Michael Stone, author of Markup & Profit; A Contractor’s Guide Revisited, a top-selling business management book for the construction industry, and Profitable Sales: A Contractor's Guide, a guide to successfully navigating the world of residential remodeling and specialty sales.

Walking Wild - Hiking the length...

Jose A Neves

"A must-read for anyone who loves Kruger and adventure." - Tony Park
WALKING WILD is not your typical safari - no game drives, no cool sundowners and definitely no fences. Instead, it's 605 km of dust, sweat and unforgettable moments as an unlikely group of strangers sets out to walk the entire length of Kruger National Park. Over six stages and three years, they walked from Crooks' Corner in the far north to Malelane in the south, averaging 20 km a day with heavy backpacks and only the wild for company.
Led by two armed guides, they braved blistering heat and violent storms. At night, as hyenas nosed their tents and lionesses strolled right through camp, some slept soundly - others lay wide eyed, waiting for dawn. They drank from murky trickles in dry riverbeds, navigated thick riverine bush teeming with hippo, buffalo and crocodiles, and slowly learnt to read the bush - from the smallest antlion to the distant roar of a lion.
But Kruger's wilderness is not without its challenges. Poachers - both criminal syndicates and those in search of bushmeat - move in the shadows, rivers bring pollution from beyond its borders, and conservation battles rage on. WALKING WILD captures the magic and the madness of life on foot in one of the world's most iconic national parks. It's a story of adventure, camaraderie and deep immersion in the wild - a journey that leaves no one unchanged.
WALKING WILD is a testament to resilience, discovery and the deep connection between people and nature. If you've ever dreamt of experiencing Kruger beyond the safari vehicle, this book is your ticket to the trail.
