Hands-On Simulation Modeling with Python - Develop simulation models for improved efficiency and precision in the decision-making process

Giuseppe Ciaburro

Summary

Simulation modelling is an exploration method that aims to imitate physical systems in a virtual environment and retrieve useful statistical inferences from it. The ability to analyze the model as it runs sets simulation modelling apart from other methods used in conventional analyses. This book is your comprehensive and hands-on guide to understanding various computational statistical simulations using Python. The book begins by helping you get familiarized with the fundamental concepts of simulation modelling, that’ll enable you to understand the various methods and techniques needed to explore complex topics. Data scientists working with simulation models will be able to put their knowledge to work with this practical guide. As you advance, you’ll dive deep into numerical simulation algorithms, including an overview of relevant applications, with the help of real-world use cases and practical examples. You'll also find out how to use Python to develop simulation models and how to use several Python packages. Finally, you’ll get to grips with various numerical simulation algorithms and concepts, such as Markov Decision Processes, Monte Carlo methods, and bootstrapping techniques.
By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to construct and deploy simulation models of your own to overcome real-world challenges.

The Invention of Tomorrow - A...

Thomas Suddendorf, Jonathan...

A spellbinding exploration of the human capacity to imagine the future  
 
Our ability to think about the future is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal. In The Invention of Tomorrow, cognitive scientists Thomas Suddendorf, Jonathan Redshaw, and Adam Bulley argue that its emergence transformed humans from unremarkable primates to creatures that hold the destiny of the planet in their hands.  
 
Drawing on their own cutting-edge research, the authors break down the science of foresight, showing us where it comes from, how it works, and how it made our world. Journeying through biology, psychology, history, and culture, they show that thinking ahead is at the heart of human nature—even if we often get it terribly wrong. Incisive and expansive, The Invention of Tomorrow offers a fresh perspective on the human tale that shows how our species clawed its way to control the future.

Escaping from Eden - Does...

Paul Wallis

The familiar stories of the book of Genesis affirm that God made the universe, planet Earth, and you and me. However, various anomalies in the text clue us that we are not reading the original version of these stories. So what were the original narratives and what did they say about who we are and where we all came from? What was the earlier story of human origins, almost obliterated from the Hebrew Scriptures in the 6th century BC, and suppressed from Christian writing in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD? And what does any of this have to do with extraterrestrials? 
Escaping from Eden will take you on a journey around the world and into the mythologies of ancient Sumeria, Mesoamerica, India, Africa, and Greece, to reveal a profound secret, hidden in plain sight in the text of the Bible. Far reaching and deepy controversial, this book points to truths about ourselves, the universe and everything which you may have long suspected but not dared to speak!

Epidemics - Understanding the...

Kevin Thorley

This book consists of 4 titles, which are the following: 
Global Health - Global health is a field that aims to improve health and achieve equity in health for people around the world. It involves understanding health issues that go beyond national boundaries and are influenced by conditions in various parts of the globe. The primary goal of global health is to reduce health disparities and enhance well-being on an international level by examining how diseases spread, what factors affect health, and the most effective methods to improve public health outcomes. 
Immunology - The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against harmful pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Its primary function is to identify and eliminate foreign invaders while distinguishing them from the body's own healthy cells. This ability to recognize self from non-self is crucial for maintaining overall health and preventing disease. 
Toxicology - Toxicology is the scientific study of the adverse effects of chemical substances on living organisms. It encompasses a broad range of disciplines, including biology, chemistry, pharmacology, and environmental science, and is essential for understanding the impact of toxins on human health and the environment. The origins of toxicology can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where herbal remedies and poisons were used in medicine and warfare. 
Virology - Virology is the scientific study of viruses, their structure, function, and impact on living organisms. Viruses are unique entities, existing at the boundary between life and non-life, requiring host cells to reproduce. This field covers the classification of viruses, their methods of replication, and the various ways they interact with hosts, often causing diseases.

The Shocking Truth about Natural...

Zoey Fraisers

In recent years, the popularity of natural remedies has surged, with more and more people turning to herbal supplements, essential oils, superfoods, and alternative therapies as an alternative to conventional medicine. In a world where many are seeking healthier, more holistic ways to care for their bodies, natural remedies often seem like the solution to various health issues. The promise of a natural, side-effect-free way to heal is undeniably appealing. But, as we dive into the world of natural healing, it’s essential to ask: How much of this is rooted in truth, and how much is driven by the allure of unproven claims?
The shift toward natural remedies isn’t just a modern trend. It’s a return to ancient practices that have been used for thousands of years, from herbal medicine in ancient civilizations to the teachings of indigenous cultures who relied on the earth’s offerings for healing. Yet, despite their long history, the benefits of many natural remedies are still being researched and debated by scientists and health professionals. While some have proven their worth through rigorous studies and centuries of use, others remain shrouded in mystery or are often based on myths that have persisted through time.
This book aims to peel back the layers of misinformation, misconceptions, and unsubstantiated claims surrounding natural remedies. We’ll explore the science behind these remedies, uncover the potential dangers, and provide insight into which natural treatments are actually backed by evidence. By examining both the pros and cons of using natural remedies, we aim to give you a balanced and honest perspective on their effectiveness and safety. It’s crucial to understand that while nature has much to offer, it’s not a magical cure-all, and in some cases, it can pose risks when misused.
