NEGOTIATE your way to RICHES / by Wink, Peter, 1966-, author 655681

“…And just as important, it will show you how to go about "convincing others to give you what you want." BOTTOM LINE: if you buy or sell anything personally or professionally, this book can make or save you a fortune!.…”

The Battle for ‘Trayvon Martin’: Mapping a Media Controversy Online and Offline by Graeff, Erhardt

“…But the story gained attention and controversy over Martin’s death dominated headlines, airwaves, and Twitter for months, thanks to a savvy publicist working on behalf of the victim’s parents and a series of campaigns off–line and online. Using the theories of networked gatekeeping and networked framing, we map out the vast media ecosystem using quantitative data about the content generated around the Trayvon Martin story in both off–line and online media, as well as measures of engagement with the story, to trace the interrelations among mainstream media, nonprofessional and social media, and their audiences. …”

Library cafes : next logical step by Pierce, William

“…But now, in the more relaxed, unencumbered age in which we live traditional library customs and practices once held sacrosanct are being re-evaluated in relation to the bottom line. And the bottom line, at least as far as public libraries are concerned, is getting more people to use the library.…”

Non-abelian representations of some sporadic geometries by Ivanov, Alexander A., Pasechnik, Dmitrii V., Shpectorov, Sergey V.

“…For a point-line incidence system S =(P, L) with three points per line we define the universal representation group of S asR(S)= 〈zp, p∈P|zp^2=1 for p∈P,zp zq zr = 1 for {p,q,r} ∈ L〉We prove that if G is the 2-local parabolic geometry of the sporadic simple group F1(the Monster) or F2(the Baby Monster) thenR(G)≅F1or 2·F2, respectively.…”

3D object detection for autonomous vehicle by Wang, Yihan

“…3D object detection plays an important role in autonomous driving, while most state-of-the-art researches are developed based on 64-line LiDARs. However, the cost of high-resolution LiDARs are several magnitude higher than the low- resolution applied LiDARs on the makes the current research majority of low-cost robotics hard to be widely platforms. …”

Wear behaviour of NiTi shape memory alloys by Yan, Lina

“…For example, since mechanical properties of NiTi SMAs are close to those of cortical bones, NiTi SMA based implants such as joint replacements, bone plates, and spine fracture fixations were developed. However, complex wear modes on the surface may cause undesired reactions from neighboring tissues, leading to a serious inflammation of the human body. …”
