Summary

Animal House - a Guinea Pig Discusses Vivisection
Animal House is an account of vivisection from the point of view of a guinea pig in an animal house awaiting sacrifice in the interests of medicine and humankind. He is initially supportive of his role in life, but gradually realises that using animals to benefit the welfare of humans is not quite as straightforward or innocent as he thought. Written in the style of  George Orwell's masterpiece, Animal Farm, the book draws attention to the moral issues involved in a controversial and ongoing debate.

    The phenomenon, named the fourth industrial revolution, and also known as Big Data, is bringing profound changes to the world we live in. It is still difficult to make accurate predictions of how the phenomenon will affect our lives and our world, but Big Data will change your personal life, your home, your car, your job, your health, your friendships, your diet, your sleep, and your leisure. 
    Large-scale data, with speed and variety never before imagined makes today's technology difficult to store and process. But what good is a mountain of data if we can't extract value? Behind this phenomenon is electronic data. A few decades ago, this was produced by a few types of equipment and had a high cost of storage; today it is produced everywhere, and the cost of storage is very low, and getting cheaper by the day. 
    This book provides an introduction to the world of Data Science With Python. It explains analysis techniques using codes and includes over 60 programs that will walk you through Step by Step how to use Python in the world of data science. This hands-on approach makes the presentation much more concrete. 
    Finally, the readers will have a better grasp of the complexity of Python as we will explore the extensive use of Python libraries, which hide details behind powerful functions. It is a powerful mystery that we can teach you to solve. Now is your chance to get a hands-on approach to data science with Python.

    Mathematics contains an important study field under the name Chaos theory. Chaos theory studies the concept and behavior of highly insensitive dynamical systems. It also studies behavior of dynamic systems in initial conditions, which often turns out to be super sensitive at a very high level. In Chaos theory, this concept is referred as Butterfly effect, which is the main field of study in this theory. From which, various branches are spread and constantly progressing and being developed. Various initial conditions are made because of some numerical errors in computations. These errors provide wildly diverging results for some dynamic systems. This makes it almost impossible to predict the behavior of long-term rendering. This happens even when behavior of this system is determined by initial conditions of very same system and no random elements are involved in process. Dynamic systems with such conditions are known as deterministic. In simple words, it can be said that such deterministic behavior or say nature of any kind of dynamic system is not able enough to make them predictable. Such deterministic behavior is known as deterministic chaos or just chaos. The whole theory of chaos is based on this simple fact. Each concept of chaos theory is based on these handful statements. Thus, an attempt was made by Edward Lorenz in order to describe the main concept of chaos theory in a single definition. 
    According to him: 
    “Present can determine the future, but approximate present cannot determine approximate future.” 
    Many natural systems such as weather, climate, etc follow the rules of chaos theory. They possess the same chaotic behavior as described in chaos theory. Not only natural system, but some artificial systems, or system that contains artificial components also follows the same chaotic behavior. Road traffic is a great example of such artificial system since it contains multiple artificial components that are not a part of nature. Chaotic mathematical model is analyzed in order to understand such behaviors of natural and artificial dynamic systems. For such analyzing process, analyzing techniques such as recurrence plots and Poincare maps are implemented. 
    Following is a list of fields and disciplines in which chaos theory is applied or is applicable:MeteorologySociologyPhysicsEnvironmental scienceComputer scienceEngineeringEconomicsBiologyEcologyPhilosophy 
    These are the field, in which chaos theory has been successfully applied, that too with expected results. There are many other fields, in which research is still going on about application of chaos theory.

    Physics is a Greek work and in a wider sense it means science of nature. All physical phenomena has to be reproducible is one of the vital elements in physics. It is important that all the theories be established by experiments or observations as it is the initial step towards the progress of any physical theory. The next step would comprise of structuring a model or theory in order to explain the experiment or the observations. Besides producing results of the said theory a model also has to make predictions. Predictions are important to clearly grasp the model of the physical process. To conclude the theory needs to be corroborated by the experimentations offered by the model. The model will be accepted and validated only if the forecasts are correct. It is important that more experiments be directed with more precision to test the theory over and over again. In physics it is said that an experiment might be enough to quash a model and there are no fixed numbers of experiments which can verify that a theory is absolutely correct. 
    There is dissimilarity among models overall and fundamental concepts. Models are basic descriptions of nature whereas fundamental theories are sources on some maxims from which in principle all physical occurrences can be explained. Like, a complicated system is abridged by justified suppositions. These models play a vital role in nuclear physics where the collaboration is very complex to permit a usage by first principles. 
    For all situations it is important that a theorist be imaginative and intuitive as having a good imagination is more significant than being knowledgeable. It denotes the cognizance of mechanics of how the universe functions.

    An IT service desk is the first point of contact between users and an IT organisation. A service desk is a one-stop destination for enquiries, requests and reporting issues, ensuring continuing use of IT services without disruption. They have become intrinsic in modern organisations.
    A service desk makes prioritising and responding to customer enquiries much more efficient, saving time and money. More and more organisations are understanding that customer satisfaction is key to developing their business.
    The Service Desk Handbook - A guide to service desk implementation, management and support provides operational guidance for implementing, managing and supporting service desks in the enterprise. It will help service desk teams in adopting ITIL® to accomplish their tasks while making the necessary adaptations as per their organisation's needs.
    Suitable for service desk agents, supervisors and managers, as well as project managers and senior management looking to revise processes, this book will help readers get a service desk unit off the ground and act as a key reference guide once the service desk has been implemented.
    Topics covered include:
    • Planning for a service desk;
    • Telephony and tooling;

    PTSD - A Short History

    Post-traumatic stress disorder — and its predecessor diagnoses, including soldier's heart, railroad spine, and shell shock — was recognized as a psychiatric disorder in the latter part of the 19th century. The psychic impacts of train crashes, wars, and sexual shocks among children first drew psychiatric attention. Later, enormous numbers of soldiers suffering from battlefield traumas returned from the world wars.It was not until the 1980s that PTSD became a formal diagnosis, in part to recognize the intense psychic suffering of Vietnam War veterans and women with trauma-related personality disorders. PTSD now occupies a dominant place in not only the mental health professions but also major social institutions and mainstream culture, making it the signature mental disorder of the early 21st century.In PTSD, Allan V. Horwitz traces the fluctuations in definitions of and responses to traumatic psychic conditions. Arguing that PTSD, perhaps more than any other diagnostic category, is a lens for showing major historical changes in conceptions of mental illness, he surveys the conditions most likely to produce traumas, the results of those traumas, and how to evaluate the claims of trauma victims.
